She tugged at his jeans, but he stopped her, catching her by the chin and tilting her face up

"I don’t think you do How can you?"
Setting his hands on his knees, he exhaled in a rush "Mated lycans live longer"
"What? What did you say?"
"You heardyou crazier than you already were to begin with"

"Go shower," she said again
"Join oing through this twice Suffering through the debilitating, devastating pain twice And she was stunned that she could even equate the two side one she’d known only a matter of days How could she feel this way so swiftly? Worse, there was no doubt her affection for Elijah would grow as ti even more necessary until she wouldn’t be able to breathe without him

He glanced at her as he went to the dresser and checked his cel phone "You’re doing enough watching for the both of us, cougar You’re ogling, real y My ass is burning"
"It’s a very nice ass" She was startled by the throatiness of her voice Due to his effect on her, of course The one she’d been experiencing since she first saw hi in a Utah cave, his luscious body stil vibrating with the threat of i to think about the end She was going to focus on the here and now, taking everything she could fro to pass with the swiftness of a dreaht as the sun so that when the time came, she’d burn out with him
She unzipped her vest and said with unmistakable possession, "Mine"

Deterone down on him, Vash released his hands and stroked hih sound of pleasure was as beautiful to her ears as his singing When his fingers tangled in her hair and began directing her, she gave herself over to hi the confidence hich he took what he needed from her It hadn’t been that ith Char, who’d been reverent with her Elijah was a much earthier creature He was both a lycan, with a beast’s base needs, and a man who understood his wo of her lips and deepened the suction, dizzy with desire and love The taste of him, so clean and rich and purely reedy for hi the plush head, she asped, his thighs tre her head, she released hith between her cleavage She pressed her ar erection with the breasts he loved so much
