her. Once, twice, and the orgasm that had been tantalizing her for a while slammed into Ever. She cried out, voicing Aidan’s name in desperate need, and felt him jump inside her. His teeth caught the tendon beside her neck, thick fangs digging into the skin, and she almost begged him to bite her, to make his.
The thought made ludicrous but reason was far from Ever’s mind. If it took blood to make him hers, she’d give it willingly. Reaching back with one hand, she scraped her hand down his thigh, digging her nails in as hard as she could. “Mine,” she whispered, and knew he’d heard her when he growled the same at her.
“Mine.”
His teeth on her shoulder never loosened, and he pounded into her, pulling her hard against him. Ever’s breathy cries punctuated Aidan’s, her orgasm continuing to ripple through her with each thrust.
“Come for me,” she whispered, hugging the arm around her. “Please, I want to feel you come.”
Behind her, Aidan’s breath grew choppy, his thrusts becoming more frenzied. Then, with a roar that sounded more beast than man, he came, shuddering against her back. The arm that had been holding her tight loosened, and Ever took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Reaching out for him blindly, she took his hand and laid a kiss on each knuckle, her lips lingering on the back of his hand.
He pulled her sideways, collapsing onto the bed and pulling her back against him. Boneless herself, Ever let him, cuddling up to his bulk and pulling the arm around her.
“I knew you’d be the death of me,” he murmured into her hair, his warm breath fluttering across her scalp.
Ever just smiled, content to stay like this in silence for a moment. She traced circles with her thumb around each of his knuckles, lazily mapping out the surface of his body. He was like a furnace, radiating enough heat to power a Jacuzzi, but she didn’t mind.
He laid a kiss to her temple, and Ever sighed happily at the contact. “Get some rest,” he said softly, pulling a blanket over them. Ever just snuggled back against him as much as she could and sighed again, allowing herself the luxury of sleep.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
The throbbing between Ever’s thighs wasn’t what woke her up, but it definitely helped pull her from sleep.
She shut her eyes tight against the light streaming in from the nearby windows, turning over in bed to press against the wall behind her. Her brain didn’t find that thought at all puzzling until said warm wall of flesh moved, reaching around her and pulling her close. Ever blinked her eyes back open, focusing on the naked torso that took up all of her vision.
Oh, yeah.
Ever made a move to push away, but the arm around her wouldn’t allow it. She suddenly found herself squished up against the rock hard body of the man beside her, tucked under one arm, her face unceremoniously wedged between a bicep and a rather shapely pectoral.
Yay, stinky armpit. Well, okay, not stinky in this case, surprisingly clean and fresh, but…whatever. Pits, bad.
Awake now, she poked Aidan’s ribs, then again when the first time did nothing. He rolled over, freeing Ever’s head but pulling her back against him. Unused to waking up in a man’s arms, she tried unsuccessfully to wriggle out of his grip…until she felt a heavy poke against her backside.
Well now.
Aidan nuzzled her hair, kissing the top of Ever’s ear. “Morning, beautiful.”
All the fight went out of Ever. A reluctant smile tugged at her lips, and she nuzzled her cheek against his. “Morning yourself, handsome.”
His arms tightened around her briefly in answer. He rearranged himself so his thick length lay pressed between them, and Ever rolled her eyes. “Trying to ask me something,” she said, amusement heavy in her voice.
He just grunted. “Why ask,” he murmured, “when you could just take?”
Before she could work up an argument for that asinine statement, Aidan rolled them over
