Biting her coaxes a guttural sound, need mixed with pain.
That, too, belongs to me.
“Why didn’t you wake me?” she asks, breathless.
Talking will have to wait. My blood roaring between my ears. My heart hammers against my rib cage.
My breath is hoarse, ragged with need.
She yelps when I flip us both and haul her onto the desk.
“Baby,” is the only thing I say before planting both my hands on her knees.
“What?” She watches me spread her thighs.
Her eyes widen by a fraction when I pull her close to me. Pupils blown.
The air crackles for the split second when I just hold her there. Marvel in her desire.
Then—
Jesus.
Thrusting my hips forward, where her panties are soaked through, feels good. So good.
My hand is on my zipper, my dick aching for relief only she can give. If someone comes knocking, they—fuck. Let them wait.
I need her.
“Duncan.” Elowyn pushes against my chest. “Wait.”
At that, I stop altogether.
My muscles strain. My most base, feral instincts are locked on the woman I have trapped on my desk.
But I’m not going to force her. Never again.
“What’s going on?” While searching her gray eyes, I cup her cheeks. She stays silent. “Elowyn, talk to me.”
“I’m okay,” she breathes, slipping her hands up, stroking my neck. “It’s you I’m worried about.”
“Worried I’m going to stop needing you likethatsomeday?” I grab her wrist, shoving her hand down to the bulge in my jeans. A growl rumbles in my chest when she gasps. “Yeah, that’s never going to happen.”
“I know.” She recovers fast, squeezing my cock. “I also know I would’ve woken with you buried inside me if everything were fine. But I didn’t.”
She sees right through me, my clever woman.
She’s right; something did happen.
I have a surprise for her that’s supposed to arrive later today. Two nights ago, I snuck out of bed, drove into town, woke a few people up, and handpicked the surprise myself.
Ever since, I’ve been restless.
In an effort to distract myself—and because I want Elowyn all the fucking time—I’ve been eating her out every chance I got. I put her on her knees to suck me dry. Have her on all fours or bound to our bed.
However I can take her, really.
This morning, I couldn’t do that. Couldn’t bring myself to wake her at dawn for any reason. She doesn’t get enough sleep.
