“Are you okay? You seem tired and a little pale.” Her weary appearance was more apparent now that I could study her up close. Dark circles ringed her eyes. It looked like she hadn’t slept since I left.
“I’m fine. It’s just been a long day.”
“Well, I’m here now, and I’ll help you with anything you need.”
She grinned at me. “I know. I’m happy you’re back.” She rested her head on my shoulder. “We have a lot to talk about, Night.”
“Yeah, we do.” I touched her chin and kissed her again, but this time, I took my time tasting her, relishing the softness of her lipson mine. I kissed her a third time, even more slowly, and let my tongue slip out to meet hers. When I pulled back, her face was bright red, and those blue-gray eyes were hazy with lust. Mm. Good.
“Let’s save the talking for later,” I murmured, pulling off my clothes.
Her grin showed her agreement, and she removed the pastel-blue nightgown. Her warm skin smoothed over mine as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. She was still under the covers, but I felt every curve of her as I covered her body with mine. Kissing her deeply, I took my time to explore every corner of her mouth.
I dragged my tongue lower, to her neck, then to her breasts. Bryn groaned low in her throat as I took one nipple into my mouth. Her hands found my hair, tugging gently on it as I fondled and sucked her skin.
“Night,” she murmured, squirming below me. The sheet began to slip down, allowing me more access to her. “I missed you.”
Her nipple fell from my mouth with a slightpop.She shivered, grinning up at me. “I missed you, too,” I said, pressing against her. Her heat seeped through the thin cover as I rubbed myself against her. She cooed, tugging harder at the strands.
“You’re teasing me,” she whined.
“Me? Tease you?” I nuzzled her and licked the spot where I’d claimed her. She jerked like electricity had just sparked across her skin. “Mm,” I growled, looking up at her flushed face, her mouth slightly open as she panted. “Maybe I am teasing a little bit.”
“No more.” She stroked her hands lower over my neck, moving beneath me and kicking off the cover so we could be skin-to-skin at last. “I want you.”
I chuckled and caught her lips again. Her legs opened, and I sank deeply between them. I reached down to take her leg, lifting her knee higher as I filled her.
“Ah.” She broke the kiss to sink her head into the pillows. “Ah—Night!”
“That’s right, baby,” I whispered in her ear. “Say my name.”
“Night,” she murmured, turning her head and running her tongue along my jaw.
Bryn’s muscles tightened around me, eliciting a groan from me. She gave a breathless giggle and did it again, holding it longer. I exhaled sharply.
“Dammit, Bryn, I’m trying to go slow.”
She continued to give me that devious grin and tightened around me again. “Maybe I don’t want you to go slow…”
I thrust once inside her until I was buried to the hilt, swallowing her cry with my mouth. My hands dipped low to grip her ass and lift her for even better access.
She tugged at my hair, and I growled into her mouth, pressing her into the mattress. Bryn broke our kiss with a moan, her thighs tightening against my body. The wood of the bedframe cracked beneath us.
“Yes, yes, yes,” she panted with each thrust. “Night!”
I dragged my mouth down to where her neck met her shoulder, sinking my teeth into her soft flesh. The salt and sweetness ofher blood dripped into my mouth and pooled on my tongue like magma. She clawed at my back, raking her nails down my skin. Her next moan was more of a howl as her wolf moved closer to the surface. We both drew blood, and the slight pain only heightened the pleasure.
Bryn threw her head back and screamed as her orgasm quaked through her. She came in ecstasy, juices flowing from her and across the bed. I clenched my teeth as my own climax hit me.
After, we lay tangled in each other, her head nestled against my chest and my arms wrapped around her.
“I’m glad we didn’t break the bed,” she said.
I gave a tired chuckle and kissed her forehead. “This time,” I said. “But who knows what will happen next time?”
She giggled and ran her fingers up and down my chest. “So, how were things when you went home? Is the pack doing well?”
“Yeah, the Wargs are doing great. And there hasn’t been any increased feral activity at the borders.”
