“Did you know the bite would feel like that?”
“No.”
“Did it affect you too?”
“You felt my cock in the vehicle.”
A small, strangled sound came from her side of the bed. “Right. Of course.”
“It affected me.”
Silence returned. I could hear every beat of her heart.
“Do you still want to kiss me?” she asked.
“Yes.”
The cushions between us shifted. Robyn pushed them towards the end of the bed, removing the border she had built.
She moved closer until the heat of her body reached me.
“May I kiss you?” she whispered.
“Yes.”
Her lips touched mine.
I remained still, letting her choose the pressure and pace. She kissed me softly at first, then placed one hand against my chest and opened her mouth.
My control broke.
I slid my hand into her short hair and kissed her back. Her tongue met mine, carrying the faint taste of the meal and something uniquely hers.
My tail wrapped around her leg. My good wing opened and curved over us, shutting out the rest of the room.
Robyn’s fingers moved up my chest and closed around one of my horns.
A growl tore from me.
She pressed closer.
I wanted to roll her beneath me. I wanted her legs around my hips and her hands exploring every part of me. My cock hardened against her stomach.
Too much. Too quickly.
I forced myself to pull away.
Robyn stared at me in the darkness, her breathing as unsteady as mine.
“I should stop,” I said.
“Probably.”
Neither of us moved apart. I couldn’t. She was too enticing, too perfect. She was my mate. I saw that now, clear and eternal.
I brushed my thumb over her swollen lower lip, then made myself release her. I had fought battles easier than this.
She settled against the pillows beside me. My tail remained around her ankle, and my wing stayed curved over her body.
