Gods help me, but when he looked at me all cute like that… I did. I nodded and then he left with another kiss.

And his wallet in his hand.

Crap… But yay?

He came back like five minutes later and it was obvious he’d been running so he didn’t leave me very long. That actually made me melt.

“This will be much comfier,” he said as he showed me he had a hoodie and pair of running shorts.

And there was something in his eyes that was… Primal.

“Yours?” I checked as I took it.

He chuffed and nodded, eyeing me over like he wanted to give me more than clothes of his.

“He’s too possessive,”Iris drawled, filling me in.

I stood and took them from him, realizing there was something he might want to know. I cleared my throat and fidgeted with my hair. “I’ve never worn a man’s clothes before.”

His nostrils flared and then he was carrying me to my room. “I was praying to the gods you would say that. Fuck, wear just a bra with it if you need, baby girl, but be naked in my clothes.” He nuzzled my neck and then it sounded like he growled, “Mine.”

Did he think this new crazy would make me end things?

“Didn’t you consider it?”Iris pushed.

When I could think straight I probably would, but right then… I was just all over the place. I really was.

I did need a bra even when relaxing because I’d still be moving around and whatnot.

“You want me without panties in your shorts?” I checked.

“I want them to smell like you.” Then he gave me a sly smile. “I always want you without panties, baby girl.”

Fair enough.

I let him undress me, but then slid the hoodie over my head and pulled off my panties from underneath. I snorted as I glanced down. “Do I need the shorts in this dress?”

“No, but I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable. Yes, wear only that for me while we have a bum day,” he practically begged.

I nodded and swallowed a giggle when he carried me back to the living area. “I can walk.”

“I like having you in my arms.”

Which made me snuggle up to him. “I do want to relax, but I can’t tune this out. I’d rather we just face it.”

He swallowed loudly and looked worried as he put me down. He nodded and went for the remote, handing it to me and letting me do what I wanted.

I patted the spot next to me. I didn’t blame him for any of this and he was very understanding how weird it was. I had just turned the TV on when there was a knock at the door.

“Your Majesty, Joris is here and he said to make sure I told you that he has snacks,” the guard at my suite said.

“He can come in, thank you,” I called back with a smile.

Except Onyx frowned.
