“I hope I didn’t disturb you,” I said, strolling to the table where she joined me. She glanced down at the book in my grasp and her head slowly tilted to the side.
“Enjoying some light reading?”
“Yes. Staying distracted.” I tucked the book into my lap, covering it with my hands. “I actually came to ask if you had any tea to help me sleep. I haven’t been sleeping that well as of late.”
“Oh, of course.” She walked to a nearby shelf, collected a few containers, and returned to the table. She poured varying amounts of tea leaves into a mesh bag and handed it to me. “This should help. I must warn you though, it can make dreams a little…intense.”

I glanced down and his red eyes burned into me from between my legs, his arms wrapped around either side of my hips while his hands firmly gripped my inner thighs, pulling them apart.
“Open wide for me,” he commanded, his voice deep and gravelly.
I moaned at his words and relaxed as he spread my legs apart and swiped his tongue along the most sensitive part of me. My back arched and I sighed his name. He pulled back as a dark grin painted his lips.
“Say it again.”
“What—”
“Say my name again.”
“Rogue, please.” My breath hitched as he slid a finger in and pulled it out, before thrusting it back in.
“Eyes on me, little storm,” he commanded. I brought my eyes to his, and he slowly leaned down. My pulse raced as he ran his flat tongue along me. “When you feel pleasure like this, I want you to know who’s giving it to you.”
He curled his fingers inside me as his tongue swirled and my eyes rolled back.
“Only I can make you feel like this.”
I wound my fingers through his hair and he hummed against me as he sucked, tearing a loud cry from my lips. He pulled his fingers from me then and slid them into my mouth as he crawled up the length of my body. I sucked them clean, and he chuckled darkly. He pulled his fingers from my lips, gripping my chin with his wet hand, and kissed me deeply, groaning into my mouth as he sheathed himself inside me. I gasped at the feel of him and he smirked against my mouth.
“This ismine.”
He lowered his mouth to the mate mark and bit it harshly, sending stars across my vision at the sensation.
He pounded into me mercilessly and brought his hand down, using his thumb to circle my clit, threatening to send me over the edge. I slid my hand down to his shoulder, panting, and my fingers grazed the base of one wing. He growled into my ear at the touch, increasing his pace.
He bit the mark again and a blinding orgasm ripped through me, obliterating everything in its path. My chest arched into him and my nails dug into his back.
“That’s my good girl,” he whispered into my ear.

I jumped awake when Thana entered my chambers, gasping for air.
“Oh, are you alright? Did I just wake you?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Iaso gave me some sleeping tea yesterday.” I dropped my eyes as my cheeks flushed. “My dreams were… vivid.”
“Oh yeah, that tea is intense. I’ve had it a time or two.” She strolled to the bed and set the tray down, revealing coffee, eggs, toast, and fruit. My stomach growled at the sight and she laughed.
“Sounds like I’m right on time. Speaking of breakfast, how was yesterday’s breakfast with Rogue? I noticed the doors were kept… closed.” She smirked, and the blush in my cheeks deepened. “Oh, I knew that dress would invoke a reaction from him. He can hardly stay away as it is.”
My face tilted to her as my eyebrows scrunched. “What does that mean?”
“Hmm?” she asked casually as she continued eating.
“That he can hardly stay away?”
