“Did you like that?” he asks as he draws back, framing my face with his hands.
I nod, leaning into his touch like I’ll never get enough. “I loved it. Thank you.”
“Of course.” He kisses me again. “You did so well, red.”
Then he helps me rearrange my clothes before he scoops me up into his arms. And despite my protests that I’m too heavy, he carries me all the way back to the car, not even seeming to break a sweat.
Chapter 40
Lily
A hot bath after all of that is exactly what I need, and I moan with pleasure as I sink into the water.
That sex with Miles was amazing. I hope we get to do it again sometime. But I definitely need some hot water to sort out my aches so that I’m not uncomfortable the next day. The sex was athletic for sure.
There’s a knock at the bathroom door, and I look over as I call out, “Come in!”
Knox enters. He has a fond, soft look in his eyes, and I smile at him as our gazes meet. He closes the door behind him and comes over to sit on the edge of the tub.
“How are you feeling?” he asks.
I grin, settling a little deeper into the water as I look up at him, my wet hair spreading softly around my shoulders. “Great.”
“You have…” He smirks, leaning in to pull a little something out of my hair. A flush rises up on my face as I realize it’s a small twig.
I laugh as he puts the twig into the trash. “Oh. Whoops.”
His deep chuckle washes over me, even warmer and more soothing than the water. “I take it that you and Miles had fun?”
“Yeah, we did. He… gave me a chance to find out something new about myself. To explore something I never would’ve been brave enough to try before.”
His fingertips trail through the water, sliding through the strands of my damp hair and over my skin. “I think you’ve always been braver than you realized. Even before you met us.”
“Maybe.” I shrug. “But I’m so grateful I found you all. I feel like I can be the best version of myself with you guys. Like this is who I’m meant to be. Does that make sense?”
Knox’s broad chest rises and falls as he takes a deep breath. “It makes perfect sense.”
He settles onto the floor beside the tub, kneeling beside it. Using his large hands, he pours water over my hair, wetting the strands completely. Then he reaches for the shampoo, taking his time massaging it into my scalp and hair. I close my eyes, moaning appreciatively at the feel of his strong fingers making circles over my scalp.
I lose track of time, almost lost in a trance from how soothing it feels, and Knox carefully pours water over my head to rinse the suds out, holding one hand at my forehead to keep any soap from getting in my eyes.
By the time he’s done, the water is starting to turn a bit tepid. I expect him to offer me his hand to help me up, but instead he reaches down and scoops me up, lifting me out completely and then setting me on my feet. He really is so strong, and so much taller than I am. I can feel how easy it is for him to pick up, and it makes me shiver every time.
Knox grabs a towel and helps me to dry off, his movements confident and comforting. When I’m fully dry, he tosses away the towel, but he doesn’t get up yet. He’s still kneeling in front of me, and as if he can’t resist, he reaches out to touch me, his hands slowly skating over my body.
“Before I met you and your pack, no man had ever gotten on his knees for me,” I whisper quietly.
He chuckles, reaching up to tweak my nipples. “I love to get on my knees for you, angel. Not just so that I can take care of you. But so that I can worship you too.”
As if to prove exactly what he means, he leans closer and presses a kiss to my rounded belly. Then he trails his lips downward, nipping and licking and kissing until his tongue finds my clit. I moan, letting my head fall back as my hands come to rest on his shaggy dark hair.
“Taste so good,” he murmurs, almost like he’s talking to himself. His tongue explores my folds as I spread my legs wider to give him more room to maneuver, then he slips a hand between my thighs.
He fucks me with his fingers while he eats me out, making my legs shake, and when he reaches around to delve between my ass cheeks with his other hand, I let out a yelp of surprise. The sound quickly morphs into a groan of pleasure as he presses a finger into my back hole, fucking me there too.
“You like having both of your holes filled, don’t you?” he murmurs roughly, his tongue still working my clit.
“Yes… fuck…”
