Between Shadow & Ruin (Fangs & Fae Saga Book 2)

fifteen.

Val woke up late the next morning, but since we gave the kids the weekend off from classes, I let her sleep. I watched her breathing and took in her scent. I couldn't control myself when I snuggled over to her and kissed her shoulder, squeezing her hip. She moaned lightly in her sleep as she started to wake up. I stopped and she turned to face me.

"I didn't tell you to stop..." she murmured, sleepily. I continued kissing her and my hand trailed under her waistband and panties as she moaned softly in my ear. She bent one leg and allowed me more access to her – she was warm and wet and inviting. I gently circled her clit as she moaned into my mouth. I slipped a finger inside of her and kissed her neck. "Keep going," she whispered.

"Mmm..." I groaned into her ear. "You look so hot right now..." I nipped at her earlobe. She moaned softly as she squeezed one of her breasts. I pulled her closer to me, curving my body around hers as she threw her leg over mine. I inserted another finger and she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Oh, fuck, Liz... Right there," she rasped. I sucked on her collarbone as I continue the rhythm of my fingers. I felt her arch into my hand just before her body tightened around my fingers deep inside of her. I smiled as I saw her begin to glow at my touch. Her breaths quickened. "Fuck," she whispered.

"Give it to me," I said, before pressing my lips to hers. I slowed my pace as I felt her relax as her body came down. She laughed softly for a second as I licked my hand clean of her pleasure. She got on top of me as I sat against the headboard and kissed me. I wrapped one arm around her back, and I used the other to move her hair from her neck. I sunk my fangs into her neck and she gasped lightly. Her blood flowed down my throat as I grunted. I healed her neck and licked off any blood. I heard the doorknob turn and rolled my eyes as Val slid off my legs and onto the bed.

"Well... it was nice that one of us got something out of it..." I said quietly before the door opened. Noah and Ava came running into the bed again. Val got out of bed to go to the bathroom quickly and I adjusted the pillows and blankets. "You two need to stop doing that," I said, sternly.

"But we just wanted to see you!" Ava said.

"Yes, but Momma and Mommy need their alone time too. You can't keep opening doors that are locked without asking. Unless it's an emergency."

"But Momma, this was an emergency," Noah said.

"And what's the emergency?"

"We missed you..." Ava said softly. I shook my head and chuckled.

"Okay, why don't you go wait for us downstairs?" They got out of the bed and Val closed the door behind them. She sat on top of me again and kissed me again. I put my fingers in her hair and she grinded gently on my legs. "Val... Hold on..." I focused on the hallway outside our bedroom. "Kids? I asked you to wait downstairs!" I heard them giggle and their footsteps ran down the hall and then downstairs. "Okay, now they're gone."

We walked downstairs about an hour later after a shower to the twins watching TV with Odie, eating. Chris and Zane were in the kitchen drinking coffee. They handed us each a cup and I saw Val grimace and stare at the cup.

"What's wrong?" I chuckled.

"Chris, did you make this? It's disgusting."

"It tastes fine to me..." he said, taking a sip.

"I like sugar." She reached for the sugar and dumped four spoonfuls into it. "Okay, now it's tolerable..." I laughed at the fact that after fifteen years Chris still didn't know how to make Val's coffee.

"I told you to let me make it," Zane said, nudging Chris in his side.

"So, did you two get to talk to Odie?"
