Air of Seduction (Elemental Enforcers #3)

Chapter 28

I frown as I picture the area around Temple church. It’s been a while since I was there, but I still remember what it looks like. “The southern wall is visible from several buildings. It will look suspicious if a lot of us show up and start investigating the area. It’s better if only a few of us go, but even then we have to be careful not to draw attention to ourselves. Ideally, we should wait until nightfall, but that’s wasting precious time.”

“You, me, and Lucas are going.” Aidan’s gaze meets mine. “It’s already been decided.”

My hand on Payton’s waist tightens before I can stop myself, but I quickly loosen my grip. I don’t want to leave her side for even a minute, but I know that’s the mating bond trying to push me to seal the bond between us. It’s too early for that, though, and in the meantime, I have to do what I can to find and destroy the master.

“Okay.” I nod. “When are we leaving? I’d like to get this over and done with as soon as possible.” So, I can get back to my mate.

“As soon as Lucas comes back downstairs. Erica wasn’t impressed that she couldn’t come.” Aidan grins.

“Neither am I.” Ingrid’s eyes narrow on her mate, but her expression soon softens into a smile. “But I’m sure I can come up with a suitable way for you to make it up to me.”

The earth elemental laughs. “I’m sure you can, little duckling.” His eyes come back to mine. “By the way, there was nothing useful on the dead vamp’s phone.”

The door to the office opens, and Lucas enters. “Are we doing this?” He sounds as impatient as I feel.

“Yes.” I look down at Payton as I start turning toward the door. “I’ll take you back upstairs.”

She gives me a small smile as we exit the office. “You don’t have to take me. I can find my way back.”

I tighten my grip around her waist as I guide her to the elevator. “I know. Just please indulge me, all right?”

“Fine.”

As soon as the elevator doors open, I pull her inside and hit the button for the second floor. Giving her no warning of what I’ve got planned, I grab her thighs and lift her as I cover her mouth with mine.

Her legs wrap around my waist, and she moans when I press my tongue between her lips and take full possession of her mouth. Her taste makes me growl, and my cock is already at half-mast when her back hits the wall, and my hips settle firmly between her legs.

I shouldn’t do this. It’s just torturing the both of us when I know I can’t finish what I’ve started. But I can’t seem to help myself. The need to rip our clothes off and fill my mate’s tight pussy with my cock is threatening to take over.

The elevator dings, and the sound is the reminder I need to break our searing kiss. But I don’t have the willpower to let her go.

With Payton’s arms and legs still wrapped around me, I stride out of the elevator and down the corridor. It really isn’t a good idea. Her hot center is rubbing against my straining shaft with every step and quickly stoking my desire to a blazing inferno.

“Open the door.” I stare down into her hooded eyes when we stop outside the door to her suite. I’m not the only one who’s ready to combust right now, and that doesn’t make my impending departure any easier.

She does what I told her, and I walk straight through the main room to her bedroom. Each step inflames me, and it’s not just the natural jostling from my walking, which is the source of the amazing friction. Payton is grinding herself against me with fervor, her pussy growing hotter by the second.

My balls are practically lodged in my throat by the time I stop next to the bed, and I’m just about ready to go off in my pants.

Payton’s dark-brown eyes are molten with desire, and I can’t look away. It doesn’t matter that my brothers will be waiting. I need my mate. I need to fuck her until we both scream in ecstasy.

“Take off your clothes.” I dump her on the bed before tearing my clothes off.

She’s still wriggling on the bed, trying to get her pants off when I’m done. So, I grab the waistband and rip them in half before pulling them off. I can buy her more pants later.

Her eyes are huge when I spread her legs wide and settle between them.

“Are you ready?” I nudge her soaking entrance with the blunt head of my cock.

She nods vigorously.

I push slowly inside her tight channel, groaning as it brings me right to the edge.

Payton moans and digs her heels into my ass, but she needs a little more attention before she can follow me to the stars.

I keep still inside her while I reach between us and rub my thumb over her clit.

She sucks in a breath and lifts her hips, letting my cock sink another half inch deeper inside her.

I shudder with how good she feels around my aching length. She holds me like she’s designed specifically for me, but then that’s exactly what she is. True mates are perfect for each other in every way.

Her pussy starts fluttering, and I start moving. I piston my hips as she convulses against me, screaming her pleasure.

My orgasm almost knocks me out, the pleasure rushing through me with the force of Niagara Falls. My cock jumps like a wild thing as I come deep inside my beautiful woman.

I barely let myself catch my breath before I pull out and get dressed.

Payton is lying completely limp on the bed, her eyes closed.

I put my knees on the bed and lean down until I can whisper in her ear. “Know that when I leave, I’m going to be thinking about you. And the next time I take you to bed, we’re going to take our time and make love. Get some rest, my little rose, and I’ll be back before you know it.”
