Page 68 of Can't Always Get What You Want

“Loud and clear.” I gaze back. “Fully committed to exorcsizing your demons.”

She snorts, head thumping back onto the pillow. “You’re an idiot.”

“An idiot on his knees,” I remind her, lifting a brow. “Who’s about to make you come.”

For once, Nova doesn’t argue back, and I reward her by sucking on the fabric between her thighs until I draw a thin moan from her throat.

Run my forefinger along the hem, teasing the sensitive spot before my thumb presses against her clit, moving in a slow, circular motion…

“I guess I won’t argue with you,” she says in a whisper.

“Hmm? I can’t hear you, I’m solely focused on Mavis.” My thumb has her eyes fluttering shut. “She’s very responsive tonight. I think she likes me.”

She chokes on a laugh. “I cannot believe I’m letting you do this.”

“I repeat:on my knees.This is the picture of true romance.”

She opens her eyes to glare at me, but her breathing stutters when I drag my mouth up the inside of her thigh once more, grazing the edge of her panties with my teeth.

Nova is perfect.

Nova and her perfect pussy…

My mouth returns to the edge of her underwear, and I press a slow, deliberate kiss to the damp fabric. Suck.

Suck some more. The goal: getting her wet.

Wet.

Wetter…

She gasps, back arching, one hand fisting the sheets, the other reaching forward and tugging at my hair.

“O-okay,” she stutters. “I take it back.”

I pause. “Take what back?”

“You’re not an idiot.”

I glide my palms down her inner thighs…up again…up her waist and back down. Let them hook inside the waist of the silk, tugging them down her hips.

Over her knees…

Down over her ankles…

Drop them to the floor without a glance because nothing down there matters right now.

I lean closer.

Spread her legs with my large palms, my tan hands a stark comparison to her smooth, pale flesh.

My hands are slow and intentional, as they come up to her thighs again—large, callused, a little shaky if I’m being honest. I spread her gently and move my mouth to her wet pussy, and all I can think as she watches me is:please let this be more than one night because I'm already ruined.

And I haven’t even kissed her yet.
