The Foxling Soldati (Soldati Hearts #2)(38)

Rayner rolled off him, landing on his back beside Toka. He was breathless, but he turned onto his side to face Toka, his handsome face etched with concern.

“Are you all right?”

Toka smiled lazily. “I have never been more all right.” Toka noticed the five thin black bands around his wrist, the last one resembling a tiger stripe. He could barely contain his grin. “Your mark.”

Rayner sighed. “Now you really have to keep me.” He laughed when Toka pounced on him. His body protested the movement, but Toka didn’t care. He was too happy. Rayner held him close, and Toka closed his eyes, releasing a contented sigh.

“Tonight you are the first of your kind, and by tomorrow the realm will be awash with tales of the foxling Soldati.”

Toka smiled as he met Rayner’s proud gaze. “The foxling Soldati. I like the sound of that.”

“Me too.” Rayner kissed him sweetly. “My brave and beautiful foxling Soldati.”
