The sun had set long ago, and I was happy to return to our villa to relax and enjoy the mountain air.
I kissed both Ezzie and Raegan goodnight, noticing that they, too, were winding down. The only two that weren’t were Zayn and Lana; however, I was dying to know how the pair hadn’t snuck off into a coat closet and fucked yet. There was as much tension between them as there had been with Gavin and me that Valentine’s night.
Gavin held my hand as we walked back, the sound of live music and laughter echoing in the background. There was a delight in his gaze when he looked at me, and I had to eye him when we were ascending the hill to our villa.
“What?”
He raised my hand to his lips. “Just looking at you,” he said.
I had brought new lingerie for this occasion—but not the pink dinosaur suit, though I had brought it, too. It was so much fun, I couldn’t resist.
This lingerie set was pink and black—an underbust corset with garters and a lace-up back, crotchless panties, heart pasties, and stockings. As Gavin took a shower, I slipped into it and checked myself out in the mirror. I didn’t know why, but vacations always made me crave intimacy more than at home.
I was lying on the bed with my tablet when Gavin emerged from the bath. At first, he walked right past me to his suitcase in the other room, but then I saw him walk backward out of the corner of my eye, brows narrowed as if he’d noticed the lace.
“Fuck me,” he muttered under his breath.
But I ignored him.
Each step he took around my side of the bed made me want to squirm, look over the device, and meet his eyes. I wanted to know what he was thinking. What his plan was upon seeing the lingerie.
“So… what’s new in monster erotica?” he asked, his voice hesitant as he sat on the bed by my bent knees.
My insides heated with anticipation, forcing my eyes to reread the same line repeatedly in my book. “How do you know I’m reading monster erotica?”
His hand trailed down my calf, squeezing the muscle slightly. “Lucky guess,” he said. He picked my leg up and kissed the inside of my knee. “Minotaurs?”
I shifted. “A few.”
“Fuck, are these crotchless?” he said, though I wasn’t sure he was speaking directly to me.
I finally glanced over the screen toward him and had to bite my lips together at the hungry look in his eyes. He was touching my legs like it was his first time seeing them, staring at my panties and corset like he could eat them.
I made a mental note to purchase edible lingerie for Halloween and Valentine's.
“Mm… you can keep reading if you like.” He kissed my hip in the small area between the corset and my underwear. “Let me take this in. Gods, you’re fucking sexy,” he muttered as he settled between my thighs. “Tell me about your book.”
“Ah… it’s about a princess who—“ I swallowed as he clenched my ass, thumbs running beneath the garters. “—who has an arranged marriage to a foreign prince to bring together kingdoms. Shit—“ I found my hips undulating against his rubbing my thighs and kissing my stomach. “And she… she is assigned a knight, who happens to be a minotaur, and she falls in love with both the human prince and the minotaur.”
“So, who does she choose?” he asked.
“Fuck… She doesn’t have to choose,” I managed. “Why should she?”
“Isn’t that what usually happens? She has to pick between the two lovers?”
“We don’t have to choose anymore. She gets the human prince, the minotaur, and all the activities that…shit… come with it.”
Gavin chuckled against my breast. “Is that what you want, baby? A threesome with a minotaur?”
I glanced up, unable to stifle my smile, and Gavin stopped sucking my skin. “I mean… do you know one?” I asked.
“I know several,” he replied.
There was another pause, during which Gavin sat up and laughed.
“Listen, you laugh, but that sounds like a great anniversary present,” I said, grinning widely. “I thinkyoumight enjoy that. Watching a mythical creature bend me over, claw marks on my back. Or maybe me on top grabbing his horns—“
“Should I leave you alone with your fantasy?” he teased.
