I slide my hands up the sides of his abdomen, hoping to lure out more.

My goal is to get so overwhelmed by it that I start to want what’s about to happen between us. Clenching my jaw, I lean forward and inhale his scent as more begins to spill out of him.

It immediately begins to take effect, intense arousal building inside of me. Gray looks confused by my actions, his eyebrows pulling together before he cups my cheeks.

“Are you okay?” he asks.

I nod, plastering a wide grin on my face.

“Yes. I’ve been thinking a lot about the dream you gave me yesterday,” I respond, internally cringing at how desperate that makes me sound.

Gray rubs my cheeks with his thumbs before lowering his hands to my shoulders. I hold back a wince as they land on the spot where Aziel grabbed me earlier. I’m most definitely going to be bruised.

Shrugging his hands off my arms, I dig my fingers into the muscles on his sides and urge him to walk back into his room. Trying to emulate the scenes I’ve read about in my books, I lead him to his bed and push him onto his mattress.

Gray chuckles as he lies down, his arms darting out to grab my waist and pull me on top. I breathe in more of his lust and feel my muscles relax as I straddle him. His underwear does little to hide his body’s reaction to me, and I stare at the bulge before settling myself on top of it.

He moans and rolls his hips, further pressing himself against me.

Before I can register what he’s doing, I’m pushed to the side and placed on my back. I stare up at him, my mind hazy as I crane my neck and bury my face into his chest so I can better breathe in his intoxicating scent.

Gray pulls back, his eyes narrowing before he bends and kisses my collarbone.

“You’re an awful liar, Charlie,” he whispers. “Why are you trying to feed me?”

Gray trails his lips from my collarbone to my neck. It feels good, and I tilt my head back as my mind goes blank. He’s so distracting, his mere presence intoxicating. It feels like every cell of my body is receptive and desperate for him. Gasping, I watch through my eyelashes as he pulls back and licks his lips. I want them on me again.

“Charlie,” he sings, teasing me. “You need to learn how to see past my lust.”

I blink before moaning as he lowers his head and licks my throat. My back arches, the feeling amazing. His lust fills my lungs, the smell of it everything I’ve ever wanted.

It’s so good.

“Why are you trying to feed me?” he repeats, grabbing my thighs and pulling them open so he can slide his hips between them.

“Fuck,” I gasp.

Gray grinds against me, his hardened length pressing against my clit through the material of our clothing. I groan, eager for more. If this is what feeding him is going to feel like, it may not end up being as bad as I initially thought.

I’ll hate myself later, sure, but it feels incredible in the moment.

Gray’s sigh is laced with disappointment when he pulls away, and I flinch as I look into his black eyes. Shouldn’t he be happy I’m feeding him?

“Answer me, Charlie.”

I don’t want this to stop, and I wrap my arms around his neck to prevent him from pulling away any further. He laughs at the attempt before grabbing my wrists and pushing my hands into the mattress next to my head.

This position is excellent, and I crane my neck so I can breathe in more of him. His lust isn’t as intense as it was when I first met him, but it’s still seeping out. I’m willing to bet intimacy makes it harder for him to hide it away.

He presses another kiss to the corner of my lips before disconnecting his hips from mine and hovering over me. Unhappy with the distance, I raise my pelvis until it connects with his. Gray’s eyes roll back before he shakes his head and hardens his expression.

The sight of his disappointment makes me want to cry.

“Do you want me to fuck you?” he asks, tilting his head to the side. “Think hard before you answer.”

Groaning, I nod. I want nothing more than that.

Gray frowns and tuts, his fingers tightening around my wrists. Why does he think I wouldn’t want him to fuck me? I want whatever he’s willing to give.
