“If I say I want to leave?” she nuzzled his nose.
“I’ll just keep you in bed.”
A bubble of laughter escaped her chest. “And what will you do?”
He didn’t answer, just pulled her under him and caged her in his massive arms, his body hulking over her as he bent his head, kissing her neck softly, going down to the juncture of her shoulder where she was extra sensitive. “I will tempt you.”
Zephyr chuckled, holding his sides, tilting her neck back. “With your magic dick?”
She felt the left side of his mouth lift up.
Her phone buzzing from the side made her look over.
“It’s mama,” she told him, grabbing the phone and pushing him away, even though he didn’t budge.
“Zephyr,” her mama’s voice came through the speaker bright and early.
Alpha dipped his head, tugging her pajama top down with his teeth, cupping her breasts in his massive palms. What the hell was he doing?
“Good morning, mama,” Zephyr greeted her mother, her head hitting the pillow as he squeezed one breast, licking the nipple on the other with a flick of his tongue. His short scruff added to the sensation, rubbing against her sensitive skin. She pushed her fingers in his hair, keeping the phone in the other.
“Why did Mrs. Billie from your building call me and tell me you were with your sister this last week? Did you leave the husband of yours?” The hope in her mother’s voice was truly incredible. Zephyr wondered what her mother would say if she knew that husband of hers was currently feasting on her boobs like it was his sole purpose in life.
He tugged at her nipple with his teeth, and she bit her lip, keeping the sound rising in her throat trapped as she gathered a breath to answer her mother.
“No, mama,” she breathed out, trying to sound as normal as she could. “Zen just missed me. She’d not used to living alone—ah—so I decided to visit for a few days.”
“What was that?”
That was her husband, tormenting her, biting the flesh of her breasts, sucking her nipples deep into his mouth, doing wicked, wicked things with his tongue as she lay on the bed, wanton under him. Sex had always been something they’d been good at, even when he’d been holding himself back. She wondered what it would be like now when he gave it to her.
“Nothing,” she answered her mother. “Just walking the—um—dogs.”
Why were his hands going down and spreading her legs?
She stopped him, only to see a gleam in his eyes as he ripped her panties right from the center.
“Good,” her mother said, the sound of the microwave behind her. “At least you’re getting some exercise in.”
Zephyr stared up at the ceiling, her mood dampening.
“Mama, I’ll call you in a bit,” she disconnected, her jaw tight.
Alpha looked at her, his left eyebrow slashing in confusion.
Zephyr looked down at her thighs, thighs he held open, thighs with cellulite that her mother had very well-intentionally told her to tone. Usually, she didn’t let stuff like that get to her, but with the depressive, insecure episode she was rebounding from, it was easy to see the flaws and believe what everyone tried to feed her.
She tried to close her legs, only to have him hold them in place.
“Do you think I’m beautiful?” she asked him, genuinely curious about what he would say. She didn’t think she was by society’s standards, but she liked how she looked.
Alpha placed a kiss on her mound. “What happened?”
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“I think,” he settled in comfortably, tilting her hips and opening her up, watching her with that golden stare. “You’re both my rainbow and my treasure at the end of it. And nothing—” bite “—will—” lick “—ever—” suck “—compare.”
He won.
“You're the twisted beauty, I'm the beast, remember?” his hot breath washed over her. “Now let this beast eat you up.”
Alpha spread her wide, licking her from top to bottom, his tongue sinful as he lashed it against her flesh.
Zephyr lay on her back, her hands gripping his head, letting him make her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
