I stopped circling, pressing down hard. “You wouldn’t be telling me what to do, would you?”

Reyna tried to move her hips, but the arm I had banded around her waist wouldn’t let her move. “Think of it as a request.”

I chuckled low, sliding my fingers down to her core. Then promptly barked a curse when I felt how wet she’d grown. I gathered up some of the wetness, returning to the slow circles until I felt Reyna’s body start to tense and her moans fall to whimpers.

Then I stopped again.Thistime, Reyna struggled against me, hitting my forearm in protest. “Adrian, you’re torturing me.”

I smiled against the shell of her ear, rolling my hips into her backside. A reminder of where this was headed. “That’s kind of the point, honey.”

“Wh-what?” Reyna gasped out, still struggling towards some form of friction.

I held her tighter against me, trapping her. “You heard me.”

“Adrian,” she whined. When I didn’t move, she tried to move her own hand down to do the job, but I caught it and held it under mine against her stomach. “Please.”

“Please, what?” I punctuated the question with one slide of my fingers over her.

Reyna growled, fighting me. “I need to come. Now.”

“Huh,” I stopped again, but hovered my fingers right over her, enough that she could still feel the heat, but keeping what she really wanted just out of reach. “You do?”

Reyna nodded quickly, her breaths turned to pants. “I’m going to get you back for this.”

“I think we’ve had enough of competing with each other.”

She hummed in agreement. Then she pressed her hips up, chasing my touch. But I pulled away again. “I’ll help you, honey. But you have to do something.”

“Anything,” she gasped, right as I pressed down for one quick moment then released again.

I loosened the arm I had banded around her stomach, sliding my hand up and over her sternum to rest at the base of her neck. I swiped my thumb over her thundering pulse. “Tell me this is real.”

“It’s real,” Reyna said quickly, the words shooting from her before I’d even finished speaking. “Fuck, it’s real.”

I hadn’t prepared for what those words would do to me, because I lost my mind. Reyna’s pleasure was going to be drawn out for another minute, because I needed to hear that again while I was inside of her.

I lifted her and threw her on the bed, sending her bouncing into the center of the large mattress and staring up at me with dark, surprised eyes. I was on topof her in a flash, pinning her to the bed and hovering over her. I was beyond thinking, the only words I could speak were rough commands. “Open your legs.Now. Wrap them around me.”

Reyna listened, locking her ankles behind my back and pulling me down to her.

“Put me in, honey,” I said gruffly, rocking my hips so that my length slid over her core.Fucking hell, this was going to be rough.

Reyna’s movements were jerky, fumbling while she was locking up with built pleasure. But she wrapped her hand around me, guiding me to her entrance. The second I was notched, I slid home with one quick snap of my hips.

“Say it again,” I demanded the second we were fully locked together.

Reyna’s eyes were on where we were connected, same as mine. But at my command, she brought her hand to my jaw, forcing me to look at her. “This is real.”

“Real,” I said with the same force as a demand. My mouth clamped over hers as my hips started to roll into her, the feel of her wrapped around me more intense than anything I’d ever felt.

We attacked each other, nothing more than a mess of teeth and tongues and lips as I pressed into her over and over again until the only thing I could process was the sound of her moans in my ear and the feel of her body beneath my hands.

When the pleasure of it all started to build towards its end, hot lightning shooting down my spine, I broke the kiss to take hold of her eyes. That last moment of connection seemed to do the trick, because Reyna broke, clamping around me as her orgasm fell over herlike a wave.

She looked shocked by the force of it, her eyebrows lifting in the center and her mouth falling open with a whimper. That was the end of it for me, finding my own release and spilling inside of her with one last jerk of my hips.

It took a while, maybe minutes, for us both to calm down, our breaths still rapid as we stared at each other. I put my weight into one arm so that I could trace the perimeter of Reyna’s face with a hand, then grip it to place a long, drugging kiss on her lips.

That was all it took for me to recover, the urgent need to claim her over and over renewing with fresh fury. Reyna felt it, her eyes blinking open as blood rushed to her cheeks in a pretty shade of scarlet.
