“You’ll what?” Quick as a flash, he pinned my wrists to the bed with one hand while reaching for my breast with the other. Nimble fingers pinched a hard nipple, and I groaned.
“I’ll…I’ll…” I wasn’t sure I liked this version of Kai. “Please!”Fiiine,so I wasn’t above begging. Sometimes such shameless behavior was a necessary evil in this terrible world.
He slid in another inch, then two more. I whimpered and begged and tried arching my back, but it was no use. Kai had the willpower of a troll. And trust me, those dudes were immovable mountains when they dug their heels in.
“I hate you,” I sobbed when he teased my nipple with his sharp teeth. A wet suck followed.
“I want to take my time,” he gritted out. “I so rarely have you to myself, and since you claim you don’t need to sleep just yet, then I plan to extract as much pleasure as I can from your sweet body.”
His mouth licked and sucked my breasts as he pressed deeper inside me until he’d bottomed out.
“Goddess, you feel so good,” he groaned. “Hot and perfect.”
“Please move,” I begged again, desperate for release from the tension coiled so tight it felt like I might explode into a million pieces at any second.
Rock-hard abs rippled as he rocked into me, slowly and with intention. It seemed begging wasn’t enough to break Kai. He had a plan, and he was sticking to it.
Since he had my wrists pinned, there was nothing I could do other than use my inner muscles to squeeze his shaft. That provoked a volley of curses. Words I didn’t understand.
And then his control snapped like a rubber band stretched too tight, and he turned into a feral beast.
Kai rutted into me, each powerful thrust accompanied by a rabid growl. My screams filled the room as I fell apart under him, but he carried on fucking me as if the world was about to end.
“Is this what you wanted?” he snarled, baring his teeth at me. “Me feral for you, my witch?”
“Yes!” Goddess, I loved this side of him.
Sharp teeth sank into my neck, and I screamed all over again as a second orgasm burst through me. Kai shuddered as he followed me over the precipice, collapsing on top of me with a pained groan.
“I’m so sorry,” he gasped, his eyes wide in horror when he saw the wound. “I didn’t mean to bite you!”
He rolled off me, but because we remained locked together, he couldn’t escape.
“Don’t apologize,” I told him with a sleepy smile. He shuddered some more when I stroked his cheek. “I love it when you get all bestial.”
“You do?”
“Goddess, yes.” Now that I’d come twice, I was ready to sleep. If Kai wanted to talk about this, he could wait until morning.

The polar bear shifter, Thorrin, put a plate of eggs and toast in front of me. My stomach rebelled, but I forked up some eggs in the hope food would settle the nausea. I could have used my healing magic to soften the worst of the discomfort, but I didn’t want to risk it. For all I knew, it would trigger a hidden kill-switch in my head.
By the time I’d cleared my plate and finished a third cup of coffee, I felt much better.
“Thanks,” I said. “For this and last night.”
“You’re Mav’s pack mate, which makes you part of the family now.”
I grunted something noncommittal and focused on the view from the window. Blue patches of sky peeked through fluffy white clouds, so it had to be late morning.
“How come you’re here?” I asked when Thorrin sat down on the window seat. “I thought you were hiding on Sitkavus?”
He lifted one massive shoulder in a dismissive shrug. “We needed supplies, so I took the boat here. This place belongs to a friend. He’s in the fae realm on business right now.”
“Just you here?” I hoped so because I was not in the mood to deal with the idiot wolf shifter mate of his.
