  She shut the door behind her and then took a step toward him.

  “Ky, please…”

  “Dani, I…I can’t believe you’re here, little girl.” He ran a hand through his still-damp hair, causing the muscular plane of his chest and abdomen to bunch and flex in a mouthwatering way.

  Dani felt her belly and the area between her legs clench in response—Gods above and below, how she needed him!

  “I’m here because I want you, Ky,” she said, keeping her chin up. “And…and because I hope you want me too.”

  “Of course I want you.” His deep voice was hoarse with need as his eyes raked over her body. “But I can’t have you, Dani—I can’t be trusted anymore. Not after what I did.”

  “What you did was save me and Lavi from awful, abusive marriages,” Dani said firmly. “There’s nothing wrong with that.”

  “I used my Touch sense to kill,” he said darkly. “Once a Touch Kindred uses his Goddess given abilities for evil, he can never be trusted again.”

  “Who says you can’t be trusted?” Dani demanded, coming even closer so that they were almost chest to chest—or really, more like breasts to abdomen, since he was so much taller than her. She looked up at him fearlessly. “You might not trust yourself but I trust you, Ky—and I’m here to prove that.”

  “We can’t do this…I can’t let you.” He stepped away from her but Dani could see the tent rising under the towel wrapped around his slim, muscular hips. He wanted her as much as she wanted him—somehow she just had to convince him of that.

  “Please, Ky,” she whispered, not wanting to beg but not quite able to help herself. “I…I took some bonding fruit before I came here. And now, well…I need some help.”

  “Gods, Dani—you didn’t.” He sank down onto the arm of the couch which sat in the center of the living area. “You shouldn’t have done that—do you know what bonding fruit does to you?”

  “I thought it was only supposed to make me stretch more,” Dani murmured, biting her lip. “So you could, you know, fit yourself inside me. But now I feel…Gods above, Ky, I feel so hot all over. And I ache here…” She touched her tight nipples through the thin, see-through gown. “And here.” Spreading her legs, she let him get a better look at her pussy.

  She couldn’t help thinking how wonderful it had felt the last time she had done this for him, when she’d opened herself so that he could taste her. Gods above, she wished he would do that again!

  “Goddess, little girl,” he groaned. “I want to help you, I just don’t want to hurt you—do you understand?”

  “I understand you don’t trust yourself, Ky,” she murmured. “But I trust you. Please, can’t you help me? This bonding fruit is really giving me a problem!” She thrust her breasts forward appealingly so that her nipples pressed hard against the thin lavender fabric.

  Ky groaned again at the erotic sight.

  “All right, little girl—I’ll help you. If you’ve been eating bonding fruit you’re going to need to come at least once to help you get over it.”

  Dani felt a rush of relief. Thank all the Gods, he was going to help her! She wasn’t kidding when she’d told him she was in need—the bonding fruit smoothie she’d drunk was really working on her—making her feel like she would die if she couldn’t feel his hands on her soon.

  But it wasn’t his hands she needed to feel—not yet, anyway.

  “Help me,” she told Ky, coming to stand in front of him. “Touch me, Ky.”

  He reached for her but she pushed his big hands away.

  “No, Touch me,” she told him. “Like you did the first time you made me feel pleasure, when you were chained in your cell. I want to feel your whisper fingers caressing me and your whisper mouth tasting me. Please, Ky.”

  He shook his head, frowning.

  “Aren’t you afraid to ask me to use my Touch sense on you?” he demanded. “It’s a weapon now, Danny. I’ve killed with it—killed with my mind.”

  “You’d never hurt me,” Dani whispered, knowing it was true. “I trust you, Ky—please, I just need you to trust yourself.”

  Still he hesitated. “I shouldn’t…”

  “Do you want to taste me again?” Dani asked, remembering how he’d thanked her for allowing him to lick her pussy. Liv and Sophie had confided to her that this was something that Kindred males not only loved but needed to do. “Do…do you want to put your tongue inside me?”

  “Gods, you know I do.” Ky’s big hands were clenched into fists on his thighs. It seemed like he was holding himself back by sheer force of will but Dani didn’t want him to hold back—she wanted him to learn to trust himself again.

  “I-I’ll let you,” she said, only stumbling over the words a little. “If…if you’ll use your whisper fingers and mouth on me first. Just a little Ky—please. Just…just kiss my nipple. Here.”

  She pointed to her right nipple and couldn’t help remembering how hot it had been that night in his cell, leaning over him and pretending she didn’t know her nipple was slipping into his mouth as she tended his back…

  “Gods, little girl, I shouldn’t but…” Ky shook his head. “But I just can’t resist. I’m going to be careful though—very Goddess-damned careful. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “You never have before,” Dani pointed out. “Come on Ky, kiss me.”

  His eyes were suddenly half lidded and she felt a rushing whisper in the air around him. Then a hot, wet mouth was sliding carefully around her tender bud, licking lightly at first and then sucking harder as Dani moaned and arched her back.

  “Gods above, yes, Ky! Please, do the other one,” she moaned. Gods, how she needed him! The effects of the bonding fruit seemed to be getting stronger all the time.

  The hot, wet mouth switched to her left nipple and then she felt his whisper fingers plucking at her right. The double stimulation sent sparks of pleasure straight down to the slippery place between her thighs and almost caused her knees to buckle.

  “See?” she gasped as the big Kindred continued to use his Touch sense on her, stroking and caressing her body without moving from his place on the couch. “See, you’re not hurting me, Ky—you’re making me feel good. Ah, Gods—so good.”

  “If you want to feel even better, spread your thighs for me.” His deep voice had lost its hesitancy and there was a hot light in his eyes that made Dani tremble with need.

  “Yes…all right,” she whispered and opened her thighs.

  “Spread your pussy for me, too,” Ky ordered, his eyes blazing. “If you want me to Touch you there, I need you to be open for me.”

  She loved it when his voice took on that tone of command! All her life she’d wished to live as an equal to men but she found she liked submitting in the bedroom—liked doing what Kyron ordered and obeying him.

  Slowly, with trembling fingers, she reached beneath her gown and parted her swollen pussy lips with her fingers. Gods above, the bonding fruit had made her juices so abundant she was overflowing! Looking down, she saw that her inner thighs were shiny with her honey and felt a stab of embarrassment.

  But when she started to shut her legs, Ky shook his head.

  “No, little girl—if you want me to Touch you, you have to let me see you. You’re so beautiful with your little pussy so hot and swollen, making all that sweet honey. Can’t wait to lap it all up with my tongue.”

  “With your real tongue…or your whisper tongue?” Dani whispered.

  “Both.” And then the hot, wet mouth moved from her tight nipple down to the wet, swollen place between her thighs. Dani gasped as she felt him lapping her there and wondered if he could taste her just as he could with his real tongue.

  “So salty-sweet, little girl,” he growled, answering her unspoken question. “Does that feel good? You like to have my whisper mouth between your legs, licking your soft little pussy?”

  “Oh yes, Ky,” she heard herself moaning. “But please, I want more—so much more. The bonding fruit…I feel so empty inside. I need�
