Page 119 of How to Seduce a Slender

“Smith, please,” she begged. He soaked himself in her, not moving an inch. She whined, “I thought you were going to fuck me.”

“I will,” he murmured, kissing up her sternum until he caught a nipple in his mouth. Melody wrapped her arms and legs around him, begging him in. He held still. Smith popped off her nipple with another smack. “Tell me, Melody Deathless, are you in the mood to make another deal?”

“You absolute, rotten bastard,” she cackled, peeling her eyes open. It was a struggle as her body hummed with need, and here he was…stalling.

“Is that a no?” he snickered evilly.

“What could you possibly want to make a deal for?” She jabbed him hard in the shoulder with an accusatory finger.

“Not right now. It’d be improper to ask you now. I’m merely anticipating if you’dlike tomake a deal.” He grinned that cheeky grin that made her heart warm.

“I’ll pinkie promise you a deal tonight if you fuck me already,” she shot back, extending that pinkie to him.

“I’ll take that.” He snatched up her pinkie in his before slamming his hips into her. Melody saw oblivion as her eyes rolled back in her head. He thrust into her with little hesitation, picking up speed. Her toes curled once more, fingers too, as she moaned his praise. Over and over as he kissed her neck. He even kissed along the mark, being extra tender with his lips but extra vicious with his cocks. Her soul left her body once more as the bliss rolled back over her.

“Smith,” she cried out again, dragging her nails through him. This time, there was no frantic tussle back and forth between the realms. There was no nasty dance from the endless woods to reality. It was just Smith and Melody, on the bathroom floor, fucking like the hungry things they were.

Starved for each other. And she loved every second. Even as she ground the petals under her body into dust. Even as he latched onto her ear lobe. Even as he whispered filthy nothings into her ear. “My wicked, wicked girl, making deals with my cocks buried in you, with my tendrils fucking you in the tub. How I love when you’re wicked. When you’re naughty. When you’re asking for me the spank you, to snatch that tongue out of your lips, when you’rebeggingme to chase you. I’m going to fill you with every drop of my venom I can. And when it seeps into your blood, I’m going to hunt you down. Find those pretty legs trembling and your cunt aching to be filled. And I’ll fuck you where I catch you, my wicked prey.”

“Do I get to wear a big dress you have to toss over my head before you can fuck me where you catch me?” she teased, trembling from throat to toe. Goosebumps covered every inch of her.

“You do,” he growled in her ear. Hips snapping, feet pressing against the wooden cabinets that groaned, she worried he might break something in all his ferocity. “Any other requests?”

“For every minute I keep away from you, it’s another spank?” She quirked a brow.

He groaned loudly. His face pressed against the side of her face. “The gods made you to ruin me, didn’t they?”

“Mmm, I’m pretty sure they made you to domesticate me,” she shot back kissed his cheek. “Come for me, Smith. I wanna feel you inside me. And then I wanna wear that pretty dress you’ve promised me. And I wanna dance with you in the ballroom, and then I want you to chase me till my legs give out.”

“Deal.” He kissed her cheek hard as his body snapped up against hers. And she felt every rope of him as he painted her insides with his delight.

Chapter Forty-Five:

Smith

Heledherbythe hand through the halls, holding up a candelabra ahead of them. She clung to him. Melody bounced with excitement. Her shadowy tail whipped back and forth—he could have sworn he felt the gust. Then the doors to the ballroom spread open and he was greeted with exactly what he wanted. An open ballroom with a singular table at the back, candles floating in the air, soft music playing over a crackling record player, and an entire room to themselves. He set his candelabra on a side table as the door shut behind him. He’d bribed every single person to take the night off. With Agatha, he got her tickets to a fashion show in King’s Fall with Austin as her escort. Kevin was out with the farm animals, Havershum and him given all the eldritch rats Smith could muster up or summon to chase. He’d gotten Greggory new books to read quietly in the library.They weren’t going to push him out, he was much too scared of the world outside the house.And for Lord and Lady Rosemont, he’d arranged a night out of dancing with the Hauntings at that restaurant on the far side of the city.

Smith wanted it to just be them. As much as he loved all of them…he didn’t want to share this with anyone but her.

“Would you like to eat first or dance first?” He took her hand and led her across the floor. The music picked up around them.

“Well, seeing as someone rearranged my guts, probably best if we dance first. Let my stomach settle back down into my belly.” She flashed him a wolfish grin before assuming ‘the position’. Smith swooped in, clutching her by the small of the back and resting her arm on his shoulder. Melody took a deep breath in but followed Smith as he led them. One, two, three. One, two, three.

One day, he’d forget what happened with Elyth.

Two people couldn’t dwell on it forever, not when there was a whole city that needed Smith’s expertise and Melody’s smile.

Three, he took a deep breath in. “So, about that deal.”

“About that deal,” she snickered.

“I have a proposition for you. As you know, there’s a lot of work to do for this house and not all of it can be done from inside the house.” He brought her in close as a signal and she immediately softened as he spun her out.

“Don’t ask me to become a lawyer, Smith. I’ll punch people before I argue about tree law.”

Smith snorted loudly, spinning her back into him. He leaned her against his body, whispering in her ear. “I’m not asking you to be a lawyer, sweet girl. But I’ll keep that in mind.”

Melody snuck a tongue out at him only to suck in back in before he could snatch it. She grinned playfully, “Well then what are you asking? You want a travel buddy? Me to walk you into work everyday?”
