TEASE - From the Strain fic An Insatiable Ache by @strainingfororiginality @5thinvictus

When he was certain she was going to kiss him and their mouths were mere inches apart, she pulled away with a giggle as the cutting apparatus made it to the neck line and his shirt fell to either side of his ribs, exposing his chest to her fully.

The frustration of the teased kiss sent him into a fitful tantrum, as he collapsed onto the bed beneath her, but his grunt turned to a pur as her free hand glided across his now bare skin, brushing across his chest, nipples, and abdominals. Had he ever loved being touched by something so much in his life? He was sure he hadn’t and he closed his eyes with the sensation of it all.

“Careful.” He warned again, opening his eyes as her fingers tantalized the flesh under the very edge of the top of his pants. “You are teasing an animal, dragonfly.”
