Page 69 of Iris' Lying Eyes

My skin tingles with fire and biting my lip, I turn my head away, but he ignores my chilly response and drops his head to my breasts.

“B,” I say softly, arching into him when his lips envelop a hard peak. He raises his black eyes to mine and bites down gently.

Goosebumps erupt on my skin, and I grab his head, holding him where I need him. But he pulls away with a husky chuckle, and I whimper until he drops to his knees on the floor and grabs my pants, pulling them roughly from my legs.

I push them off with my feet and hold my breath as he runs his nose through my folds.

“Mm,” he rumbles, and I shiver. Laving me with his tongue, he swipes up and then down before thrusting inside.

“Fuck, yes,” I moan, bowing off the bed.

With a grunt, he grabs my ass, pulling me close, and I close my eyes as pleasure rushes through me. It’s like swimming through the tide and slipping beneath the waves. I can’t fight it and it’s pulling me under.

With a low rumble, he rolls his finger between my folds, and I shout. My stomach drops. My heart jumps, and I cry out, thrusting into his face. He hums beneath his breath and the vibration sends a zing straight to my core.

“Mm,” he chuckles and the wicked purr makes me clench as need pushes me to the edge. I buck into him desperately when he wraps his lips around my clit and suckles roughly. The rasp of his tongue sings along my nerve endings racing to my core.

“B!” I cry as everything collides and I fly. The world around me spins and I convulse heavily, slamming my eyes closed as pleasure dances through me. Distantly I hear Bastion hum once more as I collapse onto the bed with a sigh.

I’m still recovering when Bastion stands, licking his lips. The sight is enough to send me right over again because he’s fucking hot. With a wicked smile, I grab my knees and spread them wide, my pulse jumping when his nostrils flare like a damn bull.

“So fucking pretty,” he husks, and I moan.

Our panting breaths fill the room as he slides inside. My orgasm from before, still fluttering in my tummy, revs back up.

“B,” I whisper, and his dilated eyes meet mine. “Fuck me hard.”

His lips curl in a smirk, and I smile before he thrusts into me, and all thought leaves my brain. His hips slap against my ass as he pumps into me with a series of grunts. His eyes roll before he slams them closed and squeezes my hips so tight, I flinch.

But I like it because it in my fucked-up psyche it means he can’t let me go. His rigid length presses against the seams of my core and I writhe beneath him, so close to that feeling only he can give me.

“So tight, baby,” he groans, lifting my legs and maneuvering deeper.

“Fuck,” I moan, and his dilated eyes meet mine. A sheen of sweat covers his head, and he drops over me, thrusting heavily.

The depth and angle rub a spot I never knew existed and I whimper, wrapping my legs around him as he pumps into me rapidly.

My stomach burns. Tingles rise in a crescendo of heat and I thrust against him with a moan.

“Fuck,” he growls as I spasm around him and his pleasure floods my womb.

He closes his eyes, and my heart fills my throat at the stark expression of pleasure on his face. I did that. Me. Fuck.

Damning the ache, I turn my head away.

It’s both painful and a relief when he slides from me and collapses to the bed but my heart still burns. And turning over, I curl into a ball, releasing a pent-up breath when he wraps me up from behind.

When I wake, Bastion is lying beside me, staring at the ceiling. Although the intimacy we shared last night was beautiful in a way I can’t describe in the clear light of day, we’re still right where we started.

He wants my secrets, and I want to be free. Nothing more, nothing less.

The problem is, the information I’ve collected over the years is dangerous, and even if John didn’t want me for his weird-ass obsession, he couldn’t afford to let me go for that reason.

He allowed me behind the curtain, a foolish act on his part, but I’m sure in his megalomania, he thought he could control me.

Now I hope he’s fucking scared.
