Our height difference became uncomfortable. My neck ached from angling upward for so long. Without breaking the kiss, Chrome bent lower and gripped the backs of my thighs, hoisting my legs around his waist. I squeezed my hips around his taut midsection, running my fingers through his hair ashe braced my lower back.

The concept of time and space became an illusion. Nothing else existed outside the two of us and the forces that pulled us together as I greedily swallowed his breaths.

“I’ve waited so many years to touch you like this, Rainbow,” he said between kisses. “And I’d wait an eternity more if I had to.”

The door clicked shut behind me, although I was unaware that we’d even been moving. My back knocked into the wall adjacent to the door, Chrome pinning me to it with his body.

Bracing his forearms on the wall on either side of my head, he flicked his tongue against the sensitive skin of my neck as I held myself up, tightening my thighs.

I arched my back, rolling my hips against his, eliciting a nip at the crook of my throat. “Fuck,” I gasped.

“Now’s the time to back out, Princess. Tell me. I won’t move further without your consent,” he asked, his voice gravelly and eyes wild through his haggard breaths.

“I want this.” I nodded. I needed it. I needed him. He was right. I had been scared to give in to us, not only because of Slate but because of my lack of control of the powerful force between us.

“You sure?” Hesitance shone in his eyes. I wasn’t sure what he felt coming from me, but I didn’t like it.

“For fuck’s sake. You wait any longer, and I might change my mind, Chrome.”

He shifted his weight to one arm against the wall so he could free the other to loosely grip my throat. “Be a good girl for me while I make you come on my mouth.”

It’s like he stole the air from my lungs. He set my unstable legs on the floor, removing the hoodie over my head. I tried to help him, but he slapped my hand away. “No. You do nothing but relax and come when I tell you.” The look in his eyes left no room for argument. And for once, I heeded it.

Once I was bare before him, a chill raced over my heated, gilded skin. “You’re so fucking beautiful, Gray.” He kissed me again beforeslowly teasing his tongue and lips down my neck, then to my chest. He massaged a breast and then flicked a thumb over the peak. “So perfect,” he said, licking my nipple, leaving a coolness in his tongue’s wake before he closed his lips around it. He gave it a gentle suck.

I leaned my head back, pushing further into his mouth with a moan as I felt already undone by the pleasure that shot straight to my core.

“That’s it, little savage. Let me hear you.” He traced a finger up the inside of my thigh as he dragged his lips to the other breast. He moved too slowly. I wiggled my hips, urging him to hurry.

Chrome rasped out a chuckle against my nipple. “You’re so fucking impatient. We really need to fix that, don’t we?”

Chapter 45

Gray

Chrome lowered himself to his knees at my feet, stopping his finger’s ascension to the growing tightness at my center. The sight of someone so powerful on his knees for me shattered the last of any resolve I had.

His quicksilver eyes whirled like a vortex, matching the emotions that he failed to block from me. Feeling twice the passion would be the death of me. I didn’t think I could withstand both of our emotions. I wouldn’t last long.

I bucked my hips toward him, silently begging for his touch to return.

Chrome chuckled, a husky sound, before he nipped the inside of my thigh. “What do you want, little savage?”

I glared down at him, barely able to breathe. “You know what I fucking want.”

A crooked grin inched up one side. “That’s not playing very nice.” He nipped me again, this time slightly harder. “How do we ask nicely?”

“Please,” I gritted out through clenched teeth.

“Please…what, Gray?” He slowly dragged his fingertip up again toward my center, teasing me and setting my nerves on fire.

“Please make me fucking come.”

“All you had to do was ask. Was that so hard?” He reached my opening, circling around the wetness with his finger. “You’re so fucking wet for me.”

My mouth went dry from heaving for air. “Please, Chrome…”

He groaned just before he entered a finger inside me. I gasped at the penetration. “Fuck, you’re so tight.” He worked his finger slowly before entering a second one, spreading me further for him.
