“Not as hard as you make me,” Luca murmurs into my shoulder. I guess I muttered it out loud.
“Seriously, though, it’s some hard shit.”
He stops nuzzling me and leans up on one elbow over me instead. “What do you mean?”
We’re back in bed, where Luca pulled me insistently after our almost-argument over dinner. “Some date night this turned out to be,” I grumbled again on the staircase up.
He stopped outside our bedroom door to kiss me, and asked, “What did you have planned for after dinner?”
“They’re showingThe Godfatherdowntown.”
“I bet you’ll prefer my private company for three hours.”
He’s not wrong. He already drained me twice when he got home, but I’m just as hard for him now as I ever am, and he’s taking his time teasing my ass, opening me up slowly for him. He likes to go slow and make me beg.
I like it, too. But then, I like everything about him, my husband, my protector, my Lucifer. Even now when he’s frowning down at me, wondering if I’m going to make trouble again about his visit to Chicago. I really fuckinglikethe jerk, and that’s been a pleasant surprise after our head-over-heels meeting, mating and marriage.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. The man is hot as hell and I’d suck his dick for days even if I didn’t like him all that much.
But I do. Idolike him.
That’s part of what makes being married to him so tough some days.
“What do you mean, marriage is hard?” he asks again. He fixes me with his burning blue eyes, and his fingers tighten on my shoulder.
I give a shrug, half to indicate my own confusion, but half to get him to quit squeezing so damn tight. “I was a solo cat for a long time, baby. Now there are two of us prowling around in this life we’re building together…sometimes it just feels—”
“Crowded?” he demands.
I grin. “A little. But it’s sexy, too, finding a way for us both to slink around together.”
He sniffs. “Maybe it’s a good thing I’m going away. Give you some time away from me.”
I stop smiling. “Don’t say that. You know that’s not what I mean.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“I mean, you mightdiein Chicago. And then my last memory of you will be telling me I want time away from you.”
“Mother Mary,” he mutters under his breath. “Your last memory won’t be of that, I can promise you. Get your leg up.”
Grinning again, I turn over, shift my leg obediently and let him slide home. God, he’s a good fuck. Or rather, we’re good at ittogether. We fit, our bodies moving in perfect balance. He’s deep inside me, his breath harsh against my shoulder as he tries to fight off the desire to justplunderme.
But that’s exactly what I want him to do.
“Come on, baby,” I beg. “Give it to me.”
He does, hard and deep, so that we’re shuffled across the bed in inches, and I can’t catch my breath. I’m spread out under him, my cock dragging across the sheets, totally overpowered by him.
Exactly the way I love it.
He fucks into me mercilessly until I beg him to let me get a hand on my dick, and he kneels up behind me, hiking my hips up in the air as though it’s purely to give himself a better angle. But my man is a generous lover, and he would never leave me hanging. I don’t even have to jack myself; his arm snakes around me and I feel his fingers close around my shaft, giving me a tug that makes my balls quiver. “Fuck,” I hiss. “Please—keep fucking me—”
His hand leaves my cock for a second, and lands on my asscheek in a stinging slap. “You really gonna tell the Boss what to do, baby bird?”
I can’t help it; I dissolve into laughter, but Luca keeps fucking me through it until I’m groaning and begging again. Then, and only then, does he reach under me again, his hand playing me like a maestro. Just as well, because my knees are starting to give way, my thighs shaking from effort as much as excitement, and I shoot with a loud shout.
Luca doesn’t even pull out as he manhandles me over onto my back, so he can see my face as he plows into me. I love seeing him like this—all that determination and hard effort, his eyes searching mine—and then the look of surprise and bliss that comes over him, like he’s shocked every time we fuck at how good it is.
