Khan (Bowen Boys, #2)(41)

It wasn’t a question, but she answered him. “Yes. Very much so. Please, Khan, I want to come. So badly. Help me.”

“I have to tell you something. Some of it you might have figured out, but I need to tell you something important.” She nearly had him forget what he was telling her when she lifted her legs higher around him and hooked her ankles. “You never play fair.”

“Neither do you. Tell me or f*ck me. I’m dying here.” He laughed, and she moaned when he gave her three quick strokes with his cock. “Please.”

“I’m wealthy.” She looked at him and laid back down. “I had some money before, but after Walker and Caitlynne got married, she set each of us up with a nice, fat account and paid off all our debt.”

“Okay. Is that it? I don’t care how much money you have. I have none, so we balance each other out. But if you don’t give me what I want, I’m going to be a widow and have all your thousands anyway.”

“Millions.” She stopped moving; her breath caught. “I was a millionaire because of my business before she had given us money. I was in the process of selling it off when she and Walker met. When I found out about the money and after the sale of my business, I tried to give it back to her and she said no. Did you know she was a billionaire?”

“This is her house?” He nodded. “I thought it…I don’t know, came with the job she has with the CIA.”

He nuzzled her breast and took her nipple into his mouth before he lifted his head again. “I want you to know that no matter what it is you want to do, where you want to live, that you’ll never have to worry about money. Ever.”

When he moved in her now, she didn’t move. He didn’t mind and knew that he could bring her back to the point they’d been before he’d spoken. He had needed to tell her because of the conversation he’d had with Walker about his new mate.

Her climax rolled through her and she grabbed his shoulders as he nipped at her throat. When he scraped his teeth along the vein, she flipped him to his back and sat up.

“I want you to know that if you do this to me again during sex, I’ll do the opposite of what I did to you this morning. Understand?”

Khan rolled her back to her back and pounded hard through several strokes before he lifted his head. “You are my mate, now and forever. I never want you to worry. Ever.”

Lowering his head, he bit her. Her scream of pleasure brought him over the tight edge he’d been near since he’d entered her. He felt her lick his own throat and tilted his head to let her have him. When her teeth sank hard and successfully drew blood, he came again, emptying himself of not only his climax, but of everything he was.

Sealing the wounds at her throat, he felt her tongue do the same to him. He lifted his head and looked down at her. She was looking a little pissed, so he kissed her again. He rolled them so that she was spread over him and he was on his back.

“Why did you tell me like that? Were you afraid I’d run away from you or something?”

He laughed. “No. I told you like that because I didn’t want you to ever think that you have to worry. Walker said you asked Caitlynne if I was going to lose my job being here with you.”

She sat up and rested her chin on her hand. “I don’t know that much about you. Hardly anything. Like, what is your birthday?”

“July twenty-fourth. Yours is March tenth. And Marshall told me. But that’s all I know too. We should spend some time together seeing the Capitol and hanging out together.” He laid her head back on his chest. “After a nap. You’ve worn me out.”





Chapter Fifteen


They enjoyed the day. Monica had never been to DC before and she’d not seen much more of the city than Caitlynne’s back yard and house since she’d come here with Caitlynne over three weeks ago. And Khan was being a wonderful tour guide. He told her that for his business, he’d traveled a great deal and had seen a lot of capitals.

“I had a very nice law firm. We worked all sorts of cases and had a few high profile trials. During that time, I did a lot of traveling for myself. I had to get away at the time. Then after Roseann…after her, I simply sold out and went back home to lick my wounds.”

Monica nodded. She knew about licking wounds. She had been doing the same thing since Tony had decided that she was for him. They stopped at a little restaurant and had some wonderful gyros and fries. She couldn’t believe how much she was able to eat nowadays.

“It’s the extra energy you’re burning.”

She flushed.

“Not just with the sex, but as the partial panther you’ve become. We burn hotter, and though you can’t shift, you’re still burning a great many calories. Wait until you’re pregnant. You’ll really pack it away.”

Her fork stopped halfway to her mouth. “Do you want children? With me? I don’t know what sort of mother to be to panthers. Do they require anything different?”

“Yes. They eat raw steak at birth and they can chew your breast off when you nurse them.” Her fork dropped and he burst out laughing. “I’m kidding. No. They’re normal babies until they reach around thirteen. Some can shift early, like my mom, but mostly it’s around puberty. You should have seen the look on your face.”

Monica threw her napkin at him. He smiled at her gently and took her hand. She loved it when he looked at her like that.
