Manus couldn’t let Kim’s comment stand and give the impression that all he was after was having his cock sucked. He was all for seeing to Kim’s pleasure.

“Men, huh?” he murmured against her lips. “How about you let this man take you to your bedroom and make love to you?”

“Make love?” she echoed. “So not just sex?”

“No, not just sex. That was last night. We’re turning over a new leaf tonight. I mean, with all that’s passed between us, you following me, you accusing me of being the bad guy and shooting me, I guess we’ve gone beyond just sex. What do you think?”

She laughed softly, and the sound seeped into his heart. “So, that’s all it took, me shooting you? That’s crazy.”

“Yeah, but crazy in a good way.”

“Hard to argue with that,” she said.

“Then let’s not argue. Let’s make love.”

“You have a way of talking a girl into things…”

“It’s a gift,” he whispered and kissed her.

Minutes later, they were in Kim’s bed, both naked. Manus looked at her gorgeous body. She was perfect. A woman like her could have any man; she didn’t have to sleep with a man who had disfiguring scars, both inside and out. But he would be the last man to question Kim’s choices. She was a woman not to be trifled with, strong-willed and determined. As well as adventurous both in and out of bed. He liked that about her. There was no shyness, no hesitation.

Braced on his elbow, lying on his side next to her, Manus ran his hand over her breasts. Her nipples were hard and rosy, her flesh firm yet pliable.

“You’re beautiful,” he said. “I could look at you all night.” He rubbed his finger over one nipple.

“Mmm.”

Taking his time, he kneaded first one breast, then the other, and felt Kim arch her back to thrust her chest toward him.

“Patience, baby. I’ll take care of you.”

He released her breast and moved farther south, caressing her flat stomach before approaching the apex of her thighs. There, a triangle of thin dark hair formed a canopy that hid her female treasure. Slowly, he combed his fingers through it and slipped them between her legs. She spread them wider, inviting him to explore her.

Manus pressed a kiss to her neck, then slid his fingers over her folds. Moist heat greeted him, and he let out a moan. He rubbed one finger along the slit and coated it in her juices. Kim moaned softly, and Manus stroked his finger upward again.

“Oh, yes!”

“Mmm,” he hummed at her ear. “Teach me what you like, and I promise I’ll give you anything you desire.”

She undulated her hips, tilting her pelvis up so his finger slipped back down to her slit. He dipped the tip of his finger into her channel and felt her muscles grip him. His cock jerked at the sensation, already hard and heavy again, ready for more. But he could wait. Giving pleasure to Kim was more important now. He had to show her how good he could make her feel before she woke up and saw the ugliness of his scars. Before she decided that she was wasting herself on him when she could have a man who was physically as perfect as she.

He pulled his finger from her and slid it to her clit. The tiny organ was engorged. When he swiped his wet finger over it, Kim moaned out loud.

“Yes!”

He smiled. Kim was even more responsive than he’d hoped. He scooted down next to her, then gripped her thighs and spread them even wider before moving into the space between them. Kim opened her eyes, staring down at him.

Realizing what he intended to do, a stunned “Oh” left her mouth.

“Oh, yeah,” Manus confirmed. “Did you really think you could suck me like that and I wouldn’t do the same to you? Now you’ll be at my mercy.”

He dipped his head to her center, already taking in the scent of her arousal. He inhaled deeply and looked back at her face. She was still looking at him, lust coloring her eyes now, a deep breath leaving her chest.

“Ah, how I love a woman who knows when it’s time to let go and enjoy herself.”

He brought his mouth to her nether lips and pressed a kiss to them, then snaked out his tongue and licked over her slit, gathering up the juices that oozed from her. He drank them down and felt his body harden, her taste infusing him with newfound vigor, just like the vampire blood earlier had revived him.
