It wasn’t like he wanted to argue. He needed to feed and this was as good a place as any.
“And you?”
“I’m good until tonight,” she said softly. “But I will come find you at nightfall.”
“I want to touch you,” he rasped against her ear. “Let me make you come with my fingers,balisra.”
The sharp inhale and the way her body bucked against him told him she wasn’t opposed to the idea.
“Spread your legs for me,” he urged, sliding his hand over her thigh.
Acadia did as he instructed, her hand coming over his as he slid his fingers over her sex. Even in the water, he could feel her slickness, the way her body eased the way for his fingers to enter her. He took his time, grazing her clit lightly, teasing her as he pressed his lips to her shoulder, sliding higher. When she leaned her head back, baring her neck for him, providing him access to her vein, Kaj’s fangs descended in anticipation. Still he refrained, teasing her, building her higher. And when he plunged two fingers inside her, he pierced her neck.
She cried out, her body pressing into his as he fingered her at the same time he drank from her. His cock was rock hard, but it had been since he joined her in here. It was the reason he’d left his boxers on. He had no intention of taking this further. Not yet. Not until his female understood he wasn’t simply in this for the pleasure she brought him. He wanted to take care of her, to love her, to spend their eternity together.
Come for me.He pushed the words into her mind, loving the way her body clasped his fingers as he urged her higher with the rhythmic press of his fingers.
“Kaj…”
God, he loved the way she said his name. That single syllable from her lips was the most erotic thing he’d ever heard.
Holding her in place with his mouth, he slid his other hand between her thighs and teased her clit relentlessly as he fucked her with two fingers. She shivered and moaned, pinned in place against him as he drank from her. Kaj closed his eyes and let the erotic sounds drift in his ears, the sweet warmth of her body against his, the way her sex clamped down on him.
When she came, it was with a brittle cry that nearly had him coming himself. He staved off his own release by focusing on bringing her down while he continued to feed. She settled against him, her breaths raspy. Her hand came up to cup his face, holding him to her neck as he took more from her, but not too much. By the time he was finished, her breaths had returned to normal. After he sealed the wounds he’d inflicted, he shifted her so that he could find her mouth with his.
Kaj was lost to her. Completely and totally overwhelmed. He’d never felt anything like this before her, because she was his other half, the part that would make him whole.
“I love you,” he whispered softly when he pulled back.
She didn’t say the words back, but he didn’t have to hear them. He knew how she felt even if she was hesitant to tell him. One day she would trust him enough to open up to him. And when that day came, he would be by her side for the rest of their existence.
“Let me get you up to your room.”
Acadia nodded, then pressed her lips to his once more. He knew it was her way of expressing what she wasn’t ready to say. And he was more than willing to take whatever she was willing to give.
Chapter Ten
“You can’t beat me, angel,” Blaz toldApollo for the millionth time since the male had joined them in the game room.
For the past couple of hours, the other angels had slowly trickled out, one by one until it was only him and the healer. From what Blaz could tell, Apollo refused to give up, despite the fact he’d been beaten a dozen times.
Apollo took the chalk and rubbed it over the end of his stick as he moved around the table, studying the layout of the remaining balls.
“Perhaps I’m not looking to win,” the male rumbled.
“No?” Blaz stepped back to allow Apollo to move by him.
But the healer didn’t stroll by. No, he made sure to brush the entire front of Blaz’s body with his own. The heat that transferred between them was exactly what had been arcing since the male had stepped into the room. At first, he’d thought he had imagined it. Figured it had something to do with those fantasies he’d indulged back at the Dungeon, when that other male had been on his knees.
When Apollo didn’t immediately move away, Blaz pressed his hips forward. “What’s your angle, healer?”
“Whatever you want it to be.” The male leaned forward, taking aim at one of the stripes while he pressed his ass to Blaz’s groin.
Yeah, there was no missing what he was getting at.
“What makes you think I’m interested?” he growled softly, placing his hand in the center of Apollo’s back.
The male took the shot, missed, but he didn’t immediately stand.
