“As many as I can, and missing kids as well.”
“Kids?”
He nodded. “It’s a fucking grim reality out there.”
“Wow,” I said.
“Yeah, there are quite a few people that would pay for kids.”
He reached into the bowl and swept a finger through the chocolate frosting. As he did so, I couldn’t help but think of the casino owned by the Serra Mafia. “Have you considered the Serra Casino?” I asked.
Odin frowned as he looked at me. “It’s closed down.”
This was news to me. I pressed my lips together and couldn’t help but frown. “I’ve heard a few of the Capos mention the Serra Casino, and that it was red hot.”
Odin sat back.
“I wouldn’t lie about this. I thought it meant the casino was bringing in a lot of cash.”
“How do you know this?” he asked.
“People don’t pay attention to me,” I said with a shrug. “It’s easy.”
He sat back and sighed. “Okay, fine, okay.” He got to his feet, pressed a kiss to my temple, and made a call.
I gathered the empty bowl of frosting, along with my utensils, to the kitchen. I washed them as I didn’t like leaving dishes to go crusty, which made it impossible to wash them. Once they were done, I went back to the dining room, intent on taking the cake to the fridge to give it a chance to set. Only, Odin was actually eating from the main cake.
“You didn’t even think to cut yourself a slice?” I asked.
“I did, but then I figured you and I are going to eat this anyway, and this is good.”
I didn’t even realize I had left a fork, but there it was. He held it out to me, and I chuckled, as I came to sit down and take some chocolate cake from him. It was good. Better than good. I couldn’t help but release a moan as the chocolatey flavor exploded on my tongue.
“That is so good.”
He agreed and then continued to feed me a couple more bites. I was pretty sure there was chocolate all around my mouth seeing as the frosting didn’t have any time to set.
“You’ve got chocolate right here,” he said.
I expected him to reach out and wipe it, only he leaned in close and I fell still, as his tongue swept the corner of my mouth, taking me by surprise. At first, I couldn’t move. His tongue feltgood, and I didn’t want it to stop, and rather than just sit there, not knowing what to do, I turned my head and attempted to kiss him back.
Odin surprised me by kissing me more. I expected it to be a simple peck on the cheek, only it was so much more. He stroked his fingers across my cheek, tucking my hair out of the way, and then he grabbed the back of my neck, and it went from gentle to hard.
He pulled me flush against him, and I reached out putting my hands on his chest. I was not going to push him away. I’d been wracking my brain for days, trying to figure out how to move our relationship along, and I didn’t know how to do it.
This kiss was everything. It made my toes curl, and my stomach was doing somersaults, and not because I was nervous. I felt an answering pulse between my thighs. I was hungry for him.
I didn’t want him to stop, and I gripped his shirt, hoping he knew what it was I wanted more than anything. This was all new territory for me. I didn’t know what to do.
And then, somehow, we were standing, and Odin pressed me up against the nearest wall, and I wrapped my arms around his back. Using my fingers, I held on tight as he suddenly grabbed my ass and lifted me up. On instinct, I wrapped my legs around his waist, and we were moving again, and I didn’t want to stop kissing him. I loved the feel of his lips on mine.
I was spun around, and suddenly, the bed was beneath my body, and I couldn’t help but smile.
Odin broke the kiss, and it made me whimper because I didn’t want him to stop kissing me. I loved the taste of him, and yes, it was a combination of chocolate and coffee, but it tasted so good.
He’d stopped kissing my lips, but that didn’t stop his lips from being on my body as he started to trail them down, goingtoward my neck. I wore a button-up shirt, and it didn’t take him long to tear it right off my body. I heard the buttons spray across the room.
Each touch aroused me even more. I felt the heat deep in my core, along with the hard ridge of his cock as it pressed against me. It felt so good.
