Steal the Night (Thieves #5)(124)

“I love you,” I said over my shoulder. I shivered as he palmed the cheeks of my rear.

He was still dressed, still perfectly in control, but I was quickly losing mine. I moved restlessly under the warmth of his hands.

“And I love you,” Dev replied, leaning over to kiss the back of my neck. It brought the hard length of his erection firmly in contact with my backside. “You getting wet for me?”

I nodded breathlessly. His hands were tingling with magic. I worried a little about that. “Is this okay, baby? Won’t the others be able to feel it?”

“I have control,” Bris’s deep voice intoned. “I’m still weak, but I can do this, my goddess. I have not needed to control the magic up until this point. I can focus it and control the flow. I can pour it into you and leave everyone else out.”

“And why haven’t you up to this point?” I asked because he’d always just let it run wild.

“Because it feels good to let it flow, and I didn’t mind sharing it with those around us,” the god replied. “We must be careful now. Devinshea needs this. Last night was…”

“No big deal,” Dev finished, wresting control back from the ancient god.

“Dev, what happened?”

“You are getting wet for me.” He ignored the question. His fingers slid into my * from behind. He parted me and his thumb began to play with my clitoris. He pressed on that magic button and made little circles around it. “You’re going be so tight on my cock. You’re going to feel so f*cking good.”

He worked two fingers up high into me. I held onto the bars, needing them to stay standing. I pushed back on his fingers, my hips moving helplessly against him. “Your little * knows who the boss is, sweetheart. Oh, goddess, you’re going to feel like heaven. Have I mentioned how much I like riding you bareback? I might just keep you pregnant for the rest of our lives so I never have to wear a condom again.”

He stroked and rubbed and knew exactly where and how much pressure I needed. In a minute I was moaning, biting my lip to keep the noise to a minimum because I knew Trent was standing outside, and while the vampires might not be awake yet, there were plenty of people walking around the compound. It was the best I’d felt in what seemed like forever. I needed Dev. I needed him so badly. I was close, so close to falling over that sweet edge when Dev pulled his fingers out and away.

“Damn it, Dev,” I hissed, looking up at him. His face was dark as he sucked the fingers into his mouth, licking off the taste of my arousal.

“You come with me, sweetheart, and not a moment before I’m ready,” he said, not at all put off by my show of temper. I stood up, my whole body flushed with desire. I saw Dev take note of my very erect nipples. He frowned. “Did I give you permission to move, lover?”

I turned back to my previous position without further complaint. Something was riding him today, and he wasn’t willing to share it with me yet. I gave him the only comfort I could. I gave him my compliance. There was the sound of his clothes hitting the floor and then he moved in behind me. I sighed in pleasure as his flesh met mine. Dev stroked his cock against my *, playing for a moment with no real penetration. He was content to tease me with the broad head of his penis rubbing against my clit.

“This is mine,” he said, and I didn’t think he was saying it to me. He was reminding himself. “This is f*cking mine. No matter what he does, this is mine.”

He thrust into me hard and gripped my hips to force me to move against him. I had to push against the cell bars to keep up with him. He wasn’t gentle or sweet. He was hard and took what he needed, setting a brutal pace as he f*cked into me. He slammed the full length of his cock in, only to pull out and start again. He hammered me from behind and I held on for dear life. He was teasing my sweet spot, knowing exactly what he was giving and withholding.

His torture seemed to go on forever but finally he was ready to let me fly. He reached around and thumbed my clit in perfect time to his thrusts. “Keep it quiet, lover. You know I love to make you scream but we have to be quiet.”

I bit my lip as he hit that perfect spot and everything inside of me released. Pure pleasure sent all thoughts of the pain of the last few days fleeing. For a few seconds, all that mattered was him. I heard Dev grunt low behind me as he pushed deep one last time and I felt his come wash over me.

He threw a hand around my waist and pulled me into the cell and onto the low cot he’d slept on the night before. He tugged me down with him and covered my body with his, slanting his mouth over mine with soft kisses.

“I love you, Zoey,” he whispered.

“I love you, baby,” I gave back to him and wound my arms around him. “Tell me what happened, please.”

His face went slightly blank and he pulled me against his chest. I was able to put my cheek against the warm flesh of his chest. “It was…unpleasant. Daniel is already at work.”

I sat up suddenly, eager to hear anything at all about Danny. “What happened?”

“Marini owns several businesses in the US under a conglomerate,” Dev explained as he toyed with my hair. “That conglomerate company is his main cash cow. Almost all of the Council’s money flows through it. A long time ago Daniel and I decided that company would be the first domino to fall. I have contacts in the FBI and when the time was right, we were going to call them. The FBI raided their headquarters yesterday and froze all of their bank accounts.”
