I shifted in bed, between my thighs was deliciously sore. My brows crinkled. The heat I’d fallen asleep pressed up against wasn’t there anymore. The door clicked open, and familiar leather gloves slid over my bare shoulders. The prick of scruff scraped against my skin.

“Wake up, beautiful.” Gage kissed my neck, his hot breath on my ear. “We have a surprise for you.”

Groaning, I reached behind me, sliding my fingers into his short hair before tracing his bare face. “I think my legs don’t work.”

Gage chuckled. He looped his arms beneath me and lifted me out of the bed, sheet wrapped around me. “Then I will have to be your legs.”

“Where are we going?” I squealed, giggling as I clung to him.

We rounded the bed and stepped into the bathroom. Gage sat me on the counter. He flipped the water on, his eyes darkening as they swept over my sheet covered form.

“Time to get the queen ready for her court.”

“Oh?” I purred, smirking at him. “Are you going to be my attendant, Gage?”

Gage caged me in with his large muscular arms. “I’ll be whatever you want me to be.” He leaned toward me.

My hands cupped his bare face, amazed at how easily he let me see his face now. My fingers stroked his strong jawline, thumb brushing his lower lip.

“Fuck,” he breathed, leaning into my touch. “I forgot how good it was to be so exposed.”

My lips curled up. “And this isn’t even your best feature.”

Gage chuckled, and it was all man and sex and dark promises in the night. “Baby, you haven’t even gotten the full extent of it. Next time, I’m in charge.”

My head tilted up to meet his lips. He ravished my mouth, his tongue stroking and thrusting.

I moaned and arched into him. A tug and sharp pull released my body from the sheet, and my legs parted to accept him.

Gage grasped my butt, dragging me closer to the edge so he could grind himself against me.

I gasped in his mouth, still sensitive from last night, and fumbled for the hooks on his pants. I needed him out and in my hand, inside of me, right now.

Releasing my mouth with a reluctant groan, Gage grabbed my hands. “We don’t have time. They’re waiting for us.”

The desire that lit my body on fire faltered. “What? Who?”

He pecked my nose and stepped back. Those dark eyes skimmed over my naked form. I throbbed for him, my legs instinctively spreading further for him.

With a painful groan, Gage held out his hand. “Come on. Let’s get you ready to meet your court.”

Suspicion made my lips twist to the side, but I slipped off the counter and followed him to the shower. My eyes stayed on Gage while I soaped my body up, moving in slow tantalizing movements.

His eyes tracked each movement. His tongue wet his lips. Feminine pride swelled inside me.

I turned, giving him my back. “Do my back?”

His large hand took the scrubber and brushed it across my back in more of a caress than an actual cleaning. Once he got to the swell of my butt, he let out a low growl. The scrubber ploppedto the ground as his hands cupped my cheeks, slick with soap and water.

“The things I want to do to this ass, Eva.” A sharp slap. I yelped and moaned. Fingers slid between the cheeks, circling my back entrance before finding me wet and aching for him. “Do you know how hard it was not to be able to touch you?” His fingers tickled across my folds, touching everywhere but where I wanted.

“Gage,” I whimpered, thrusting my hips back toward him. “Please.”

“That’s it, baby.” He pressed just the tip of one of those thick fingers inside. “I’m going to make you beg so beautifully. We don’t have time for everything I want to do to you right now but this?” He thrust the digit teasing me fully inside. “This, we have time for.”

I scrambled to find something to hold onto, going up on my tiptoes with each thrust of his finger.

Gage pressed a button on the shower controls that I’d never been able to figure out, and a sharp spray shot against my side. Gage twisted me toward it.
