“Baby, I’m happy to negotiate under duress with you anytime.”
“I’ll take that under advisement for future scenarios.” She licked her lips.
A weight settled in my chest.Future.
“Since you don’t have any classes today, I thought if you didn’t have to work we could swing by later this evening. Sully had to close up shop for a few hours, but he’s there most evenings. Before then, we could go somewhere that I could go over the basics with you.”
Without warning, she launched herself at me, clinging on like a spider monkey, hands clasped behind my neck and legs wrapped around my waist. “Thank you, thank you, Ben.” She gave me a sweet peck on the lips.
I tucked her head under my chin. “You’re welcome.”
“I think this should be my main source of transportation from now on. Wouldn’t you agree?”
The soft cheeks of her ass were in my hands. I squeezed them. “Yeah, I think I could get used to this.”
She swatted my shoulder. “Perv.”
“Temptress.”
Her body was slowly slipping down mine until the slits of her fold brushed the tip of me. “The twenty-four hours of the bet aren’t up yet. It’d be a shame to not explore the full capabilities of these multiple shower heads, wouldn’t you say.” She used her hands behind my neck as an anchor to pull herself up. Aurora angled her pelvis and, ever so slowly, lowered herself onto me.
She felt fucking exquisite.
“Condom?” I managed to choke out.
“I’m on the pill. We’re good.”
“I’m clean,” I confirmed. Angels couldn’t exactly get their blood checked at the hospital. Still, there were enough fallen angels that the black market, fuelled by demons and their nefarious desires, crafted tonics and ways to detect abnormalities in an angel’s body. They didn’t come close to Aurora’s capabilities, but it did the job. Though they charged you up the ass for it.
“I’ve never had anything else between me and a partner,” she confessed.
“Good,” I said smugly. The thought of someone else experiencing being bare inside her had me curling my fingers into a fist. “No one else. Only me.”
“Only you,” she moaned.
I carried her underneath the shower head so the hard water was falling against her chest. Her nipples were hard as they brushed my chest, as she did her best to move with me.
I lifted her hips to match each of my thrusts.
“You’re going to ruin me,” I said into the crevice of her neck. And it was the truth. After being gone from her for only a few hours, I didn’t want to admit I missed her. That, more than anything, scared me. Aurora James had staked her claim, and I wasn’t sure I could or wanted to resist it. Don’t know that I could.
“Good,” she repeated back to me.
As she was reaching her climax, she sucked on my neck. Leaving a mark the same way I had on her.
I walked her into the walls as I spilled into her.
As the water continued rushing down, it felt like I could finally breathe.

I had dropped Aurora off in Victor’s capable care. Initially, I had planned to take her somewhere remote, but the more I thought about it, it seemed better to get her accosted to the basics in the gym, and then we could work towards moving our lessons to somewhere more private.
Victor had offered to drop Aurora off at the gym on the way home. It gave me some time to do more digging on the whereabouts of her necklace. Tomorrow night, I planned on visiting The Sublime Nocturne, but in the bright light of day, my options were limited.
I retraced my previous steps and even checked ACU’s lost and found, but nothing.
My gut pushed the idea that The Sublime Nocturne would have more information. It better, or else Michael was going to have my hide. Until then, it seemed pointless to waste my time on efforts that kept permitting fruitless results.
