He was silent for a moment, and one of his hands started moving slowly over the backs of my thighs. We were both still bare, and his touch warmed me in a way the frenzy usually did.
“I had nothing to live for before you were brought here,” he finally said. “I struggled with immis alongside the rest of my pack. Though I buried myself in keeping them alive, and kept myself sane that way as well, there was little hope. I never truly thought I would hold a female in my arms, smell the scent on her skin, or taste her pleasure on my tongue. I certainly never let myself hope I would feel her body wrapped around mine as she climaxed. Tonight was a gift, because I never expected to experience it. Even if you choose another male, I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life.”
My throat constricted. “You can’t talk about me choosing another guy while we’re cuddling naked, Vay. I’m clearly yours right now.”
“Now is not enough for me,” he said bluntly.
It wasn’t enough for me either.
I already wanted more with him—I wanted him to touch me again, to taste me again, tofillme again.
The frenzy was gone, but my desire for him hadn’t faded at all. I was exhausted, but I still wanted more.
“Will the frenzy come back?” I asked him, opening my eyes again after a few moments had passed.
“It will return in a few hours, at most. It won’t disappear entirely until you bite me.”
Damn.
“You should’ve let me bite you, then. I feel calmer now than I have since Serae dragged me through that portal.”
He chuckled softly. “Not while I know you could regret it.”
My lips curved upward. “I’m not much for regretting. My grandma always made me look for the positives in every situation, and now my brain seems to do that whether I want it to or not.”
“The positives?”
“The good things. Like… we’re still stuck in the frenzy, but at least we have a few hours without it. I’ve been torn away from the world I know, but I ended up in the arms of a gorgeous werewolf who’s ridiculously good at sex, which is a positive.”
He laughed. “My female isn’t ready to choose me, but she’s bare in my arms, coated in my scent.”
“Don’t forget the fruit that was all over me. I was basically a dessert for you,” I pointed out.
His responding wide grin made me feel happier than I ever would’ve expected. “That’s certainly a positive.”
“Exactly. I don’t think I would regret it if I bit you. It would be a big change, but all of this has been a big change.”
“I still won’t allow it until you’re certain.”
“We’ll have to agree to disagree, then,” I said, my lips stretching wide in a yawn.
“We will.” His lips brushed my shoulder. “Go to sleep, Ez. I want you well-rested for the run back in the morning.”
He still wanted to take care of me, and I needed to let him when it made sense. So, I nodded and closed my eyes.
Despite the warmth in my body, I was relaxed enough that I fell asleep quickly.
I wokeup alone in bed, but when I sat up, I found Ivaylo working on the wall.
“Couldn’t sleep?” I mumbled to him, brushing a few loose strands of hair from my eyes.
“My fur started to itch partway through the night, so I figured I may as well get to work.” He looked over his shoulder at me for a long moment, his gaze slowly moving over my bare form. “Veil, you’re gorgeous.”
My lips curved upward. “Thanks.”
“I’ll be done soon, then we’ll head back to our den. There are more berries, if you’re hungry now.”
My eyes moved to the table, which looked like it had been cleaned. “How long have you been awake?”
