“It recognizes your voice and your face. How else do you think the door opened for you?”
She beams a smile that cuts through the dark. “Lights on, please.”
I squeeze my eyes shut in anticipation, but Lily’s body jolts when every light in the apartment switches on. As I adjust to the brightness, I see Lily blinking away the sting in her eyes.
“Lights off,” I say, and the apartment plunges back into complete darkness. “And that’s enough fun with my virtual assistant. You’ve kept me waiting long enough, Lily.”
Ignoring the ghostly impressions of the harsh light, I move towards my bedroom door. I’m confident of where I’m going, butI hold out a hand in front of me because I have my most prized possession in my arms and I’m not taking any chances.
My bedroom door closes softly behind us as I kneel onto the mattress and let Lily unhook herself from me. We’re both on our knees, facing each other. For now, we don’t touch.
“This is where you’ll be sleeping from now on,” I say.
The mattress rocks slightly with Lily’s movements. I can hear the soft wisp of fabric against skin. “Sleeping?” she asks as something drops onto the floor. Her bra.
Damn, I love how nothing I say fazes this woman. “Once I’ve tired you out.”
I suck in a breath as she traces a finger along the waistband of my boxers. My cock is twitching before her fingers find me. “You can try.”
As our bodies slam together, all pretense of restraint is gone. My tongue plunders her mouth as Lily tugs my hair. She climbs up my torso, her legs wrapping around me again as I drop forward and pin her to the bed. My kisses move to her neck, and my hands move to tug off her panties, forcing her to unhook her legs from my waist.
While she’s pulling my boxers down over my ass, I take one of her pebbled nipples in my mouth and I suck hard enough to make her cry out. In our frenzy, our underwear tangles at our ankles and we both kick and twist to free ourselves.
And then her legs are back around me, holding me in a vice and stopping me from moving my mouth lower.
“I need you inside me, Mace. Right now,” she gasps. “Please. You have to fuck me before I self-combust.”
She’s not the only one, and it’s going to take all my self-control to hold back long enough to satisfy my girl first. As I rear up over Lily’s body, she wraps her hand around my cock. My balls contract as she glides my tip through the seam of her pussy.Wet heat greets me and my legs tremble as I dampen down the fire in my belly before it can consume me.
“Mace,” she sighs and that’s almost my undoing. She knows my name. I’m someone’s prize.
Lily grinds her clit against my crown before gliding my cock downwards. Her breath stutters as she seats me at her entrance.
“You need to move your hand away, Slayer, or I’m going to crush it,” I warn.
And the second her hand moves, I thrust deep inside her, burying myself to the hilt and forcing the air from her lungs. Her fingers dig into my back as I ride her hard and fast. I flay her body with mine, plunging into her again and again. With each thrust, Lily releases a harsh gasp. She lifts her hips to meet mine and her pussy spasms around my cock.
I can’t see her face, but the way she hums, I can imagine those pretty lips pressed tight in concentration as she chases her orgasm.
“Come for me, Lily,” I beg because when she sails over that precipice, I’ll be right there with her. Where she goes, I’m always going to follow.
I lean in to kiss her and she moans into my mouth while I continue to pound into her. She’s close, but not as close as me. I grip her hips and I spin us, so Lily’s on top. Her hands press against my chest as she takes control, her hips coming down and her legs spreading out behind her as she finds the friction she needs.
“I need…”
“Tell me what you need, Lily.”
There’s a hint of laughter in the next breath she takes. “Neo, lights on low in Mace’s bedroom.”
Soft light glows from the two bedside lamps, illuminating Lily’s flushed face above mine.
“I need to see you,” she says.
My heart wants to explode as she cups my face in her hand. She looks at me like no one has ever looked at me before. There’s need and desire, but there’s something deeper.
“I love you, Mace Griffin.”
I bite down on my lip and go to turn my face away, but her hands force me to stay with her as she slides up and down my shaft.
