Page 49 of His Winter Wonderland

“Oh. I’ll speak more clearly. Let me eat that pussy.”

The look of shock and disbelief on her pretty brown face was comical. “Let you… you want to…”

“Eat that pussy,” he finished for her. “If I win again, I get to eat that pussy. If you win, I won’t kill your bestie’s mate.”

“That’s not fair.”

“Your rules stated that we could ask for whatever we wanted. Right?”

She snapped her mouth shut. This was precisely why he’d allowed her to make the rules. She couldn’t complain about house rules because this was her house. He shuffled the cards again and placed them on the table as she folded her arms over her chest and leaned back in her seat. His gaze drifted to the clock on the wall. She had clocks everywhere. They all had different times on them.

“What’s up with all these clocks with the wrong time?”

“Mind your business.”

“Stop being a sore loser and tell me.”

“It’s the right time somewhere.”

He nodded. “So, they all represent different realms?” She jerked her head yes. “Why torment yourself by keeping up with different realms?”

“It’s how I stay up to date on what’s happening in the world. Current events, fashion trends, movies, celebrities.”

“Does any of that matter?”

“It will, if I ever leave this plane. Times have changed. I want to be up on what’s happening and not behind when I leave.”

“Makes sense. The newbies who come to this plane keep me updated on life on the outside. Shit, every week we’re finding some newbie out in the wilderness that has been cursed here.”

“You guys still go out there and look for new beings?”

“Once a week. If they can survive on their own for a week, we’re willing to help them. If they can’t, they’ll become a liability we can’t afford.”

“That’s a good thing you all do. I’m sure it pisses The Deciders off. They like for their runners to find the newbies, so they can present them with fake tasks to complete.”

“I’ve long stopped giving a fuck about The Deciders.”

“You shouldn’t underestimate them, Rhen.”

“I don’t. I just don’t give a fuck about them. They took something very dear from me.”

Winter stared down into her lap. “We’re getting off track again.”

“Okay. Back to the game. If you win, I’m no longer able to turn Kaede. If I win, I keep the right to turn Kaede and I get to eat that pussy.”

“Ugh. Isn’t there anything else you want?”

“There’s a lot. But tonight, all I want is to put my mouth on that…”

“Pussy. I heard you the first ten times.”

Rhen burst out laughing. “Say it again. Say pussy. I like the way you say it.”

She leaned forward. The naughty expression that morphed across her face damn near stole his breath. “I’ll say it in a sentence for you, okay?” She told him.

Rhen swallowed then nodded. He knew what the fuck words were. He just couldn’t use them right then. His mate was leaning across the table. The front of her dress dipped a little, revealing her cleavage. His mouth watered.

“Rhen Fujisaki, stop being a little pussy and deal the cards,” she purred.
