She sat on Devil’s bed, freshly showered and wearing his T-shirt and boxers. He hadn’t been able to be in his apartment while she’d washed up. His emotions were too raw and he knew if he was alone with Ellie, he’d smother her before the doctor even had a chance to listen to her lungs. After he’d laid Ellie on his bed and given her clothes to wear—despite the fact she had her own just next door—Devil had run to the gym and beaten a punching bag with his bare fists while he waited for Dr. Layton.
But now they were alone and Devil had some things he needed to get off his chest.
“Don’t you ever do that to me again, Ellie. That’s almost three times now I’ve been afraid for your life.”
Ellie averted her eyes and played with a loose thread on his comforter. “I know, Dev. I’m sorry. I should’ve stayed home—”
He was in front of her and lifting her chin in two strides. “No, you don’t know the terror I went through when I realized you were gone. The panic that almost gave me a heart attack when we realized you were at Burgess’s. The way my heartripped openwhen the fucking roof collapsed in on that house. You don’t know—”
“I know…” Ellie’s caramel eyes widened with tears and her lip trembled as she tried to look away. “I’m sorry. I get it—”
“No, you don’t get it.” Devil tightened his fingers on her chin to keep her from looking anywhere but at the sincerity on his face. “You couldn’t because… I haven’t told you yet.”
She tilted her head in question. “Haven’t told me what?” She bit her trembling bottom lip and his desperate need for her shot straight to his cock.
Using his thumb, he tugged her lip from between her teeth and bent to meet her gaze. With one hand on either side of her hip, he caged her in before brushing his lips against hers and pulling back to look in her eyes.
“That I felt all those things because I was so scared of losing someone else I care for. Someone I love.” He cupped her jaw with one hand. “Especially before I even got the chance to tell her.”
Ellie’s breath hitched and he took the opportunity to dive in, to drink her in like the water his body was so parched for ever since that damn fire. Adrenaline still raced through him, mixing in with the relief she was safe andalive.
He threaded his fingers into her hair, loving that it was already down so he could twist the tendrils in his grasp. His other hand lifted her ass and she encircled his waist with her legs. Just like everything else about them, their bodies were already so in tune with each other that she seemed to know what he wanted before he had to ask.
With her in his arms, Devil climbed one knee after the other and laid her out on his bed, gently so she wouldn’t be jostled.
He bent to her ear and bit the lobe before growling, “I need to be inside you, Ellie. I need to feel how fucking alive you are.”
“God, yes, Dev. Please, I want you.”
Without wasting another second, he stripped her down completely, tossing the clothes to the side before doing the same with his tank top.
When she lay back against his pillow, he kneeled between her inviting legs. Ellie gulped and he grazed the column of her neck with his fingertips as she swallowed. She reached for him and he intercepted her hand with his before continuing his trail with the other to trace the valley between her breasts. They were already a warm, rosy pink from the fire and desire for him.
“Need to feel your skin against mine.” He blanketed her body with his and whispered over her lips before sucking on the plump bottom one that always drove him crazy. Dancing his tongue against hers, he swallowed her gasp as he teased her nipples into peaks with his fingers.
Leaving one last deep kiss with her lips, Devil dipped down to capture one of her pretty rosebuds in his mouth and his hands curved underneath her soft mounds.
“These…” He sucked a peak into his mouth and swirled around the bud with his tongue. When he’d earned a breathy moan, Devil flicked his tongue over the bud the same way he had her clit, and loved the way she whispered his name as he let the soft mound escape his lips. “These are the perfect size for my hands. When I see you, my fingers ache to tease them into hard diamonds.” He blew at the wet peak, playing out the fantasy he described and rolled the other between his fingers.
Pushing her breasts together until they almost touched, Devil left small nips around each bud, trading back and forth. When he released them, he continued open-mouthed kisses along the outline of her breasts. His fingers pinched her buds and she hissed his name in pleasure underneath him.
She squirmed and dug her fingers into his shoulders before wrapping her legs around him. From his position, her wet heat against his abs promised warmth as she began to undulate under him, no doubt searching for him to fill her.
Ellie trembled and moaned his name into a whine. Knowing she was ready for more, Devil gave her a final wet kiss on each nipple before spanning his hands across her torso and sucking a wet path down her body. When he got to the golden curls between her legs, he dove his nose in and breathed his own shower gel mixed with her natural essence. “I’ve been dying to taste you again.”
He dove his arms under her legs and positioned her over his shoulders before spreading her center with his fingers. “Your pretty clit’s glistening for me, baby.” Using his tongue to trace her slit, he chuckled against her as she writhed and moaned under his attention. When she almost wriggled out of his grasp, he tapped her clit with his fingers and she yelped with surprise.
“Stop moving, angel.” As if his words controlled her movements, she went limp in his hands and he smiled when her fingers held on to the bedspread for dear life. “Good girl,” he whispered and smiled against her pussy as her breaths came in pants.
“Remember, our rooms are soundproof. I want to hear you scream my name.” Devil shifted his elbows on the bed, propped her ass in his palms, and used his hands like a table for his feast. He massaged her entrance with his tongue before he pulled her hips closer to his face so he could pierce his tongue deep inside her.
Ellie called out his name and tugged at his hair in a painful grip making Devil close his eyes as his cock wept from the tip. He swiped his tongue up her center, drinking in her sweetness before laying her back down, taking a finger and pushing it into her tight channel.
“Fuck, baby. I want the first time you come tonight to be on my cock, but I want you to be ready for me more.” He caressed the inside of her pussy. “Although… you’re soaked for me, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Dev, please… I want you inside me. I’m ready.” Her breathy moan went to his cock as she lifted her head to watch him and bit her lip.
He grinned, but shook his head. “Not yet. But you will be.”
