of stun, not the continuous stream you paralyzed me with, you bastard."
"You're welcome. So what you're telling me is that there'll be no forced stripping?" Could she hear the pout in his voice?
"She kissed the base of his neck. "Not from me, but I bet I can make you do it. I'm still pretty much all-powerful."
He grinned, his first in days. "Is that a reminder that you saved my ass in the underground?"
"Maybe." Her warm breath tickled him. It was a sensation he'd been dreaming of for a week. "Mmm, you smell good. You always smell good."
"God, I missed you."
"I missed you, too."
He rolled, pinning her beneath him. He meant to yell at her a bit, but had to kiss those lush lips first. The moment he did, he had to taste that sweet flavor. On and on the kiss continued, hot and needy and a promise of love he freely gave.
Finally, he forced himself to pull back. "If you ever again try to leave me ..." He let his anger and hurt shine through.
Shaking as violently as he was, she reached up and caressed his jaw. "Hate to break it to you, but you're stuck with me. I'm now stronger than you are. And just so you know, you won't even be able to force me out with a crane."
He barked out a laugh. "As if I would try. I'm a man who deserves the best, and I've finally found her."
Her gaze fell to his neck, and she licked her lips. "Now, what about this hunger of mine ..."
He didn't hesitate. He guided her to his vein. Immediately her teeth sank inside, and she moaned. He groaned in bliss. "Oh, have I missed this."
She sucked, and he rubbed himself against her, unable to stop himself. He'd imagined having her back in his bed so many times, it was like a dream come true to actually have her there.
"For me, too," she said after she finished drinking.
"What is?"
"It's like a dream come true." He blinked. "I didn't say that aloud."
"Oh." She shifted uncomfortably as she nibbled on her lower, bloodstained lip. "Secret's out, I guess. I kept the mind-reading thing. Kyrin tried to bury it, but I nearly scratched his mental eyes out."
"I'm glad," Devyn said, laughing.
She peered up at him, unsure. "Really?"
He nodded. "That way, you'll know what position I want you in without having to be told." As he spoke, he planted little kisses along her face.
"Pervert."
"Fine, fine. You'll also know how much I love you even when I'm flirting outrageously with someone else."
"Slut." Grinning, she tangled her hands in his hair. "I love you so much."
"And I love you. Now and always." He licked at her lips. "We are going to have some amazing children. The best this world has ever seen."
Her entire body stilled as she stared up at him. "Children? You want to have kids with me?”
“Oh, yes. You and no other. You're the only one worthy of my seed," he teased.
"Oh, my dear, sweet Bradley. I'm going to make you very happy you said that," she said, rolling him over and straddling his waist.
She was true to her word.
