My hands trembled as I pulled my sweater over my head. Then my bra. And reached for the iPad. “This is vicious. I should report you.”

“To your king? I’ll make sure he hears about it.” Enzo lowered his lips to the inside of my thigh and sucked lightly on the smooth skin. “Have I mentioned that yours are the most perfect tits I’ve ever seen?”

My legs opened wider with the compliment.

He teased my g-spot again, and I took an unsteady breath in. “Read, Princess. Use your free hand to touch your nipple.”

I did as he’d commanded, but couldn’t focus on the words. He alternated between playing with my clit and my g-spot. His lips moved slowly up the inside of my thigh, licking and sucking.

My eyes closed after a few minutes, and I finally dropped the device next to me. “Just do what you want with me already, Alpha.”

“That’s not what I am to you.” He nipped at my clit with his teeth, and I swore.

“Enzo.”

He rewarded me with his tongue on my clit—and didn’t stop until I was so wrung out and exhausted that I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed him by the perfect, messy waves of his hair and towed him up my body.

“Just hug me,” I mumbled. “I need to sleep.”

“Alright, Princess.” He rolled beneath me, yet again being careful with my ankle. I was pretty sure it was healed already, but I didn’t say that. I was too tired to even think it.

His cock was like iron against my hip, but I ignored it. He did too.

“I want to eat you every night for the rest of my life,” he rumbled, his lips brushing my ear. I could smell my pleasure on his mouth, and felt a weak surge of pride.

He liked the way I tasted.

He liked making me feel good.

That was insane, and unexpected. And perfect.

"We’ll see.” My voice was barely above a whisper.

“Wake me up when heat starts.”

“It’ll wake you up on its own.”

He asked what that meant, but I was already asleep.

Vaguely, I heard him sigh and pull me tighter against him.

And kiss my forehead.

I had to have imagined that last part, though.

ASPEN

Hands were moving roughlyover my body when I woke up. A mouth grazed my breast. Teeth followed it, making my body arch in pleasure.

The scent around me was so thicklyEnzo, and all I felt was need.

“I can’t take it anymore,” he gritted out. When I met his gaze, I found more than the mindless lust I expected.

Desperation.

Guilt.
