When the kiss broke, Kit laughed. “What was that for?”
Lachlan let out a breath. “I’m just so glad I found you. I’m so glad I didn’t lose you. You’re wonderful. You’re perfect.” Then he kissed Kit again. And again.
At some point, they returned to work. And for the rest of the day, everything went smoothly in the bakery. When they finished, they went upstairs, laden with bread, cookies, tarts, and pies. They sat, ate, and drank hot chocolate with his family and their partners, everyone complimenting the food.
“This bread is amazing,” Briar said.
Wulfric bit into a meat pie. “This is the best pie I’ve ever eaten.”
Into the night, they sang carols, read ghost stories, and kept eating and drinking. When Kit began to fall asleep by the fire, Lachlan rose and tugged Kit to his feet. “Come on, let’s go to bed.” And they went to their room.
Lachlan closed the door, and he turned to see Kit pulling his shirt over his head. Lachlan let out a breath, gazing at Kit’s leanback. Lachlan removed his shirt. His body felt hot all over, and hunger pooled in his gut.
Kit’s tail poked out from the top of his trousers. They’d have to make adjustments to those. Lachlan couldn’t imagine Kit’s tail being constricted like that was comfortable. Kit’s tail swayed back and forth. Kit stretched his lean arms above his head.
Lachlan’s breath hitched. He wanted Kit. He ached for him.
Now that he’d opened his eyes, everything seemed to just come together so quickly. He stepped up behind Lachlan and wrapped his arms around Kit’s waist. Kit gripped Lachlan’s arms.
Lowering his head, Lachlan kissed Kit’s shoulder. Goosebumps broke out over Kit’s skin. Kit purred with pleasure.
“I know I said I wanted to take this slow.” Once again, Lachlan pressed his lips against Kit’s warm skin. “And it’s completely fine if you want to go slow. I’d completely understand that.”
Lachlan took a deep breath, inhaling Kit’s delicious scent. “But I want you, Kit.” He splayed his hand over Kit’s abdomen, feeling the muscles tense. “And I’m ready for more than just cuddling and kissing with you. Lots more.”
“Like sex?” Kit whispered.
“Yes. But you’ll have to guide me.” Lachlan let out a nervous laugh. “Everything I’ve ever done has been with you.”
CHAPTER 19
Lachlan’s words of want poured over Kit like silk. The sounds of his voice vibrated through Kit, awakening every nerve in his body.
Lachlan wanted him. He wanted to have sex with Kit.
Kit closed his eyes, savouring the moment.
When everything had fallen apart after he’d shifted into a human, all he’d wanted was to fix things and find a way to be back together. Even if it meant being a cat forever and forgetting he’d ever been two-formed, Kit would have done it for Lachlan.
But now he stood as a human in Lachlan’s embrace, knowing Lachlan wanted him. Him. In both his forms.
Sleeping in Lachlan’s arms, working in the bakery, spending time cuddling with Lachlan by the fire—it had all been perfect. And it was about to get even better.
Kit turned in Lachlan’s arms and faced him.
“Will you fuck me?” Kit asked.
Lachlan’s mouth fell open. He didn’t speak for a second. “I’ve… I’ve never done that before.”
Kit squeezed his waist. “I know.”
No one had ever kissed Lachlan but Kit. No one had ever touched him but Kit. And if Kit had his way, no one else ever would.
My witch. All mine.
Kit purred, pressing their bodies close. “Do you want to fuck me?” Kit placed his palm on Lachlan’s chest, feeling the rise and fall. “It will feel so good, your cock inside me, stretching me.” His arsehole clenched at the thought. “I’ll be so tight and hot around your cock. It’s been a long time for me.”
Lachlan groaned. “Yes,” he whispered, voice ragged. “I want that.”
