“I love you too, Kai.”

And be loved in return.

My soulmate cups my scarred cheek and brings his mouth to mine in a lazy kiss. I sigh, smiling into his lips that taste like me and his brand of masculine, and loop loose arms around his neck.

“I’m going to make love to you tonight, little prince,” he says between kisses.

“I dunno,” I reply, dropping my head back on the window. “You might’ve sucked the life outta me.”

He gently smacks my ass, and I yelp, my prick, though spent, twitching.

“I think we can find some life in you yet.”

Chapter thirty-seven

Vidar

Kai fills my senses.

His salt on my tongue, so close to the flavour of his blood, that my fangs ache, and the fresh citrus scent of his arousal makes a home in my lungs. I stroke up and down between his shoulder blades after the high of his orgasm. In a way, redoing the comfort I should’ve given him in Lucero’s office.

“How was your first experience giving a blowjob?” Kai asks, soft lips moving against my shoulder.

“I enjoyed it very much.” I nip his earlobe, nuzzling into him. “Too much.”

“I guess I’ll let you keep practising on me then.”

“How kind.”

“And…any panic?” Kai asks, tracing the bear tattoo at the centre of my chest.

“No panic,” I reply, brushing a kiss to his temple. “Just us.”

“But you’ll let me know if you need to stop or—”

“Kai.” I tilt his head back until I’m pierced with jade green, and not a single doubt finds me.

Freedom, that’s what Kai gives me.

“I promise, I’m well. Now stop worrying.” Kai scrunches his forehead, and laughter jumps from my throat, more carefree than I’ve been in centuries. Or ever. “I crave to make you fall apart again.” I playfully snap my teeth, and the crease between his brows smooths, rewarding me with a smile too stunning for the bastard that I am. Yet I’ll be damned if anyone else tries to bask in his glow.

I seize what’s mine with a quick kiss.

“Pretty sure if you make me feel any better, I’ll turn into a blob, Vidar,” he mutters, forehead against mine.

“Sounds like a challenge.” With ease, I stand with Kai wrapped in my arms, getting a delightful handful of his backside.

“Shit, you’re strong,” he blurts, clinging to me. Then, tease that he is, Kai rolls his hips, smirking. “Hard, too.”

“How could I not be?” I take us towards the bed. “When you look the way you do.”

My knees hit the frame, and I bend to lay him across the mattress.

“And how do I look?”

Kai’s ash blond braids fall in a halo around his devilish little grin.

“Naked. Perfect.” Kneeling on the mattress, my thighs on either side of his flushed body so he’s caged, I run my palms up the soft, lean shape of his chest. Thumbs running over his hard nipples. “All. Mine.”
