Lowering my head, I swipe my tongue ever so lightly against the bud.
“More,” she begs. I do it again to the other side.
Growing bolder, I suck at the sensitive bud and scrape my fangs gently against the skin.
She must like it, because she jolts and returns to rocking her hips against my cock. I feel like I’m going to explode. My hips move on their own, meeting each rock of hers.
“I think I might come like this,” she gasps. Her face is flushed and she smells of arousal. “Don’t stop.”
I don’t, because the last thing I want is for her to stop making those sweet noises.
When she shatters on top of me, head thrown back, it’s the most beautiful she’s ever been to me, which is saying something.
“Valen,” she pants my name. “Oh my God.”
The friction of fabric against my cock has me desperate for release. I groan and rock harder against her until wetness dampens my pants. The guttural growl I let out is slightly embarrassing, but that’s what she does to me.
We ride out our highs together, the only sound our pants as we catch our breath.
When she finally comes to, her lids are heavy. She licks her lips and presses her forehead to mine. “That was…”
“Wow,” I finish for her, and she nods.
She looks like she wants to say more, but instead she climbs off my lap and lies down beside me. I slide down in the bed and pull her closer until she’s splayed on top of me. If I had a change of sleep pants I would get up, but I don’t, and frankly I’m not sure my legs would work. This pink-haired witch has once again brought me to my knees.
I stroke my fingers through Ava’s silky hair. I’m certain she’s gone to sleep, but she surprises me when she says, “Ten out of ten for our first dry humping session.”
“I do not know whatthat means.”
Her hand that’s splayed on my stomach gives a gentle pat. “It’s a good thing. Trust me.”
CHAPTER 23
AVA
“He madeyou come just from dry humping in your childhood bedroom?” Jade arches a brow. “Good fucking day to you, too,” she muses, and I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
Following her into the back of the store, I set my bag down and pull out my lunch. I’ve taken to visiting her on my break during work to see if we can get any further with my magic, but this is the first time I’ve been back since the holiday.
It’s been fun to find a new friendship in Jade. I need to introduce her to Luna so the four of us can have a girls’ night.
It’s been a little over a week since Thanksgiving, and I’ve replayed what happened between Valen and me many times in my head. Him sneaking in was adorable and ended in the hottest orgasm I’ve had in my life. We haven’t done anything like it since, but the static charge between us has been slowly building. I don’t miss the hunger in Valen’s eyes or the way his fists clench when I walk by.
Okay, so maybe I’ve been laying the seduction on thick, but hey, I’m fucking horny.
“What did you do for the holiday?” I ask as I settle in my spot on the couch.
Jade pulls out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and waves her hand dismissively. “Nothing. Held down the fort here and had a one-night stand to distract myself from the shitty text message I got from my dad. He loves to remind me how worthless I am.” While she shrugs like it doesn’t bother her, all I can do is gape at her nonchalance. “What?” she mumbles around a mouthful.
“Nothing.” I focus on unwrapping my own sandwich and taking a bite. “Who was the guy?” I direct the conversation elsewhere.
“We didn’t exchange names, but he was ahotwerewolf. I can tell you that. Tall, dark, and handsome.” She smiles at the memory. “I met him at the bar across the street.” She fans herself. “He took me for aride. Sounds like Valen took you on one too, though.” She arches a brow, her lips twitching like she’s trying not to laugh.
I laugh, which brings on her own giggles, but I feel myself heating up thinking about Valen’s hard cock pressed against me once again.
We spend the rest of lunch chatting and catching up. Jade plans to read through a few tomes she found hidden away that could help with unlocking my magic. I haven’t told her about learning of the adoption agency’s name, and I’m not sure why.
“Anyone here?” Liam calls from the main storefront area.
