Why had it taken me so long to understand this? I’d seen how my parents were around one another, and my entire life I’d dreamed of finding my bond and feeling the love they so obviously shared. Was my fear so strong that I would let it change the course of my life forever? No. It wasn’t.
It was still there, like an annoying voice in the back of my head that yodeled at the most inopportune times. But I chose to ignore it. From this day forward, I wasn’t going to live in fear. In fact… glancing down at Kai’s peaceful face, I knew exactly what I wanted. The blankets covered a majority of what I needed to see, but the head of Kai’s dick rested on his lower abdomen, a pearly drop leaking from the tip.
Gently, I pulled at the comforter and revealed him inch by glorious inch. Gods, there was a lot of him. So focused on trying to please him last time, I hadn’t really paid attention to howbighe was and what that would mean when the time came to fit him inside me. My one and only introduction to sex was many years ago, and I felt lucky to have gotten away with the small pinch and general bland feeling that preceded me losing my virginity.
Until Kai, I hadn’t known what it could be like. I didn’t know it was possible for my toes to curl and my back to bend in a perfect arch, or that pleasure could be waves of blissandpain—that my body would try to both get away from something andcloser in the same breath. If he could show all that to me, with only his fingers and a wicked mouth, then what would happen when he usedthat?
“If you don’t stop looking at it like that, I’m going to flip you over and fill you until my cock tickles that bond in your chest.”
Kai stared at me, now fully awake. I bit my lip at the literaltinglinghis words sent south and dared to meet his gaze.
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”
The air left him in awhoosh. He sat up on one elbow, then his palm, watching me the entire time as he moved with deliberate slowness. It was a chance for me to change my mind if I wanted. When I didn’t run, he grinned wolfishly and dove at me. His arms wrapped around my waist, and the world spun as it was flipped upside down.
Ass in the air, Kai carried me over his shoulder into the ensuite, not setting me down until steam billowed from the shower stall. My toes met cool, slick tiles as warm water rushed over my head. I was soaked in seconds. Mouth open in shock, I couldn’t drag my eyes away from him as he prowled forward to join me under the spray.
Anticipation was a heady throb between my legs. This was it; I was sure of it. He was going to bond me right here in this damned shower, and if he didn’t…well…I might just have to convince him. I watched as he reached out, past my head to the soap dispenser on the wall, and lathered body wash into a handful of bubbles.
Another step closer.
Then, a smooth glide of his palm up the side of my body. Just the outline. He skipped my breast to glide over my collarbone, then up my shoulder and down my back until he reached my ass. It felt great—amazing actually—but his touch was a little more PG than I thought this caveman act would result in. I was scared to speak, afraid that if I said something he wouldstop. He loved to taunt, especially when he knew it drove me crazy.
“Is my touch not up to your expectations?” he chuckled, knowing full well it wasn’t.
His sly fingers cleaned every inch of me, even dipping between my cheeks. I clawed at his shoulders with a squeak, reminded of what he’d done there last night, and his answering smirk stole my breath.
“Like that, do you?” When he pressed against the tight hole again, my knees buckled. He caught me with a low laugh. “Dirty girl.”
There was tension already building in my lower abdomen from a few soft strokes. It was frustrating each time he touched me, and then moved away. My hips followed his fingers, reaching for the missing friction and I swore to the gods if he teased me one more time I was going to stab him. An unhappy growl escaped my lips when those hands made another near pass.
“I haven’t even started, and you’re already so needy,” he murmured,finallyplunging those fingers between my thighs.
Lights danced behind my closed eyes, and I moaned. There was no stopping my hips. They rolled and jerked—seeking and running from the pleasure he offered. He pressed me back against the wall when my thighs trembled and curved two fingers deep inside.
“Shit,Kai,” I panted. “I’m so close.”
“Slowly,” he commanded, controlling exactly how and when my hips could move. “Make it last.”
“No,” I growled. He was going to kill me; I was sure of it. “I’m ready.”
He scooped me up, urging me to wrap my legs around him. The burning tip of him pressed bluntly against me, and he leaned forward to cover my mouth with his. I bit at his lower lip.Clawed at his back. Bucked my hips. Nothing got him inside me. The soap all over my body made us soslippery. The rounded head of his dick grazed my clit, followed immediately by the full length of him.
Again and again. Kai held my ass in both hands and obliterated my body with well-controlled rolls of his hips.
“I’m ready, Kai,” I whimpered. “I’m ready.”
“Not yet, but you’re about to be,” he promised and bit down on the tendon in my neck.
The pain of his bite was so sharp it almost immediately bled into pleasure, and I erupted. Wave after wave of my release slammed into me with the strength of a wild storm. My toes tingled, and my legs went numb. Kai had to hold onto me until the feeling came back, and I could once again stand on my own.
“That was one,” he whispered in my ear.
One?
How many did he have planned? I needed to be alive for the bonding to work, and that last orgasm hovered right at the edge of making me lose consciousness. Kai reached past me to turn the water off, then wrapped me in one of his oversized towels.
Bunching the cotton in his hands, he worked his way down my body, slowly catching the beaded droplets on my skin and igniting a slow burn in the wake of his touch. Anticipation sent my pulse racing. He knelt on the tile in front of me, deep blue eyes staring with an intensity that would have frightened me before. Now, it only left me breathless as I waited to see what he’d do next. When his tongue darted out to lick my inner thigh, the muscles in my legs quivered. With a chuckle, he nipped me and used the towel to dry the rest.
