Their Hidden Princess (Zora and Maximus) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236

Zora

I cracked my fingers against the table for the hundredth time causing Valentin’s head to jerk up from the reports he was scanning. He raised one eyebrow, and I slunk back into my chair.

“Sorry,” I grumbled.

“Why don’t you go unpack?” he suggested. “Maybe take a nap or something. A shower?”

I smiled slightly at him before I trudged up the stairs and to my room. I walked in and threw my body onto the bed, much as I had hours earlier. After my second episode, Kairos had shifted and taken off. I didn’t know why but the whole thing made my stomach turn over. Why was he so hesitant towards bonding me?

A soft rapt echoed through my room. I lifted my head, expecting to see Valentin checking on me but I was met with honey gold eyes. I scrambled to get up and meet Kairos where he was lingering in my doorway.

“Hi,” I said, quickly.

Kairos said nothing.

I frowned in response and opened my mouth to explain or apologize or something. His hand came up and covered my mouth. I squeaked in shock as he did. It wasn’t a rough hold, just brash.

“Don’t say anything,” he said. “You don’t need to apologize. I do.”

I furrowed my brows, expecting him to drop his hand. When he didn’t, I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to continue. He sucked in a shaky breath.

I stared at him, slack jawed behind the hand that was still covering my mouth. He slowly dropped it to hang loosely at his side. I didn’t have words at that moment, only actions. I surged forwards and wrapped my arms around his neck, tugging his lips down to meet mine.

The flames inside of me felt like they’d been doused in gasoline. They surged higher and higher and soon I was more aware of the burn than I was of the way Kairos was straining to kiss me back with just as much bite.

His hands slid under my ass and he lifted me off my feet. He nearly sprinted across the room to pin me to my bed. His hands were everything, everywhere and all at once. They shredded my shirts as they ripped it off my body. Then, with a juxtaposing gentleness, were kneading my chest.

He slipped his fingers under my bra and thumbed my nipple. I arched up into him, moaning into his mouth as I went. He took the moment to work his tongue further into my mouth, nipping and sucking. As I was riding the high of his hands on my chest and tongue in my mouth, he ripped my bra straight down the center. I gasped as he moved his mouth down to suck one nipple into it.

My eyes flew open, the white ceiling blurring slightly as the pleasure reached every fiber of my being. Unfortunately, it disappeared just as quickly as I noticed the door to my room was still wide open.
