  “I like waking up like this with you,” she sent through the link that all Kindred shared with their brides.

  “You mean like this?” Large, warm hands roamed over her body as he explored her with the gentleness he hadn’t been able to use the night before.

  “E-exactly like that,” Tess whispered, her breath coming short with pleasure as he cupped her breasts and thumbed her nipples lightly. She turned over and kissed him, giving him even greater access to her breasts.

  “I want to taste you again,” he growled softly when the kiss finally broke.

  Tess drew back, biting her lip. “After last night? I don’t know. I’m kind of…messy right now.”

  “You think I give a damn about that? I like you messy.” There was an animalistic glint in his eye that made her think maybe his dr’gin was still in there somewhere, watching.

  “But Garron, I’m really—” she started to protest.

  “Perfect,” he interrupted. “Come, lin’del. I’m the one who made you ‘messy’ in the first place, did you think of that? So I’m the one who should clean you up.” He stroked her cheek. “Can’t wait to taste your sweet pussy all over again.”

  Tess’s heart was racing and she could feel her entire body getting hot all over.

  “All right,” she whispered, still a bit reluctant. “But I can’t do the hands and knees thing again. Not when my palms are still tender.” They’d had their first bonding sex in a stone cave and while Garron had healed her wounds, she was still a little sensitive.

  “Do you need me to heal you again?” Before she could answer, Garron took her hand in his and brought it to his mouth. Turning her hand over so it was palm up, he lapped gently at the tender spot on the heel of her hand.

  “No, really,” she said breathlessly. “I’m well now—you don’t have to—”

  “Maybe I want to.” He kissed the inside of her wrist and then ran his tongue over her forearm and the tender inside of her elbow. Before Tess could protest further, he was taking one of her nipples between his lips and sucking it deep into his mouth.

  “Ohhhh,” she whispered, thrusting her chest up to him. “God, that feels so good.”

  “Love to make you feel good, lin’del. Love to taste you.”

  He switched to her other nipple, sucking it deep into the hot, wet cavern of his mouth and then biting it gently to send sparks of pain and pleasure through her entire body. Tess moaned and pressed up to meet him but before she knew it, he was placing a final, hot kiss between her bare breasts and moving further down.

  Tess’s heart pounded as he gently parted her thighs and bent to kiss between her legs. But then, to her surprise, instead of urging her down on her back, he lay down himself instead.

  “Um, what are you doing?” she asked uncertainly as he positioned himself so that his head was near the headboard.

  “Getting ready to taste you. Come here, lin’del.” He gestured for her and she looked at him, not understanding.

  “Come here and do what exactly?”

  “Come here and ride my face.” His voice came out as a low, lustful growl when he beckoned her again.

  “Oh, I couldn’t!” Tess objected, though her pulse quickened at the idea of a new, naughty position. “It’s not like I’m some skinny-minny gymnast. I’ll crush you!”

  Garron laughed, a low, soft chuckle that echoed through the bedroom and made her tingle all over.

  “Tess, you’ve seen what I can become and what I am capable of. Trust me, you’re not going to ‘crush’ me with your lovely curves. Now come here—come and let me taste your sweet honey right from the source.”

  Tess might have been tempted to doubt his sincerity, but she could feel the need and love and desire pulsing through their new link. Garron really wanted this—wanted to taste her this way. And if she needed any more evidence, his long, thick shaft was already standing at attention between his thighs.

  This act—opening herself to be tasted—had been hard for her in the past, mainly because of the sadistic treatment her ex had dished out. But Garron was sweet and patient and he had coaxed her to open to him and allow him to lick and suck and taste her pussy. It was something that had been forbidden on his home world of Pax which seemed to make him desire it even more. And, though she would have thought it was impossible before she met him, Tess was beginning to desire it too.

  “All right,” she whispered at last. “I guess it can’t hurt to try something new.”

  Feeling nervous and hot all at once, she straddled his head and lowered herself down onto his tongue.

  Garron growled in approval and the warm, wet sensation of his tongue bathing her outer pussy lips gently made Tess moan with pleasure. God, he was so good at this. It was amazing how he seemed to find just the right spots to lick and suck and taste every time.

  He sucked her clit into his mouth, making magical circles around it with his tongue tip until she thought she might scream with the intense sensation. Leaning forward, she supported herself with the palms of her hands against the headboard as Garron continued to bathe her pussy with his tongue.

  “Come further down,” he whispered through their link and his fingers tightened on her thighs. “Come all the way down, lin’del—let me put my tongue deep inside your sweet cleft.”

  By this time, Tess was helpless to deny him anything. With a soft moan, she lowered herself all the way down and his hot tongue found its way deep inside her. She told herself to be careful but somehow she couldn’t help her body’s reaction to the intimate invasion. One hand fisted in his thick black hair and the other braced against the headboard, she rolled her hips, moaning helplessly while she ground against his face.

  “That’s right, lin’del—ride my face.” Even his mental voice sounded hoarse. “Gods, I can taste you—I can taste both of us and it’s so fucking good!”

  “Garron,” she sent back. “I’m close—really close. But I don’t want…don’t want to come with your tongue inside me. I want more.”

  “Shift back, then.” His mental voice was low and urgent with need. “My shaft is more than ready. Shift back and let me fill you another way.”

  Eagerly, Tess did as he said. Shifting back, she scooted down his long, muscular body until she was straddling his narrow hips. His cock was, as he had said, more than ready to go. And so was Tess—she couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so needy, so ready to be filled. But it occurred to her as she took him in hand, that this was the first time she’d ever been on top—with any man. For some reason, the thought froze her in her tracks.

  “Tess?” Garron looked up at her, his mouth shiny with her juices and his eyes blazing in the dim hotel room. “Is something wrong?”

  “No, no. I’ve just…never done it like this before. I mean, I’ve never been the one on top. Are you, uh, sure you’re all right with it?”

  “More that all right,” he assured her, stroking her thighs. “I want you on top of me. I want you to ride me, Tess. Use me for your pleasure as I used you last night.”

  “You want me to use you?” She raised an eyebrow, still not quite believing it. Pierce, her ex, had never wanted her to get a speck of pleasure from anything sexual that they did. And he never, ever would have let her be the one on top, controlling the action. But Garron seemed to get turned on by the idea. Incredibly turned on if the throbbing shaft she was holding in her hand was any indication.

  “Gods, yes, I want you to use me,” he growled softly through their link. “Pleasure yourself with me. Fuck yourself on my cock until you come with me buried deep inside you. That’s what I want, lin’del—what I crave.”

  “I want it too,” Tess admitted.

  “Then do it. Take me as I took you last night. Even the score.”

  “It’s not about keeping score,” she objected. “It’s about loving each other—enjoying each other’s bodies.”

  “Exactly. And I want you to enjoy mine to the fullest. Gods, lin’del, please…you’re killing me with that soft lit
