"I can't drown, remember?" I grinned. "But I guess kissing doesn't count as drowning."
Kamari snorted. "Great. So that means I can still smother you in your sleep?"
"Apparently. Better write that down so you don't forget."
"Don't worry, I'll remember."
I managed to let out a small laugh before Kamari kissed me again. It was a bit rough but seriously hot. Just the way I liked it.
My back hit a tree and still the kiss didn't stop. The rough bark clawed at me as Kamari pushed me into it. Fuck, I loved how big he was. I let him take the lead, manipulating my body any way he liked it. I didn't mind. I was still reeling over the fact that this was actually happening.
"So what's supposed to happen?" Kamari asked between kisses, his voice rough. "Is Nautilus going to wake up while we're doing this?"
I groaned. "I don't fucking know, and no offense to him, but I don't want to think about him right now."
Kamari licked his lips. There was a seriousness in his expression beneath all the arousal. "Fine. But tomorrow morning, we check the temple and see if anything happened. All right?"
"Yes, fine, whatever."
I did care. I really did. But right now, all I wanted was Kamari's lips on my mouth and his hands on my body.
Thank fuck Kamari dropped the subject. His lust blazed as hard as mine. He was ravenous as he kissed me, like he couldn't get enough. It was hot as hell.
"Why can't I stop fucking kissing you?" Kamari growled as his teeth grazed my lower lip.
I grinned and let out a breathless laugh. "Dunno. Don't care. Keep doing it."
"It's aggravating me."
"What is? That we might be fated mates?"
Kamari's hand travelled down my jaw, my throat, landing on my chest. He pushed me harder against the tree. "Yes."
"Why?"
He leaned in to gently bite my neck. "Because I thought it was bullshit."
I shivered, my brain momentarily wiped clean as Kamari's teeth sunk into me.
"And you're mad that it's not?" I asked groggily.
"Yes." He licked the spot where he'd just bit. "Because--" His lips swept lower, bit the space where my neck met my shoulder. "I don't want to care about you as much as I do."
His words, even with their venom, made me smile. I let him attack my neck with bites and kisses, like he was the one claimingme.If he did, I wouldn't mind.
And then Kamari's hand trailed lower. And lower. Until--
I sucked in a sharp breath as his fingers curled around my already hard cock. "Shit," I hissed as pleasure flared. My hips automatically bucked, seeking more of Kamari's touch. His fingers clamped down on me like a warning not to misbehave, making me grind my teeth.
"Typical alpha," Kamari murmured in my ear. "So impatient."
"Yeah, I am."
He shut me up with another kiss that turned my knees weak. I threw my arms around his waist, gripping him hard as he reduced me to a moaning puddle.
As good as it felt, I didn't want to sit there and do nothing. I reached clumsily for his cock, which was rock hard, but Kamari swatted it away.
"No," he stated.
