And then he sat up. So suddenly that I had to scramble to my knees. I just avoided a broken nose and another mouthful of hair.
Rev cupped my cheeks, soft fingers caressing my jaw.
“Do you mean it?” he whispered, dark eyes staring deep into my soul, sparking a fire that warmed the cavern beneath my ribs.
Desperation laced his hopeful expression; he wanted—no, heneeded—my words to be true. The fact that he doubted me broke my heart for him, because he deserved so much more. Someone who would never make him feel like he had to face the world on his own.
Iwanted to be that person.
My hands rested on top of his, keeping him right where he was. He pressed his legs against my thighs, and his tail curled around my forearm, as though he needed to touch every part of me to know this was real.
I’d reassure him. Every damn day if he’d let me.
But now felt like the perfect time to begin.
“Every word, baby.”
He tightened his hold on my face and pulled hard enough that we ended up a tangle of limbs on the bed. He wheezed as I landed on him, but it didn’t stop him from smashing his mouth to mine.
We met in a clash of teeth and lips, pure passion and fire. The kiss consumed me, and I didn’t know where Rev ended and I began. It felt like he was devouring me, taking pieces of me for himself, locking them away behind his walls.
I’d give him every one of my breaths if it made him fucking smile.
He wrapped his arms around my neck, clinging to me, nails digging into my skin. I gripped his hips, feeling the sharpness of his bones below his skin.
He was slim, dainty, almost fragile in appearance. But appearances could be deceiving. Rev was as nimble in life as he was behind the wheel, and I knew he could tackle me to the bed in an instant if he wanted.
He was an enigma, surprising everyone he met.
I just hoped he would never stop surprising me too.
Sliding my hands under his T-shirt, I dragged it up his body to reveal his pearlescent torso. When I pulled back to remove the offending material, Rev chased my lips with a whine. His lips were swollen, eyes burning with lust. The marks on his skin pulsed, and I chuckled.
“Feeling needy, baby?”
“Yes,” he said on an exhale. “Kai, I-I want you to . . . I want . . .”
I pressed my forehead against his, the tips of our noses squished together. “What do you want, Rev?”
I had a feeling, but I needed him to say it.
“I want you to fuck me.”
The words echoed through my head on repeat.
Rev wanted meto fuck him.
He wantedmeto be his first.
I searched his face for any evidence of doubt. “Are you sure?”
He released my shoulders to grab the hem of his T-shirt, tugging it over his head. “I want you, Kai. So take me.”
He didn’t have to ask twice.
I trailed kisses along Rev’s jaw, dropping to his neck, his chest, and his stomach. I dragged his bottoms as far down as I could, sitting up to pull them the rest of the way off. Rev laughed as I tossed them over my shoulder, uncaring where they landed.
They could’ve gone straight out the window for all I cared, because he was bare beneath me, and my mouth was watering for a taste .
