Ash looked around, her crystal blue eyes wide. One and a half of the walls had floor to ceiling black bookshelves which held all of my comics, graphic novels and hardbacks. The rest of the walls and ceiling were painted a midnight blue. Scattered across the ceiling were tiny white flecks which represented the night’s sky. Quinn had commissioned someone to paint several of the constellations for me. There was one star brighter than the rest which was situated right above my bed. The northern star.
My bed sat in the middle of the room, up against the wall which had a huge graphic print of Batman above it. All of my furniture was black, which I suppose was a little morbid, but I didn’t like bright colours much. I had my own bathroom too, just like we all did.
The curtains of the big window on the last wall were open, allowing the sunlight to stream in. A beam of it hit Ash directly, lighting up her blonde hair and making her look angelic. I swear it made my heart stop.
“I don’t know what I was expecting, but… it feels very much like you.”
“Dark and twisty?”
She grinned.
“Just a little.”
“Do you want to sit?”
I indicated the comfy dark grey sofa I had underneath the window where I spent many hours reading when I wasn’t in my conservatory. Quinn, Xav and Eric mostly left me to my own devices. I’d always been solitary, preferring my own company to anyone else’s. When Quinn did call on me, I didn’t hesitate to help since he had my loyalty even if sometimes I didn’t really want to go out.
When she didn’t object, I pulled her over to the sofa and we both sat. It felt weird, having someone in my space. Having a girl here. Only Quinn came in my room and usually it was because he was agitated so wasn’t prepared to wait for me to emerge.
“So this is where you hide.”
I shrugged and leant back against the cushions, watching her make herself comfortable with her legs curled up next to her. She looked so perfect there like she belonged next to me. How could I have ever thought having her in here would be a bad thing? That it would make me crazy. I mean it did on some level. I wanted to ravage her unlike anything else. Use her lithe little body in all the ways I’d imagined. My mouth watered at the thought of her naked, waiting for me, begging me, writhing beneath me as I marked her over and over again.
I looked away, feeling a little hot under the collar. Those thoughts weren’t welcome right now. Not when I had temptation staring me in the fucking face.
“You have me in your room, Ror… what are you going to do with me?”
I got startled by her question. My head whipped around and I caught her biting her lip with amusement in her eyes. She was teasing me. I was right, this really did feel like we were teenagers. I shook my head and smiled.
“I really did bring you in here to show you my comic collection.”
She leant forward a little.
“Okay, if you say so.”
“You don’t believe me?”
She shrugged and spread her hands.
“I’ve never had a girl in my room before and I wasn’t going to ask the others what I’m supposed to do since they’d likely just take the piss.”
Her smile softened.
“You don’t have to do anything. Also, it’s wise of you not to ask, they’d probably think it was for tips on how to please me in bed or something.”
I had a pretty good idea of how to please Ash already. She was so responsive to my touch, like she was starved of it. No worries on that score. I’d make her putty in my hands.
“I don’t need tips,” I muttered.
Even the thought of asking any of them how to please a woman made my skin itch. I might not have had a girlfriend, but I wasn’t a virgin either. Instructions weren’t necessary.
“If anything they should be asking you for kissing lessons.”
I stared at her, quirking my eyebrow up.
“Excuse me?”
“When you kiss me, it’s like I’m being devoured, but in a good way. Has anyone ever told you, you’re a little feral?”
I felt my face growing hot. No one had ever really told me I was good at kissing before, though honestly, I hadn’t kissed many girls.
“No.”
“I like it… a lot.”
My eyes fell on her lips. The thought of kissing her sent blood rushing down to my dick. Something I’d already been trying to keep in check but talk of being intimate with her hadn’t helped matters at all. She was right there though. Just a foot away from me.
Kiss her. You know you want to. You want her.
I didn’t just want to kiss her. I wanted to possess her completely. Make her mine every way I could. She’d already been marked yesterday but it wasn’t enough. Nothing would ever be enough when it came to Ash.
Reaching out, I wrapped a hand around her ankle and tugged. My other hand found its way up her calf, pulling until she was flat on her back, her legs bent at the knees. Then I was leaning over her, staring down at this beautiful girl who’d utterly enraptured me. Ash’s eyes drew me in, taunting me with the desire simmering within them.
“You like the way I kiss?”
She nodded, biting her lip. I leant closer and tugged her lip from her teeth with mine. I sucked it into my mouth, watching her reaction. Her pupils dilated and she sucked in a breath.
“This lip is mine,” I whispered. “The only teeth that should be on it are mine.”
The only place we were touching was our mouths, brushing against each other but not quite kissing.
“Ror…”
“You’re too tempting, little star, shattering my self-control with every fucking breath you take. I want to be wrapped up in you. I want your skin against mine. I want you so
