Page 78 of Kiss of Steele

“Just a kiss.” He followed me, and his lips were on mine again, demanding and dominant.

I put a hand on his chest. “We shouldn’t?—”

His hand grabbed my breast and kneaded it, brushing his thumb over my nipple until I moaned. Dash it, it felt so good. But it wasn’t the real Rennie.

“I mean it.” I gazed around. The other Rennies were smiling around me, all seven of them... seven? Yes, there were seven. Since when did I have seven Rennies in my bedroom? “Lawrence?” The breath was punched out of me.

“The one and only.” He wrapped my arms around my waist, beaming.

“But, how?”

“You didn’t think I would let you go without a fight, did you? Mother lamia and I became friends, well, more or less. It slipped out of your bedroom at night to see me. It helped me train its puppies to show your mother how wrong her attitude was. I know how important your family is to you. I wanted your mother to admit she was wrong on her own. It took a while, but here I am.”

“How did you enter my bedroom without me noticing?”

He arched a brow. “Seriously? I’m an occult agent.”

I had other questions, but confound it, we had time to talk in the future. I took his face and brought it down for a burning kiss, making him feel all the passion and desire I felt. He kissed me back, caressing my body with his big hands.

“I’ve missed you so much,” he whispered, kissing my neck. “And I’ll show you just how much.”

As the lamiae did their dissolving trick and went somewhere else, he laid me on the bed and started undoing my shirt. “I’m going to feast on you until you come, screaming my name.”

I grinned. Lord, what a splendid plan.
