When she peeked over at me, a flash of honey beneath her lashes, I had to resist the urge to kiss her again. To pull that plump lower lip between my lips and taste her.
“No,” she whispered shyly.
“Ah.” I stroked her skin. “Then you’re talking about your other lovers. You’re used to them rolling over and going to sleep?”
She didn’t answer, but from the way her blush darkened, I knew I was right.
So with a firm nod, I untangled myself, climbed out of bed, and padded toward the bathroom to turn on the large shower. It was a little disappointing there wasn’t a soaking tub, because I would’ve enjoyed feeding Jocelyn strawberries in a warm bubble bath, but I could make do with washing her hair.
As the bathroom began to steam, I returned to find her trying to hide her glorious body beneath the covers. I wrapped my fingers around one ankle and tugged her gently toward the edge of the bed.
“I’m going to order room service, Kitten. That’ll give us enough time to take a nice shower. What are you in the mood for? Steak? Shrimp?”
She was sitting up now, trying to act blasé, like she thought this was normal. I found myself smiling as I helped her to her feet. I was doing a lot of that tonight—smiling.
“Um, a salad is fine.”
I cocked a brow. “A salad and what else? I looked at the menu earlier, and the flatbreads look amazing. Cheesy garlic bread?”
Her nostrils flared, and my grin grew. She was trying to be someone she wasn’t, but I liked when a female was honest, so I nodded. “How about I just order a selection, and we can try everything?”
“Yeah,” she said in a small voice, her gaze locked on my bare chest. “That’s…that’s good.”
Two steaks, both rare—like most orcs I knew, I liked the taste of red meat—a double order of coconut shrimp, the burrata and balsamic flatbread, the barbequechicken flatbread, an order of cheesy garlic bread, and yeah, a pear-and-pine nut salad. And a selection of slices of pie for dessert.
Jocelyn watched me order, eyes wide. I shrugged at her when I hung up. “I’m a growing boy. I need my energy.”
For the first time since she’d screamed my name as she came around my cock, I saw her embarrassment ebb away, replaced with a small grin. “Yes, you do.” Her gaze dropped once to my semi-flaccid cock, then back. “And you are.”
It was the twinkle in her honey-warm eyes that made me laugh, despite the scent of her awkwardness. When I stepped forward to scoop her up, she gasped, then relaxed against me, a small chuckle forcing its way out as she played with the hair at the back of my neck.
“Youarestrong. I don’t know many guys who can lift me.”
I pretended to scowl. “Then you know the wrong kind of males.”
My cum coated her thighs, and my mouth watered again, ready to lick them clean. But first things first. I marched us both into the bathroom, checked that the water temperature was okay for her, and gently set her feet on the tile floor.
When I stepped in behind her—admittedly, the shower got a lot smaller with me in it—she shuffled out of the way.
“We’re showering together?” she asked.
“Sure. Saves time.”
Plus it was an excuse to touch her again, and I used it.
There was a built-in bench across the back of the shower, and I settled onto it, pulling Jocelyn onto my lap while the water splashed her toes. As I washed her hair, my fingertips digging into the tension in her scalp, I felt her relax inch by inch, until she was resting bonelessly against me.
I thought she might have been sleeping, but she stirred enough to ask, “Why are you doing this for me?”
Frowning in surprise, I answered before I could think through her reasoning for the question. “Because you deserve it.”
Jocelyn was quiet for another full two minutes before she shifted on my lap. “How do you know that?”
My lips twitched. “Because you’re magnificent, Joss. You deserve pleasure, and I’m grateful I could be the one to give it to you.”
She made a little noise that might’ve been an, “oh,” which made me smile against her hair and continue my ministrations. But after another minute, I realized myKteerwas urging me toward something, and my cock wasn’t far behind.
Magnificent.
