My grin slowly grew.
This wasn’t a commitment. This wasn’t forever. If Vengeance, Inc.’s HR department ever heard about this, I’d likely lose my contract. But here and now, we had each other.
“Six times, huh?”
One of his hands rose to cup my breast, his thumb brushing against the scar along the side, while the other tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “At least.”
The realization that he’d hadgoalswhen it came to our lovemaking…wow. My smile was probably stupid looking by this point, but I didn’t care. “Well, the night doesn’t have to be over. I could ask my boss if I could start work a little later tomorrow, maybe sleep in.”
He hummed and his hand moved to cup the back of my head, his fingers caressing my scalp. “I think your boss would be perfectly fine with that. He’s very goal-oriented and doesn’t like to fail.”
“Abydos…” When I leaned in to brush a kiss across his lips, I pulled off his cock and felt a sudden rush of his spicy-scented cum flood from inside me. “This wasnota failure.”
One of his brows twitched. “An opportunity for improvement, then.”
“Is that…” I sniffed. “Is thatcinnamon? Does your cum smell like cinnamon?”
“It tastes like it too, I’ve been told.”
“Isthatwhy my cinnamon-scented candle disappeared?”
Abydos’s nose wrinkled almost adorably. “And that plug-in thing you put in the foyer.”
Laughing, I climbed from his lap, feeling his seed dripping down my legs as I took his hands and pulled. “Come on then. We need to get you out of this suit before it’s ruined, and then I’m going to experiment.”
“With me?” There was amusement in his voice as he kicked off his trousers.
“Six times!” I laughed, my fingers twined in his, tugging him closer. “We’d better get started.”
His lips curled into a smile as he gathered me in his arms. “Trick or treat,” he murmured. “Because you’re getting both.”
Chapter Ten
Abydos
I wokewith a human in my bed.
In myarms.
And I was surprised how strange itdidn’tfeel. Perhaps it was because of what we’d shared last night. And then again in the shower. And in the early hours of the morning.
Unable to help myself, I nuzzled my nose into Riven’s hair, pulling her flush against me. She was better than any pillow—softer, better smelling. Last night I’d marked her with my scent, and myKteerpreened happily.
Not sated, but satisfied.
My little human had met me nose-to-nose, takingallof me, and I don’t think I’d ever forget those sexy little determined noises she’d made as she slowly sank on top of my cock. Riven was so much smaller than me, I still couldn’t believe she’d taken me on her first try.
And while, in the past, I hadn’t been interested intrainingorstretchingany of my lovers, last night when she’d climbed into my lap and I smelled her arousal, I’d known I’d do it for her. I’d been willing to exercise patience if it meant I could have her…but I didn’t have to.
My lips brushed against her scalp.
Gods below, ahuman. Not only had I fucked a human, but I’d taken her back to my bed. I’d never done that before—my liaisons had always been in rented rooms or in my office. But if I hadn’t taken her to bed, I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself at eleven. Or at two in the morning. Or in the shower.
This isn’t fucking.
The thought came through so suddenly, so clearly, that I stiffened, and Riven made a little noise of disapproval and wriggled closer, which allowed my hand to cup her breast.
No, this hadn’t been fucking.
