“What did she win if she made it?” Seth asks. He’s bouncing on his toes with a gleam in his eyes. A little chaos and anarchy always get him excited, and Aurelia never stops finding ways to stir up both.
“I got to see Khalil cry like a bitch!” Aurelia calls out.
She’s getting closer but not fast enough, so I decide to meet them halfway. In a weird twist, Aurelia lowers the bow as I stalk toward her, and she doesn’t do a thing to stop me when I cup her nape and pull her into me. She comes without a fight, and I take the crossbow from her, handing it to Thorin without taking my eyes off her.
“You shouldn’t have missed.”
“I didn’t. But out of curiosity, why?”
“Because I’m going to kiss you, Goldilocks.”
Before she can object, I give in to the need that drove me to leave the cabin and find her. I devour her mouth and swallow her moans while driving her backward until her spine hits the tree. She gasps from the impact, but the pain only fuels her. Aurelia slides her hands under my coat and shirt and pays the pain back by dragging her nails down my abs. I grunt, but I don’t stop. If anything, I kiss her harder.
“Mmm…okay, that’s enough,” she says, turning her head away while breathing hard.
I let her have that, but I keep her pressed against the tree as I make out with her neck. “Tell me you missed me.”
“I thought about you once or twice.”
My head pops up, and I glare down at her. “Quit playing with me, Aurelia.”
“All right. I thought about you three whole times.”
“What are you doing out here?” I whisper. I can hear Seth and Thorin doing the same with each other a few feet away.
“Hunting.”
“And whose idea was that?”
“Mine.”
Peeking over my shoulder, I make sure Thorin and Seth are still occupied, and then I grab Aurelia’s throat and whisper, “Are you trying to run again, Aurelia?”
She stares up at me, her dauntless gaze shifting back and forth. It feels like she’s staring into my soul. If she’s looking for anything good, she won’t find it. “Harder.”
Shock ripples through me, and my grip loosens. It can’t be. I must have heard her wrong. She’s too goddamn good to be true. “Say that again,” I demand.
“If you want to scare me, choke me harder, Khalil. You had no problem hurting me before. Don’t pussy out on me now.”
My fingers flex around her neck with indecision, and then I make one. I tighten my hold until her eyes flare, and she bites into her bottom lip.
Fuck, she’s perfect. “Is this hard enough for you?” I ask while squeezing a little harder.
Her face turns red and then purple the longer I cut off her air supply.
Still, she doesn’t fight me or beg me to stop.
Instead, her hand finds the waistband of my pants, and she yanks me closer, nodding only when she feels my hard dick pressed against her stomach. Shoving my free hand down her thick knitted tights, I slip two fingers inside and slowly fuck her wet pussy while staring into her eyes.
“Goddammit, Goldilocks. Tell me you weren’t trying to run from us again.” Finally, she jerks her head left and then right. Curling my fingers, she makes a strangled sound that I cut off before Thorin and Seth can hear because this moment is just for us. “Are you lying to me?” She whimpers and shakes her head again, and then her lashes lower as she begins to lose consciousness. I can’t help but think about the night I fucked her on the kitchen table, how much I want to do it again, and if she will let me. “Are you going to come for me?”
Her nod is weak, but her pussy tightens around me like a vise, and I know she’s close. I grind the heel of my palm against her clit and let go of her throat.
Aurelia inhales, and then she lets out a wail as she comes, making a mess of my hand and her tights.
Seth pauses mid-word, and I can hear my brothers trying to be quiet as they sneak over, but I can’t look away from our girl.
Fucking beautiful.
So softly, I almost don’t hear it, Aurelia pants as she says, “I did miss you, Khalil.”
I kiss her again as I play with her pussy. I’m still kissing her when Seth whimpers like a sad puppy. Aurelia breaks the kiss and looks over at him while stroking my overgrown beard. “What’s the matter, Seth?”
“Khalil’s your favorite.”
Aurelia snorts. “No, he’s not. Thor is.”
I snatch my hand from her tights like I’ve been burned. “What the hell? I made you come!”
“So? I can do that myself.” Aurelia holds my gaze as she adjusts her tights. “Thor is giving me something useful. You want to be my favorite? Impress me.”
