Nari laughed. “If you think so, Polly.”
Minoru hefted Polly up until she was kneeling on him and facing him. He smiled. “Oh, dear one, I forgot to charge the pendant.”
She looked down, and the pendant was outside her robe. “Forgot?”
“I was distracted by the delightful sounds you have started making.” His clawed fingertip tapped her lips.
She frowned. “I was?”
“Yes. I look forward to hearing the entire symphony.” He leaned in and licked at her lips before he went in for a kiss that warmed her from the inside out.
Her toes curled in her slippers, and she held onto the front of his shirt. He switched between the ogre and his normal form, and she kept her eyes closed and determined the form by the size of the teeth. Well, also, his ogre's mouth enveloped hers completely.
When she was swaying, he lifted his head, and she slowly opened her eyes. His eyes glowed like illuminated rubies. She blushed at the heat in his eyes and swallowed. “I think you are going to have a rough time until the wedding.”
He smiled slowly. “But by the wedding night, I will be familiar with you and you with me. We will be able to enjoy ourselves without pausing for mortification.”
“Mortification?”
“Embarrassment, virginal hesitation, alpha-avoidance. Whatever you want to call it.”
“Knot nervousness.”
He laughed. “That you will have to deal with, but I will help you through it. How did I luck into such a beautiful mate?”
“Fate put claw marks into my back so you wouldn’t miss me.”
“I must thank fate or, at least, help out when I can.”
Her stomach growled. She blushed. “Sorry.”
“I have delayed dinner too long. I will be more careful in the future.”
He helped her to her feet and took her hand as he walked back through the house, following the scent of dinner.
Nari smiled and set the meal on the table. “He never was one to arrive on time.”
“I will remember that.”
He helped her to kneel next to the table. “Remember what?”
She flicked him a teasing glance. “That you don’t come on time.”
He thudded to his knees, and a low growl rumbled out of him as he stared at her.
Nari laughed, and dinner was served.
“Are you sure that this is okay?” She approached his bed with a sleeping robe on.
He nodded. “It will be fine, but both parts of me need you in my arms for a night.”
He was wearing a matching sleeping robe and had the spot next to him ready with the bedding turned down. Polly settled and lay on her side, looking at Minoru.
“Um, good night.”
He leaned in and kissed her quickly. “Turn around.”
“What?”
