“Better?”

“Yes.”

He moved closer, his body fully pressed against hers, his breath fanning her neck. She knew he was naked beneath the sheet, and part of her wished that luxurious cotton, not to mention her gown, wasn’t between them, shielding her from his warmth. It was wrong to be wanting something from him considering he was still healing, but as the weeks had progressed, Acadia had been hoping something more might come from their constant interactions. The fact that she’d never experienced this sort of intimacy with a male was what prompted her to want to explore, to see where it might go.

Kaj’s arm draped over her side, pulling her closer. She shifted to assist, and it was then she felt the hard ridge of his erection. The soft growl that rumbled in his chest had her mouth falling open, her lungs working overtime to drag air in.

As he pressed his lips against her neck, his arm slipped under hers, his hand curling over her shoulder to hold her.

“I’m going to bite you now,” he whispered, the words a dark seduction in their current positions.

She tilted her head toward the pillow, offering herself to him.

When his fangs pierced her vein, she inhaled deeply, but not because it hurt. Quite the opposite, actually. Acadia had never thought much about males feeding at her vein. It was a biological function that had to be tended to, one she was forced to provide. With Kaj … this felt strangely different, and she figured that had to do with the fact she was attracted to him. More so than she’d ever been to another male.

He groaned even as he sucked, the muscles in his arm tensing. The feel of his lips on her neck had her skin tightening, her nipples pebbling. Every inch of her was sensitive, the lightest brush of air whispering over her making her tremble.

Acadia found herself leaning into him, urging him closer. His erection pressed against her bottom, his hand curling around her breast. He was breathing harder through his nose, the air tickling as he drew on her again and again.

She wasn’t sure what prompted her to do it, but Acadia freed her breast from the silk of her gown, moaning when his warm hand cupped her. As he kneaded her flesh and took from her vein, she reached back for him, her hand gripping his hip. When he ground his erection against her, she levered her bottom toward him, wanting to offer the friction he needed.

His gruff moans had her growing warmer, her own soft moans escaping when he plucked her nipple with his fingers, his hips grinding. He fed from her as he tormented her body with the heat of his. Between her thighs, she grew slick, her sex clenching, reminding her she was empty despite the fact she longed to feel him moving inside her.

“Kaj…” Her hand tightened on his hip as she urged him to find his release.

A deep, gravelly sound rumbled in his chest as he rutted behind her.

“Come for me,” she urged.

The sound that escaped him was more torment than pleasure, as though he was desperate to refrain.

“Come for me, Kaj.” It wasn’t a request, it was a demand, and she sensed he knew that.

His arm banded tightly, the hand covering her breast squeezing firmly. Then his fangs slipped from her neck, his tongue swiped over the wounds as he continued to grind his erection against her.

“Acadia…” His hand slipped from her breast, sliding down her thigh as he yanked her gown up to her hips, his lips pressing against her skin as he continued to moan, the vibrations rocking her to her core.

She felt the sheet between them and wished he would abandon that, too. He didn’t, though. He simply kissed her neck as he jerked his hips until thunder emerged from his chest and he came. She squeezed her thighs together, attempting to stave off the ache that had built in her core.

“I want to make you come,” he growled, his hand sliding over her hip.

Acadia parted her thighs, welcoming his hand.

“Can I make you come, Acadia?”

“Please, Kaj…”

He shifted, urging her onto her back as his hand cupped her sex.

“So beautiful,” he whispered.

It was then she realized he was looking at her face, not what his fingers were doing between her legs. When he thrust one thick finger into her, Acadia’s head pressed into the pillow and she came in an instant. The orgasm exploded within her, the electrical current more powerful than anything she’d ever felt. He teased her flesh as she rode the wave. And when she came back to herself, her eyes opened to find he was still looking at her, the expression on his face one she’d never seen before. Perhaps wonder mixed with reverence.

Acadia knew in that moment that what had transpired between them was more than sex. It was unlike anything she’d ever experienced with a male. A deeper connection had been developed.

And it was only getting started.

What Kaj wanted was to roll ontop of this female, to mount her, drive them both to the precipice and over into the abyss. It was the same thing he’d wanted every time she’d come into his room for the past two weeks, ever since their one and only intimate encounter that day in his shower.
