She added, “And I’d be pleased to be your affai and marry you.”
“Pleased—?”
Had the woman just accepted a proposal I hadn’t yet made?
“Of course, I’m not sure you mean it. Maybe you should convince me I should say yes?” She grabbed my hand and placed it between her slick thighs. “Hmm, yes. Show me what I’ll be missing if I say no.”
Snared by my sensual bride-to-be, I couldn’t deny her.
I kissed my way over her body, sucking and licking, nibbling and teasing all of her from her lips to her toes. I paid particular attention to the honey between her slender thighs.
Soon, I’d trapped Tessa in my spell as I made her beg for mercy.
Later, as we rested together, I knew I’d never live it down if my brothers discovered my affai had proposed to me.
And that I’d been seduced into accepting.
Chapter 30
Tessa
“I don’t know how we’re going to flush out the Djinn,” I said to Marcus the next day as we waited in morning traffic. “The enemy could be anyone.”
“Exactly. Anyone. As in Jonas Chase.”
I rolled my eyes.
Marcus was being deliberately obtuse, but I didn’t have the heart to be mad at him. Still flying on cloud nine, I couldn’t believe I’d had the nerve to seduce him into a proposal, one that he’d accepted.
Fully expecting him to dismiss me in the light of day, I’d waited for him to deny me. Instead, he’d announced at breakfast that we’d be getting married.
Aerolus had only nodded, as if he’d accepted our union days ago.
Cadmus had been asleep, but I knew the next time I saw him, he’d be full of sly innuendo and knowing grins.
“You can think it’s Jonas if it will make you happy.” I patronized my fiancé—I couldn’t get over thinking of Marcus in that role.
He winked back at me. “I will. And I am happy.” Marcus was his most formidable when pleased. “You make me very happy, affai.”
I cleared my dry throat and shifted in the seat, aroused and aware he knew it.
He couldn’t hide that smug satisfaction. “And you make me hard. I can’t stop thinking about your lips wrapped around my cock. My balls were so heavy, and you kissed them. Sucked me dry when I shot down that smooth throat of yours.”
He continued the sex talk all the way to the building, leaving us both breathing hard when he finally parked in the lot.
“You expect us to both go into work now, like this?” I gasped.
He adjusted his trousers. “That’s all I have time for now. I’ll give you what you’re craving later, hmm? Be good and stay away from Jonas, will you?” He brushed my lips with his own and left the car, waiting by my door for me to exit.
I gave him credit for being a devious bastard. I knew Marcus’ moods and how to manipulate him, but he knew my buttons as well.
I concentrated on calming down before I left the car. “Pretty slick.”
“I know,” he said with a quick glance down my body. “But we’ll get to that fine cream between your legs later.”
“Jerk.”
He laughed.
