“Did I freak you out?” he asked quietly.

I blinked, trying to understand why he’d ask that. “Not at all. I think I just fell for you a little more.”

He exhaled and leaned over me again. “Good. Now you can focus on me instead of my room. After the coronation, you can redecorate however you want in here.”

I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant, but then his lips touched mine again. The need I’d felt moments ago slammed back through me. He rolled to his side next to me, snaking his hand underneath his shirt that I wore. Goose bumps trailed over my skin as he devoured my mouth.

When he peppered kisses down my face, I almost whined, but his lips felt nearly as good there as on my mouth. He drew up my shirt inch by inch, revealing my stomach, which he then nipped and licked. With each movement, he raised my shirt higher until he was gently removing it from my body.

So low that his words were almost indistinguishable, he growled, “You are so fucking beautiful.”

He lowered his head so that his mouth hovered over my breast. I moaned as his breath warmed me. Then he licked my nipple ever so softly, and my head fell back.

“Bodey,please,” I murmured, wanting his body all over me.

Instead, he took my nipple in his mouth and rolled his tongue over it. My fingers tangled in his hair, tugging gently, wanting more of everything.

I slipped a hand under his shirt and traced the curves of his muscles. The room spun, but I never wanted it to stop so long as he was the cause.

He nipped my breast lightly, igniting a spark inside me. “Oh gods,” I moaned.

My body was on fire, and there was only one way I’d be satiated. When he lowered his hands to the boxer shorts I wore, my stomach clenched tightly with need.

He paused, his lips moving across my breasts as he asked, “Is this okay?”

“You better not stop,” I threatened, pushing his hands lower.

A deep noise vibrated in his chest as he sucked each breast again and slipped one hand under the boxers and between my legs. Carefully, he circled a finger between my folds.

If I’d thought the friction was intense before, nothing had prepared me for this. I panted, on the brink of ecstasy.

“Tell me if I’m doing this wrong,” he whispered, rolling his tongue over my nipple again.

“Per—” I tried saying, but I couldn’t manage the rest of the word. All my focus was on my southern region.

He must have understood the message because he slipped his fingers inside me and thrust gently.

My insides clenched, and ecstasy exploded through me. I circled my hips, grinding as he kept tempo with my body.

But even when the pleasure eased, it left me with a more urgent need for him. If it felt like that with just his hands, I wanted to experience an orgasm with him inside me.

Dazed, I glanced at him to find he’d been watching me fall apart.

“That was so damn sexy.” He smirked and circled his fingers against me again.

Need knotted in my stomach, but I pushed him away. He’d pleasured me and gotten me ready—now it was my turn to touch him. “Lie down,” I commanded.

“But…” He pouted until I slid a hand inside his sweatpants and took hold of him.

His eyelids drooped, and he leaned up, capturing my lips with his. Our tongues collided. In sync with my pace as I stroked him. His hips jerked, and his hands cupped my breasts. We caressed each other, lost in the moment. Nothing existed outside of him and me, and I never wanted that to change.

“Stop,” he rasped and grabbed my hand. “This isn’t how I want to finish.” He rolled me onto my back and stood in front of me. He then removed my boxer shorts and scanned me as he undressed.

He’d always been handsome, but to see him like this—bare in front of me—was hotter than anything I’d ever seen before. Every inch of him was hard and perfect.

I scooted back to give him room, and he positioned himself between my legs. He guided himself to my opening, and I was desperate for him to slip in. But he paused.

“Are you sure?” he breathed, his indigo irises glowing. “There’s no going back if we do this. I’m barely able to keep myself from claiming you now. If we—”
