“Then I hated you because I thought so many fucking times about crossing the line, despite knowing how much it would hurt Gabe. Meanwhile, I had to watch Ronan and Bastian fawn all over you in front of Gabe while reminding myself that I couldn’t add to that.”
Shock rolled through me in waves. He’dwantedme this entire time.
“And to top it all off, I knew I’d be responsible for you as a Rune Maker the second Noah confirmed you were the Star Keeper. Bound to you, but unable to touch you…Unable to have you in the ways I want.” A laugh fell from him as he shook his head. “You make me feel like I’m burning alive on the insidewhen I’m around you. The way your eyes scream defiance at my every word. How you stand your ground, even when I lose myself in the moment and act like a dick.”
I couldn’t help but murmur, “You act like that a lot.”
The first genuine smile I’d ever seen from him graced his face at that, and damn me for bringing it to the surface. It made him even more attractive, and my body felt like putty beneath him.
“Honestly, it’s a compliment that you’re able to get under my skin so much. Feel honored.”
Now I was laughing and smiling right along with him. “Honored?” I screeched, “Oh, thank you ever so much for always funneling your frustration and anger at me. How ever did I live before meeting you?”
His eyes dropped to my lips as he smirked. “There’s that smart-fucking-mouth I crave.”
For the first time ever, I felt nothing but desire for Steele, and as the tension built to an all-time high as we stared at each other, I caved when his lips surged forward. My mouth fell open as his tongue clashed with my own. We were a flurry of kisses and bites, and I was so fucking lost in his touch that as his hand found it’s way to the waistband of my leggings and began to slip under, I barely paid it any mind.
I wanted his touch, and my clit pulsated with the need to come.
He pulled back just enough to roughly whisper against my mouth, his hand pausing, “Let me make you come, Princess. Just this once.”
I felt as if I would combust if he didn’t, and my head was nodding before I could even consider the implications. He left me no time to second guess my answer as his hand easily pushed my underwear to the side before sinking two thick fingers inside of me.
My eyes fluttered shut as my mouth opened with a moan. His lips were on mine instantly, swallowing the sound as he began to work his fingers inside of me. My hips rocked in time with his moves, and as he brushed his thumb across my clit, a needy whine came from me.
“Tell me again you don’t want me,” he taunted as our heavy breathing mingled and he pressed down on my clit harder. “Tell me you weren’t jealous at the thought of me doing this to Georgia.”
Something in me refused to still speak the truth, and my eyes narrowed on him. “I don’t. Go fuck Georgia for all I care.”
My hips bucked as he increased the pace of his fingers, curling them up to hit my sweet spot. I gasped as my eyes rolled back with pleasure. His lips were against my ear once more as he stroked me, bringing me higher and higher. “When I make you come, we’ll both know just how much of a liar you are. Your mind might be fighting this, but your body is begging me for more.”
I couldn’t deny that, so I simply kept my mouth shut as I felt the muscles in my abdomen tightening.
“You’re fucking dripping for me,” he growled. “Just imagine how good it would feel for my cock to fill you up instead of my fingers. I’d fill you to the brim, but not until you begged me for it.”
The image had me moaning wildly, completely losing control of my own body.
His teeth nipped the bottom of my ear before he growled, “I promise you’ll be on your knees begging me for it one day. Now come for me, Princess. Show me just how much youdon’twant me.”
I was helpless to fight it off, his command and dirty words causing my orgasm to crash over me and sweep through me. Everything exploded within me, and I cried out his name as myfingers found his shoulders and dug in. His fingers continued to pump in me languidly through my orgasm, extending it even longer.
“That’s right, Princess. Remember how easily you shattered for me,” he growled before removing his hand and pushing off of me.
My body was numb and tingling, and my brain felt very far from reality at the moment. But as he stood and walked out of the room with no other word, the door closing loudly behind him, I felt the consequences of my decision all rushing back to me in an instant.
What the fuck had I just done?
KIERAN
Asoft knock on my bedroom door had me groaning before rolling over onto my stomach and burying my head underneath the closest pillow to me. After yesterday's…events, I wasn’t too keen to face the day ahead. I’d managed to avoid Steele easily after our encounter, since he’d disappeared for the rest of the afternoon and evening, but I didn’t have as much hope that I could do the same today.
I wasn’t even sure if Iwantedto see him or not. Clearly my body did, but my mind? It was in shambles about how I was going to handle all of this. I’d really managed to make a mess of my life all on my own, without the prophecy even being involved.
I let out a heavy sigh before grumbling, “Come in,” from beneath my pillow of shame.
“Good morning, Little Star,” a gentle voice rumbled.
Gabe.
