“Oh, come on! I didn’t make you waitthatlong,” I fire back.

“Longer than you think.” He chuckles. “But you also surprised the fuck out of me. That was…” He whistles. “I’ve imagined your mouth on my cock plenty of times, but I never thought I’d blow up as I did.”

“That’s good, no?” I bat my lashes at him.

“Good? It’s beyond anything I would have imagined. You’re a natural, aren’t you?” he murmurs low in his throat. Pulling me by my nape, he smashes his lips against mine in an aggressive kiss. “My wife-to-be is a natural at sucking cock.”

My lashes flutter in embarrassment at his words.

“T-that’s because you taste good,” I admit bashfully.

He chuckles.

“Do all males taste like this?”

He suddenly stops. His expression becomes feral as his gaze darkens. His hold, too, tightens.

“Erase the thought ofothermales from your mind, Minnie. You willnevertaste anyone else.”

“I didn’t mean it like that. I was just curi?—”

“Don’t.”

“All right. I’m sorry,” I whisper, afraid I ruined the moment.

His gaze immediately softens.

“Don’t look at me like that.” He gathers me in his arms and hugs me to his chest. “I didn’t mean to snap at you. But I’m a goddamn jealous asshole. The thought ofanymale in your vicinity threatens to drive me crazy.”

“No, you’re right. I am the same. I wouldn’t want you to ask that about a female either.”

“Ah, my tiny darling, you’re so precious.”

“It seems we’re both jealous assholes.” I giggle nervously.

“Nope. Can never refer to you as an asshole. You can be my jealous goddess.”

“You don’t mind it then? If I’m jealous, too?”

He smiles at me.

“Tiny darling. You can be as jealous as you want. If you didn’t have that weird rule about not harming humans, I would be encouraging murder day and night. You are quite hot when you get all riled up and jealous over your male.” He gives me a quick kiss on the mouth. “Alas, I will have to be content withjustmaiming. Such a bad lot in life I have,” he adds with a sigh.

I raise a brow at him. “What?”

“Of course I will do the murder after you’ve done the maiming. I think that’s only fair.AndI will do both the maiming and the murder whenIget jealous. See, I’m all about equal opportunity.”

I blink. “You’re an odd duck, Mine.”

His lips tremble with mirth, remembering our first exchange.

“See, I finally got to duck you.”

“Finger-duck me,” I correct.

He throws back his head and laughs. “Finger-duck. Yes, yes. That I did.”

“And soon you will duck me properly.”
