I slide my fingers farther down his chest to his ripped stomach.
God, he’s beautiful. Every muscle perfectly curved. His body hard and unyielding but still soft in the way his fingers curl around the back of my thigh. I shiver at his touch, my nipples pebbling.
I wish I was wearing more than a pair of sleep shorts and a tank top with no bra. Somehow, I feel more bare than if I were naked.
“I want to make you feel good,” I admit. “Do you trust me?”
Valen nods, and I slide down his body, trailing my fingertips as I go. He tenses, not in an uncomfortable way, but in anticipation.
“Thank you for your trust. I know it has to be earned, and I hope you know I’d never hurt you,” I whisper, kissing his wrist. “This goes at your pace.”
Valen’s strong hand tangles in my hair and cradles my head with utmost care. “Thank you for being okay with a broken mate who is still healing.” He looks at me like I hung the moon, and I melt. I’m not sure what I did to deserve this sweet vampire, but I’m thankful for whatever entity made him mine.
Instead of replying, I ease his bottoms and underwear down. His cock springs out of its confines and lays against his stomach in all its glory.
“Damn.” I salivate at the sight before me. Beautifully veined and long, his cock is gorgeous, if one could be labeled as such. My core clenches at the thought of it inside me, but today is not that day. It’s about him.
I lightly brush a finger across the head of his cock, and he hisses in response.
“What are you doing?” He pants out and I look at him from beneath my lashes.
“You’ll see.” I plant kisses along his shaft. “Please,let me know if you want me to stop at any point.” Once he nods his agreement, I continue.
His cock strains the more I tease, and the flushed head grows impossibly bigger. I stroke his inner thighs and lick along the crown. Valen growls and pushes toward my mouth with need.
“Ava,” he gasps in a needy whimper.
Having this man at my mercy is quite the turn on. Putting him out of his misery, I take him deep in my throat and suck. Valen pulls on my hair in a way that shoots straight to my pussy. Moaning, I lick with fervor.
“I’m going to come, Ava.” He tries to pull my mouth away, but I remain steadfast. “I can’t … I can’t hold it anymore.”
Seconds later, hot cum jets down my throat, and I swallow it all.
“Fuck!” Valen exclaims and collapses against the bed.
A dribble of cum falls out of the side of my lips, and he lifts a weak hand to wipe it away.
“Sorry,” he says sheepishly. “I know that wasn’t long, but I couldn’t hold out. I always seem to be on the edge of my sanity when it comes to you.”
Climbing back up so we’re face to face, I smile at him. “I enjoyed every minute of it. Was that okay?”
Valen pulls me down so I’m sprawled on his bare chest and runs his nose along mine before nuzzling my throat.
“Feel free to do that whenever you’d like to me.” He licks my throat. “You have ruined me, Ava McGuire. How lucky I am to be yours.”
“That’s my line,” I whisper and cuddle closer to him.
We settle in for the night, and I curl around the man I didn’t know was made for me and yet I thank the world every day for.
CHAPTER 25
AVA
A soft sensationon my shoulder rouses me from sleep. It’s a persistent movement, and I try to swat at the culprit.
“Pom Pom,” I groan. “Stop with the kisses.” A deep chuckle vibrates against my skin, and I stiffen. “You’re not Pom Pom.” I awaken fully.
“No, I am not.” Valen punctuates each word with a kiss against my skin. “Way less furry, but just as loyal.”
