I frowned. "That has never stopped you before."
"You're not my wife anymore," he cut me off, and this made me freeze. "At least on paper..."
On any other day I would have probably snapped. With his wife it was okay to have unprotected sex. But right now I just felt... kinda sad.
Because that was the thing — getting knocked up was nothing I ever needed to worry about. My parents had seen to that. Even if things between us had gone differently, I would have been the wrong wife for him, anyway…
I mustered a smile, pushing all complicated thoughts far into the background. "Don’t worry. I’m clean and on birth-control. You won't get any bastard children challenging you for your throne."
I wished I hadn't said that last bit, because Yuri winced.
"I would love them anyway," he muttered. "I’d love anything you’re ready to offer me, Kai."
I froze. Stared back at him. Wondering if he really just said that.
"I signed a paper," he went on. "But that's it. There's no way I could ever stop..." he hesitated, the pause making my heart clench in my chest, "...caring for you. And I never stopped wanting you.”
Another pause.
I reached out, brushed his jaw, his stubble scratchy underneath my fingers.
"I don't want you to hate me... when this is over."
"I won't," I whispered. "I promise."
I pulled him down where I lay, and that next kiss was different from all the other kisses we had shared so far.
Yeah, we were ending. This was just us stalling the inevitable. We had met, we had tied the knot, and everything had gone wrong — so, so wrong. There was no way this was ever going to end well.
But...
…this set us free. Losing everything set you free. And this kiss was the first one that came without any burden, without any broken promise. It held nothing but that hunger, that primal fire that had drawn us to one another in the first place.
And tonight, we would burn away.
Yuri
There’stwo things people tell you about Bear shifters.
First, we are well equipped.
And second, we won’t get tired. Our stamina has earned us a certain reputation.
However, these two pieces of information did not take into account what happened when you lived in abstinence for years.
Bear was unleashed.
And Bear carried his prey into his den.
I had thrown Kai over my shoulder like a rug, hauling her into my bedroom. I paid no attention to her protests that she could very well walk on her own and that I should stop being so dramatic. Instead, I gave her a smack on her bare ass along with a warning growl — and that was enough to silence her.
Bear grumbled, famished, as I clasped her legs and quickened my steps.
Too long. Too much time had passed. Abstinence had taken a lot out of Bear, something he was now going to reclaim. Chances were that we would not get out of my bedroom for a while.
I kicked the door shut behind us. Kai squealed as I threw her onto the bed like a prize I had won at the market.
I paused for a beat to enjoy the sight. No one got to see her like this. All sweaty and flushed and bare, eyes opaque and foggy with lust and a little bit of fear, a combination Bear liked way too much — hell, that I liked way too much.
