I was finally feeling hope again.
"Why did you start feeding me in the first place?" I asked. "Because I smelled like apples?"
"Because I'd seen the way you and Bloom fought for each other before you devolved. And because for the first time in too fucking long, I actuallywantedto be there for someone the way I was for my family."
My throat swelled.Not with bloodlust, this time.
"I know I'm rusty, but I'm trying. I hope that can eventually be enough." His voice almost sounded raw.
I tried to pull myself off his lap, to turn around, but he held me firmly in place. When I pushed his hand away, he reluctantly loosened his grip enough for me to turn around on his lap.
I took his face in my hands and tilted his head down until our eyes met. He breathed out slowly.
"You smell like me," I whispered.
"I fucking better."
My lips tilted upward, just a little. "It's enough."
He captured my mouth, almostgently. I parted my lips for him, and his tongue dragged slowly over mine.
It was sweet.
Sensual, too.
But the asshole pulled away a hell of a lot sooner than I wanted him to.
"Bite me," he ordered.
"We were talking."
"We werekissing. Now I want you to bite me."
"You just want me to fuck you." I released his face.
He dragged my hands back to his cheeks as he tipped his head sideways.
His neck did look pretty tempting.
And his body...
"You have to kiss me more, before I bite you. Slow. Like you just did," I said.
Rhone's mouth captured mine immediately.
His tongue found mine again, his gigantic hands slipping beneath my shirt as the man made love to my mouth.
I was officially obsessed with kissing him.
One of his hands dragged slowly up my abdomen, his thumb brushing my ribcage beneath my breast, as his tongue stroked mine.
I parted my lips wider.
He kissed me deeper.
Rhone's thumb dragged lightly over my nipple, through my thin sports bra, and I moaned into his mouth.
He adjusted my position with his other hand, lining my center up with his erection. We were separated by fabric, but that didn't stop his cock from hitting my clit just right.
