Queen Takes Rose (Wicked Villains #6) - Katee Robert Page 0,55
haven’t met the right person to do the whole relationship and procreation with.” She looks away. “Do you want kids?”
“I think so.” It’s one of those things I don’t spend much time thinking about. I like children. My sister is nearly ten years older than me, so I spent most of my teenage years watching my nieces be born and grow into little people. Amazons value children, and I’m no exception. I could have gone forward and had my own without a partner; I have all the resources to make it happen. But something’s held me back until now.
Maybe I was waiting for the right person to show up, too.
“Why are you asking me about babies?”
I’m not ready to answer that question. Deciding that I want to keep Aurora and actually managing to do it are two very different things. There are so many elements that must line up for any relationship to work, and we’re already starting at a disadvantage. I know this woman’s kinks inside and out, I know what turns her on and what gets her off. I know that she’s a fierce friend who burns a little too brightly compared to those around her. But beyond that? Even with the little pieces of information she’s allowed to slip through over the last couple days, so much of her is a mystery to me. “Spread your thighs wider.”
She hesitates but finally obeys. I coast my hands over the dip in her waist and up to cup her breasts. I trace her brown nipples and the shiny silver piercings that intersect them with my thumb, enjoying the way she gasps. “Do they still hurt?”
“Sometimes.” She meets my gaze. “I like it.”
“I’m not surprised.” I lean down and take one nipple into my mouth. She bucks under me but manages to keep her hands on the headboard. I take my time, teasing and licking my way over the curve of her right breast to her left. I have a meeting later this morning, but I can’t quite bring myself to rush this.
I lightly rake my nails over her ribs, watching her stomach hollow as she gasps. She’s squirming under my gaze, her hips restless on the mattress. I drag a single finger up the center of her pussy, nearly moaning when I find her soaked, and stop just above her clit. “If you were mine, I’d command you to pierce this, too.”
Her eyes go wide, but I don’t give her a chance to respond. I slide down her body and kiss her pussy. Gods, this woman’s taste. It drives me crazy. I can’t get enough of her, something that would worry me if I hadn’t already decided to find a way to keep her. I dip my tongue into her and then move up to tease her clit.
Aurora makes a keening sound. “I’m close, Mistress.”
I lift my head. “Already?”
She glares at the ceiling, when I know she wants to glare at me. “I’m very horny in the morning, Mistress.”
“Brat,” I murmur. I exhale over her clit, making goose bumps rise in a wave over her skin. “If that’s so, I can always stop and wait for you to spontaneously orgasm from this morning’s horniness.”
She clenches her jaw, and for a moment, I think she might actually agree out of spite. Finally, Aurora shakes her head. “Please keep going.”
“So polite when you want something.”
“Isn’t everyone?”
“No.” I go back to what I was doing. I should wait, should tease this out, but she’s too damn sweet. “You have permission to orgasm.” I want her to come, and I want to be the cause. I want… Fuck, I just want. There are so many sins one could lay at my feet, if I believed in that sort of thing. Lust. Pride. Greed drowns them all. It’s what drove me from Sabine Valley when I could no longer contain my desire to rule. It’s what built me an empire within Carver City, what made me arguably the most powerful territory leader, short of Hades. I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at a person and had that same greed flicker to life, the all-consuming urge to possess them in every way possible.
Not until Aurora.
Her whole body goes tense as pleasure takes her, pleasure that I’ve dealt. I draw wave after wave out of her, teasing her to new heights, until she collapses back to the mattress, a fine sheen of sweat coating her skin.
