“I’ll think about it. Remember that everything I do is to keep you safe, first and foremost.” Hunter says. “And that I’ll be the one wrapped around you soon enough.”
“Sharing is caring,” I remind him before hanging up and turning my attention to Lief. “So I’m not allowed to touch youormyself?”
He gives me a wicked smile. “Who said that?”
I lick over my bottom lip and stand on my toes. Lief kisses me, his fingers wrapping around the back of my neck as I pull myself against his hard body. I kiss him eagerly, our tongues teasing and exploring as I take whatever he’ll give.
When I realize he’s not pulling away like last time, that he’s not going to stop, considering he’s working my shorts over my hips, I draw back. Lief arches his eyebrow. “Are you playing a new game with me, Valerie?”
“Maybe.”
I swish my hips side to side, making sure that Lief gets a good view before looking over my shoulder. He hums appreciatively, just watching me as I turn and stroke the necklace Chase gave me.
“So, is there a camera across the street, or were you sitting there waiting for me to open my curtains?”
“Camera,” He says.
“Well, aren’t you lucky to get a private show?” I look him over slowly. He undoes two buttons on his shirt almost like an accident. My whole body heats in response. I still haven’t figured out why he has this effect on me every single time. “What is Hunter talking about? Keeping me safe. He’s not expecting me to like it.”
“Is that what you want to talk about now?” He undoes another two buttons.
“Maybe.”
And there goes the last one. He shrugs out of his shirt, showing off his fucking stacked body. I swear, I could get off just looking at pictures of him shirtless. I wander back over towards him like it’s accidental. His knuckles brush my ass. Electricity radiates out from that small touch.
My breath catches and I turn quickly, my back against the wall. Lief arches an eyebrow. “I don’t like keep away.”
But I remember last time. How he told me to be patient, that I could use my hands and think of him. God, that frustration he’d left rolling through me. The same frustration that Chase satisfied on his private jet.
Lief strokes through my hair and lifts my chin. His thumb strokes over my jaw, spreading heat through my body with the promise of satisfaction, but the two of us can be patient. Even if my body is begging for more than a tease.
“Wasn’t it you that said to be patient?” I ask. “You who said … use your hands and think about me? Perhaps you should put that to work.”
Lief’s hand slides down my neck and I feel the threat of his palm there. Like he’ll choke me if I keep getting sassy. As if that’s a fucking punishment. I lift my chin, giving him the green light, but he just strokes again, his eyes sharp and dangerous as he watches me.
“Little viper.”
“I think it’s your turn to wait, Viking. I know how good you are at patience,” I suggest. “I’ll even give you another kiss to make it even.”
Lief wraps his hand around my throat, not hard, but enough to remind me of how big and strong and capable he is. He rubs his thumb over my skin in a dizzyingly slow stroke that makes my knees quake.
His eyes are so hot, so demanding. Shouldn’t I be terrified considering I know what he’s capable of? So why am I hanging onto every moment, waiting for him to speak or touch me, or just rip my lingerie off me and fuck me right here?
Lief’s hair tickles my cheek as he leans forward, leaving so little space between us that I can taste the words that leave his mouth. “Or, you can have what you really want, Valerie.”
“What’s that?”
“Me.”
Fuck. Where is all my sass now?
His other hand cups my breast and teases my nipple through the lace. My thighs clench together tightly. He smirks. “You want me to use my mouth to make you come while you can’t move, you can only feel. Then my fingers, pumping deep inside you until you come again.”
Lief’s lips mold to mine for a moment, but he doesn’t let me follow him to get more. His hand tightens around my throat. “You know how hard and deep I can fuck you. You knowmostof the ways I can make you come. So you’re the one with a choice now.”
“Oh?”
“You can tell me how much you want me between your gorgeous legs, or I can drag this out, make sure you’re busy the rest of the day, so you will remember exactly how good I make you feel.”
