anymore.
I drowned mine in butter and syrup. A veritable lake of caramel brown liquid sugar. Good thing I was planning on burning most of it off pretty soon. I’d either get a stomachache or a food coma.
But sex with Cheeks was definitely the best possibility for burning off sugar and calories. I shoved the food into my mouth faster. Yes, eating was vital. But so was she. In so many more ways than just one.
Even as I shoveled food into my face, I watched her. The way the roses sat on her cheeks. The light sparkled in her lavender eyes. The way her knees rubbed against each other restlessly.
I smiled. She was ready for both of us. Other than trying to fill in the holes in our respective bellies, she was more than ready for us to take her.
I looked at Tove. If I’d been shoveling the food into my mouth, the man was a damn Hoover vacuum. His plate was almost clean.
He tossed his fork down in record time. “Finish up, Hols. I need you.”
Cheeks’ mouth dropped open as her eyelids fell to half-mast. Her breathing went fast and shallow. She swallowed quickly. Took a couple drinks of milk. Switched to water. Drained the glass once more.
She set it down on the counter with barely a click. Then she looked up at Tove through her eyelashes. “Then take me, Batman.”
I reached out an arm, snagged her up first. “You’re taking both of us.” I looked into her eyes. “You good with that?”
She nodded as she slid her fingers up into my hair. “More than.” She yanked my head down and took my mouth.
I growled low in my throat, ripped my mouth from hers. I shook my head, narrowed my eyes at her. “No. I’m in charge. You’ve said your piece. You get butterfingers. That’s it.”
Her pupils blew out as she nodded. “Yes, Tagan.”
My dick jumped. Fuck. This was going to be even shorter than I’d planned on.
Tove came around, pulled her from my arms. “You can boss me around all you want, Hols. Tag’s just a grumpy, bossy old man.” He dipped his head down towards hers.
I slid my hand between their mouths. Got kissed on both sides of my palm. “Damn straight. And I’m in charge. You don’t want to play, you can just wait.”
Cheeks licked my palm, her eyes lit up. “Want to play a game, Tove?”
He laughed. “With you? Always.”
She licked my palm again. “Let’s drive Grumpy crazy.”
Tove snorted. “I’m not sure I’ll be much help in that regard, but sure. How do you want to do it?”
“No. No, no, no. I’m in charge.” I glared at her. I felt like I was losing my mind and she wanted to play a game? Not happening. Not until I was inside her.
She danced away, a light in her pale purple eyes. She left her towel in Tove’s grip.
I gritted my teeth as I took in the long expanse of her body. Her skin was the perfect shade of tan. Just enough to take the edge off the cream, but not so much as to turn her skin to leather as we got older.
Everything about her called to me. The length of her legs, her thin but muscled arms. Her deliciously curved belly. Her hips that were wide enough to grip. And enough cushion on all of her that I didn’t feel like I was climbing on top of a pyre.
I breathed through my nose as she skipped across the room. Her ass bouncing, her tits jiggling. She wanted to play tag, I’d catch her. Catch her and fuck her into submission.
Without telegraphing my move, I leapt for her in one fluid move.
She shrieked and ran towards the balcony.
I chased after her. Stalking her each move with narrowed eyes. She was going to be mine. If she got to come at all tonight was going to depend on how quickly she let me catch her.
I flicked my hand at Tove, told him without words to go through Thane’s room and cut off her retreat.
He snorted but did as I commanded.
Like she was my prey, I followed her across the room. Out to the balcony. The stars were still shining. The faintest hint of dawn showed on the horizon.
A cool breeze washed over the balcony, slid over my heated skin. I looked around, but couldn’t find her at all. And it wasn’t like there were any hiding spots for a woman almost six feet tall.
My heart froze. No. She
