Instead, she let her head fall back against his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Ravik shifted between her thighs, pressing a soft kiss to the inside of one knee before he carefully withdrew his fingers from her body.Thesmall loss made her whimper, which was ridiculous because she had just had an orgasm strong enough to nearly knock her unconscious.
Ravik lifted his head, concern in his golden eyes.
“Cassie hurts?”
“No,” she said quickly.“No,I’mokay.Just…sensitive.”
Ravik’s gaze darkened with satisfaction.
“Cassie tastes sweet,” he rumbled.“Herneed is less now.”
“Thank you for the update from between my legs,” she muttered weakly.
Severin made a low sound that might have been amusement.
Cassie opened one eye and looked up at him.
“Don’t laugh.You’rethe one who said this was medically necessary.”
“It was,” he said, though his mouth was twitching.
“Mm-hmm.”
“I mean it.Yourwound reacted visibly to the pleasure response.I’llneed to confirm with bloodwork, butIsuspect your viral load may have dropped.”
“Ofcourseyou need bloodwork.”Shesighed.“Ihave a feeling that’s going to be the theme of my life for a while.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I know.”Sheopened both eyes now and looked at him.“Butyou were right.Ithelped.”
His expression softened.
“I’m glad.”
Ravik crawled up beside her, huge and warm and clearly reluctant to stop touching her.Buthe was careful.Hestretched out alongside her and laid one big hand on her hip—not between her legs, not on her breasts—just resting there, warm and protective.
“Cassie was in pain,” he murmured, almost to himself.“Ravikhelped.”
Something tender squeezed her heart.
“Yes,” she whispered.“Youhelped.”
He looked almost boyishly pleased by that, which was absurd considering he was a massiveBeastKindredwith her juices still on his lips.
Severin shifted behind her, andCassiefelt the hard ridge of his cock pressing against her lower back through his trousers.Ravikwas in the same state, judging by the rigid length pressing against her hip.Bothmales were aroused—painfully, probably.Butneither of them was asking for anything.Neitherof them was trying to turn her around or push for more which was a definite change from bothMitchandSskarth.
They had given her pleasure because she needed it—they had helped her expecting nothing in return.Forsome reason that madeCassiefeel worse than if they had demanded she return the favor.
“You two are both hard,” she said before she could stop herself.
Severin went very still andRavikmade a low sound.
“Yes,”Severinsaid carefully.
“And you’re not going to…do anything about it?Imean, you don’t want me to, er, help you out?”
