I grabbed his short hair and pulled.
“Yes…” He panted against my neck.
Shade shifted his weight to one arm and then palmed my breast. The pad of his thumb found my nipple, and he pressed, the steady pressure traveling straight to my core and tightening the quivering muscles there. Abruptly, he gathered the taut bead between his fingers and pinched. I yelled and came like a nuclear blast.
Shade followed me over the edge, his hips moving in hard jerks. The tension in our bodies slowly unraveled, and we sank into the mattress together, both of us breathing hard.
“Holy Sky Mother,” he finally mumbled. “I think you wiped me out.”
I laughed. “I hope not. You promised we could do that again.”
He grinned, lifting some of his weight off me. I pulled him back down, enjoying the press of him against my skin.
Shade gave in to my unspoken demand while still making sure he didn’t crush me. “I would suggest another shower after that, but there’s no fucking way I’m going through that again.”
I clamped my lips together, trying to keep my smile to a minimum. I probably should have warned him about that.
“May I have permission to make another change, Captain?” Shade asked.
Warmth swirled through me. “Permission toask, Bedroom Captain.”
The corners of his mouth curled up. “Does this fold have a mattress that would fit both of us?”
My heart fluttered a little wildly. “TheFold has everything.”
Shade rolled over, dragging me mostly on top of him and trying to keep us both comfortable on my narrow bed. His hand swept down my back and stayed on the curve of my bottom.
“Then how about a bed for two?” he quietly asked.
I lifted my head, something clenching in my chest.
The brown eyes searching my face darkened with sudden hesitation. “I don’t want to assume…”
I leaned forward and kissed him. “Spoil me. I’m game.”
The wordsblood moneypopped into my head, but I pushed them aside.
“Good.” Shade gave my rear end a light squeeze.
His touch stirred sensations that were still alive inside me, and I almost told him I was game for more right now, but Shade looked exhausted.
“What’s that secret smile about?” he asked, his eyes narrowing on me.
“Nothing.” I kissed him again. “Just rest.”
He grunted a little suspiciously but then got comfortable with me beside him, relaxing like a man utterly ready for sleep. I threw my leg over his, making sure he didn’t go anywhere. Or fall off the bed.
A secret sort of smile suddenly curvedhislips.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing, cavewoman. Go to sleep.”
“Cavewoman?”
Still smiling, Shade didn’t explain, and Ihmphed, letting it go.
A moment later, Bonk jumped back onto the bed. He took the spot above our heads, commandeering most of the pillow. We both wiggled down, making room for him.
