He sighs and closes his eyes for a moment before he opens them to watch me slowly engulf the head of his cock in my mouth.
His hand finds my hair and tangles his fingers in it. I start to bob my head up and down, and he grunts.
“Penny…” he murmurs. “Someone could…”
I pull off him. “No one is going to disturb us,” I say, breathing heavily. I get up and slowly lower my thong before I slide onto his lap, one knee on either side of him. I take his cock in my hand and slowly lower myself to guide him into me.
“Tonight, I don’t want you to worry about me,” I say as I put my hands on his shoulders. “I want you to come whenever you’re ready to.”
“Okay,” he murmurs. “Can I kiss you?”
I lean down and kiss him deeply as I start rocking my hips. I move hard and fast and feel him grab my hips. Then I feel him spank my right flank and groan into his mouth. I break the kiss to tip my head back. I move harder and faster. I clench around him, and he spanks me again.
I bury my face in his neck and start nipping at the skin. I’m starting to figure out what it is he likes so much. I bite softly.
He grips my hips and moves with me, and suddenly, it feels like he’s hitting me from a different angle because of the power being his thrusts.
I slide my arms around his neck.
We kiss passionately as he moves before he suddenly breaks the kiss to bite my shoulder and buries himself deep inside of me. He looks down at me with hooded eyes, and I smile breathlessly.
Chapter 21 - Kervyn
I haven’t slept a wink. Penny is breathing deeply as she lies in my arms on the sofa. We went at it another two times before we curled up together. In my arms, she rests with her chest on my head. My jacket is covering her to protect her from the cold.
I’ve been stroking her back for what feels like hours, and I’m sure at one point I dozed off, but now I’m staring at the ceiling with a sense of panic settling in.
I shake her softly. “Penny? Penny, wake up. It’s like five in the morning. Let’s get you home.”
She sleepily untangles herself from me and starts to find her clothes. She looks a mess, and it’s cute, which compounds my panic.
I summon Luka and then get dressed. By the time we’re clothed, he’s there, grumpy for being woken up.
I send her home with him, opting to stay at the office for a little bit.
Once she’s gone, I pick up the phone and dial Danil.
He’s already awake, as usual, and answers my call almost immediately. “Is something wrong?”
“Yes,” I say, getting up and pacing. “We have a problem.”
“What is it?” he asks, sounding alert.
“I thought I loved Penny, but I didn’t know what love is. I’ve fallen for her, Danil. I will burn this world to the ground for her. I can’t think about anything but her. I want our lives to be completely entwined, and at the same time, I want to protect her from the darkness of our world.” I sigh.
“They’ll see this as a weakness,” Danil says seriously. “They’ll target her to get to you. This isn’t a smart idea, Kervyn.”
“No one would fucking dare,” I snarl. I take a deep breath. “No one has crossed me before, and no one is going to cross me now. No one touches her. I need you, Arseny, and Luka to make sure everyone knows that. Throughout every family.”
“It’s your choice in the end, Kervyn, but I just hope you can trust Penny. If not, you may come to regret your decision.” He hangs up on me, and I stew for a few moments.
I go home and check in on Penny. She’s asleep in my bed, so I sneak to the guest bathroom to have a shower before I have breakfast.
My phone rings as I finish showering, and I answer it. “Yes?”
“Is that how you greet your mama?” my mom says into the phone.
“Sorry, Mama. It was a late night,” I say. “Is something wrong?”
“Yes. I received a wedding invite but haven’t even met my daughter-in-law. I am informed I’m going to have a grandchild, but I don’t even know their mother. I want to meet her and see what has you so busy you can’t even remember to come to family dinner.” She sounds stern. I know she will give Penny a hard time, and I was trying to avoid that. She’s called me out directly, though, so I can’t even try to lie.
“We’ll come for dinner tonight,” I assure her. “Make something delicious. Penny will be happy to meet you.”
“She has no choice. She has to see me for the rest of her life,” my mother says. “I’ll see you later tonight.”
I sigh and hang up. Seriously? My mother, of all people? That’s who Danil confides in.
I potter around the house for a few hours before I go upstairs to wake Penny. “Penny? Penny?”
She slowly opens her eyes. “Is it time to eat?” she asks curiously. “I want pickles.”
I smile. “No, sleepyhead. But we do have something exciting happening today. You’re going to meet my mother.” I try to sound as casual as I can.
She sits straight up—not the reaction I wanted. “Your mother?”
“Yes. Look, she’s a bit of a bitch, but I’ve seen you hold your own. You have to stand up for yourself,” I say, taking hold of her hand. “You’re feisty when you want to be. Just try to let that shine through tonight, and she’ll leave you alone.”
“I feel sick,” she groans. I’m about to say we can’t use that to get out of it when she gets up and runs to the bathroom to throw up.
