Raika undid the zipper of my pants before continuing her game from before, moving her hand up and down my length, making me harder and harder. I moved my hips with her hand, as the ecstasy built up inside of me.
This woman … the way her touch enticed me, the way the glint in her eyes made me content, the way her scent drove me crazy. She was everything to me.
I smoothed my hands down her arms, intent on taking her hands away, so we could continue this another way, but then I felt how hot her skin was.
I pulled back. “Raika, you’re burning up.”
“Shit.” She took in a deep breath. “Yeah, I can feel it.” She pouted. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.” I wanted to embrace her, to kiss her again, but I was afraid of what that could do to her, so I stood there, a foot from her and in deep agony. “Your health comes first.”
She inhaled deeply a few more times then touched her forehead. “It’s getting better.”
I rested a hand on her arm. “Yes, it is, but we should stop bec—”
“I think there’s something I can do, though.” She knelt in front of me, tugged my pants down a little bit, and freed my hard-on. She closed her hand around it and I sucked in sharp breath.
“Raika,” I growled.
“It’s okay,” she said, looking up at me. “This should be okay.”
Then, she closed her mouth around me, and I cursed under my breath. I should tell her to stop, I should tell her she didn’t need to do this, but damn, when it felt this good, I couldn’t. Right now, I was at her mercy.
I was always at her mercy.
She licked my length, then closed her mouth around it, sucking it hard. She moved slow at first, but oh, so deep. After a few strokes, she sped up, taking me even deeper inside her mouth. Groaning, I slid my hands in her hair, cradling the back of her head. I couldn’t help it. I moved my hips in rhythm with her, needing more, wanting more.
Desire and ecstasy coursed through me and I knew I wouldn’t last. I groaned again. “Just keep going,” I said, my voice thick.
To my surprise, Raika sped up.
Oh, shit.
My knees buckled, and I had to brace a hand on the tree behind Raika when I climaxed. I tried pulling away from Raika’s mouth, but she gripped my ass and took everything in her mouth. When I stopped, she licked my length, making me shiver, and she smiled up at me.
“You …” I growled.
She rose to her feet. “Me, what?”
Dear moon. I fisted her hair and pulled her to me. I kissed her so hard, I hoped to leave a permanent mark on her beautiful lips.
Mine, that was what it should say.
I broke the kiss, resting my forehead to hers. “That was …” I took in a deep breath.
She smiled some more. “I’m glad you liked it.”
It was a shame I couldn’t pay her back. With a sigh, I zipped up my pants, made sure I looked presentable, then hand in hand, we strolled toward the village.

RAIKA
“This looks perfect, Chef Morris. Thank you.” I kissed the old vampire’s cheek. He smiled coyly at me and shooed me away from his kitchen. Clutching the heavy silver tray, I left and walked through the castle’s hallways.
Last night, Shane and I had dinner in the village with Minsi, Tyren, Rue, Dom, and Lucille. Dom seemed a little off, and Shane said he had noticed Dom quieter since they came back from our pack lands.
“I’ll talk to him,” he promised.
