He grabbed my hands and said, “To be honest, I woke up because I felt your unease. If this will help you sleep better, than I’ll do it as much as you need. Sacrificing a few hours of sleep is nothing if it helps you.”
Moving from my chair to straddle his legs and sit in his lap, I kissed him deeply. “I love you, Mas. I know I don’t say it enough.”
He stroked the back of his knuckles down my cheek and said, “I see it in the way you look at me and feel it through our bond. Though, I do enjoy hearing you say it as well.”
“I wish I could go back and change the years apart,” I admitted. “To not be so childish in my reaction.”
He shook his head. “If I were in your shoes, I likely would have done the same. Plus, we’re together now and that is all that matters. Now, curse me.”
Laughing, I summoned my powers and ordered the snake to curse him with Scatterbrain. She turned into a mostly see-through shadow and swirled around Mason’s head before returning to me.
He scowled. “I didn’t feel the curse placed, but I can definitely feel a weight added to me. And …” He frowned. “Wait, what were we talking about?”
“Well, that was obviously a success. Okay, now remove,” I ordered.
She did the same motion, but this time I watched her withdraw a wisp of shadow from the back of his neck.
Interesting.
Mason shuddered. “Okay, that’s creepy. I donotlike how that feels.”
“That was easier than I anticipated,” I whispered in surprise. “I thought it would take me some practice to learn it, but it’s … natural.”
“Probably because you are spiteful like your grandmother,” he said.
My mouth dropped open. “I’m not spiteful!”
He smiled, draped an arm around my shoulders, and said, “Baby, you blocked me because Kayden said something that hurt your feelings. You’re spiteful.”
“Hmph.” Since I couldn’t argue against that, I just didn’t say anything.
“Ready for bed now?” He stood and stretched his arms up over his head, exposing a strip of skin beneath his shirt and above his shorts.
“No, I think I’m ready for something else, though.” I slid my hand up beneath his shirt and stroked his abs while looking up at him from my chair.
He lowered his arms slowly, eyes focused on me.
Stroking my way down from his abs to his waistband, I smiled as he grew hard from the simple touch. I gripped him through his shorts and he sucked in a breath.
“Good thing Maya and Piper can’t come down here,” I said and pulled down his shorts, freeing his erection, which was perfectly at the height for me to draw him into my mouth.
He groaned and slid his hand into my hair. “Fuck, your mouth feels good.”
The bond between us caused me to feel not only my arousal, but his as well and instead of taking it slow like I wanted, it had meneedinghim immediately.
I gripped him at the base of his shaft and bobbed back and forth, relaxing my throat to swallow him all the way to my hand.
His grip on my hair tightened, but he held himself back from thrusting into my mouth. After another minute, he stepped back, pulled me up out of the chair, pushed my upper back so that I lay my chest onto the table, and pulled my pajama pants down.
I gasped as the cool air hit my drenched core.
“So wet for me,” he crooned and slid the tip of his erection inside of me. “Fuck,” he groaned as he slowly entered me, filling me up, and stretching me perfectly.
“Yes,” I moaned.
Gripping my hips, he pulled back until he was almost out of me before slamming back fully into me.
“Yes,” we both whispered.
