Gabrielle tasted like red wine and secrets. He gripped her hair pulling her up against him as he deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue against hers, conquering hers. Gabrielle melted against him, moaning and gasping into his kiss.
When he pulled away, her pupils were dilated with arousal and she was panting trying to catch her breath. He couldn’t have felt any different if he had been making out with a wall.
He leaned in and whispered into her ear feeling her vibrate against him. “If you wanted me to and I was inclined, I’d fuck you too.”
He pulled back to look at her dark brown eyes.
“You’d probably enjoy it but that would be all. It would mean as much to me as all the other women I have been with. You won’t matter to me, Gabrielle, whether you are in my bed or bear my child.”
He saw the anger and hurt bloom in her eyes. She raised a hand to hit him but he caught it easily, flinging it aside.
“Get out of my office, Gabrielle, before you make a bigger fool of yourself.”
Ava woke up feeling cheated. Her mind felt woozy and she had trouble focusing her thoughts.
Adrian, she thought and latched on to that thought. Her core tightened in response. He had pulled dominance on her. She was so getting back at him.
She sat up on the bed and pulled at her clothes feeling uncomfortably hot and itchy. She pulled off her clothes feeling much better afterwards. Why did she put up with those uncomfortable things again?
She paced the room naked. He should have been back already. She wanted to go to his office, drag him back to the room – they could stay there if he preferred – pull off his clothes and– she scented him.
He was almost at the door. She thought quickly. If he saw that she wanted to jump him, he would pull his dominance on her and although she knew that she would fight harder this time, she didn’t want to take the risk.
She kicked her clothes underneath the bed and tucked herself securely under the duvet. The door of the room opened and she pretended to shiver and cry out as though in pain.
As she’d anticipated, Adrian rushed to her bedside, he took her hand that she’d left out specifically for that purpose.
It was almost insulting how much she had to do just to get her own mate to touch her. A tiny part of her tried to tell her something but she wasn’t listening. She continued to moan as though in pain, her head twisting side to side as though in search of relief and she could scent his panic as though it were hers.
“Ava.” He said as he touched her forehead. She could feel him hover over her in indecision.
“Hot,” Ava muttered under her breath, her eyes firmly shut as she shook knowing fully well that he could hear her. “I can’t breathe.”
Then like she had expected, he pulled away the covers to help her breathe better. He sucked in a breath at the sight of her naked body and she opened her eyes.
Moving quickly, Ava pulled him onto the bed and flipped them so she was on top of him.
She smiled down at him feeling more than excited about tricking him so easily. Adrian’s hands went automatically to her waist to steady her before he retracted his hands quickly as though she was on fire.
Ava was on fire. From desire, want, need, and passion. His dark hair framed his face with most of it still pulled back in a low ponytail at the base of his neck. Ava let her hand travel, touching his forehead, and his hair. Adrian froze as she touched him with entitlement. Why wouldn’t she? He was her mate after all.
Adrian lifted his head without her asking as though knowing what she wanted. She took out the hairband freeing his hair. Ava touched his cheekbones, his beautiful lips, and his chin. Her mate was perfect.
“You are so beautiful. I could watch you all day.” She whispered to him as though it was a secret.
She leaned in, her hips gyrating against his clad crotch as she pressed her naked upper half on top of his so that she could tug on his ear lightly with her teeth.
“Ava, we can’t do this.” Adrian’s voice sounded choked up. She could guess why. He was hard already and her hips were moving steadily, rubbing her against him.
“Why?” Her voice was breathy, she needed more. Needed him to take her.
“You don’t like me. Once you are yourself again, you will regret all of this.”
Of course, she didn’t like him, she loved him.
Ava dropped a kiss on his chin and pulled back to regard him with eyes dark with lust.
“But I am myself, Adrian, more than I have ever been.”
She punctuated this with a sinuous twist to her waist that made his dick jump against her. She traced her hands across his chest and sides.
“I want you so much that I can’t think straight, Adrian. Please don’t push me away.”
She crossed the space between them, unable to hold back anymore as she kissed him.
*********
Adrian should have done something. Several things to stop what was happening. He’d had ample time and opportunity to stop her but he simply couldn’t.
The pure glee on her face after pulling a trick on him that he hadn’t seen coming and the sight of her high full breasts as she straddled him despite his efforts to not look might have played a vital part as well.
She kissed him so sweetly at odds with her demeanour. He found himself reciprocating, all thoughts fleeing his head. He knew he couldn’t tell her no. Once she got her sense of self back, she would hate him possibly hate herself as well but he couldn’t have stopped for anything in the world.
He slid his tongue against the line of her lips questioning. When she opened for him sweetly almost shyly, his tongue dipped inside, teasing and stroking with both longing and enthusiasm.
Then Adrian flipped them over on the bed so he was on top. One of his hands cradled the back
of her head as the kiss grew deeper and more intense.
Ava clutched at his shoulders with both hands, her fingers reaching for his hair at the base of his neck as she sought to bring him closer. Her whole body rocked up into his as their lips and tongues danced and duelled.
She felt so hot, pliable and needy in his arms that Adrian felt the control he had on himself slowly eroding. He wanted to brand her all over her body. Make her his and his alone.
She whimpered against his mouth and breathed desperately through her nose until he finally
pulled away, his lips dropping to her ear to tug on it eliciting a gasp from her before his lips dropped to the mating mark on her neck.
She melted beneath him, moaning with need as he played with the mark. Her hips moved beneath him as though seeking something.
Goddess, she was beautiful, a vision to behold. Her dark hair was strewn across the bed, her eyes shut from the onslaught of pleasure and her lips parted with want, her body arching against him needy and demanding at the same time unbearably innocent.
He inserted a finger into her as his lips finally left her mating mark to latch onto her right nipple while his free hand massaged her left breast and she shuddered.
She was drenched, so much so that her inner thighs were wet and the scent of arousal hung thickly in the room. She felt tight around his finger despite this and when he added another, he felt her stiffen lightly beneath him before relaxing and spreading her legs wider for him.
He moved slowly then faster as he began to pump his fingers into her, increasing his pace in response to the movements of her hips while interchanging between both of her breasts and nipping at each nipple as he felt her climb high reaching for the ever-elusive climax.
And then with a gasp that sounded more like a sob, Ava came. Adrian held her as she shook and gasped and tried to get herself together.
Then she was ripping his clothes off and he assisted her with it. Their actions a frenzied dance of desire, want and longing.
In seconds that felt all too long yet short, he was naked braced above Ava as they drank in the sight of each other. Ava stared at him with borderline awe as though she didn’t know what to say or where to look.
She touched his chest with her hands then she let her hands travel down to his abs until she had him in her hands. She tugged at him experimentally while maintaining eye contact to see his reaction, his grunts as he fought to stay in control.
“Adrian, please I need you.”
