“Five,” Matt said.
I faced Nat. “This is bullshit and you know it. I was gone all day. Why are you really here?”
“He thinks you’re hiding a fey to protect your supplies.”
I rolled my eyes and waved a hand at the house.
“Go look. Make sure to check under the bed. I hear that’s where imaginary monsters like to hide.”
Without acknowledging the jab, Nat left to search the house. While he looked, I started dinner as if I wasn’t panicking on the inside. It didn’t matter if the fey were good at hiding outside. There was no way Nat would miss a huge grey man hiding in my closet, or wherever else Tor might have hidden.
The water for the rice had just started to boil when Nat returned to the kitchen. He looked seriously pissed.
“Find any fey?” I asked.
He didn’t answer. He walked right out the door, slamming it behind him.
Matt, who hadn’t said anything, shared a look with me.
“Be careful, June.”
“What’s life without risks?”
He shook his head and left. I locked the door behind him then continued making dinner, waiting for Tor to reappear. It didn’t take him long. A brush of noise on the stairs alerted me.
“Where did you hide?” I asked.
“On the roof.”
“You went out a window?”
He grunted.
“Tell me what you’re thinking,” I said as I started cutting up the spam to fry. I didn’t like that Nat suspected I had a fey with me. Did that mean he and his gang wouldn’t come tonight?
“I’m thinking about licking your pussy again.”
I jerked my head up from what I was doing to stare at him.
“Tor, be serious. It’s not good that Nat thinks a fey is staying with me.”
Tor shrugged.
“Vorx said that the men left and went to other houses. The human knows they didn’t disappear here. He used that as an excuse to get inside and see how quickly you were eating your food. He and his men will be here soon after dark. Cook faster, June, and I will have enough time to lick you the way you like before they arrive.”
I slowly shook my head, in awe of his thought process and his ability to obsessively focus on sex while still being very aware of everything else happening.
“Twenty minutes, and I’m yours,” I said, anticipation shooting through me.
As soon as everything was finished, I plated dinner and carried it upstairs with Tor stalking behind me. And if I’d forgotten the direction of his thoughts, he thoroughly reminded me by smoothing his hands over my hips with each step I took. When I reached the hallway, he stopped me, pressing his erection into my back as he wrapped his arms around me to fondle my breasts through my shirt.
“Are you very hungry, my June?” he asked, the question rumbling against the side of my neck where he trailed kisses.
“Let me put this plate down, and I’ll show you how hungry I am.”
He growled, his hips arching into me briefly before he released his hold. I could feel him behind me as I hurried into the room and set the plate on the dresser. The moment it was out of my hands, he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed.
I laughed as I bounced. That laughter died, though, as he fell onto me like a starved man. He had my pants off in seconds and buried his face between my legs, inhaling deeply.
