Night Shift (Kate Daniels #6.5)(134)

“Ale?” Mala asked when she could catch her breath. When Kavik grunted, she reached for the wineskin she’d put beside the bed. He sat up and drank with her, then pulled her over his lap, her thighs straddling his.

He kissed her, and it warmed her better than any drink. She slipped her arms around his neck. Already his cock stood hard again.

She grinned and tasted his mouth. “Was I worth the wait?”

“Worth waiting forever,” he said gruffly.

“Instead you’ll have me that long,” she said and rose over his straining shaft. “Now we’ll ride together.”

His hands caught her waist, holding her in place. Concern deepened his voice. “Are you raw?”

A little. She didn’t care. Biting her lip, she sank onto him, her head falling back as he filled her.

Groaning, Kavik licked the crescent moon at the base of her throat, then rasped against her stinging skin, “Was I worth the pain?”

“And so much more,” she breathed, taking him deeper. Her beast. Her warrior. Her heart.

Having him was worth everything.
