“Eager for more play,rei leikavi?”
“Perhaps,” she whispered.
“Or perhaps,” I said, “you fear what I will ask.”
She sighed. “I know what you will ask. And you’re right…maybe I do fear it.”
Her honesty was refreshing.
“Let me pet you for a little while,” I told her after a moment. “Then you can wash me, we will take our evening meal, and then see what comes afterwards,lysi?”
She let out a shuddered breath when my fingers found her slit, when I brushed the back of my claw over the swollen bud at the top.
Vienne turned her face, seeking my eyes, her palm tightening on my tail. Then she rested her cheek on my pectoral, the tip of her nose pressing into my flesh.
“You always smell so good,” she whispered.
Affection bloomed, the emotion as foreign as my laugh.
“And with the exception of the first night I met you,leikavi,” I rumbled to her, hearing her gasp when I pressed the little bud harder and made little circles, “your scent always drives me mad.”
She huffed out a small laugh. “It was filth from the stream. Perhaps it was also meant to keep you away, though it obviously didn’t work.”
“Howdidyou get intoDothikthat night?” I asked, pressing my forehead against her, gritting my teeth when her hips rolled to meet my touch, when my cock rubbed against her backside.

“Yes,” she replied, almost immediately.
“Do you still ache from two nights ago?” I murmured. “I wasn’t too rough?”
“I can take you,” she responded and I felt her lips curl against my chest.
“Oh,lysi?”
“Lysi,” she said.
My nostrils flared, lust riding me hard.
“You think to tease aVorakkarand come out unscathed?” I growled in her ear.
She bit her lip and stifled a moan when I began to rock against her backside, grinding my aching cock against her.
“Nik, I want to hear your sounds for me. Your gasps, your moans, yourscreams,” I said. “Do not hide them from me. Iownthem. They are mine, Vienne.”
Her eyes blinked open, her gaze half-lidded as she regarded me, that tantalizing, familiar flush creeping up her neck.
Vok, I wanted her. I’d thought about her every spare moment of the day and when I’d seen her walking with Lokkaru this afternoon, all I could think about was dragging her back to myvolikiand burying myself inside her until I felt the peace she’d brought me. I had never felt thisconsumedbefore. Not even by—
