new attention amplified it.
He broke away, breathless, and rested his forehead against hers. “But I need to be inside you again. I want to watch you as you come. See that incredible expression of pleasure, when you reach the brink and I push you over the edge.”
“You have too many clothes in the way for that.”
He gave her a wicked grin, and shed everything. He nudged her back on the bed, knee between her legs and brushing her swollen sex. “Problem solved.”
She wasn’t sure how he managed it, but seconds later, he was on his back with her straddling him. His hands rested on her hips, and his cock poised at her opening.
She grabbed his shaft and stroked, letting his head bump her clit. His grunts matched her heavy breathing, letting her know he enjoyed this as much as she did.
He covered her hand with his. “I was serious.” He glided his dick over her slit and thrust inside her hard and fast.
She sank into the pleasure, rocking against him. He set the frantic pace. His groans grew shallower, and she could tell he was close. She cried out in surprise when his thumb found her clit. He pressed tiny, hard circles around the engorged nub. Orgasm washed over her suddenly, stealing her breath. She clenched around his cock, milking him.
He pounded inside her, not letting up on her button until he came, filling her and thrusting, until he was spent.
She rested against his chest, memorizing every sensation. His heartbeat. The warmth of his skin against hers. His cock softening but not sliding out yet. His hands on the small of her back, holding her close and wrapping her in a familiar and incredible safety.
“You’re amazing.” His soft words melted into the peaceful aura around them.
She smiled against his chest. “I’m pretty fond of you, too.”
They both lay there for a while, not talking. Marley wrapped herself in the soothing rhythm of his chest rising and falling. She could get used to this. Who was she kidding? She already was. It felt like she’d been missing this for ages.
“Are you asleep?” Eli’s question rumbled through her ear.
She rolled off him, and rested her head on his shoulder. “No. Just enjoying the moment. I’m not really…like you now. Am I?”
“Hard to say. I’ve found you electrifying since I met you.”
She laughed and draped a hand over his chest. “That’s corny, and I’m serious.”
“I thought it was clever.” He rested a hand on her cheek, thumb stroking her skin.
A current raced between them, like a pulsing wave of static electricity. It only lasted a few seconds, but she knew she hadn’t imagined it. “What was that?”
“You’re definitely not mortal anymore.” He tilted his head up enough to kiss her on the forehead.
She should be more surprised. In the last few hours, she’d discovered gods were real, one wanted to kill her, and one had been keeping his distance to keep her alive. Oh, and then there was the one who signed her paycheck.
It all still sounded ludicrous. But knowing she was one of them now somehow felt right. She snuggled closer to Eli. Or at least, knowing it was because he was her eternity felt right.
She’d adjust to the rest as time went on. Apparently she had a lot of that in her future.
