Chapter 11
Orson was on me the second the shadows dropped. I had barely turned when he pulled me back into a bruising kiss, pushing me against the wall as he ravaged me.
It was a plundering. A ransacking. His tongue swept over mine in a deep, thorough exploration, a gasp swallowed by his answering groan as he pressed his body flush against mine.
Good gods, I may have underestimated a few things.
âIs it always that hard?â I rasped between kisses, pushing Orson back so I could breathe for a moment and contemplate my life choices.
âYes,â Orson growled, his eyes practically glowing with need and his voice pitched low.
That was all the explanation I got as he reached for me again, his mouth covering mine with a needy growl of desire. He lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me up the stairs.
Gods, there was so much of him and so little of me comparatively. I was a bit worried he might actually be capable of hurting me, based on the size of him hard against me.
âIâll take my time,â he growled, dropping me on the bed and looming above me, where he tore off his shirt. âTry for gentle.â
âAnd what if I donât want you to?â I sat up, reaching for the ties on his trousers.
He laughed, stilling my hand as he bent to kiss me again. âBelieve me, Little Thief,â he said, speaking against my lips. âI donât really want to either. But I also donât want to hurt you, and Iâm significantly larger than you are.â
âRub it in, why donât you,â I breathed, gasping as he pulled my borrowed shirt over my head and untied the bandages.
âIf this isnât healed enough,â he warned, beginning to unbind me with his eyes eagerly devouring each new inch of skin he revealed, âthen this stops.â
âYou could just leave the bandages on,â I argued, willing my body to be healed enough for his approval.
âI will not take you by half measures,â Orson argued, his hands hot against my skin as he bared my breasts completely. He cupped my breasts, gently stroking my nipples with the pads of his thumbs. I shuddered, the sensation both foreign and somehow familiar. Right. âAnd if I canât have all of you, then Iâd rather wait.â
âSo demanding,â I sighed as he peeled off the dressing and grunted in satisfaction. The stitches looked even better than they had this morning, the pink puckered scar faded significantly.
âThese need to come out,â Orson commented, running a finger over his handiwork.
I shivered again. âTomorrow,â I protested, reaching up to pull his face down to mine.
He growled as he covered me, his weight sinking down as he leaned into the kiss. I could tell he was bracing himself on the bed, the muscles of his back tense against my hands. What would it feel like to have all of his weight on top of me?
âMore,â I commanded, trying to pull him down farther. âYou donât need to be gentle.
