“Is it here that you’re hurting?” His breath hit a wet patch on her leg, and desire roughened his tone. He pushed her legs wider with the weight of his shoulders—and slipped a finger inside her.

Pleasure exploded around his touch. It felt warm, with an edge of spice that burned and soothed the ache in equal parts. The power of his healing magic was completely different when it caressed her from the inside.

Violet gasped in surprise as desire surged through her, making her toes curl. She grabbed his shoulders as his lips collided with her aching center, and her moans died in her throat.

It was too much and not enough. He took her with eager strokes of his tongue, matching the pace his fingers had set inside her. She supported her weight on the mattress with one arm and wrapped the other hand through the strands of his wavy hair, pulling him closer.

Pleasure coiled tighter as he flattened his tongue against her, and soon she came undone, falling over the precipice in a quivering mess.

Gavin stood slowly and studied every inch of her on display. Freshly exposed skin pebbled with the chill of the air as she shrugged off her shirt. Then she reached for him, clawing at his shoulders and capturing his lips with her own in a demanding kiss.

The bed screeched over the floor, banging against the wall. She pulled his tunic up his torso and tore it off, revealing an expanse of skin wrapped around tight ropes of muscle. Moles and freckles peppered every part of him that she touched. She was ready for him again.

Violet undid the ties of his pants and pushed them down the generous curve of his ass, letting her fingers play along the two dimples of his lower back and up his spine. He broke away from her lips and traced kisses down her jaw and neck.

He was iron wrapped in velvet when he pushed inside her. At first, he set a rhythm that matched what he had done to her beforehand, but then he slowed down. As if he was savoring her.

Violet rarely liked slow, tender sex. She preferred hard fucking over making love any day. But this was different. She’d never felt this way for anyone, and her need to take her time filled her as surely as Gavin did. She relaxed into it, and he pushed deeper until every inch of him was buried inside her, palming one of her breasts.

“Gods, you’re tight. Does that feel better now?” Gavin grunted against her neck. Then he lifted her up from the bed in one swift move and pushed her against the wall, thrusting inside her. The room shook as he continued his wonderful torture. “Or do you need more? Is this ungentlemanly enough for you?”

“Yes,” Violet said in a breathy tone.

He seemed to be everywhere at once. His teeth nipping at her neck, his fingers digging mercilessly into the line of her ass, sending her over the edge. Her vision blackened as pleasure ripped through her in waves that took her breath away.

When his pace faltered, a trace of panic rose to the back of her mind. He was close. She couldn’t let him come inside her. Not unless she wanted to risk losing her battle against Dargan, before she’d even had the chance to tell Gavin about it. She needed to give him a choice…

The moment she came down from the cloud of her orgasm, she pushed him hard enough that he stopped and stumbled away. Then she sank to her knees and took his cock in her mouth. His fingers dug into her scalp with a surprised groan as she moved up and down his length, matching the rhythm of his hips. He came in her mouth a split second later.

His taste was intoxicating. He watched, breathing heavily as she licked all of him. Then he bent down and picked her up from the ground and threw her on the bed, pulling a roll of laughter from her.

The light of the moon seeped through the window, grazing the ridges of his abs. He continued to stand and stare, watching her crawl under the blankets. “What are you doing over there?” She patted the bed beside her. “Bring your ass in here.”

“Since you’re asking so nicely…” A slow smile spread over his face as he climbed underneath the sheets alongside her.

She wrapped around him like a limpet, loving the way his breaths tickled her face and how his fingers caressed her shoulders.

“I would never have guessed you enjoyed cuddling,” Gavin murmured.

“Not sure what gave you that impression. I’m the sweetest—most cuddly—person, you know.” She burrowed her nose into his skin and grinned at the soft snort of laughter that came from him. It was endearing in the best possible way.

This time, she didn’t stop the smile when his lips brushed over her head. “You taste sweet, but that’s only for me to know.”

Her cheeks burned. “And now Mios undoubtedly knows it too… I’m pretty sure he can hear through walls.”

Gavin cursed. “I’m going to have to kill him. A pity, really, since I like the man.”

She laughed and enjoyed the quiet sense of peace that suffused her. “Gavin?”

“Hmm?” The lazy movements of his hand over her skin grew weaker as sleep began to pull at him.

“I’m sorry about what happened to you with Julius. I know what it feels like to be betrayed. I wish you’d never had to go through that.”

He looked down at her, blinking, before he let out a tired sigh. “I wished I’d killed him before he ever got the chance to touch you, Violet. I should have suspected something was off. There were signs I ignored because I couldn’t believe he was so awful… He sent me the other way, and it didn’t even sound suspicious to me until a couple of days ago, after you spoke to me. I should have questioned him more.”

“I know the feeling,” she admitted.

“Are you afraid of becoming with child? Is that why—?”
