Chapter Twenty

“You went all out,” I said as Fox pulled up to the hotel. 

He shrugged, “I figured we might as well stay somewhere nice since we’re only staying one night.”

He held the door open for me as we walked into the expansive lobby. I noticed the receptionist perked up when her eyes landed on Fox. As we made it to the counter, Fox released my hand to pull out his wallet. She flipped her hair and smiled widely, “Welcome to the JW Marriott. I’m Megan, how can I help you?”

“We’re checking in. It’ll be under Nicholas Grey.”

I wandered off to look at the art around the lobby. Megan took that as her opportunity to flirt with Fox, “You’re in town for the Naval Ball? I love a man in uniform.”

Fox chuckled, “Yeah, my girlfriend does too, or at least I hope she does.”

I came up behind Fox and hugged him, “You know I do, babe.”

I kissed his shoulder as I let go of his waist. Megan glared at me when our eyes met, causing me to smirk. “Enjoy your stay. Again my name is Megan. Please let me know if you need anything,” she said, only looking at Fox.

“We will. Thanks, Morgan,” I said as we walked away.

Megan cleared her throat, “Megan.”

“Right, Megan,” I responded.

“I can’t believe you,” Fox mind linked me as we made it to the elevator.

“What? She shouldn’t flirt while I’m right there,” I linked back. 

He laughed, “Good to know even though we’re mated, you’re still a bit possessive of me.”

“Of course. You’re mine and I’m yours,” I said with a kiss to his cheek. We stepped into our room and I laughed, “Fox. This is absurd.”

We entered into a dining room with a table, chairs, and a television. Just past the dining room to the right of the door, I could see the living room with a few chairs and a sectional sofa with a chaise. To the left was a hallway, “I think our bedroom is down there.”

When we walked into our bedroom, it was no less absurd. The room was huge with a king sized bed in the middle and a small sitting area inside the door. “Fox, seriously, this was too much.”

He kissed me, “No,” he kissed me again, “It,” and again, “wasn’t.”

I hugged him tightly, “I love you.”

He gave me a squeeze and pulled back so he could cup my face in his hands. For a moment he just stared at me, gently caressing either side of my face with his thumbs, “You deserve the world,” he kissed me on my forehead, “I love you more than I thought possible.”

I kissed him roughly. He quickly undressed me and threw me on the bed. My back arched as he slipped two fingers inside me. He gently bit my lip, causing me to moan. My moan became louder as he began rubbing my clit. It wasn’t long before I was coming hard. Instead of pulling his fingers out of me, he moved a little further down, latching onto one of my nipples and biting it. He began pumping his fingers in and out of me again, making me squirm and whine, “Fox, please.”

“Please what, my queen?” He said, moving from my left nipple to the right one.

I let out another whine, “Please.”

He kissed and nipped his way down my body until he came to a stop at my wet center. My back arched as his lips latched onto my clit. He began thrashing it with his tongue as his fingers continued to pump in and out of my furiously. “What do you want, my queen?”

I moaned as his breath tickled my clit, “To come.”

“As you wish, my queen.” He sucked hard on my clit and made a come here motion inside me. I screamed as my orgasm washed over me. Fox kept pumping in and out of me, prolonging my orgasm. He kissed me and I could taste myself on his lips. 

Fox walked into the bathroom, “Where are you going?” I asked before hearing water from the bathtub start. He came back into the bedroom, “What are you doing?”

He leaned over me and kissed me roughly, “Running you a bath.”

My brow furrowed, but I didn’t say anything. Once the water had filled the tub, he picked me up bridal style and carried me into the bathroom. “Seriously. Do you have bad news to tell me?”

He laughed, “I can’t spoil you?”

I let out a sigh when he set me down in the warm water, “You can, but you’re going to get a lot of questions when you do.”

He smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. “I just want to make up for everything.”

My head tilted to one side, and I caressed his cheek, “You’ve more than made up for it. You’re here.” 

He looked down as he played with my hand, “I know, but I still want to.”

I brought his face up so he was looking at me, “I thank the goddess every day for you.” I kissed him, trying to pour everything I felt for him into it. “Now get your ass in here.”

He smiled and quickly undressed. We shifted so I was sitting between his legs and leaning against him. He kissed my shoulder before starting to bathe me. We didn’t say much as we bathed one another. 

Once we dried off, I dragged Fox back into the bedroom. I pushed him onto the bed and he smiled at me. I pulled a condom out of his bag and slid it over his hard length. As I straddled him, I kissed him roughly. My back arched as I sat all the way down on him. He grabbed onto my hips and somehow thrust deeper into me, causing me to moan. I fell forward, putting my hands on either side of his head. His grip held firm on my hips as he began pumping in and out of me, setting a punishing pace. I reached between my legs and began rubbing my clit, and soon I was coming hard. Fox followed me, coming not long after me. I collapsed on top of him, “I love you.”

He hummed and patted my ass, “I love you too.”

He rolled us so my back was on the bed, and went to the bathroom to dispose of the condom and grab a rag. He curled himself around me and we quickly fell asleep.

Fox rolled off of me panting, “Fuck. I wish we could just spend all day in bed.”

“We could, but you would probably be court martialed.”

He let out another chuckle, “Not for not attending the ball, but I would get into a lot of trouble.”

I brought his lips down to mine and gave him a searing kiss before breaking it, “We better get ready then.” He slapped my ass on my way to the bathroom, making me turn back to him, “Hop to it Seal!”

“Ma’am, yes ma’am,” he replied with a cheeky smile on his face. We showered quickly and I used my ability to dry off both of us. “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that.”

“It’s a massive time saver though,” I smirked, “Especially since someone can’t control himself.”

He barked a laugh, “Me?” He grabbed my hips and brought me to him, “It takes two to tango babe.”

I failed to hold in my laughter, “Two to tango?” I giggled again, “Please what other sage wisdom do you have, oh wise one?”

“Okay smart ass,” he responded with a bad attempt at a stern look on his face before kissing me hard.

“See? Can’t control yourself,” I said against his lips.

He laughed against my lips but broke the kiss, looking down at me, “Where you’re concerned babe? Never.”

I kissed him again, “Good.” His hands began to roam my naked body, “Oh no you don’t, mister. We need to get ready. We’re going to be late enough as it is.” He growled low, “growl all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact we’re already running late.”

He relented and released me, “Let’s get this night over with.”
