Page 40 of Huntress and the Thorn Court
I stared at his outstretched hand. I wanted to take it. To go into his arms, but what he said the morning after the full moon still gnawed at me.
“You have to forgive me eventually.”
I peered up at him from under my lashes. “You’ve never asked.”
His brow knitted, floored by my statement. Shoving off his desk where he’d been leaning, he strode over closing the distance between us once more. His hand snaked around my waist yanking me to him. I arched away feigning revulsion when I truly enjoyed the feel of his body against mine.
“I am sorry, Isabel.”
My mouth fell agape. I was stunned mute as the king among Alphas apologized to me. I doubted there were many who had heard this prideful man utter those words.
“I did not mean it the way it came out. I was just surprised that a mouthy, arrogant, beautiful huntress was what finally caught my wolf’s eye.”
“You were doing really good up until mouthy.”
“Did I redeem myself with the beautiful part.”
“Maybe.”
“Am I forgiven?” He leaned in until his mouth hovered just above mine.
“Do you mean it?”
He pulled back so he could stare into my brown eyes. “I never apologize unless I mean it. Do you accept it? I don’t think I can handle this distance between us anymore.”
The words he’d just uttered were simple, but coming from him made them hold a heavy weight. I nodded.
“Then show me.” His voice rumbled with the command, but the devilish glint in his eye told me it was just playful teasing.
Smiling wickedly at him, I kissed him as my hands busied themselves with his belt. We shuffled back toward his desk until Gideon bumped into it. He tried tugging at my clothes, but I stepped back. Once the belt was no longer in the way, I made quick work of his button and zipper. Staring at him seductively from under my lashes, I dropped to my knees just as a pounding resounded at the door.
“Go away!” Gideon yelled as my hands faltered.
“I’m sorry, sir,” someone timidly called at the door. “But an entourage just arrived from the Hunter’s Order and they wish to speak to you immediately.”
“Tell them I’m in the middle of something.”
I tried not to chuckle at his words. Then feeling brazen, I slipped my hands into his pants and eased his erection out from its confines. It stood proud begging for my attention. Gideon watched me shocked, but made no move to stop me, as I slid my tongue up from the base of him to the tip where I swirled around it like a lollipop. I groaned savoring the flavor of him.
“I’m sorry, sir but they’re pretty insistent.”
Gideon growled but didn’t stop my movement. “Fine tell them to give me five—” He groaned as I took him fully into my mouth.
“Sir?”
Growling from the distraction of what I was doing, he bellowed, “Tell them I’ll be with them as soon as I can.”
Pulling back, I stared as a pearl appeared on his tip. Moaning I licked it off, causing him to groan. With other men this had always felt like a task, but with Gideon, I enjoyed it. Knowing that I could hold control over this powerful man was a heady concoction.
“What else is there?” Gideon yelled at the door. I hadn’t realized someone was still there
“Sir, it’s just that…”
“Out with it.” His muscles were tightening. He was closing in on his finish as my mouth stroked him.
“They’d like Princess Isabel to attend the meeting as well and…” I faltered in my rhythm. My eyes went wide as I flicked a nervous glance up at Gideon. What a sight I must have been on my knees with Gideon’s manhood still in my mouth. I’d not been referred to as princess except in mockery.
“You haven’t found her to deliver the message?”
