Diamond in the Dust (Lost Kings MC 18)

Finally, she pulls away, staring at me with a satisfied smile on her reddened lips.

“That was quicker than I planned, chickadee.”

Her eyes gleam. “Oops. We can try again.”

I squeeze her ass as she carefully lifts her body away from mine. Her knees are all red from the hard tub and I stop to rub my thumb over the marks. “Shit.”

“I’m fine.” She glances at the bathroom floor. “There’s a flood out there, though.”

I haul myself up using the metal bar bolted into the wall. “You’ve screwed me into old age,” I tease.

“Aw, poor Rooster.”

I gesture toward the shower. “Let’s rinse off, then I’ll clean this up.”

She scampers over to the shower stall and flicks the water on, waiting a few seconds until it warms.

Her eyelids are drooping by the time I finish rinsing her off. “Let me tuck you in.”

“I’ll help you clean up in here.” Her protest is swallowed in a wide yawn.

In the bedroom, she slips into one of my T-shirts and a pair of cute red panties before crawling under the covers.

“I’ll be right back,” I promise.

It takes longer than I anticipated to clean the mess we made so we don’t slip and kill ourselves in the middle of the night. I end up using every last towel the hotel gave us.

Finally, I slip into bed next to my girl.

She mumbles some sleepy noises and inches closer to me.

“Thank you for doing this.” She sighs and rests her head on my shoulder.

“What’s that?”

“Finding the hotel room.” She peers up at me. “Hands down, best bath I’ve ever taken.”

Rumbling with laughter I pull her closer. “Same here, chickadee.”

I reach out to the nightstand on my side of the bed and slide open the drawer.

“Whatcha doin’?” she mumbles.

I pull out the vibrator Heidi had given Shelby back in Virginia.

Shelby’s eyes widen and she sits up. “I forgot about that.”

“I didn’t.”

“Obviously.” She laughs. “What are you planning to do with it?”

I flick it on to the lowest setting, the humming noise barely audible. “Test it out.” I touch the head to one of her nipples.

She gasps at the contact and scoots away.

“No?” I flick it off. “Too much?”

She lowers her lashes, giving me a sultry look that turns my insides to lava. “I can think of better places to test it.”

Now we’re talking. “Come here.” I pat the space beside me. “Actually, you know what?” I sit up and grab a few pillows, tossing them toward the foot of the bed. Her curious eyes follow every move I make which only ratchets up my excitement. I slip my hands underneath her body. She laugh-yelps when I scoop her up and turn her diagonally. “Lift up,” I urge, slipping a pillow under her hips.

“I thought you’d be tired after all that activity.”

“Told you I had lots planned.” I settle between her legs and roll the vibrator over the soft skin of her inner thighs.

“You’re so…focused and matter-of-fact about this.” She giggles and adjusts her legs a few times.

“I’ve been fantasizing about using it with you for a while now.”

“You fantasize about…me?”

I frown at her. “Who the hell else would I be thinking about?”

“I mean, you’re with me all the time. You can have me whenever you want, so I didn’t know if you had some list of actresses or porn stars or—”

“No, Shelby. Just you. Starring in many, many filthy fantasies.” I briefly squeeze my eyes shut and curve my lips into a dirty smile. “Many.”

“I’m scared to ask.” While she says she’s scared, her skin flushes pink and her face is soft and relaxed. Her voice light and teasing.

I let out a low, sinister laugh. “You should be.”

“Bring it on.”

Damn if she doesn’t know how much I love a challenge. “Well, bathtub orgasms are checked off my list.”

“I don’t know if anything can top that.”

“Let’s find out.”

“Wait.” She sits up and presses her palm against my cheek. “Kiss me, first.”

“With pleasure.”

She slides her lips against mine, drawing me closer and closer until I’m pressing her into the mattress. She hooks her legs around my waist and smiles up at me.

“Easy, chickadee. Don’t derail my plans.” I kiss her neck and over her breasts, slowly working my way down her body. At her hip, I sit up and shift so I’m sitting by her feet. She raises herself on her elbows.

“What are you doing?”

I pick up the vibrator and flick it on again. “Searching for the right spot.”

“Oh.” Her eyes widen as she stares at it. “I’m nervous. It’s frickin’ huge.”

“I’m not putting it in you.”

“Yeah, I know. But it’s really buzzy.” She slips her hand between her legs, shielding herself. “What if it numbs my clit and I can’t come for days or something?”

I can’t help it. I squeeze my eyes shut and laugh so hard the bed shakes. “I promise I won’t let that happen.”
