Mercy
The delicious pressof Gideon’s weight on me was turning everything around me hazy. All I could see and feel was him and his wicked, wicked tongue. He had managed to discover a few spots that made me go almost insane, and he wasn’t even inside of me yet…Heck, we hadn’t even taken our clothes off.
He swiped his tongue over my nipple, setting off an electric jolt through my nerves. But the intensity in his expression when he glanced up at me, a thin but pleased smile playing with his lips, made something in me twist.
I didn’t know what this meant to him. I didn’t know what I’d want it to mean to me beyond this moment. And there were a whole lot of things he didn’t know that maybe he should.
He lowered his head again, and I caught him with a hand on his chest. “Wait.”
He stopped, braced over me, and I regretted the loss of his touch almost immediately. Something shuttered behind his gray eyes that had gleamed with so much passion a second ago. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing,” I said quickly. Gideon had said he hadn’t really wanted anyone like this before, and having seen his normal behavior, it didn’t surprise me to know he hadn’t exactly been a ladies man in the past. I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t enjoying every second of this. “I just—I want to make sure we’re on the same page.”
He cocked an eyebrow. “How so?”
“I…” His analytical gaze made me want to look away, but I didn’t let myself. “This is good. Really good. Just so we’re clear. But—I’m not sure how much you’ve realized—I’ve been with Kaige and Wylder. And with Rowan, a long time ago. I might want one… or more… of them again. I’m not sure where we’re going with this, but I’m not ready to tie myself down to anyone. I just thought I should say that before we go any further.”
Maybe he’d think it was weird that I’d found myself drawn to all four of them. Maybe it was weird. I didn’t know how I’d come to feel so connected to this tight-knit group, but I did. However weird it might seem, I didn’t want to give them up. I belonged with them now, no matter what Wylder said or did to try to convince me otherwise.
Gideon blinked at me. There was a moment when I thought he might pull back and end the whole thing. But then his smile came back, curving wider this time. He brushed his fingers over my cheek in an unexpectedly tender gesture.
“That’s why I like you,” he said. “You say what you feel and what you mean, you don’t mince words about it, but you’ve got your principles too. I’m not sure where we’re going either. I don’t think I’d want to tie you down. Well, not that way.” The sly gleam that came into his eyes made me instantly twice as wet. “All I’m sure about is that I want to keep going right now.”
A slightly giddy giggle tumbled out of me. “Well, full speed ahead, then.”
He reached for me, and I pushed myself upward to meet him halfway with a kiss. I sucked on his lower lip, taking the metal ring in my mouth before I swirled my tongue around it.
Gideon’s breath hitched. He grabbed the back of my hair urgently as he fused his lips back on mine. He might not have the overt physical power the other guys did, but he sure knew how to take what he wanted, and it was hot as hell.
He broke from the kiss to pull off my top. My nipples puckered in the air conditioned coolness of the room, stiffening more under Gideon’s hungry gaze. Little thrills went down my body as he rolled one nipple between his fingers before bending down to take the other in his mouth. He sucked on my tits softly at first before biting down hard enough to provoke a gasp.
His other hand dipped inside my pajama shorts, stroking over my pussy and taking it from hot to scorching. My elbows wobbled, and Gideon took the opportunity to press me back down into the mattress. He put his legs on either side of me to hold me there firmly.
“Stop squirming,” he murmured. “Let me worship you.”
How could I say no when he was so good at it? He seemed to know which spots would make me keen and which ones would make me whimper.
He kissed a trail down the valley of my breasts, squeezing my tits together and offering equal attention to both sides, before continuing his path down to my belly. When he flicked his tongue inside my belly button, I almost arched right off the bed. He chuckled, his hot breath sending another flare through my torso.
His fingers slipped beneath my shorts again, and he let out a sound that was strained but approving. “You’re so wet for me.” His low voice and something in his expression, so awed and pleased, just made me gush even more.
He pushed his middle finger inside me, exploring me with the same certainty as when he’d been kissing me all over. “Don’t move,” he warned me again.
“Ummm,” I said, unable to come up with anything more coherent.
As his finger curled into my sex, another wordless noise of approval tumbled out of me. He eased a second finger in and flicked his thumb against my swollen clit. While he continued to fuck me with his fingers, my body rocked against him to bring myself more relief.
Then he withdrew farther down the bed, yanking my pajama shorts off in one swift motion. He eyed my throbbing sex hungrily. His tongue flicked over his lip ring, and I quivered at the thought of it brushing against my clit.
As if sensing that thought, he dove down. In an instant, his tongue was ravaging my clit before finding its way to my slit and sucking on it. I groaned as pleasure built inside me, clutching at the bedsheets to hold myself in place.
Gideon was eager—urgent even—in his ministrations. His tongue dipped right inside my cunt. He swirled it around the top of my slit right to my bottom, almost brushing against my asshole. The slight chill of the metal lip ring against my wet pussy ignited a friction that left me gasping, heightening all the sensations in me.
The pressure was slowly rising through me, pushing me to the edge of a precipice that made my toes curl up. Gideon didn’t stop—he didn’t slow down one bit as his tongue continued to work on my cunt, fucking it fast before twirling around and then repeating the motion. My body buckled as the wave of pleasure crested, threatening to drown me.
I looked down hazily to see Gideon’s stark blue hair bobbing as he feasted on my cunt. The sight made me moan. He looked up and met my gaze even as he continued to loll his tongue around, making little sounds of approval as he did so. Lust shone in his eyes.
