“Tastes good,” he rumbled against her.“Cassietastessofucking good.”
The vibration of his deep voice against her pussy made her moan and arch, which pushed her breast more firmly intoSeverin’shand.
TheBloodKindredmade a rough sound in his throat and pinched her nipple lightly—not hard, just enough to send a sharp little spark of pleasure through her.
“That’s it,” he murmured.“Don’tfight it, sweetheart.Justspread your sweet pussy and let him taste you.”
“I’m not…not fighting,”Cassieprotested weakly, though she knew it was a lie.
Shewasfighting—fighting the need, fighting the embarrassment, fighting the old belief that this couldn’t possibly be for her.Thatmen didn’t really want to do this.Thatif they did, they would get bored or impatient or make her feel ashamed.
ButRavikdidn’t seem bored—he seemed enthralled.Alow growl of pleasure rumbled in his throat and his big hands slid under her thighs and lifted them slightly, opening her more fully to his mouth.
Cassie stiffened for half a second, then realized he wasn’t forcing her—he was supporting her.ThebigBeastKindredwas holding her open in a way that made her feel exposed, yes, but she also felt deeply desired.Itwas like he wantedallof her and wasn’t going to let her hide from him in any way.
“Ravik,” she moaned as his tongue found her clit and began to circle it.
“Mmm, sweetheart—what’s he doing now?”Severinmurmured in her ear.“Ishe licking your hot little clit?”
“Y-yes,”Cassiepanted.“That’sexactly what…what he’s doing.Oh!”
“Good,”Severintugged her nipples, sending sparks of pleasure through her body.“There.That’swhat you need.Lethim stay right there.”
“You’re very…very bossy for a scientist,” she panted.
His mouth brushed her temple, almost a kiss.
“Only whenI’mright.”
She would have laughed ifRavikhadn’t chosen that moment to suck her clit gently into his mouth and tease it with his tongue.
The laugh turned into a moan as pleasure shot through her so sharply that her whole body tensed.Herfingers clenched inRavik’shair and she heard him growl.
She pulled her hand away quickly, worried that she’d hurt him but he looked up, his golden eyes lazy with lust.
“Why didCassiestop?”he rumbled.
“I thought…thoughtIpulled too hard,” she said.
Ravik shook his head.
“Too hard is good,” he growled.“Loveto feel that my mate is enjoying herself.”
“He likes it when you pull his hair,”Severinmurmured.“Ravikdoesn’t mind a little pain with his pleasure.NeitherdoI, for that matter.”
Before he had finished speaking, the bigBeastKindredhad ducked his head again and was back to business, sucking and licking her clit.
Cassie moaned and wove her fingers through his thick black hair again.God, so helikedhaving her pull his hair and grind against his mouth.Theknowledge sent another rush of heat through her, and for a moment she forgot to be embarrassed and just let herselffeel.
Severin’s hands moved over her breasts, slow and teasing.Hecupped them, lifted them, brushed his thumbs over her nipples until they were so tight and sensitive she could hardly stand it.Everytouch seemed to connect directly toRavik’smouth between her thighs, making the pleasure build higher and hotter.
And then the bite wound on her arm pulsed.
Cassie gasped and opened her eyes.
The reddish-gold glow was back—brighter now—flickering under her skin like a tiny trapped flame.Forone terrifying second, panic cut through the pleasure.
“Severin,” she gasped.“Myarm!”
