My heart leaps into a gallop as fuzzy electricity hums beneath my skin. Every puff of his breath on my neck activates my hormones, and those unruly rascals are in control as I lift my leg and drop it back over the top of his thigh, then rock back against his hard cock. “It’s not my fault.”
“Behave, princess,” he warns with a delicious growl that’s like fuel to my needy body.
“Tell your dick to behave.” My voice is breathy, and my attempt at snapping back sounds more like teasing.
Eli groans as if his next words pain him to say. “Please don’t talk about my dick right now.”
“But I kind of like talking about your dick.” His cock likes it too as it twitches behind me.
“You are officially banned from saying the word ‘dick’.” He glides his hand up and down my thigh, pushing his shirt higher with every pass.
Arousal gathers between my legs, and without underwear to protect me, it drips down the crease of my thighs.
“Can I say ‘cock’?” I ask with a moan as we grind against each other.
“No. No cock talk,” he grumbles, making me giggle like a schoolgirl. “Fuck. No laughing either.”
“Got it. No cock talk. And no laughing. Anything else?” I roll over to face him and switch the leg draping over his hip. My shirt rides up higher, giving him a peek of the top of my pussy.
Eli’s gaze dips between my legs. “You’re going to be the death of me, princess.” When he lifts his hooded eyes to mine, they glow with lust and possession.
I cup his scruffy cheek and give him a peck on the lips. “What a way to go, though, don’t you think?”
A smirk pulls up his lips as he agrees. “Yeah, princess. I do.”
“Want to try right now?” I punctuate my question with a swivel of my hips, grinding my wet pussy over his covered cock, soaking the fabric between us.
He brings his mouth to mine in a tender, all-lip kiss. Before, the idea of kissing someone with morning breath would turn me off, but everything about Eli has the opposite effect.
He kisses me a little longer before putting space between us. “Let me see your back.”
I bristle at his tone, but there is no stopping Eli when he wants something. It’s a quality I usually find super-hot, but right now, not so much.
He lifts onto his elbow and drags his shirt over my ass. He peers down at my backside and hisses as he takes in the bruising that still covers my butt cheeks and lower back. “Fuck, Callie, baby. You’re still so bruised.” He shakes his head and falls onto his back, taking his heat and his hard cock with him. “It’s not happening. I need you to rest.”
“It doesn’t hurt.” I try placating him, but Eli has already decided.
“Nope.” Eli untangles me from his body and slides out of bed. He searches for his clothes. “You mean too much to me, and if I hurt you, I’d never forgive myself.”
My tummy bubbles in delight at his confession, but the horny vixen in me wants Eli to fuck me already. It’s been weeks of hot and cold between us, not counting the years prior. Plus, I haven’t had sex in so long, my hymen has probably grown back.
I pop up onto my knees. “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m fine. Come back to bed.”
He slides on his slacks and glares at me as if I’m an errant child. Without taking his eyes off me, he buttons his pants and slides the zipper, making his point clear. “Calliope.”
“Elijiah.” I place my hands on my hips, lifting the shirt high on my thighs, refusing to back down while tempting him with my body.
He shakes his head again, and I’m afraid it might fall off his neck if he keeps it up. “It’s not happening. I’m going to get us breakfast, and when I return, you better have some damn clothes on.” Eli tugs at his hair, cursing under his breath in frustration as he rushes out the door, leaving me frozen on the bed until the front door slams in the distance.
That man does not know the lengths I will go through to get him to break.
I reach for the burner phone on the bedside table and text my new friends on a group chat.
Callie: S.O.S. Operation: Seduce Eli is in full force. HELP!
Scarlett: Hell yes! I am loving this *fist emoji*
Emery: *laughing emoji* Poor E has no idea what’s in store for him.
