“Is preheat over?”
 
 “For the moment. Probably not for long, though.”
 
 “Then take your thong off. I want to watch this.”
 
 “This, meaning…”
 
 “Me getting you off repeatedly. If I’m going to spend heat with my knot inside you, I get to enjoy myself now.”
 
 My forehead creased. “It will feelamazingfor you when you’re knotting me. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the reason Silas hated spen?—”
 
 “You’re a virgin,” he barked. “And this is a different kind of pleasure. Making you feel good feels good.”
 
 He was officially just as insane as I was.
 
 “Okay,” I finally said. “Sure.”
 
 I eased my thong off, and he maneuvered it around my ankle again before tossing it on top of my leggings.
 
 “Read your book again,” he ordered.
 
 I sighed.
 
 His lips twitched. The bastard was excited, and trying to pretend otherwise.
 
 I reluctantly picked it up, and refocused as his hand went back to my thigh, higher than before.
 
 A few minutes later, my hips were wiggling a little again.
 
 He rumbled in satisfaction.
 
 I squeezed my legs together as heat surged over me.
 
 Preheat.
 
 He waited until I’d dropped my iPad with a groan before he finally pushed my legs open, turning his entire body toward me with a wicked gaze.
 
 He dragged a finger over my clit, and I gasped out a curse, hips arching violently.
 
 “You love the way I touch you.”
 
 “Yes,” I moaned.
 
 “You’ll love the way my fingers feel inside you, too,” he said, teasing my entrance with a thick digit while he stroked my clit again slowly.
 
 “Please.”
 
 “Don’t beg me, Princess. You wear the crown, remember?” He filled me with his finger, and I tilted my hips so I could take it deeper. “So tight for me. My little virgin.” He pressed a kiss to the inside of my thigh, and I smacked the side of his head, earning a feral grin.
 
 “More,” I breathed.
 
 “Louder.”
 
 “More,” I ordered, and he slid a second finger inside me.
 
 He hooked them lightly, hitting my g-spot just right, and I cursed as my second climax tore through me.
 
 His fingers were still buried inside me when I came down from the high, his gaze hot and his grin lingering. “Take off your top and start reading again. I’ll wait here.”
