“He really does, Mom. We’re the most unlikely couple, but it works.”
“I can tell. I’d never seen you this happy with Drake.”
“Smythe is a horse’s ass, and I’m glad you dropped him when you did. I’m keeping my eye out on this fella, though,”my father had said, and it was then that I realized that my friends and family had all thought I should drop Drake. I’d been the only one too blind to see it.
Zarren pulled away. “What’s wrong? You were right there, then you weren’t.”
I smiled. “I was just recalling a conversation I’d had with my parents. I think my mother is as smitten with you as I am.”
“Is that right?” he asked with a slight smirk on those sinful lips of his. “I think your father would like to take me hunting, then treat me as prey.”
I gasped. “He does not.”
“His detailed description of his knife and sword collection says otherwise. As does the way he educated me on what each blade could do to a man.”
“Daddy was teasing you. It means that he likes you, but of course, he has to protect me.”
“I’ll always protect you, Bellezza.”
“I know you will,” I said as I rose onto my tiptoes to kiss him again.
His mouth came back down on mine, and I melted into his arms as they wrapped around me. I’d just planned to kiss him, but as his embrace tightened and his cock hardened against me, something told me he had other ideas.
Still, I let him devour my mouth and didn’t even stop him as he lowered the top of my long-sleeved shirt to kiss and nibble my collarbone. A few moans were torn from my throat before I remembered that we were outside on the grounds during a large party where anyone could stumble upon us.
I pushed at his chest, eliciting a groan from him as he knew what I was going to say before I even said it. “I wish we had time to go home before leaving for London.”
“Me too, but we don’t. In fact, we should probably get ready to say our goodbyes if we expect to make it to the airport on time.” He scowled as the words left his mouth.
“I’m excited to meet Ciara.”
“She hasn’t shut the hell up about meeting you, so I think the feeling is mutual. Let’s go.”
I took his hand, then directed him on the correct way back to the carriage house we’d been staying in. At first, my parents had wanted us to stay inside, but I sensed Zarren would feel more comfortable out here. I’m glad now that I had because last night, he’d fucked me hard in the ass, drawing a number of screams from me.
It seemed surreal that this was my life. I used to rush home to read a book or watch television, but now I couldn’t wait to leave the hospital and crawl into bed with Zarren. Sex with him was indescribable. It was like a drug, and I was a junkie feigning for the next hit. He’d always left me with such an incredible high after multiple orgasms, and even the soreness never stopped me from letting him fuck me again.
We finally reached the carriage house, and I was now thankful I’d thought to have him pack his things up earlier. I only had because I’d gone for tea with my mother and her friends, and Zarren went to play cards with my father and his cronies. Now, all we had to do was grab our suitcases and be on our way.
Zarren had other ideas because he came up behind me, then swiftly raised my shirt up and over my head. “W-what are you doing?”
“If you have to ask, I’m obviously not doing it right,” he whispered into my ear.
“Umm, I think you’re doing it too well, is all.... Fuck... I... we don’t have time?—”
“There’s always time to fuck you.”
He bit down on my lobe as his hand moved inside my pants. I could feel his long fingers stroking me, and I arched back against him as three of those long digits slipped inside of me.
“I’m serious, Zarren.... ohh.. There’s usually traffic and.... oh God... fuck, Zarren...”
“That’s it, Bellezza. Fuck my fingers so I can make you come.”
“Zarren... I...” my voice trailed off as my breath hitched in my throat.
His fingers were moving faster, assaulting the spot guaranteed to make me come. The room spun around me, and my knees nearly gave out, but not before I opened my mouth in a silent scream and flooded his hand.
“So good, Aurora. Now get me off so we can leave.”
