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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the actual color. Well\u2014okay, it is kind of about the color. But it\u2019s 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. \u201cYou\u2019ve been thinking about me, Alice?\u201d His voice has dropped an entire octave.<\/p>\n

I feel it more than hear it. \u201cWhat exactly have you been doing while you\u2019ve been thinking of me?\u201d The way he asks, I\u2019d swear he already knows the answer. And for the life of me\u2014maybe it\u2019s Smoke, but it\u2019s more probably just straight up desire \u2014the truth comes out anyway. \u201cI\u2014\u201d I swallow. \u201cYou know.\u201d \u201cI want to hear you say it. Have you been touching yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n

I nod slowly. \u201cY-yes.\u201d Without breaking eye contact, he reaches over and takes my hand. I watch, completely unable to breathe, as he lifts my fingers\u2014index and middle\u2014and presses his lips to each one in soft, delicate, unhurried kisses. \u201cWith these?\u201d he asks against my fingertips. \u201cHave you been touching yourself with these fingers while you think of me?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d I whisper. My belly leaps and my mouth is suddenly full of saliva\u2014fine, drool, alright?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 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. \u201cWhat about here?\u201d He lips brush the heel of my hand. \u201cDid you press this part against your clit? Move the way I moved you against my cock in the Flower Room?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my God,\u201d I breathe. His smirk should be illegal. It really, truly should be. He leans in, and I think he\u2019s going to kiss me. I lick my lips readying for it, but he leans past and whispers in my ear. \u201cDo you want to feel what it\u2019s like when your romance books come to life?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d I nod again, because apparently, that\u2019s all I am now.<\/p>\n
