This is going to be fun.

He removed his fingers and stood between her spread-open legs. “Open those eyes right now, Kai, or you’re going to miss what I’m about to do.”

Her eyes flew open. “You promised—”

His laugh was dark. “Eager now, aren’t ya?” He pulled his soaked hand from inside her and brought it to his cock. He stroked her juices up and down, his eyes narrowing at the feel of his slickness. “So good. But I need more.” His hand slid through her wetness again, gathering as much of it as he could, then bringing his wet hand back to his shaft, which had darkened almost red. “Had the best of intentions, babe. Wanted you to come all over my face, but that new trick of yours? I can’t wait another minute to come. Gonna stroke myself off with your sweetness. You gonna watch me come?”

“Oh, God, yes!”

“You wanna know what I thought about all those nights I lay in this bed thinking of you and jerking off?”

Her breathing sped up again.

“Oh, yeah. My girl wants to hear. She wants to know that I’m picturing myself lying here, sleeping alone in my bed, naked except for the sheet.

“It’s just past dawn, and the sun’s starting to stream into my room. I wake up to your body sliding up mine until you’re hovering over my cock. You’re dressed in just one of your sexy long shirts, unbuttoned, bra, and no panties. Your boots with all those buckles are biting into my thighs as you straddle me. Then your warm, wet pussy slides down onto my cock.

“I come out of sleep all bleary to your hands with those short pink nails scoring my chest, using that grip to push yourself up and down, squeezing me tight. You’re so slick and hot, it’s like you have a fire burning inside you. And when you come, you throw your head back and let loose my name at the top of your lungs. All that sticky, sweet honey coats my cock and flows out onto my balls.

“That’s what puts me over the edge, Kai,” he groaned in both pain and pleasure. “I love that you can do that. That your honey just pours out of you. That I can make that happen.” His breathing sped up, his voice becoming choppy as he neared orgasm. His eyes bored into hers. “Can’t believe you’re here in my bed. Never thought I’d get so lucky to claim you as mine.” He gave a quick grunt. “I’m going to come on you, Kai. Do you want that?” His hand motions sped up as he gazed into her face. He could feel his release working its way from root to tip. “Here it comes, baby. Gonna paint you so pretty.”

With the first rope of release that hit her skin, Kai’s moan mingled with his. He watched her hand instinctively reach to her clit, and the heel pressed down while three of her fingers slid inside her already-soaked channel. He watched as her juices poured out of her again, as his hit her skin, particularly two of the trailing legs of her Kraken tattoo. The final jerks of his cock caused him to collapse onto his other arm, straight-locked at her hip, to keep him from falling down on her and crushing her.

When he finally managed to calm his breathing, he opened his eyes to the sight of one of Kai’s wet fingers drawing patterns in his release on her belly, then slowly rising out of sight. His gaze snapped up to catch her sliding her soaked finger into her mouth.

She hummed with appreciation and closed her eyes in ecstasy. “Now I see why so many women love the combination of salt and sweet.”

He growled, and his eyes narrowed in a predatory gaze. “You get three minutes.”

Her eyes snapped open. “For what?”

His fingers, wet from his own release, painted her upper lip. “I’m going to go grab a warm washcloth, clean myself up, clean myself off of you, and then I’m going to do what I told you I was going to do before you distracted me.” He shook his head in slow disbelief. “I just made you come four times, and I’ve barely touched you. You’ve exploded every time. I’ve never seen a woman go like that before. Good goddamn, woman, what’s going to happen when I get my mouth on you or my dick inside you again?”

She gave him her own predatory smile, glancing down at his still-hard cock. “Make it two minutes, and after you get your dessert, I’ll have mine.”

He was back in one.

MAY 31ST

Kai

She woke today the way she’d woken up every day for the last nine days. Waters moving over her, sliding between her legs and inside her body. Today was different, though. He didn’t talk to her. He didn’t watch her as he made love to her. This time, he had her gathered as close as he could get her, his face buried in her neck. She sensed something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to distract him. She was afraid to ask.

Usually, he was all about multiple go-arounds, ramping her up, pulling her over the edge, then winding her back up over and over again until she passed out from exhaustion. But today, he was all about the slow and sweet. When he made her come, he was right behind her on the first wave. And he stopped. He turned onto his side, pulling her with him and grabbing her leg, keeping it over his hip, just laying with her, his head still buried in her neck. He didn’t even stroke her skin as he usually did. Instead, he held her tightly to him. Afraid to speak, she simply lay in his arms. He’d tell her what was wrong when he was ready and not before.

He sighed, and then she understood.

It’s over. We’re back to the real world.

It wasn’t like she believed they were going to live out the rest of their lives like they had the last ten days. In fact, she should have known yesterday that this was coming. They were rarely apart longer than a few minutes at a time, but he had to take a phone call away from her, which he did upstairs behind the secured confines of the steel and bulletproof glass, and he’d been quiet when he came downstairs almost an hour later.

“I love you, Kai.” She smiled at his admission, even though she felt sad. The inflection of his voice was honest but painful. As if he was going to follow with something she wouldn’t want to hear.

“I love you, too, Taj.” She turned her head and kissed his hair. “When do we leave?”

He raised his head to look into her eyes. “We need to be on the road in half an hour.”
