“Your body told me when you screamed your release.” I tugged at the restraints. “And now you won’t reciprocate. You really are a cruel bastard. I will never,ever—”
“Hermosa.” His deep voice thrummed through me. Crouching down in front of me, he palmed my thighs. Warmth raced up my legs, straight to my core. He stared at me for an eternity. “You did not ‘best orgasm’ with me?”
CHAPTER 22
“No, I didn’t!”Had that selfish, self-absorbed alien not paid attention? After everything I’d done? He was lucky I liked Pinky so much because this was officially too much. I looked into Sunny’s swirling eyes and saw… doubt. “Youfinished. Not me.”
“How is that possible?”
“Because I helped you, blessed you with my magic hands.” I tried to buck his palms off me because they felt warm and delicious on my thighs, and he was just a giant tease. “You asked me for help. I helped you. You didn’t do the same for me.” I squeezed my eyes shut, both furious and turned on. It wasn’t fair. “I literally told you. Don’t pretend like I didn’t.”
“Everything you say feels like truth. I wasn’t myself before. Had never felt like that. But I don’t… I knownothingof mating. Of pleasing.” His hands tightened, and I whimpered. “What do you need from me? Our mouths mated. Is there more?”
“Yes! That was just the appetizer.Quiero mas.”
“What is an appetizer?”
“It means it’s only a taste—a beginning. You’re a really,reallygood kisser.” I groaned and arched my back. “So good, but humans feel pleasure with other parts of their bodies. And I ache so much, it’s torture.”
“You hurt? Where?” His eyes burned. “I will do anything.Say it.”
“Unchain me, and I’ll show you.” Thank you,Dios, that he was paying attention.
His eyes narrowed, and he had an, ‘I don’t believe a word you’re saying’ look on his face.
“No, I promise. I won’t try to escape.” I bit my lip. “Too hard.”
“You will stay where I put you.”
No. Need to look for Valentina. Make sure she wasn’t here. Try to escape. Think!Can’t think.“I can’t.”
He leaned in and sniffed my collarbone, trailing his nose over my sensitive neck, the points of his teeth scraping against my skin. It felt glorious. “Then we make a deal.”
“After.” Not fair. I wasn’t in the right state of mind to negotiate. “Keep going lower.”
“I sense where you try to lead me, earther. To where your scent is ripest. Is this where you crave me?” His hands met between my thighs, gripping my sex.
“Yes.”Yes, yessss.
He ripped off my sack-dress, straight down the middle.
“For every time I ‘best orgasm’ you, you will stay. For fivesyads.”
“Days?” Think, Hera.Say something before he changes his mind.“I can promise one day per orgasm.”
“Acceptable.”
“You won’t leave me high and dry?” I held my breath, wanting so badly to believe him, to trust that he wouldn’t make me suffer.
He ran his golden tongue over his canines. “Tell me what you need. I will explore you.” His vibrant eyes zeroed in on my glistening core. “I want this.I want you.”
“Take these off.” I leaned over and presented the cuffs. “I want to show you so bad.”
He growled low. “You ask so sweetly when you are in need. Is this another trick?”
“No trick. Never,” I babbled. “Not about this. Touch me.”
He grabbed the staff from the floor and swirled his hands along the side. The electric band fell off and absorbed back into his staff. “I will start with your targets.”
