“I haven’t ever seen you in casual clothing before. It looks good on you.”
He was wearing a pair of black slacks, shiny black shoes, a belted tunic that had gold trim, and it fit snugly over his chest. Sethir formal.
“So, you default to Sethir fancy dress?” She smiled.
“Yes. It’s what I grew up wearing for serious occasions.”
“This is serious?”
Krix nodded. “It is.”
“Okay. Serious mode activated.”
“Good. We are going to have some serious hot chocolate, listen to some serious music, maybe some serious dancing, get some serious marshmallows, and then spend some serious time at the hotel. Reservations are in place.”
Hever sighed. “I love a plan. Is there room for more snacks? I am a fan of all things deep fried.”
He laughed. “Then, you shall have it. Do you have any shopping left to do?”
“Oh, damn. Now I’m hot.” She exhaled slowly.
“Down girl.” He laughed. He looked happy. His eyes were twinkling.
“Well, not here, but if you find a quiet alley...”
He laughed, and they went straight for the hot chocolate. It was the beginning of a spectacular date.
She gasped and clutched at the chain that the cuffs he had fashioned were attached to. His mouth moved on her ceaselessly, and she moaned and rolled her hips against his mouth. He gripped her thighs and held her as the slow licks and curls around her clit sent her into whining and panting before a final sob and shudder heralded her orgasm. It was her third since they got into the room, and he didn’t seem to be stopping.
She was gasping as her warm body felt full of warm syrup. Her wings were nestled against the sheets, and she had to ask, “Okay, who are you, and what did you do to Krix?”
He lifted his head and kissed her belly before nibbling and sucking at her breasts on the way to her mouth. The kiss was something she was able to meet, and she wrapped her legs around him.
He smiled against her mouth, and when he whispered, “I was encouraged to catch up on missed classes, so I did some research. I am sorry our first dates were so hurried, but I couldn’t believe you said yes.”
She shivered at the feel of him against her. “The cuffs?” She wiggled her fingers in the wide, comfortable restraint.
“When you touch me, I lose it. I black out, and getting inside you is the most important thing in the world. My body aches, my knot hurts, and it is over quickly after that.”
She arched against him. “My sympathies.”
“You, love, are the cause and the cure.”
She blinked rapidly.Love. Only Veradil had ever told her she was loved. She was liked, respected, but love was a step too far.
She leaned up to catch his mouth in a kiss, and he obliged for a seething few minutes until she was sweaty and twisting under him.
He leaned back, and his eyes glowed. “So, Hever, are you coming into a heat?”
She bit her lip and nodded.
“Best present ever. How long does it last?”
“That depends on you.” She stroked her foot up the back of his leg, up to his thigh.
He groaned and murmured something she didn’t hear, but he angled his erection to enter her, and she closed her eyes and focused on the thick slide of him inside her. He went to the edge of his knot and then retreated. He eased forward again, and she stopped thinking.
He fucked her slowly, and when she was clawing at him, he groaned and sank into her, his knot widened her, and then he locked in place as it swelled even more.
