She reached for him, filling her hands with the length and girth of him. He closed his eyes as she stroked him, his face going taut and intense with what seemed to be barely leashed control. Finally, he let out a rough snarl and rose over her.
Kaya moaned as he settled into the wetness of her cleft then pushed inside on a slow, unending thrust. She gasped as he filled her, stretching her nearly to the point of pain. His hips bucked and rocked against her, the steady tempo he started with soon gaining in power.
“Christ, you feel incredible,” he uttered in that deep gravel growl that made her melt. “I don’t want to stop moving inside you. Fuck, Kaya. I can’t stop.”
“So, don’t.” She smiled up at him, craving everything he gave her. “Don’t stop, Aric.”
He roared his approval, a wordless, animal sound. All she could do was hold on as he crashed against her, his big body dominating her, stirring something dark and fevered to life within her too.
As pleasurable as he felt inside her, it was Aric’s wildness that sped her orgasm this time. He held her like he couldn’t get close enough, kissing her as if he wanted to drown in her. Driving so deep she could no longer tell where his body ended and hers began. When he came, it was on a long, guttural shout, his eyes blazing, locked in an unbreakable hold with hers.
Kaya felt boneless, adrift in a sea of intense sensation and unexpected, confusing emotions. She looped her arms around his neck, as stunned and unprepared as he seemed to be for the power of what they had just shared.
He stared at her as his body slowed above her. There was tenderness in his fiery gaze . . . and torment. A low curse escaped him, muttered quietly under his breath as he reached up to sweep some of her dark hair from her face.
When he started to withdraw, Kaya held on tighter.
She gave a small shake of her head. “Don’t. Not yet. I’m not ready to end this dance and say goodnight.”
His mouth quirked. “You mean, good-bye?”
She couldn’t pretend to see the humor in that now. Even though she knew her own survival depended on keeping her distance from this male and the tumult of feelings he was awakening in her. She didn’t know what ached more, the need she felt for Aric or the futility of that desire.
He bent his head down and nipped her lower lip. “Tell me, lovely Kaya. Has anyone ever made you come while you watched the sun rise?”
She shook her head, incapable of words.
His playful grin broke her heart. “Good. That means we’ve got another first to share before real life calls us home.”
He rolled over onto his back, bringing her atop him. Their legs entangled, bodies still intimately joined, he drew her head down to his and claimed her mouth in a possessive kiss as he thrust his hips and began all over again.
CHAPTER 13
There were few things Nikolai relished more in life than the sight of his Breedmate nestled peacefully in the safe haven of their bed. For a warrior who’d known little else but combat and bloodshed for most of his long life, it stunned him how helpless--how infinitely humbled--he felt each time he looked at his beautiful Renata and realized that she was his.
That she lay in their bed heavy with his child--their son, who would be arriving anytime now--only made Niko’s love for Renata deepen all the more.
And his desire.
Slowly, so as not to disturb the ebony-haired siren as she slept, he lifted the coverlet and slipped back into bed with the same stealth he’d used to leave it a short while ago. It didn’t surprise him that Renata stirred now despite his care. Their blood bond connected them on a level that went beyond basic senses. She would feel the depth of his arousal for her thrumming in his veins even before she felt the physical evidence of it tucked against the rounded curve of her naked backside.
Her soft little moan made his cock twitch with unabashed interest.
“Your feet are cold,” she murmured, sleep roughening her already sultry voice.
Niko dropped a kiss on her bare shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her. “Nothing else on me is cold, I promise.”
He pulled her closer, until they were spooned together with no space between them. Renata laughed quietly as she settled against his hard body. “Is that a Magnum in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
His answering chuckle sounded as hungry as he felt. “Baby, I’m always happy to see you.”
He moved against her, unable to resist the heat of her soft curves. He would never tire of holding her, whether they were simply lying under the covers in each other’s arms or enjoying more vigorous activity. Both of which he intended to indulge in this morning.
He had never known what true contentment felt like until fate blessed him with Renata.
“Where’ve you been?” she asked, sighing as she nestled into his embrace. “I woke up a few minutes ago and you weren’t here.”
“I heard a noise downstairs. Someone was just coming in after spending the night outside. A couple of someones, that is.” He grunted, still bemused by what he saw. “Evidently, Aric and Kaya decided to catch the sunrise together.”
