Dishearten – Greer Rivers

OceanofPDF.com h God. Oh God. Did I really just say that? You. One syllable. Sitting here between us, naked and completely out in the open, while Hatter goes very, very still. Then, slowly, those dark eyes behind the mask go from warm to something that makes my stomach drop straight through the loveseat cushion.

It’s not the actual color. Well—okay, it is kind of about the color. But it’s also a change in his entire expression. The way his lids lower. The way his jaw below his mask tightens. The faint, wicked curve at the corner of his mouth that my dark romance-loving heart immediately swoons for. Undeniably attractive and almost cruel. Antihero romance for the win. “You’ve been thinking about me, Alice?” His voice has dropped an entire octave.

I feel it more than hear it. “What exactly have you been doing while you’ve been thinking of me?” The way he asks, I’d swear he already knows the answer. And for the life of me—maybe it’s Smoke, but it’s more probably just straight up desire —the truth comes out anyway. “I—” I swallow. “You know.” “I want to hear you say it. Have you been touching yourself?”

I nod slowly. “Y-yes.” Without breaking eye contact, he reaches over and takes my hand. I watch, completely unable to breathe, as he lifts my fingers—index and middle—and presses his lips to each one in soft, delicate, unhurried kisses. “With these?” he asks against my fingertips. “Have you been touching yourself with these fingers while you think of me?” “Yes,” I whisper. My belly leaps and my mouth is suddenly full of saliva—fine, drool, alright?

I’m drooling over this man right now. He turns my hand and presses his open mouth to my palm, and I somehow feel that kiss pulse straight to my core. “What about here?” He lips brush the heel of my hand. “Did you press this part against your clit? Move the way I moved you against my cock in the Flower Room?”

“Oh my God,” I breathe. His smirk should be illegal. It really, truly should be. He leans in, and I think he’s going to kiss me. I lick my lips readying for it, but he leans past and whispers in my ear. “Do you want to feel what it’s like when your romance books come to life?” “Yes.” I nod again, because apparently, that’s all I am now.
