Chapter 30

“I am never too busy for you, love.”

In the blink of an eye, Cinder was at his side, gathering him in a warm embrace. Io had heard the term going all squishy inside and now understood what it meant. Just being touched by Cinder made him melt, softening to the pleasantly familiar curves of his lover. Being this close, however, only made his yearning for intimacy harder to ignore. Io sucked in his bottom lip, trying to focus on something other than the feel of Cinder’s hands on the small of his back, the way their pelvic bones nestled together. How was he supposed to ignore the urge to tear off Cinder’s clothes?

Io squirmed in an attempt to get free, however, it made matters worse, even earning him a moan from Cinder.

“You shouldn’t do that,” his lover whispered.

“Oh?” It came out a choked sob.
