Check out the Fierce series:
“How did you like my little love bites?”
I roll my eyes and chuckle a little. “You really are a devil, you know that?”
Grinning, he lifts my face and softly presses his lips on mine, the arousal still lingering in the air between us. “I know you like it.”
“Hmm … Maybe.”
“Maybe my ass. You don’t just like it, you love it. Don’t deny it. I have proof.”
I giggle. “Oh really? What proof?”
He raises one eyebrow and signals to my ass. “Your naked ass straddling my cock on the couch says enough.”
I gape at him, suppressing a laugh that I swallow back. “Oh my god, you did not just say that.”
“What? It’s the truth.”
“Hunter!” I prod him with my finger again.
“Hey, you’re the one who offered herself to me willingly. You’re an amazing seductress, you know that? Got me all riled up there.”
I blush. “I just … wanted to make you happy.”
He frowns, wrapping his fingers around my arms, pushing me forward to gaze at me. “You just did that to alleviate my stress?”
“Yes and no.”
He sighs. “Leafy … I don’t want a pity fuck, and I don’t want you to use your body as means to make me feel better. That’s not what I want from you, you know that.”
“I know, but I want to make you feel better about yourself, and I know for a fact this relaxes you.”
He looks down at the tiny space between us, avoiding my eyes. I can tell this is difficult for him. “Now it feels like I used you.”
“You didn’t. I wanted this. I wanted to do this for you … but also for myself.”
His radiant, grey eyes creep back up to my level again, curious and enchanting. He squints. “Are you admitting you wanted to fuck me?”
I smash my lips together, trying to keep a giggle from coming out. He’s right, but it feels so bad to admit it. “I guess.”
A slow, half smile curves his lips. “You’re starting to love it, you little vixen.”
“Hey, I’m not that bad,” I say.
“I wish you’d be. I fucking love it,” he says, pressing a kiss to my chin. “So you fucked me to pleasure yourself and to make me feel better? I can live with that. Seems like you really want to please me.”
“You’re such a smart ass sometimes. If you don’t watch it, I’ll tell you to suck it.”
He nuzzles my boobs, burying his head between them. “Hmmm … Please do. I’ll suck you any day.”
“God, stop it! You and your sexual innuendos.” I shove him further into the couch, laughing.
He growls, biting his lip seductively. “Oh, I like it when you play rough.” He lunges forward and wraps his arms around me, dragging me to his chest. Trapping me between his muscular arms, he says, “Gotya.”
I chuckle against his neck, placing soft kisses on his skin. I could poke him all day, and sometimes I just want to smother him with hugs. I kind of love that man of mine.
He places a kiss on top of my head, running the tips of his fingers up and down my spine. “I love you more than anything,” he murmurs.
“Hmm … I love you too. So much more than I can show you.”
He takes a long, deep breath. “Thank you for being here. I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’re here when I’m …” he chokes on his own words.
“I’ll always be here to catch you if you fall. I don’t want to see you get hurt,” I say.
“That’s why I love you. You’re always there for me, even when I hurt everyone around me. With the shit that I put you and my brother through, I’m thankful you guys haven’t left me yet.”
