Love Me in the Dark novel Chapter 22

KREW

She’s fucking amazing.

I could still taste her on my tongue, and the way she came, it was the most beautiful thing I ever gave her. I could give her the pleasure she wanted, and I would never get tired of it.

“I’ll be right back.” I rose from her body when her breathing slowed down, releasing my hair from her grip.

“Where—where you going?” Her voice slightly shook.

“Just a minute.” It was uncomfortable enough to walk when my dick was in full mast in my boxers, more so when I could feel her gaze between my thighs. “Don’t move.” I went ahead to her bathroom.

Once I was inside, I did deep breathing exercises to calm my raging hard-on, and it was difficult to control when images of River naked and writhing as I ate her were still fresh in my head. I switched the faucet cold and placed my cock underwater.

“Fuck.” I shivered. That wasn’t exactly my intention, though. I never regretted what I did to her. Lately, things didn’t go as I always planned. Maybe it was time for a change.

Thank fuck, my cock softened. I grabbed a towel and soaked it, then I went out of the bathroom and grabbed panties from the drawer. I knew where River kept her underwear. I started to think that I was creepier than her stalker. When I returned to bed, she was already covered with a blanket from neck to toe, covering her gorgeous body. She was staring at the ceiling with a deep frown on her face.

“You never listened, and you always have to defy me, haven’t you?” I pulled the blanket off. She put her shirt back on, but still naked down. The most beautiful post-orgasmic bliss I saw earlier had been replaced by a frown.

She quickly covered her exposed pussy while glaring at me. “What are you doing?”

I held her hand, but she refused, clutching her thighs together instead. “Spread your thighs.”

“I think we’re done here.”

I sighed. “Don’t make me forcefully pull your hand off your pussy, River.” Thankfully, she didn’t resist anymore because I knew I would get what I wanted.

“You don’t have to do that. I didn’t even return the favor.”

I stared at her, forced myself not to burst into laughter, but what I failed to do so was the smile I tried to hold. “What are we? Teenagers? Did I ever ask anything in return?”

When she spread her thighs, I wiped her pussy clean with a clenched jaw. I could still smell her arousal. Cleaning her must turn her on. I, on the other hand, started to throb again. I wanted to shove my dick deep into her heat and feel her clamping around me unsheathed. I had to fight that urge, and I shook the thoughts of spreading her wide and fucking till we were drained.

Once I finished, I put down the wet towel on the floor and took her panties. Before I could help her wear her underwear, she stole it from me..

“I can manage just right.” With a little daze look and flushed, she put it on quickly as if it vanished in a second.

Ignoring the hint that she was turned on, I crawled back to her bed, laid beside her, and covered ourselves. “Come here.”

“What happened to the leaving after sex?”

I gathered her into my arms, draped my leg over hers while she was throwing daggers. “We didn’t have sex. And you’re still mad at me after I gave you an orgasm?”

“It was okay.”

A smile curved at the corner of my lips. “Really? Just okay? I think I can live with that, considering that I haven’t fucked you with my dick yet.”

“Your ego needs a check. And you have such a dirtiest mouth.” Her voice was quiet and had softened. She relaxed in my arms as she draped her arm on my abdomen, tracing her fingers on the waistband of my boxers. I knew exactly what she was doing—torturing me.,

“I haven’t done any dirty things to you, River.” I ran my fingers through her soft and silky hair as she hid her face in the crook of my neck.

“You can go now. You don’t have to watch me till I fall asleep. I will be fine.”

“Do you think I would go once I tasted the woman I’ve ever wanted? I’m not going anywhere. Since I joined you in bed, you are mine now to pleasure, to make you happy, and give you everything I can. And don’t dare complain if you would see me every day, take you where ever and whenever I want. That’s the price you would pay for being with me. Do you think you can handle that?”

She looked at me with a shock in her eyes.

“You should handle me, accept my flaws, my darkness, what I’ve done before you came to my life, and who I really am that you’re about to find out.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Her voice shook in the end.

“Don’t be scared of me. I would never hurt you. I would rather kill myself than raise a hand on you.” I felt the long deep breath she let go. I scared her. Now she realized the price of being my woman. “Now, get some sleep. It’s late. I have work tomorrow.” I kissed the top of her head.

“I like your tattoo,” she murmured.

“Sleep.”

I woke up with no idea where I was. For a moment, my mind was blank, then something stirred beside me, and I felt the weight of an arm wrapped around my waist, so warm and soft. It was River, still sleeping soundly beside me.

I slowly lifted her arm and pulled myself out of her carefully to not wake her up. I rose just the alarm on my phone about to go off.

I went to her bathroom and found a new toothbrush in her medicine cabinet. I did the quickest shower. When I went to her living room, my suit was already there. I had work today, a meeting, and I had to finalize the plan.

I checked her one more time before I left. She was in the same position as I closed the door behind me.

“Take care of her, or you started searching for a job,” I warned Conner before I climbed into my waiting car to send me to the Selik Tower.

“I will, sir.”

I met my brother in the conference room. We were thirty minutes early for the meeting today.

“I heard you’re staying in your penthouse.” There was no hint of anger and irritation in his voice anymore, which surprised me.

“Yeah.”

“Good for you, bro. This would mean that I would see you more often?”
