“You know I’ll win. My hole is fucking phenomenal,” I say and then point to the bed, and Sem moves toward it. “And when I win, I pick the color. No complaining.”
* * *
I lie on Sem’s naked chest and move the small brush over his blunt thumbnail. Cherry red. Looks absurd on him. But he’s letting me do it anyways.
“You will lookso prettywhen I’m done with you,” I say and smile up at Sem, whose eyes are closed.
“I never look pretty,” he grumbles, and I snicker. He peeks out of one eye at me as I blow onto his wet nails.
“You looked pretty when you came earlier,” I tease, and he frowns.
“Shut up. If anyone’s pretty when they come, it’s you.”
My cheeks pinken at that, and I lift up his other hand, getting to work on painting those nails.
“You know, you’re the first person to tell me I’m pretty.”
I don’t know why I blurted that out, but I’m just going to go with it.
His eyebrows rise at that bit of info. “That can’t be true. Just look at you.”
“Oh, well, I’ve gotten cute, sweet, tiny, but never pretty.” I swipe the last bit of color on his nails and blow on them. “So, you’re my first.”
“Well, fuck everyone else. You are. Just stating the truth,” he sighs, reaching up and tracing the shell of my ear and then resting his hand back on the mattress. We don’t really touch. That’s not our thing.
“My dad would die if he heard you call me that. He’s so disappointed that I didn’t turn out like my brothers. He’s embarrassed by me. I’m much too feminine for him. He told me that way too often to believe he’s just kidding.”
“Fuck him.”
“Not quite that simple, but he’dloveyou. All masculine. Tall. Athletic. A real man’s man.”
Sem leans up on his elbows and meets my eyes. “How about I kill him, hm? Shut him up for good.”
“Jesus, Sem,” I chuckle nervously. “I don’t want him todie.”
Sem shrugs and then lays his head back, and I wonder if he’s serious for a moment. And then remember that he has a wide range of explosives and guns, and I’m pretty sure he could bury a body and get away with it.
“Seriously, Sem. Do not kill my parents. Or my brothers. Or anyone, really.”
Sem huffs and looks put out, “Whatever you want.”
And despite being a little concerned at how easy he said he’d end someone’s life, I feel something blossom within my chest.He’d kill for me.How many people could say that about someone they know?
Apparently, I’m a psychopath because that turns me on a little bit.
I tamp that weird feeling down and move off Sem, slipping under the covers. I pull them up to my chin and force myself to stay on my side of the bed. Because for some reason, cuddling up against him is much too tempting.
“You can leave when you’re ready,” I say softly, but Sem’s chest is moving up and down rhythmically, and instead of waking him up, I just turn on my side and close my eyes.
CHAPTERFIVE
When I wake up, Sem’s gone. The sheets are cold are to the touch, and I feel a hint of disappointment. I roll on my stomach and wince as my ass twinges from the fucking I took yesterday. That position was hot, but damn he went deep when he was inside of me.
And he took his goddamn time too. Sem seems to like to do everything fast and furiousexceptwhen it comes to sex. Then he moves like he has all the time in the world. It’s almost…as if he’s memorizing it.
My cock twitches beneath me, and I turn over onto my back, conjuring up images from last night. How he grabbed onto my thigh and lifted it as he tunneled inside of me, his fingers flexing against the skin of my hips. How he buried his face in my neck as he rutted in and out of me, his groans vibrating throughout my body.
How he said, “So fucking pretty,” as I came onto the sheets with a gasp.
