Rahj stepped into the room and shut the door behind him. He was dressed like a noble in a forest green tailcoat and a cream vest. Rahj’s eyes glanced over them together in the bed. “I saw your signal.”

Logan kept his arm wrapped tight around her. “Scour Salizar’s workshop and rooms for anything pointing towards his mission and affiliation. We’ll meet tomorrow to discuss what you find.”

Rahj nodded. “Kara,” he said, tilting his head in acknowledgment. “Good to see you again.”

Kara managed a weak smile.

When Kara woke,she was still weak, but she already felt markedly better than she had on the demon’s drip. It was the first quality sleep she’d gotten since taking it. Logan was plastered around her, and she was over-warm from his body heat and the bedcovers. She tried to slide away, and his arms tightened, pulling her back in. She rolled over in his arms to face him and took him in.

The muscled expanse of his bare chest rose and fell softly with each breath, pure power leashed by the softness of slumber. The fire in the hearth cast a golden shadow over his face, softening his harsh jaw and dark stubble. She trailed a hand down his chest, tracing the lines of his muscles, and the evidence of his desire grew hard against her. Heat pooled low in her belly.

Logan’s eyes slid open, and they glowed gold. They held the stare, and his cock flexed against her leg. Logan groaned and rolled away from her. “Don’t look at me like that.”

Kara hid her grin.

“Like what?”

“Like I could give you the world with my dick.”

“Well, could you?”

Logan looked back at her, eyes molten. “I can certainly try.”

Kara snorted. “How are you holding up?”

“I'm unbelievably horny. I wake up so fucking hard it feels like my dick is going to burst, having done everything imaginable to you in my dreams. I want to slaughter any man that looks at you. And masturbating only takes the edge off. So, fine. I’m doing fine. I’ve had several dreams of impaling Jon on my sword. No less than five.”

Kara laughed. She crawled on top of him and skated down his abs, tickling the fine hairs there with her breath. His muscles contracted, and his cock bobbed up beneath her, brushing against her cheek.

Logan grabbed her shoulders. “Kara, you don’t have to do this.”

She looked up into his eyes. “I want to.”

“You’re still recovering from yesterday.”

Kara tilted her head to the right and ran her tongue along the crown of his cock, licking up the bead of moisture that leaked from his slit. “Are you going to tell me to stop?”

Logan’s head fell back, and he clenched the sheets in his fists. The tendons in his neck were flexed taut.

Kara slid him into her mouth and sucked the head of his cock. His hips thrust up, sliding him deeper.

Logan groaned. “Mother Night, that feels good.”

She took him deeper, relaxing her throat so she could fit as much of him as possible. She gripped his balls in one hand and rolled them gently between her fingers.

The muscles in his thighs clenched. He wrapped a hand in her hair and gently guided her, coaxing her up and down the length of him.

Kara circled him with her tongue as she sucked. His hand gripping tight in her hair with his dick in her mouth turned her on, making her eager for him. She ground herself on his hard thigh as pleasure built within her.

“Fuck. That’s it.”

His cock pulsed in her throat. He was close. She moved faster, her lips tighter, and his hips seized, thrusting wildly as he groaned her name. Hot seed coated her tongue, and she swallowed it, sucking down every last drop.

Kara cleaned him with her tongue and moved up his body. The glow slowly faded from his eyes. He pulled her up and started kissing her, his stubble scraping her lips and chin. Kara made herself pull back. Her skin still stung from his kisses and she was hot with need, but she wanted to take things slow. She’d shattered in his arms yesterday, and he’d been so protective and gentle when taking care of her with Salizar, but she was hesitant to dive fully back in. So much had happened in the last few days, and whenever she slowed down to think about everything that’d transpired, her chest tightened. She wasn’t even sure if her keening would return this month or not now that the magic eater was gone.

“I need time,” Kara said.
