AIDAN
COLORBLIND - COUNTING CROWS
I should have takenthe restraints off sooner.
As I unlocked them, that was my initial thought, but Savvie didn’t give me much time for many thought processes to form. Not that she ever did.
With her thighs freed from the simple bindings and now her hands, she snatched at me, locking both her arms and legs around me before I even had the chance to rub them to ease any lingering soreness.
I smiled as she burrowed her face in my throat, her slick cunt settling against my lower abs while I placed my hand on her back and let it drift up and down her spine.
Having never permitted this kind of intimacy before Savannah, I was finding that I was a sucker for this too.
And it had nothing to do with aftercare.
Just appreciation.
The quiet relaxation of our bodies as we came back to ourselves.
As the physical and the mental halves rejoined within this, the safest of spaces.
She sighed as she sank into me, her bones melting against me, and with her mouth pressed into my throat, she mumbled, "Where did you go?"
My ease died. "You know I can’t talk about business with you," I chided, but my hand didn’t still its soothing motions.
"Why not? Maybe I’d help you make wiser decisions."
"You’d be too busy fangirling."
She pshawed. "I’ve gotten better about that."
That had me snorting. "Since when?"
"I’ve met some crime bosses. Once you meet them, you can’t get excited about regular joes."
My lips twitched at her serious tone. I didn’t even have it in me to be jealous. "You haven’t met the Bratva Pakhan yet." We’d made arrangements but he’d canceled unexpectedly.
"I’m reserving judgment on him."
I arched a brow. "Why?"
"You ever spoken about him with Inessa?"
My youngest sister-in-law and I weren’t exactly firm friends. For no other reason than the fact that she was so fucking young she made me feel ancient.
"No, little one," I said wryly, "I haven’t talked about the leader of the Bratva with my youngest sister-in-law. She’s nineteen. I have nothing in common with her."
She harrumphed. "Well, you should make time. She’s family too."
"I once asked her if she’d seenCasablanca. Know what she said?"
"No, but she’d like to visit?"
I laughed at her. "Right on the money."
"She’s kind though. Just has shitty taste in movies. She’s never seenSilence of the Lambs. Can you imagine? I asked her if she’d seenSleeping with the Enemytoo—"
"You’re so fucking funny," I joked.
