The sound of his name on her lips was the sweetest thrill, and Mik’hail groaned as he felt her fingers grip his hair.
His Briar began to writhe beneath him, her body arching against his, and it was almost as if she was begging him again, his innocent little Briar just begging him to give her more—
And so he did.
He moved lower still, and when he finally tasted her—
His Briar cried out.
And the sound nearly undid him.
She was everything. Just everything. And Mik’hail lost himself in the pleasure of giving her pleasure, his world narrowing to nothing but the sounds she made, the way she trembled, the way she gasped his name over and over—
“Mik’hail...Mik’hail...”
She sobbed his name as pleasure finally swept her away, her body arching off the bed as wave after wave crashed through her.
He stayed with her through every shudder, wanting to give her everything, needing to consume every last tremor because he knew...
If he wanted what was best for his Briar—
He could not let this happen again.
Wouldn’t.
Mik’hail pressed one final, tender kiss against her skin before slowly drawing away, and he heard her whisper his name one last time as he did.
Tonight was a precious memory he would never forget, but tomorrow...
Tomorrow, everything would be back to normal.
He would make sure of it, no matter the cost.
