I shrieked, startled, and Viktor swore loudly as he reached for the blanket, pulling it over us both. But just as quick as the mystery person had opened the door, they slammed it shut, and then there was the faint sound of their feet pattering on the ground as they hurried away.

We stared at the closed door for a long moment, unsure what to say or do before Viktor turned to face me. Our eyes locked, and I knew we were thinking the same thing.

Who had just come into our room?

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“Viktor,” I called out his name in a harsh whisper, pressing a hand to his chest to push him off me. “You’re still inside me.”

“I know.” He ground his hips into me.

My eyes threatened to roll into the back of my head with pleasure, and I bit down hard on my bottom lip to muffle the loud moan that threatened to escape.

“You need to get your cock out of me,” I whimpered, feeling like I was in two minds. As good as my husband felt inside me, someone had just walked into our room in the middle of the night.

“I hate those words,” Viktor groaned and dropped his face to rest in the valley between my breasts. He pressed a soft, lingering kiss there before he lifted himself off me, pulling his thick, throbbing cock out of me. It stood tall and proud, glistening with our juices in the candlelight, beckoning me to reach out and suck the bulbous head into my mouth. It took everything I possessed to resist the female urge. Instead, I sat up in bed and covered myself with the blanket.

“Who was at the door?” I asked, though my eyes remained glued on his cock, mesmerised as it bobbed slightly from how hard and heavy it was.

“I don’t know,” Viktor groaned, his eyelids heavy and his gaze downcast and stormy as he stared at me. “But if you keep looking at my cock like that, I’m going to have to push you down on your knees and pry open that pretty little mouth of yours, my siren.”

“They just had to open the door when I was so close,” I pouted, unable to stop myself from stealing glances at his cock. How could I not when it was still so gloriously hard and wet? It was his fault for distracting me with it.

I wanted Viktor everywhere. All over me. Under me.Inside me. I wanted him back in my arms and between my legs, but my head won over both my heart and pussy in this situation.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the mystery person who had walked in on us.

“It must have been one of the guys,” I murmured, gnawing on my bottom lip.

“They know better than to sneak into someone’s room in the middle of the night,” Viktor frowned and glanced over his shoulder at the door. He looked conflicted as he glanced between me and the door, and when he groaned, I knew his head had won out over his heart and cock as well. “Stay here,” he told me, already moving toward the door. “I’m going to find out who is wandering around the ship this late at night. And then when I find them, I’m going to rip them a new one for cockblocking me.”

I laughed as I watched Viktor leave, but when the sound ceased, my mind clouded with thoughts of the strange things happening around the ship as of late.

First, there was that person I was certain had run from the bathroom so I wouldn’t run into them. Next, there was that pool of vomit outside Roscoe and Manny’s room, which no one was willing to own up to. And now, someone had walked into ourroom in the middle of the night, but instead of owning up to the mistake, they had run away. Again.

I was sensing a pattern here.

My lips tugged down at the corners as my mind ran wild. Before I could freak myself out, Viktor returned.

“Caspian is keeping watch tonight,” Viktor murmured as he closed the door behind him. “But he says he didn’t see or hear anything.”

“Was it him who opened our door? Maybe he thought it was the bathroom?”

“No.” He shook his head. “I asked him about it, but he says he hasn’t left the deck since before we all turned in for the night.”

My nose scrunched up at the bridge. We all turned in hours ago. I didn’t want to think what that meant in terms of Caspian emptying his bladder.

“If it wasn’t Caspian, then it must have been one of the others, right?” I asked, moving over to make room for him on the bed.

Viktor settled in beside me. “Possibly, but I don’t think so. I knocked on everyone’s doors, but no one opened theirs.”

“That might not mean anything. Whoever it was could be embarrassed, so they didn’t open the door when you knocked.”

“I know,” he sighed, turning around to fluff his pillow before dropping his head on it. I did the same and snuggled into his side. He pulled the blanket up to cover us both. “This is all very strange, and frankly, I don’t think it was any of them that came into our room.”

“Why do you think that?” I asked, curious.

“If it were one of the guys, they would have said something. At the very least, they would have apologised for walking in on us in such a compromising situation. It’s not the first time one of us has accidentally walked into the wrong room in the middle of the night when returning from the bathroom. I’ve done it. We’veall done it. I can’t imagine why they would be so embarrassed about an honest mistake.”
