"Chi,"I gasped, my back arching as his teeth found the hollow at the base of my throat. His answering purr vibrated against my skin, a sound so inherently feline that it made something primal within me respond.
"I wantto devour you and make you scream my name Alice," he murmured against my collarbone, his hands working at the buttons of my shirt with nimble fingers. "Watching Heart claim you, feeling the echo of it through the bonds... it nearly drove me mad with wanting."
His confession sentheat pooling low in my belly. Through our silver bond, I felt his restraint finally snapping—weeks of careful distance, of letting others take precedence, all crumbling in the face of his need for me.
"Then devour me,"I whispered, my voice barely audible as his shirt joined mine on the floor. The silver patterns beneath his skin pulsed with predatory satisfaction at my words.
Chi's eyesdarkened to the color of deep ocean water, his pupils dilating as he took in my bare skin glowing with silver and gold light. "You have no idea what you're asking for," he warned, though his hands were already mapping the curves of my waist with reverent touches.
"Show me,"I challenged, watching the way his tail lashed behind him with barely contained excitement.
The soundthat escaped him was purely feline—a rumbling purr mixed with something far more dangerous. In one fluid motion, he had me pinned beneath him, his weight settling between my thighs as silver light blazed from every point of contact.
"My beautiful Alice,"he purred against my ear, his breath hot against my skin. "You have no idea how long I've wanted this—how many nights I've watched you sleep and imagined having you like this."
His words sentshivers racing down my spine as his hands worked to remove the rest of my clothes with practiced efficiency. Each newly exposed inch of skin seemed to glow brighter under his reverent gaze, the pattern responding to his desire with cascading waves of silver and gold light.
"So responsive,"Chi murmured, his fingers tracing the luminous designs flowing across my ribs. "Even more beautiful than I imagined."
When his mouthfollowed the path his hands had taken, I gasped at the sensation of his tongue against my heated skin. Unlike Heart's claiming intensity, Chi's touch carried a feline patience—thorough, deliberate, designed to drive me slowly mad with wanting.
"Chi, please," I breathe, my voice breaking as his tongue traced intricate patterns across my skin that seemed to mirror the silver light flowing beneath it.
"Please what?"Chi purred against my skin, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through my chest. His silver eyes glowedwith predatory satisfaction as he lifted his head to meet my gaze. "Use your words, Alice."
The command sentliquid fire racing through my veins. Through our silver bond, I felt his desire to hear me vocalize exactly what I wanted—no assumptions, no half-measures, just honest need laid bare between us.
"Please touch me,"I whispered, my cheeks burning despite everything we'd already shared. "I need you."
Chi's tailflicked with obvious pleasure at my words. "Where do you want me to touch you?" he asked, his fingers ghosting along my ribs just beneath my breasts. "Here?" His touch moved lower, tracing patterns across my stomach that made the pattern beneath my skin sing. "Or here?"
I gaspedas his hand drifted lower still, hovering just above where I needed him most. "Or perhaps here?" he teased, his silver eyes watching my face with rapt attention.
"Everywhere,"I managed to gasp, arching toward his touch. "Chi, please don't tease me."
A slow,wicked smile spread across his face, revealing the tips of his fangs. "But teasing you is half the pleasure," he murmured, finally sliding his hand between my thighs. "Watching you come undone slowly... seeing every flicker of desire cross your face..."
I moanedas his fingers found their target, the pattern beneath my skin flaring brilliantly at his touch. Unlike Heart's golden fire, Chi's silver energy felt like cool moonlight—soothing yet somehow more intense for its gentleness. His tail curled possessively around my ankle as he explored with deliberate precision, mapping every sensitive spot with the thoroughness of a scholar studying ancient texts.
"So wet for me already,"Chi purred, his voice rough with satisfaction as he discovered how ready I was for him. His fingers moved in slow, maddening circles that had me writhing beneath him. "I can smell your arousal, Alice. It's driving me absolutely wild."
The admission mademe flush deeper, but Chi's obvious pleasure in my response banished any embarrassment. Through our silver bond, I felt his primal satisfaction—not just at my physical reaction, but at being the cause of it.
"More,"I pleaded, my hips rising to meet his touch. "I need more."
Chi's purr deepened,vibrating through his chest as he added another finger, stretching me slowly while his thumb maintained that perfect rhythm. "Patience, my beautiful Alice. I want to savor every second of having you like this." His silver eyes held mine as he worked, drinking in every expression that crossed my face. "I've imagined this so many times—how you'd look, how you'd sound, how you'd feel wrapped around me."
His words sentanother wave of heat through me, the pattern beneath my skin pulsing in rhythm with his movements. I could feel myself approaching that familiar edge, tension coiling tighter with each deliberate stroke of his fingers.
"That's it,"Chi encouraged, his voice a low rumble against my ear. "Let go for me, Alice. I want to watch you fall apart."
The combinationof his skilled touch and whispered commands shattered my control. I came with a cry that seemed to echo through the entire cabin, my body arching as waves of pleasure crashed through our silver bond. Chi's answering purr was pure satisfaction as he worked me through the aftershocks.
"Beautiful,"Chi murmured, pressing gentle kisses along my throat as I came down from the high. His fingers stilled but remained buried within me, keeping me connected to him as aftershocks rippled through the silver bond between us. "Absolutely exquisite."
I struggledto catch my breath, the pattern beneath my skin still pulsing with residual pleasure. Chi's silver eyes studied my face with obvious satisfaction, his tail tightening around my ankle as if to anchor me to the moment.
"You're not finishedwith me yet, are you?" I asked breathlessly, noting the tension in his body despite his seemingly relaxed demeanor.
