“What? I prefer to sleep this way. I’m hot natured.” She sauntered to the bed, swaying her hips. Drake could barely breathe. The vision of her was unlike anything he’d encountered. Her long black hair flowed behind her. The sultry glint in her eyes told him she wanted more than a late-night cuddle. As she crawled into bed beside him, her breast brushed against his arm.
“Good night, Drake.”
Emersyn flicked the lights off, bathing the room in darkness. The only light was from the wisps of moonlight penetrating through the trees outside. The soft yellow light covered her flawless skin in a ethereal glow, sending a bolt of longing straight to his dick.
Drake rolled his body, pinning her beneath him.
“Did you really think I’d be able to lay here beside you, with your tantalizing skin touching mine?”
He pressed his mouth to hers, their lips melding together as one. Their bodies fused to one another as Drake ground the evidence of his arousal into her center. Emersyn moaned, breathing out her pleasure as he pressed against her.
“Please…” she moaned.
“Please what, Emersyn?”
“I need you, Drake.”
“Need me to do what, baby?”
“Bury your dick inside me.”
Drake leaned up on his knees and slipped his boxers off. His cock bounced against his belly, precum coating the tip.
He fisted his erection in the palm of his hand and jerked himself as he pressed his thumb to her clit. She responded with a jerk, thrusting her body upwards.
“You like that?”
“Stop teasing and put your cock inside me already. I need you to fuck me now, Drake.” Emersyn spread her legs, beckoning him to bury himself inside her.
Drake leaned over, pressing his lips to hers as he lined his cock against her wet folds. Emersyn responded by wrapping her legs around him and pulling him into her. His dick speared her center, slipping between her lips and burrowing inside her womb.
Drake moaned, resting his head against hers, “God damn you feel like heaven.”
He began to pump and thrust. Pistoning his cock into the depths of her womanhood. She met him thrust for thrust, arching her spine. Drake rotated his hips, reaching for that sacred spot deep inside her. He fucked her with abandon, desperate to send her over the edge.
He could tell the moment she was close. Her walls tightened, signaling the onslaught of her orgasm. Drake held her wrists above her head and pounded into her, marking her as his. Emersyn cried out, her release clenching around his cock. Drake grunted, pressing his hips into her, deepening his thrust as his balls tightened. His release burst from him, like a dam splitting and cracking, sending his seed deep into her cavern. His come finally stopped pouring out of him, allowing him to roll onto the bed beside her. He kissed her hard, tugging her body flush against his.
“I love you, Emersyn.”
“I love you, too,” she mumbled, sleep already claiming her exhausted body.
Drake smiled, pressing a final kiss to her brow. He snuggled her closer, unwilling to let go of her body even for a minute.
The news of Sarifena had affected her. He could see the devastation in her body language. But beneath that he saw the glimmer of curiosity in her eyes.
No matter what, he’d be there for her. Drake feared this was just the beginning of the fallout. He only wished he had some insight into what other secrets were lurking in the dark. His instinct was to protect her at all costs, yet, this unknown foe made it nearly impossible.
And that scared him more than any secret could.
Chapter 20
The morning light stretched across Emersyn’s bare skin. Drake laid on his side, watching her sleep. He was worried about her. Glancing at the nightstand, he reached for the leather journal. A simple thing, yet… it had upended everything she’d believed.
Drake flicked the leather open, fingering the pages, he began to read over the words. It was part of the puzzle… but how, he had no idea.
“What are you doing?” Emersyn’s voice startled him, causing him to drop the journal.
“Sorry… I was curious to see it for myself.” He closed the pages and laid the bound lies on the bed.
