In His Eyes

He shushes me, shaking his head. My stomach flips as he slowly kneels in front of me with a playful grin on his face. His hands glide up my legs, hiking up my gown. Once it’s over my hips, he dips his head between my legs and kisses me through my panties.

I should put a stop to this, but my tired body suddenly feels very awake and greedy for more, my hips rolling into him.

“What are we doing?” I manage, my voice quivering.

He glances up and hooks his fingers into my panties, watching me through hooded eyes as he slowly shimmies the thin material down. I step out of them without hesitation, biting back a grin as he stuffs them in his pocket.

“I’m going to have my snack, and you’re going to enjoy yourself.” He lifts my leg and secures it over his shoulder. “Then we will both sleep well tonight.”

He grips my hips, his head diving back between my legs. The feeling of his warm mouth on my bare center causes me to gasp. My back arches as he sucks on my clit, my head dizzy with pure ecstasy. His tongue moves up and down, lapping up the remnants of my last orgasm before swirling around the sensitive bundle of nerves. He repeats this process in a rhythmic pattern until my vision starts to blur and my core is aching for a release.

“Oh god…please, Dallas.”

He answers my plea, pushing a finger inside of me to send me over the edge. The fall is even more glorious than the first one, each tremble of my body sending me to the brink of oblivion. By the time the feeling starts to subside, my body is completely spent. It’s as if every restless night I’ve had is hitting me all at once, my arms and legs like Jell-O.

The next thing I know, Dallas is carrying me out of the kitchen like I’m a small child, my head resting on his chest as he cradles me.

“Where are we going?” I ask, my eyelids too heavy to lift.

“I’m taking you to bed.”

I hum before yawning. “Oh, is it time for the main course?”

He chuckles, kissing the top of my head. “You need to sleep. There will be plenty of time for that later.”

I pry my eyes open as he gently lays me on my bed, smiling as he tucks me under the covers. “Does everyone get the full-service treatment?”

He frowns, clearly not amused by my joke. “We need to get you a dress this weekend.”

We?

“For what?”

“I’ve got a banquet to attend next week.”

Holy shit. Is he trying to ask me out on a date?

“And what does that have to do with me?” I press.

He lets out a heavy sigh. “You’re coming with me.”

Apparently, he still needs to work on the asking instead of telling thing.

“Dallas…” I lift an eyebrow and press my lips, feigning annoyance.

He smirks, leaning down as he cups my face. “Will you please accompany me to the banquet?”

My heart flutters, a smile blooming across my face. “That’s much better. And I would love to.”

He gives me a chaste kiss before standing straight. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

I fight the urge to beg him to stay with me as he turns and walks out the door. He was right, though. I’m so tired but there’s no way we’d be sleeping if he stayed. And the last thing I need is for Kellan to come running in here first thing to find a naked Dallas in my bed.

This situation is messy and complicated. There’s so much we need to figure out. But for tonight, I just want to float on this high of orgasms and possibility.
