“Shut up, Adonis.”

In a clumsy attempt to right myself in his grasp, my nails curl into his biceps and I’m rewarded with another rock of his hips.

“Talk your shit now, menace,” he taunts on a whisper against my neck, licking his way around my pulse and sucking until I hiss.

“Just…a question,” I moan.

“Don’t bring up another woman when I’m making you forget your name.”

“I know my name.” My retort is breathy and broken, not helping my case at all.

“Yeah?” Adonis stills but pulls my hips forward so the greediest part of me is notched perfectly along his length. “What’s your name?”

A longing ache at my center seals my lips and a whimper is the only thing that escapes.

“What’s your name, baby?”

By now, my nails are carving out a permanent place in his skin, but he doesn’t flinch.

“…Adonis.” It’s a whiny rendition of his name but I can feel him smile against my neck anyway.

“Not my name, baby. Yours.”

I’m moving on him again. Not on my own. I can’t do anything on my own right now but sigh. Everything I feel is because of him. Everything I hear begins and ends with his voice.

It’s…a lot.

But so fucking needed I just give in.

And when it feels like relief is only a breath away, he stops and slides me a devilish smile. “How was your day?”

“Are you serious?”

Thick fingers rake through my hair as I’m still suspended on the brink. Body pressed between him and the wall. My patience somewhere in hell while my desire is in the clouds.

Another sinful smile finds his lips and little by little, I uncurl my fingers from his arms.

“Come on.” He lowers me to my feet even though it feels like the ground is unsteady beneath me. “Let’s eat, it’s getting late.”

Interlude — WYD?

ADONIS

Me: What you doing?

Delilah: Watching a movie with Titus

The picture attached is Titus in one of the theater seats in the basement, an empty bowl by his head as he looks straight at the screen.

Delilah: He finished all his popcorn before the movie started

Me: You spoil the fuck out of that dog

Delilah: Jealous?

Me:
