Page 40 of Elemental Love
Dominic propped himself on his elbows and drooled at the sight of Evrain’s muscles tensing and relaxing beneath smooth skin. His expression must have betrayed him because Evrain grinned.
“You’ll have to give me a few minutes. Then I’ll treat you to a nice morning fucking.”
“No! That’s not… I mean, it would be lovely, but…” Dominic ran out of words as arousal and panic fought for space in his brain.
“Are you feeling a little tender, my love?” There was absolutely no sympathy in Evrain’s voice, he just sounded really pleasedwith himself, so as Dominic swung himself out of bed he grabbed a pillow and whacked Evrain with it. Muffled laughter came from beneath the pillow.
“I already came. And you should not be so happy that you gave me ass ache.”
Evrain tossed the pillow away. “Sucking me off made you come?”
Dominic nodded, embarrassed.
“That’s quite a compliment.” Evrain pulled him down into a hug, then rolled them over so Dominic was pinned beneath him.
Dominic shivered.
“You love being held down, don’t you?”
Dominic’s face got so hot he thought he probably resembled a tomato.
“Hey.” Evrain stroked his cheek. “That’s nothing to be ashamed of. I love holding you down, so we’re the perfect pair, aren’t we?” He didn’t wait for an answer, just ravished Dominic’s mouth with a kiss. Dominic craved oxygen by the time they parted. His stomach growled again.
“Either there’s a dog in the room, or you need feeding,” Evrain said, rolling off him.
“I’m starving,” Dominic admitted. “But let me get breakfast. I brought a few supplies back from my place yesterday so we don’t have to suffer watery oatmeal again.”
“Porridge. It’s called porridge,” Evrain said.
Dominic rolled his eyes. “As long as I don’t have to eat it again, I don’t care what you want to call it.” He climbed out of bed. The clothes he’d worn the previous day were clean enough to wear, if a bit crumpled. He’d not been in them long enough to get them dirty. Aware of Evrain watching him, he dressed quickly.
“You’re still shy, even after last night,” Evrain stated. “There’s no need to be.”
Dominic shrugged. “It’s a bit chilly to stand around naked.”
“If I had my way, I’d keep you naked all the time. I’m sure we could crank the heat up in here a bit more, what do you think?”
“I think I’m going to cook breakfast.” Dominic ran.
Along with the change of clothes he’d brought back from home, he’d also grabbed bread, butter, eggs and milk as well as the coffee they’d had the previous day. When his stomach complained yet again on the way down the stairs he was really glad he’d spent those extra minutes in doing so. The coffee was a lifesaver. Aggie’s herbal tea was fine, in small doses, but his caffeine addiction needed feeding first thing in the morning, and after Evrain’s reaction the previous day, Dominic guessed he was also an addict.
Dominic soon had an aromatic brew going, slices of bread in the toaster and beaten eggs in a pan. Evrain appeared after a few minutes. He must have taken a quick shower because his hair was damp. He sat at the table, his expression expectant. “The smells of cooking tempted me down.”
“The coffee’s nearly ready,” Dominic said.
“Don’t torture me with promises, hand it over.”
Dominic scowled but couldn’t hold onto the expression. He smiled. He poured two mugs and handed one over. “So impatient.”
Ten minutes later, he placed a plate piled with scrambled eggs and hot buttered toast in front of Evrain. Dominic put his own plate down, then sat carefully. He wished he had a cushion. Evrain just raised an eyebrow in amusement, but said nothing.
“Do you want me to help you move some more things today? I only have one job booked and that’s not until late afternoon,” Dominic asked between mouthfuls of eggs.
“We never did get around to it yesterday, did we? Still, we were occupied with very important business, on a subject we’ll need to get back to as soon as possible.” Evrain leered in Dominic’s direction.
“You’re incorrigible. Try to keep your mind on moving.” Dominic crunched on a crispy piece of toast.
“I prefer insatiable and it’s your fault.”
