He turned to look at the bedside clock to see howthe red numbers, were four bottles of sports drink A note was taped to the top of one

He grabbed her shoulders, holding her steady while he kissed his way to her other breast so he could taste it, too

"I’ this," she said, breathless "You’re dehydrated"

He didn’t give a fuck about that right now All he cared about hether she et enough to take hio only because he really wanted to get her under hie to move her there, she slipped away and rolled over his body until she was standing on the floor beside the bed She grabbed one of the bottles and thrust it at hiuinar’s orders"

If that hat it would take to get her to couzzled the bottle down, staring at her the whole time A trickle escaped the corner of his mouth and Nika’s eyes followed it down his chest

She licked her lips as Madoc tossed the ee of the bed and leaned forward Her tonguethe path the liquid had taken down his torso

Madoc’s body clenched He felt her sliding inside his head, poking around He didn’t want her to see ho his need for her was, how consuentle with her Go slow Make up for what he’d done before

He gripped her arms and pulled her up until he could kiss her Her ainst his Her lips parted to let his tongue slide in and taste her
