Mira huffed out a harsh breath "How convenient for you"

Shethe fact that she ounded She hated the rawness inside her, hated that he ht hear it noould certainly see it in her lance, but Kellan wouldn’t permit it

Merciless, he lifted her face, thenaway the trail of one fat tear with a brush of his thumb across her cheek

He took her face in his hands and kissed her Not the gentle nip and brush of hisPossessive and hot, his kiss invaded her without patience or ave in to it with abandon

She couldn’t deny hih her body inher body against his hard planes and rigid edges

Like a daer resistance flooded out of her, along with the last sht She wrapped her ar kiss Inside, she wasin her core Liel beneath her

She wanted him God, how she wanted him

Wanted thisinto the heat of hi hands skimmed around to the front of her and slipped beneath the loose cotton of her T-shirt His fingers were rough against her bare skin, ht, raising a shiver on her as his palms skated up her ribs, toward the naked swells of her breasts He cupped them in his hands, squeezed theht as pebbles under his caress

Mira buried her face in the curve of his strong shoulder, relishing the feel of his hands all over her bare skin She touched hi theevery inch of hih they’d never been apart "Oh, GodKellan I’ve missed this so rowl that vibrated all the way to herfor peruided her toward the bed, kissing her every step of the way

She couldn’t have resisted if she tried Everything fe and wanton and wet, so ready to welcome him back to her

He pushed her down onto theher with his body His tongue delved deep into herher exactly where they were heading Mira opened to hi when he retreated, sub to him, arched for him, yearned to have him buried deep inside her

He knehat she needed from him, even now He knew just how to touch her, just how to kiss her He knew everything, still, after all this tiers into his thick chestnut hair as he took herand drugged beneath hied to strip off her sweats and panties, didn’t th of her body, pushing up the he the flat plane of her belly Sheup off the bed as he kneaded her breasts, then took one peachy nipple into his raze of his teeth

"You taste the saainst her skin "Still sweet and tender"

She couldn’t reply, could only twist her fingers in the sheet and suck in her breath as hisa trail of fire everywhere his lips touched her skin He paused at her hip bone, licked its delicate ridge "Sweeter here"

Oh, God

She lifted her head and watched as he drifted lower still He glanced up at her as he hs, his irises swa the thin vertical lines of his pupils That otherworldly, predatory gaze stayed locked on her, the tips of his fangs stretching longer, sharper as his broad s and sank down between theht curls at the , veins filled with liquid fire Another kiss, this one lingeringinto the sensitive folds He licked her slowly, suckling her, drawing the tender bud against the wet heat of his tongue His approving growl vibrated against her quivering sex as he went deeper "So sweet and juicy This is what I thirst for You, Mira"

He went down on her again The air shuddered out of her lungs on a ragged sigh, sensation shooting through her like tiny lightning bolts, the couing her,the petals of her body weep for hi up to reach for hi into the hard bulk of his shoulders "Please, Kellan I don’t want to wait I’m afraid to wait another second"

Afraid the moment would somehow shatter and reality would toss theo: Eneers, not friends

Back to a man and woman with a distant, shared past, an uneasy present, and a dubious, uncertain future

Mira couldn’t let go of hiain I want you inside rowl Hethe way Mira drank in the sight of hi and powerful

So alive

How long had she drea hireedy for him now Desperate to hold him close, as close as their bodies possibly could be

Kellan covered her, every inch of hiain, deep and long and possessive His thighs edged between hers, his arousal heavy and hard, the thick shaft nestled upright in the h

Mira shifted her hips, seating hiue, and his cock gave a little kick in response Kellan moaned into her mouth, a raw sound of need He broke their kiss with a curse and stared down at her, propped up on his fists

"I want to go sloith you, but" His voice trailed off, and he shook his head, giving a slight press of his pelvis The head of his penis nudged into her, testing "Ah, Christyou feel too good"
