The furious scratching of Rudie’s pen on her tablet filled the space momentarily.“I’ll see it done, Alpha.”
He looked back at Morlie, who had not taken her gaze off him.“That will be all, Rudie.”
“Got it.”Rudie didn’t question his abrupt dismissal.She gathered her clipboard and made a beeline to the door.
Chanin heard the door quietly pull to, but he remained fixed on his mate.The erotic electricity crackled between them.Still holding her hand, he allowed it to build and grow, even though he wouldn’t allow either of them to act on the lust yet.
“Chanin...”Morlie whimpered, her voice edged with need as the intense perfume of her desire warred with the scent of their meal before them.
He linked his fingers with hers, his core tight and filling his body with heat.“Eat, little rabbit.I promise to ensure we are both well satisfied before our journey.”
Still keeping her gorgeous eyes on him, she didn’t waste time picking up a fork.Instead, Morlie grabbed one of the roasted rabbits and brought it to her mouth.She sank her teeth into the fleshy meat at the side, tore off a chunk, and began to chew.
Her urgent, ravenous actions had his cock stretching and throbbing in his jeans.Chanin reached for his own baked carcass and emulated her manners.
As he watched her consume the rabbit bite after bite, it took all his strength not to lean over and lick off the sheen of the animal’s juice and greasy residue glistening on her mouth, cheeks, and chin until he only tasted Morlie.
Still, he held himself back with a single promise to himself and her:Soon.
Chapter Seven
––––––––
Avalore sat still onthe bed and waited for Liekki to answer her questions—at least one of them.However, he had finished combing her hair and sat silently behind her.She could feel his powerful heat providing warmth along her back, wrapping around her like a blanket.There was an energy that pulsed between them, one she continued to ignore even as it made her breath catch and her feet curl against the stone floor.
The flooring should have been cold at every step, but it wasn’t.She figured it had much to do with the roaring fire in the hearth.
As Liekki dragged the comb over her scalp and down her hair, she sank her teeth into her bottom lip to keep from whimpering at the pleasure.She couldn’t stop the tingling sensations racing up and down her body, causing hair to rise on her skin, but she could keep her back ramrod straight and resist the need to settle back against his strength.
The big man remained silent.
She swallowed as nerves tightened her belly.I shouldn’t have asked.
Maybe he thought the questions were too intrusive or violated his people’s rules to tell her anything.
The longer he stayed silent, the more anxious she became.
