“You sure can,” I tell her, adjusting my filling erection.
She threw her elbow back, landing a blow to my stomach in retaliation. “Not just for that, you neanderthal.”
“That’s what I was saying,malishka,”I placated.
“All you think about is sticking your cock inside me.”
Rather than answer, I tried soothing her ruffled feathers by rubbing her neck.
“You can’t make me forget everything with your magic hands,” she whined.
“I think I can,” I whispered in her ear.
“It won’t work,” she muttered.
“I think it is,malishka.”A genuine smile formed on my face. Even with everything going on, she was a soothing balm to my soul.
“I don’t like how manipulative you are,” she groaned when I hit a sore spot at the base of her neck.
“Yes you do.” She could lie to herself all she wanted, but I wouldn’t let her fool me.
“You can’t know that.”
“You have not escaped yet.”
“That’s because you knocked me up.”
“A likely story,” I indulged.
We sat in companionable silence as I kept on rubbing her body. It was like I couldn’t keep my hands off of her, and for once it had nothing to do with my cock. Oh, I wanted to fuck her. When Sloane was involved, I always wanted to sink myself inside of her and lose myself in her wetness. This was deeper though. I felt like for the first time in a long time I was in a proper relationship.
A soft snore from Sloane pulled me out of my thoughts. I peered over her shoulder and saw that her eyes were closed, and her mouth was open with a dribble of drool coming out. My littlemalishkawas fast asleep.
Out loud, I whispered. “Let’s go to bed, baby.”
As if I had called for him, Roman opened the library doors wide and propped them up. I slowly climbed out of the chair, careful not to wake her or kick her.
Roman grabbed her slippers and snapped his fingers. A young servant girl rushed inside like she was waiting along the corridor wall for some kind of signal. She blushed at the sight of Roman, then picked up Sloane’s plate, rushing from the room as silently as she came. Interesting.
I looked over at Roman, but he rolled his eyes and mouthed I should mind my business. He couldn’t hide his smile though he tried. Anyone else would’ve had a bullet in their head for their audacity, but I couldn’t do that to Roman. He had grown on me too. I was fond of the kid. Hell, if my father could see me now, he would say I’d grown soft.
I brought Sloane back to the room and stripped her down to her underwear. I then lifted her head and, ignoring her grumblings, slapped her bonnet over her braids. It wouldn’t stay on, but that was the point of getting silk pillowcases. My Sloane loved her hair care routine, and even if she were unconscious, I would still follow it.
Finally, I undressed and slid between the covers. She rolled into me. I love that about her. She always cuddled up to me as soon as my ass hit the sheets. It was like we were magnets.
I wrapped my arms around her and inhaled her scent, dozing off with one hand on her luscious breast.
SLOANE
Sloane
I awoke with a start, my heart pounding from the remnants of a fading dream. Where was I again? I looked around at my surroundings and realized I was back in Alexie’s bed, clinging to him like a baby koala.
I slowly tried to move out of his arms, but they tightened around me.
Sighing, I give up. I lay there with a full bladder trying to recall my dream. I remember running and heavy footsteps behind me. It was a confusing mess. I’d been in the woods, but then I was in the mountains, and I couldn’t stop screaming for help. The person behind me didn’t feel like they were from the MC either. Was this some kind of omen?
I really had to pee though, so I pushed away from Alexie’s arms once more. Only to have him startle awake. His dark gaze fully focused on me.
