He chuckled again before grinding his length against my core, creating delicious friction. However, before he could put his erection to good use, my stomach decided to ruin my fun with its even ruder interruption in the form of a grumble. Draven raised himself up and made a show of looking down at my belly.

“Ignore it… now what were you saying about insatiable wild beasts?”

“I believe I called you insatiable and I the wild beast, but with the sound you just made, perhaps I got it wrong,” he asked, raising a brow in a teasing way, making me blush.

“Ha ha,” I mocked, making him smirk. But before I could say another thing, he was suddenly up out of bed and tugging on a cord I knew would ring one of the bells in the servant wing. The sight of his naked arse was one I couldn’t help but admire, as it was like looking at a real-life Adonis.

“Wait, what are you doing?” I asked, covering myself back up with the sheet, panicked that someone would suddenly walk in.

“I am feeding my woman, that is what.”

“Oh, my Lord, I didn’t know you cooked,” I joked, making him give me a wry look that I couldn’t help but laugh at.

“Oh, you wish to play, do you?” he threatened light-heartedly, stalking back towards the bed. I scrambled away from him, knowing what was coming.

“No, no, just… hahaa… making… hahahah an… observation!” This came out in laughing bursts as he grabbed my ankle and pulled me to him so he could tickle me. Which meant that when the door knocked, I froze in his hold, making him grin down at me.

“One moment!” he shouted before dipping his lips to my neck and kissing his way up to my ear.“I have a little maid to torture.”

I huffed, making him wink at me before he sucked my lip into his mouth, kissing me. Only pulling back long enough to say,

“I adore this cute little pout of yours.”

Then I snapped my lips at him, pretending to try and bite him, prompting him to comment,

“And you call me a wild beast.” He lifted himself off me completely, and I couldn’t help but argue.

“I believe you claimed that title for yourself, my Lord.”

He scoffed in response before reaching for his dressing gown and putting it on so he wasn’t standing naked at the door when he answered it. As for me, I quickly hid under the covers before anyone could see who it was in his bed.

“I would like dinner brought up,” I heard him say to whoever was on the other side of the door.

“Right away, my Lord.”

“Oh, and bring two trays, for the new lady of the house is rather hungry.”

I couldn’t help but groan under the sheet, not missing the little gasp of surprise from the maid.

“Yes, my Lord.”

Seconds later, the door closed, and I yelped when the sheet was ripped from me, leaving me stark naked.

All humour left him as lust quickly took over, his eyes scanning the length of my body as if he was seeing it for the first time.

“I don’t believe this will be proper attire for dinner,” I pointed out, making him smirk down at me.

“Who says?” he asked.

“According to you, the new lady of the house,” I replied, stretching for the sheet, one that he quickly held out of reach.

“Youareto be the new lady of the house,” he stated, making me chuckle,

“My my, you do move fast, Lord Draven.”

“That’s Dominic to you,” he said, leaning closer as I still tried to grab the sheet.

“Then my witchcraft must be working,” I teased back, making him grin.
