Page 52 of I Dated a Holiday Hero
“I can feel the differences, but as long as it’s you, I don’t care which skin you wear.”
She wanted to say something witty, but she arched and clutched at him, holding tight as her throat made a small choking sound. Every nerve in her body lit up, and heat raced through her. It was a new orgasm that heated her skin from scalp to toes. He continued that slow rock until, finally, she shuddered and whined. He leaned in and licked sweat from her neck.
She could feel his smile against her skin. She croaked. “Be smug, you deserve it.”
He laughed softly. “Not smug, just happy.”
“When did you get rid of the cuffs?”
“At the moment I wanted you holding me, which is as soon as I am inside you.” He smiled. “The timing is vague.”
“I thought you were gonna bite.”
He shook his head. “Don’t need to. You bit me on our second date.”
Hever blinked. “I did?”
“Yeah. That is when I knew that we were a match.” He smiled and kissed her softly.
She held him and stroked his neck. He rolled them to his back, and she opened her wings, drying the sweat that had built up.
Krix grinned. “Did they get squished?”
“Nope, just sweaty.”
He laughed. He ran his hands up and down her waist and ribs. “I think I am going to remember this moment forever.”
She smiled. “The date?”
“You astride me, your wings up and out, and fireworks happening outside the window. Best. Holidays. Ever.” He smiled and stroked her breast. “If life is a series of moments, this is one I want to keep in my mind.”
She chuckled. “It is going to be a problem when you go up against psychics.”
He grinned. “It will certainly be distracting.”
She laughed and shook her head. “My naked, knotted body isn’t an offensive weapon.”
“Don’t forget your wings.” He chuckled. “Your wings are very hot.”
She chuckled and ran her hands idly over his chest and belly. “Thank you. I really appreciate having them back, and once we are a little less entangled, I will show you how appreciative I can be.”
He grinned. “I look forward to it. Really. But, first, I think we can separate and have some room service.”
“Uh-huh. Are you still vasectomized?”
He nodded with a frown. “Yes. Why?”
“Good. They had to remove my birth control after the explosion. Well, my body ejected them during healing. Foreign bodies and all. So, I am depending on you to shoot blanks for a while.”
“I can do that.” He grinned.
His knot relaxed, and she sighed in relief and eased away. She folded her wings in and stood up, stretching. She walked to the window and watched the lights and celebrations happening down below.
“Hever?”
“Hm?”
He laughed. “Hever, turn around.”
