A leftover of my heat is being overly sensitive, and it literally takes only a few minutes of yummy unhurried sex until I squeeze him tight and come. I stop sucking Darius, distracted by the sweetest relief made better when Ramses clenches his hands on my waist and makes tiny, hard thrusts as he comes on a deep, groan too.
I barely open my eyes and Darius is whispering in my ear. “Tongue out.” He follows our quick, peaceful moment, blowing on my face, still not making too much noise.
The second he stops coming, Darius gives a deep, masculine filled satisfied chuckle like he’s proud of the mess on my face. But I turn him into a puddle of a man when I wipe his come off my face all over his cock and knot and lick him clean.
Twisting around, I open my eyes to Kai who’s watching from the door. His eyes are full of adoration and despite his raging hard-on, he doesn’t try to join in, or get involved, more than content just to watch.
ChapterFifty-Two
HEIDI
Kai beckons me away from the nest with the lure of a bath.
I follow behind him, watching where he goes, inhaling his sweet excitement as he leads us down several flights of stairs. I keep my hands on his waist, loving being able to touch, smell, and kiss him whenever I want.
When he stops walking, I stop but I don’t stop trailing my lips over the lines of a tattoo running down his spine, nor do I look around for the bath he promised. He’s fast become an obsession, the way I can feel him in our bond is tantalising.
“Look, rohi,” he whispers, twisting away, probably already sensing how caught up I am in our new connection. As he moves though, Kai unveils an oasis.
The Denali brothers have been holding out on me, and their definition of a bath is not the same as mine.
The Great House’s bath is an underground grotto-like pool. It’s breathtakingly stunning, completely unexpected, but looking at it now, it’s so fitting to the story of Kai’s parents and the whole theme of Issy’s passion of ancient worlds.
Wide sandstone stairs lead into a black shimmering pool of water that stretches out from one wall to the other. The roof curves low, meeting the side wall on the water’s edge. Standing up on the water’s edge would be impossible, but it doesn’t make the space feel claustrophobic because someone has painted an indigo sky full of glittering stars, making the room open up like you’re actually outside.
And the stars really do sparkle like real life ones. They glitter golden, made realistic by the smallest shards of broken mirror reflecting light from groups of candles situated in carefully placed cut outs in the wall.
“Oh my god,” I whisper, taking a step closer, my hand reaching up to touch one of the closest stars.
“Heidi,” Kai calls me back from getting completely distracted by the room.
Turning around I find him standing under a shower hidden behind the door, he holds his hand out for me to join him, but he walks out as I walk in. Using the small loofah he did, I soap up over my skin but stop when he growls when I go to wash off some of their claims.
From where I’m standing it looks like he’s hovering in the water but when I wade closer, through waist deep water, I discover another magical feature of the pool, a raised bed.
“On you get,” he says as he hops off, that cheeky, self-satisfied smile on his face rains over me as he helps place rolled up towels under my neck so it’s like I’m floating on top of the water but completely supported too. He disappears, and I can hear him walking in the water until he returns with a jar he puts next to me. And then he massages over every inch of my skin.
I get destroyed by his fingers kneading into muscles overworked from my heat. He doesn’t talk as he massages me from top to bottom, and when he finishes every part of me feels loose and tinglingly fresh.
My eyes pop open and find him looking down at me, so close I can count his eyelashes. Kai spoiled me with a beautiful massage, lavishing me with touches that spoke volumes of all his surging emotions. Of course he wasn’t done being sweet, perfuming me in his scent and leaving a sweet, but searing kiss in the centre of my forehead.
“Always mine, rohi,” he says, pulling away, while pulling me up to sitting too.
He hops up to sit next to me, our feet kicking and dragging through the water.
“We’re leaving, aren’t we?” I ask, leaning my head on his shoulder, watching the ripples we made together make the water lap against the stairs.
“We need to get back, Heidi. We came here for your heat and to lay low,” he says, dropping another kiss on the top of my head.
“Okay,” I answer, hopping off the table to face Kai. “I’m not going to hide that we’re ‘dating’.” I use my fingers to emphasise dating.
“Not asking you to, rohi. But I am asking you to use a family secret to numb your scent.”
I pop an eyebrow, a sign I want more information.
Kai chuckles and uses his legs to draw me closer. “Family secret like I said, Heidi,” he growls playfully.
I point down to my leg. “I’m family now, so spill.”
