The sound that left him made me look up. I mean, I couldn’t avoid him if there was a medical emergency. Just because he didn’t like sex with me didn’t mean I’d let him die.
But he wasn’t dying. Thankfully.
And once my eyes latched on, it was like he was made of super glue and I couldn’t force them away.
“You think you weren’t good for me?”
Tears flooded my eyes, and I hoped they’d wash away the glue. But they didn’t. Pulling my hands from the blankets, I shoved my finger into my mouth and bit through a nail. The slight snapping sound it made was a bit of a relief.
“I’m just not as good at sex as you,” I murmured, not even bothering to blame it on my head injury or any other pain I suffered at the moment. Those were just excuses anyway.
Kieran came forward, thankfully breaking the hold on my stare, and I dropped my chin toward my chest while gnawing through another nail. His scent wafted around me when he moved the tray off to the side, and the mattress dipped when he sat on the edge.
His fingers grasped my chin and pushed it up. For the first time, I evaded the touch and turned my head.
“Why do you think this?”
“You’re grumpy. If you liked it, you wouldn’t be so cranky.”
He let out a rough sound and tugged me sideways into his lap. After making sure the stupid IV line wasn’t tangled, he tucked his arms around me, pulling me close.
I stayed rigid, refusing to melt. I’d already embarrassed myself enough since meeting him.
“I didn’t hate the sex.”
I glanced up. His blue eyes were sincere. “You liked it?”
He shook his head. “I didn’t.”
My heart sank.
“I more than liked it.”
Oh.
“It was by far the best I’ve ever had.Youare the best I’ve ever had.”
Oh.“Really?”
“Didn’t you feel how hard I came?”
My lips curled in. “Pretty sure it’s still leaking out of me.”
He groaned. “That makes me want to push your face into the pillows and rip those ridiculous boxers off you so I can watch.”
I wrinkled my nose. “They are not ridiculous.”
He shifted, and I felt his cock growing against my ass. Surprised, I looked up. The lust swimming in those blue pools was undeniable, calling to me like a siren.
Biting into my lower lip, I ground against his erection, loving the way his fingers bit into my hips.
“I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you.” His tone was gravelly and deep. “And having you only made it worse. I already want you again. I want to tie you to that bed and breed that perfect ass until your insides are floating in my cum and your voice is a permanent rasp because your throat is the shape of my dick.”
Whimpering, I pressed down on my cock, which was rigid between my legs.
Leaning in, Kieran dragged his canine over the shell of my ear. “If you didn’t need to rest, I’d already be inside you again.”
I scrambled around, nearly pitching backward in my attempt to straddle his lap.
