Page 58 of Lips of an Angel

I leaned in, whispering in his ear. “Can you say it again for me?”

“I love you,” he said, voice cracking—whether from exhaustion or emotion, I wasn’t sure. Then, in ASL, “I always have.”

“Fuck, Angel,” I groaned. “How? How did I not know?”

His only answer was another precious sound, and I begrudgingly let go of his hand so I could work my way south. I painstakingly stamped slow and sensual kisses down the soft skin of his back. As I mouthed over the outline of his wing tattoos, his skin quivered beneath my lips.

I paused. “What was that, darling?”

“Wings,” he signed.

My fingers crawled up his back, and the trembling intensified. “Is it uncomfortable?”

He nodded against the pillow.

“Then let them out.”

Unsure of what to expect, I slid back until I knelt on Angel’s calves. Then I watched, astonished, as his skin twisted and contorted right in front of me. A wash of golden light poured from his tattoos, casting the room in an ethereal glow.

Angel’s wings started small, protruding from his back, tips first. I was in awe as they expanded to their full size, barely able to fit in the room. Unable to resist, I ghosted my hand over the nearest one, my fingers sinking into the feathers. The wing shook again, and Angel shuddered beneath me.

“Does it feel good when I touch them?” I asked.

Angel nodded, then tousled his own hair. I didn’t need him to speak to know what he was saying: “Feels like playing with your hair.”

His wings relaxed, falling against the bed and trailing onto the floor. I swore I heard a soft purring noise, but I had more pressing matters to attend to. Angel had returned to humping the pillow, and my cock throbbed in response to the contented moans coming from his mouth. Damn it, if he was going to get off in front of me, he wasn’t going to do it alone.

“Hips up,” I instructed, and he obeyed immediately.

I guided him until he drew his knees to his chest to support himself. I took one of his ass cheeks in each hand and squeezed, drawing out a hard moan.

“You’re absolutely perfect, darling.”

Angel bucked back into my touch, and I took that as permission to keep going. I dipped down, tongue darting out to lick his eager hole. I knocked his legs farther apart and knelt between them, pulling more indecent sounds from his mouth. Angel rocked backward, and I gratefully accepted the invitation. My tongue coaxed the ring of muscle to relax until I could easily slip inside. I worked him open with my tongue, making sure he felt my piercing against his sensitive skin.

Once I felt that he was ready, I pulled back.

“Raleigh!”

I snarled, nearly losing it on the spot. I didn’t know hearing him shout my name would have me on the verge of orgasm, but damn, I’d rather die than go the rest of my life without hearing it again. I blew on his heated skin, and he squirmed beneath me.

I rimmed the muscle with my finger. “Again.”

He mewled, softer this time. “Raleigh…”

“God, I’ll never tire of that.” I spat on my finger, massaging it into his skin before I pushed through. He cried out, rocking back onto my finger. “How can I do this without hurting your wings?”

I crooked my finger, and Angel dropped his hand, panting. He looked over his shoulder, peering at me around his massive wing. His mouth curled into a cocky grin, and he signed, “I can show you how I ride.”

I raised a brow at him, and adding a second finger. Angel gasped, and my cock throbbed again. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, bringing myself away from the edge as Angel clenched around my fingers. I wouldnotblow before I got inside him.

“Where did you learn to ride, my sweet angel?” I teased his prostate again, and the move had him trembling in my arms.

“Does it matter?”

“Hell no.” I withdrew my fingers from Angel, laughing when he protested. “The faster you move, the faster I can be inside you.”

And boy, did he move. He whipped around so fast that one of his wings knocked over my nightstand, including the lamp. The room was plunged into dim light, only the warm glow that Angel gave off illuminating the space.
