“I will.”

“Okay, then, well.”She glanced from me to Vorzak, whose snakes werestillwrapped around me, smirked a little, then burst into shadows and disappeared beneath her bed, Jahrdran and Shadow quickly following.

“Uh, are they sleeping under there?”Vorzak asked incredulously.

I giggled.“Not really.I mean, yes, but no.For Kasi, the shadows under the bed lead to a pocket in the Shadow Realm, so that’s where they go each night.It’s kind of nice actually.We each have our own room.”

It wasn’t nice at all.Maybe it would be if I had a mate or even a cat companion, but since I didn’t have either, it was just lonely.

“I hope you don’t mind that I said I was staying,” Vorzak rumbled, reminding me that for tonight, at least, I wouldn’t be alone.

His snakes paused in their petting, almost as if they too were waiting for my answer.

“I don’t mind,” I said softly.I drew in a deep breath for courage, then turned and looking up into his eyes, added, “I’mhappyyou’re here.”

His snakes tightened and yanked me forward into his chest.

Vorzak settled his hands on my hips.“I’m happy too, sweet Jasmine.”

Then he kissed me.

CHAPTER8

The blazingheat of his kiss incinerated every other thought I had.

My heart pounded as I kissed him back.

His snakes were everywhere, twining around my waist, wrapping around my thighs, coiling around my breasts, burying their fangs in me over and over again, sending heat surging through me.“Wh-what are they doing?”

They’d nipped me before, but it hadneverfelt like this.

Like molten lava was flowing through my veins.

“Loving you,” Vorzak growled as he swept me up and tossed me onto the bed.He peeled his shirt off, making my breath catch as he revealed so much gorgeous skin covered in stunning tattoos.

Before I could admire them fully, he came down on top of me, pressing me into the mattress in the most delicious of ways.

His snakes immediately began exploring again, one diving beneath my blouse to coil around my breasts, while two more twined around my thighs, pulling them further apart, so that Vorzak could settle there deeper, pressing himself where I desperately needed him to be.

I clutched his shoulders as he dipped his head and kissed me voraciously.

His snakes began biting me again, heat bursting through me with every nip.

I hissed at the repeated stings, then groaned as they morphed into a delicious pleasure.

“Vorzak,” I moaned, writhing beneath him, clutching his shoulders, desperate for something, anything, justmore.

My clothes, the only things keeping me from being skin-to-skin with Vorzak, disintegrated all at once, and then his chest was pressed to mine, his rougher skin causing my nipples to bead and me to cry out.

Then, an instant later, his pants disintegrated as well and suddenly, he wasright there.

“Vorzak!”I gasped.

He groaned as he lifted away from me, settling back on his haunches.

He was so big,the rigid length of his cock still pressed against the core of me, making me ache.

“Fuck, Hissies.”
