How much he loved her.

When she came back down to earth, her breathing returning to normal, Kenton removed his hand and turned her back toward him.

“I think it’s about time we lose these as well,” he said, grasping her panties with both hands and bending down to remove them. She lifted her feet one by one, assisting his cause. But while he was down here . . .

Kenton placed a soft kiss on her curls and looked up.

“Oh God, no. Not already.”

She would learn not to challenge him. Kenton could never ignore such a statement.

Urging her legs apart, he nuzzled that most intimate part of her, bringing his hands up to assist him. Just a small taste.

Though he’d done it enough to be as skilled as anyone, if not more so, Kenton rarely allowed himself to be in such a vulnerable position with anyone. Certainly not with someone capable of killing him. But as he teased and licked, encouraged by Alessandra’s soft moans, he silently promised to pleasure her this way every single day if she so desired.

He trusted her with his life.

“Holy shit, Kenton!”

His new favorite term, for each time she said it, Alessandra tended to be in the throes of passion. And right now, she didn’t stand a chance.

She screamed out into the night, her hands grasping his head as if daring him to move away.

Kenton wouldn’t dream of it. He wouldn’t relent until she was well and truly pleasured, and the throb beneath his lips and fingers telling him to wait.

He could get used to this.

Standing, he vowed to etch Alessandra’s expression into his permanent memory. Kenton could wait no longer. He pressed her up against the edge of the bed and devoured her lips, tasting and exploring and allowing her to do the same.

Tugging at his underwear, Alessandra managed to get them partway down, and he helped the rest of the way, his erection refusing to be ignored any longer. They lay sideways on the bed, righting themselves not worth the effort. Kenton covered her with his body, reveling in the feel of her against him.

He wanted to make love to her.

He wanted to sink his fangs into her neck.

He wanted to claim her.
