“Not a bad way to wake up,” Kai murmured once we’d parted, and a certain sheen to his eyes made my stomach flip. I couldn't believe whatever gods, spirits, or ancestors ran the world had granted me such a magnetically attractive mate in body and spirit.
Lust now bubbled up within, indifferent to my stresses and fears, and an illicit idea rose to prominence in my head. But the words were slow to reach my mouth, nerves getting the best of me.
“Uh-oh, you’re worrying again,” Kai joked, kissing the corner of my lips. “None of that now.”
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
I cleared my throat before affixing him with the sultriest look I could manage. “I’m not worried. Just debating on the best way to ask if I can blow you.”
Whew.That was the most openly horny thing I’d ever said. I knew plenty of people would consider me prudish given my level of experience, but I’d spent the past twenty-one years of my life effectively avoiding human contact, so didn’t really lend itself to any oral sex.
Meanwhile, Kai was looking like he wasn’t sure if he’d just hallucinated the whole thing, or actually gotten the best newsin months. I enjoyed watching his emotions play out across his face, shuttling back and forth between extremes.
“I apologize, I just want to make sure I heard correctly…” he started, and for some reason, he made me giggle like a schoolgirl. What was coming over me?
I reached up and ran a hand through his thick, sleep-tousled hair. “You heard me right. You’ve gone down on me plenty, now it’s my turn.”
I meant it to be sexy, but a cloudy expression came across his chiseled features. Had I ruined things?
The answer came when his large hands cupped my face, tilting it upward so he could kiss me oh so tenderly, and when he pulled away, his expression was quite serious. “Ayla, I go down on you because I sincerely enjoy it, and making you scream with pleasure while those thighs of yours clamp down on my ears is one of the most satisfying things in the world.” Ohfuck, the way he said it like that, just out in the open, made my entire body heat up. “You don’t have to reciprocate because you think you owe it to me or it’s your ‘turn’.”
He really was too good. I’d heard gossip about dates being too pushy, or partners wanting blow jobs but refusing to eat their partner out. I’d figured it was just a part of military dating and was grateful to be permanently excluded from it. But finding out my mate was the exact opposite was even better.
Fondly, oh so fondly, I looked up at him and kissed him right back, and when we parted, I felt like I was alight with desire. “Kai, I’m not offering to blow you because I feel obligated. I’m offering because Iwant your dick in my mouth.”
Was it blunt? Yes. Did it make my cheeks burn with embarrassment? Also, yes, but it was the truth. I’d daydreamed about being on my knees in front of him, protected by his bigger form as I coaxed the deepest growls and wanton moans from him. During our liaisons on our journey to get the relic, I neverfelt safe or confident enough to try anything like this, but now, in the safety of his own quarters before he left for the capital…well, what better time was there?
“I’d guess I’d be insane to turn that down.”
“Yes,” I said primly. “You would be.”
The grin he sent me was downright wicked, and it made me feel far more confident. I didn’t have any experience in the field, so to speak, but I was a quick study. Besides, I figured our bond would let me know right away what he liked and what he didn’t.
“How do you want me?” he murmured, and I was surprised I didn’t combust right then and there. I knewat oncewhat I wanted, too, yet the words died on my lips when embarrassment overwhelmed me and clashed with the pure, unfiltered desire coursing through my veins.
“Ayla,” he continued, his voice smooth honey as he leaned in so our foreheads touched. “What is it? Tell me what you want.”
“I…” How was it I told one of the most feared spellcasters in the world to his face his name was stupid, yet I was afraid to spell out a fantasy I’d had for quite a while? “I was thinking, uh, maybe…”
“Yes?” Holy fuck, the way Kai stared was making me melt into a sloppy puddle right there in his bed.
“Uh, your chair.”
“My chair?”
“Yeah, uh, your chair. In your office.” Yes, I was putting the cart before the horse, but it was a scene I’d had in my head for at least a year: me hiding under his desk, driving Kai wild while he tried to maintain composure. I didn’t really want anyone else there, but I still liked the idea. I’d finally been handed the keys to everything I’d locked away from myself, and I wanted to try itall.
A low rumble sounded from Kai’s broad chest. My inner wolfreallyliked it. Hell, I did, too.
“I like the way you think,” Kai said after what felt like an eternity. With that, he got out of bed and offered his hand. I took it and allowed him to lead me into the office adjoining his quarters.
I’d been stationed at Fort Canid so long but never been inside. I’d made a policy early on never to allow myself in such close quarters with the fated mate I was desperately hiding from. Maybe that was why a few of my nighttime musings specifically centered around his official office.
Goosebumps rippled when we reached Kai’s desk. It smelled strongly of him, and faintly of food, just like a den should. My heart thundered in my chest, yet the raw sensory experience made me feel safe, like it was okay to ask for something risky, and Kai would never judge me for it.
“Have I ever said you’re incredibly beautiful?” Kai asked as he sat down in his high-backed chair, pulling me forward so I’d sit in his lap.
“Once or twice.” I felt my stomach flip. The ardent way he said such kind things to me still felt so foreign. What few compliments I’d received in the years with witches were always laced and backhanded, and whether it was an implication of how much trouble I was or irritation with my mere presence, there was always a bite to everything.
