I realize belatedly that my tail fur is stuck to her thigh, and when I pull it free, she rouses, blinking her eyes slowly at me. “Nassakth?”
“I am here.” I touch her pretty face. “How do you feel?”
She leans into my palm, a movement that fills my heart with joy. “Tired. Grimy.” She rubs a fist against her eye adorably. “What time is it?”
“Early.” I squeeze her rump one more time, wishing I had the energy to roll her under me and taste her. After last night’s noli experience, however, my cock (and the rest of me) is in no shape for such things. It does not even rise when Kim’s thighs glide over my skin. My warrior has fallen in glorious battle.
Kim shuffles to the shower, yawning loudly, and I follow behind her. It isn’t until we’re both under the spray and have soaped up that she turns to me with a tiny frown on her face. “Where did all that noli come from?”
I go still. I cannot tell her the truth. I do not want her to fear that she will not be safe from the bounty hunter. I will keep her safe at all costs, no matter what….so she cannot know that he was in her house, on her land. “It…is not important.”
“Excuse me?”
I put soap in Kim’s mane and begin to wash it for her, lathering her hair. “The better question is how did you find me in the barn?”
She sputters at me, indignant. “Don’t try to change the subject. Where did all that noli come from? You looked as if you’d rolled in it!”
“It is not important,” I state again, trying to finish lathering her hair.
Kim slaps my hands away, making a disgruntled noise in her throat. “You’re not going to tell me?”
I lick my lips. Think for a moment. “No.”
She takes a deep breath, then nods. “Okay.”
Good. I am glad she has decided to trust me. I soap her hair a bit more, liking that I can take care of her like this. “Shall I wash your back?”
“Quick question,” Kim asks, and turns to me. There’s a sultry note in her voice and she bites her lip and flutters her lashes as she gazes up at me, her eyes wide. “Did you like touching me last night?”
I groan. Did I think my warrior had been defeated? He stirs, ready for battle yet again at the sight of her biting her lip. “You know I did.”
“You liked it when I rode your face?” Her hand trails down my chest. “When we touched and there were no cuffs, just me and you and enjoying each other?”
“More than anything,” I rasp, unable to look away from her as her fingers “walk” up my chest.
She curls her fingers sharply into my mane, tugging hard. Her sultry expression immediately changes to a scowl. “If you ever want to touch me again, you’ll trust me. I don’t like secrets, Nassakth! You know that!”
I swallow hard.
Is it possible to be more turned on than ever before? Because I love Kim’s ferocity. I love that she glares up at me, wholly unafraid, and tugs on my mane hard enough to make me wince. I love that she does not tremble, I love that she is nude as she snarls at me like a ferocious gladiatrix.
I am so proud of her….and I hate lying. Just…not enough to change my ways just yet. “If you must know, I had a bad dream and imagined that I saw your farm crumbling. I could not sleep, so I went to check it for myself, and forgot about the noli pollen.”
She peers up at me. “Is your nose bloody?”
I touch my nostrils, and sure enough, the water has loosened the scabbed-over scratch from where the bounty hunter yanked the breather free. “It must have happened last night.”
Kim flushes bright red. “I think I would have noticed if I hurt you.”
“You never hurt me,” I promise her. “I was just…not careful.”
“That’s not like you, Nassakth.” She continues to watch me with a wary expression on her face. “You’re very careful with everything. Is…something going on that’s distracting you?”
“Just mating to a beautiful human,” I murmur, purring. “And making sure she is well-pleasured.”
“Don’t even start,” she huffs, but the frustration is gone from her tone. She melts against me, soapy and warm. “I just worry about you, okay? I know you’re used to being alone—I am, too—but there’s another person to think about now. You have to remember that I worry about you, just like you worry about me.”
“I will remember,” I promise, and silently vow that no one will ever harm a hair on Kim’s head. No one.
“Good.” She smiles up at me and offers her face for a kiss, which I gladly give her. My arms slide around her waist and I pull her against me, my cock stiff and aching with need once more. Ah, this female. She is incredible. She—
