She shook her head.
“It won’t happen again.”
The promise, so easily made, mollified her.
“You were jealous?”
She nodded, feeling embarrassed at having to admit this.
Aditi couldn’t explain what it was she saw in Rian's expression. For a moment, he’d looked almost glad. Whatever it was, she was unprepared for his response.
“Next time you feel this way, claim me. No matter where we are or who is watching, walk up to me and mark your claim.”
She blinked, goosebumps rushing across her skin when he dropped a whisper of a kiss on the hollows of her cheek. “I’m yours,” he told her firmly, his chin resting on her shoulder. Their gazes were locked on each other’s reflection. “Tell anyone you want, however you want to. But do it with a smile.”
Her chin tipped up, questioning him.
“You haven’t smiled much at this party. I know, because I’ve been watching you. I need you to smile, Doc, especially when I’m around.” His hand cradled her throat from the front. A rough thumb traced the edge of her jaw, sending her pulse fluttering with the look in his eyes.
“And if your lips are not smiling when they are with me,” he added, his voice dropping to deep rumble, “they better be busy moaning my name.”
Her heart rate picked up when his hold tightened and he angled her face up towards his.
“What will it be, Doc?” he asked, his breath flirting with her lips. “A smile, or a moan?”
Her fingers clenched into the counter in front of her, feeling his arousal press into her back. Her gaze flickered between his mouth and eyes.
“Do it,” she whispered. “Make me moan your name.”
Clearly, she could still surprise him because his hand dropped.
“Here?” he asked, needing to be sure.
“Here,” she repeated, maintaining eye contact despite the furious blush that was beginning to spread across her skin.
He had wanted her to claim him. She found that she felt no differently. She needed his closeness to dismiss the unwelcome fear that had struck her, watching his mother push Sonia towards him.
“Now,” she instructed him, facing the mirror as she began to lift her skirt slowly, knowing that this action would entice him to listen.
He watched, riveted as inch after inch of her pretty legs were revealed for his view, his body tightening in response when she leaned forward, ass jutting back, her invitation clear.
Warm hands stroked up the backs of her thighs, cupping her at the apex between them. She grew damp against his hand, biting down on the inside of her cheek when she felt her thong being moved aside. The blunt top of one finger circled her entrance, collecting evidence of her arousal.
“Fuck, you really want this,” he said, his voice thick with desire.
“I want you in me. No foreplay.”
“I don’t have a condom,” he told her, giving her a chance to change her mind.
“I don’t care,” she panted, the mere feel of his index dipping into her pussy causing her mind to go blank with pleasure. “There’s only you, Rian.”
The vein in his head throbbed as he physically reacted to her words, growing immeasurably harder. “Then spread your legs wider, Sunshine. Show me what’s mine.” His pride deepened when she obeyed instantly.
He curled his finger into her, stroking her slowly to prepare her for him. Aditi would have complained, except she was too busy watching him release himself from the confines of his slacks. Their eyes locked as he held the base of his shaft, pumping himself a few times and moaning her name with each move. Her mouth dried at the sensuality of this view, her core wetting in anticipation of what would come next.
Her eyes fluttered to a close at the feel of his wide head nudging her opening. When he slid into her, she couldn’t hold back a heartfelt sigh, focused on the pleasure of stretching around him when he was bare. “Holy fuck,” Rian groaned as he hunched over her, one arm slipping around her waist to hold her to him. “So fucking good.”
He shifted her hair over one shoulder, dropping a kiss at the exposed crook of her neck. Greedy hands cupped her bosom, kneading her, making her ache to feel his fingers on her skin. Impatiently, she grabbed both his hands and directed him to grip her hips.
