Wizard’s lashes lowered, making his expression unreadable. “Woman, you’re dangerous.”
Natalia kept it to herself that she had always hated giving blowjobs. She had certainly never given one as wantonly as she had just done. Either he had brought out her competitive spirit, or she had wanted to please him.
The reason for her uninhibited behavior didn’t matter. After tonight, she wasn’t going to have sex with him again.
Needing to catch her breath, she lay beside him and rested her head on his sweaty shoulder. As her eyes traveled over his body, her lips twitched with amusement.
“How the mighty have fallen.”
Wizard followed her gaze.
“This fucker has been the bane of my existence since I hit puberty.”
Amused by the disgusted expression on his face, she swallowed her laughter. Men and their egos.
Walking two fingertips down his chest, she nestled her breasts against his side. “Bruce Banner is a genius and an original Avenger. He comes across as a wimp. No one looking at him knows he’s capable of turning into the Hulk. Just think, if the Hulk were a rampaging beast all the time, poor Bruce would be too tired to do the work the Avengers need him to do to protect the world.”
Natalia could tell from his expression that Wizard knew she was bullshitting him. She could also tell he didn’t care when his eyes lit with appreciation.
“Natalia, I love you.”
CHAPTER 35
PATRI
Her heart stopped midbeat at his declaration. It took every ounce of willpower to hide her reaction. Using the desire she had been holding back, she began reawakening his passion to distract him.
Curving her arms around his neck, she rolled onto her back and brought him with her.
“Fair is fair, Bruce.” Winding her thighs around his hips, she arched upward. “I haven’t come yet. Or are you only a one-hit wonder?” She tugged his bottom lip between her teeth, goading him.
Desire etched his face as his hardening cock found her entrance. Afraid the sensations coursing through her would make her lose control and hurt him, she tightened her hold.
I shouldn’t have said fair is fair, she thought regretfully. With Wizard’s expertise, that was like throwing down a gauntlet.
He spent the rest of the night proving that whatever his cock lacked in size in its resting state, it more than made up for with its stamina and powers of regeneration.
Just as the first rays of dawn began edging through the curtains, she slapped his hands away when he reached for her again.
“Don’t you dare.” Twisting her hips away, she shoved a pillow between them. “You can tell the Hulk I’m done.” She waved a hand over her body. “This is off-limits. You can deal with him yourself.”
Yawning, she rolled over and buried her face in her pillow. She was too exhausted to move when Wizard tossed the other pillow aside and curled against her back.
“Go to sleep. He can wait until you wake up.”
“I’m going to work when I wake up,” she mumbled into the pillow. “You should go home.”
She felt his body stiffen.
“Do you want me to leave?”
“I need to sleep, and I sleep better when I’m alone.”
Digging her face deeper into the pillow, she almost broke and told him he could stay when he jerked away and climbed out of bed before she could change her mind.
He didn’t say a word as he dressed. Refusing to look in his direction, she clutched the edge of the mattress when Wizard sat to put on his boots.
When the mattress sprang back as he rose, she pretended to be asleep. Only after she heard the soft click of the bedroom door closing did she risk a glance through lowered lashes.
