Chapter 31 Vampires Do Burn #2
“Don’t look away.” A cool hand brings me back, holding me steadily by the chin.
The subtle trace of a smile tugs at his lips.
There isn’t a single trace of tension in his expression.
He’s the most at peace I’ve ever seen him.
Seeing that makes me feel more at ease, more confident to say it without it sounding like a question again.
“I do… I do love you, Gray.” This time I don’t stumble.
“Mm.” He cocks his head to the side, smirking. “Much better.”
I frown. “That’s not what I was hoping you’d say.”
“What do you mean? I’ve told you in countless ways already how I feel.” Gray’s hands move along my hips, using them to pull me fully into his lap. The driver’s seat is cramped enough as it is without both of our bodies taking up space.
“It’s not the same,” I argue.
“Ah, you want to hear it.” He draws me closer, his scent hypnotic and alluring. It’s ten times more potent in the cramped space of the car. “I love you, Millie.”
“Much better.” I sigh.
“Satisfied?” He chuckles, pulling lazily at the straps of my dress.
“Yeah,” I say, a little dazed. “You?”
“Not even a little.” Gray captures my lips in a heated kiss, nipping at my bottom lip until I open to him.
His tongue finds mine, and they tangle together.
For a split second, we separate, and his eyes drop to my chest. The straps of my dress have come down, exposing my breasts.
The glow of my pearlescent skin in the darkness of the car is like its own light.
I look down the curve of my breasts and suck in a breath when I feel his mouth close over one pert nipple.
His grip shifts, grabbing the swell of my rear, all while his mouth feasts on my breasts.
Somewhere in the heat of our coiled fervor, his cock is freed from his pants and my panties are ripped away. A whimper leaves my lips; I can barely find any footing as I try to satisfy my need.
“Tell me what you want, Millie,” he hums against my skin.
“You,” I breathe, heady with want, “inside of me.”
He lifts my hips with ease and helps me slip myself over the tip of him.
At this angle, the little curve of his shaft slides against the tender part of my walls in the most delicious way.
I can’t suppress the moan that falls from my lips when I finally settle over him, fully seated in his lap.
It’s an awkward position, but I don’t hate it.
The urgency and desire to be closer overpower every other thought.
We push and pull until we’re fitted together like two pieces of a puzzle.
Gray takes control, sliding me up and down along his cock at a greedy pace.
He’s quick and sure, slamming me down again and again until I can barely catch my breath.
My skin heats, prickling with vibrant sensations all along my body from the pressure of his cock stretching me.
Finally, as he grasps my waist, his movements become more hurried.
I hang on, tightening as my own climax reaches its peak.
He follows after, pulling me in for a series of delicate kisses until both of our orgasms have subsided.
I slump forward, collapsing against him. The car is suddenly much warmer than it was before. “I don’t think I can move.”
It’s the truth. My legs are cramped up, and I’m pretty sure one of my arms is asleep. Gray only laughs. It’s short and breathy, and even though I know he can’t technically breathe, I’m hoping that he’s just as out of breath as I am.
“I don’t think we have much of a choice,” he says.
I sigh. “Just a few more minutes like this.”
If I wanted to, I could fall asleep. Right here. There’s no end to how sore my body would be for sleeping in this position, but it would be worth every ache and stiff joint.
“Afraid we can’t,” he says, exasperated. “Tannis is waiting for us.”
“Oh no.” I can only hope that they just showed up.
“They’re right outside the car.”
As if to prove it, there’s an impatient knock on the window.
The realization has me scrambling off of Gray’s lap back into the passenger’s seat.
He blows out an unnecessary breath and rakes a hand through his silver hair.
With lightning reflexes, he zips himself up and brushes a kiss across my brow.
“I’ll go ahead. You take as much time as you need.”
Once he’s out of the car, I pull at my dress and hastily slip my breasts back into place.
I reach for the wet towels by my feet when I feel the vibration of my phone through the fabric.
Hurriedly, I search until my fingers skim across the glass surface of its face and pull it out.
The glow of the phone lights up the back of the car, and against the soft background, a new notification is waiting for me.
At first, I’m hopeful that it’s Jill, but it isn’t her—it’s Dax.
TEXT: (1) UNREAD MESSAGE
Oh shit, I think to myself. The screen slides open and I pull up my texts.
DAX: Can you come in early tomorrow? Alone. We need to talk.
An unpleasant feeling curls in the pit of my stomach.
If this is about tonight, then Jill must have told him everything.
I didn’t consider that she might go to Dax for help or support.
If she exposed me, then she exposed Gray, too.
I bite down on my bottom lip and wait for my nerves to settle.
Then, with swift and sure fingers, I tap out a quick reply.
ME: I’ll be there.
Just as it sends and the little ‘delivered’ shifts to ‘read,’ the car door opens. Gray pops his handsome face back inside and offers a hand. I tuck my phone into my side as I pile up the towels in my arms.
“Everything okay?” he asks as I stumble out beside him. Tannis isn’t there anymore. I assume Gray got rid of them, though I doubt they escaped without an earful.
Looking into his red eyes, I lick my lips, unsure if I should say anything at all.
If there’s a chance that Jill is with Dax, then this might be my only shot to approach the issue head-on.
If Dax is around, Jill won’t do anything crazy.
With Gray, though? She’d probably set him on fire again, but ten times worse than before.
“Yup.” I nod, plastering on my best smile. “Everything is great.”
