“I’m not sure that fits the description of taking it easy.”

He whined against my neck, still burying his nose in my hair. “I’ll be gentle. I promise. I just…fucking hell, Kit, I need to feel you. I need to taste you, prove to myself you’re here.”

A moan slipped free as Kaiden didn’t let up, and regardless of how “easy” this was going to be, I wasn’t about to resist a moment longer. I knew how Kaiden felt, and I needed him just as much.

“Careful around the chest, okay?”

Kaiden pulled back enough to meet my eyes. “Is that a yes?”

I smirked, rolling my eyes. “Yes.”

Lifting my chin, Kaiden planted a kiss on my lips as he pulled me closer to him. In a flash of movement, Kaiden stripped off his shirt, leaving only his pants, and I clenched my thighs despite myself.

“Kit,” Kaiden swiped a thumb across my bottom lip, “I’ve been waiting days to feel you again.”

My breaths shuddered as Kaiden’s hand traveled down my neck to my shoulder and then to the thin strap of my nightgown.

“Oh, God, Kaiden. I know. It’s been too long.”

I flicked my stare up to him, heat building in my cheeks as arousal burned in my blood. “I need you, Kaiden. I need you to claim me…properly.”

His lips crashed into mine as his fingers tangled in my hair. Kaiden slid the strap of my nightgown down, exposing my breast. A moan bled from me as the cool air drifted over my heated skin. Everything burned to feel Kaiden deep inside me again.

“I will never get tired of how damn good you look in my hands.” Kaiden gripped my breast, squeezing down on my hardened nipple. “Or those wonderful sounds you make.”

My head fell back in another moan as Kaiden wrapped his arm around my back and used his free hand to pull up the bottom of my nightgown. A hungry growl slipped from him, and Kaiden’s mouth found my taut nipple, his tongue swirling around the tip.

He pushed my nightgown the rest of the way off my shoulder and then the other one. The fabric pooled around my hips. He’d been very careful around the bandage, and I appreciated how gentle he was.

Groping one breast as he sucked the nipple of the other, Kaiden dragged his kisses down my body—even the bandage—as he laid me back on the bed. His rough fingers pulled the nightgown off my hips, and every inch of me was bared to him.

Familiar self-consciousness flared, and I chewed on my lip as I tried not to think of my curves as too full or too much.

“Goddamn, Kit. I could stare at you like this all damn day.”

Kaiden’s words melted into me, and I smiled before his lips found the crook of my hip.

“But I plan to do a lot more than just look at you, little fox.”

Kissing and massaging the sensitive flesh, Kaiden dropped lower and lower until he looked up at me, smirking from between my thighs. I remembered the feel of his tongue on my pussy, and arousal pooled inside me, warm and wet.

“Lie back. I’m going to be here a while.”

I smirked, chewing on my lip some more as I lay back. My head lulled to the side as my eyes closed. They pinched tighter as Kaiden slid his tongue through my folds, drinking me in. I arched into his mouth, the velvety feel of his slippery tongue making my nerves flare to life and my legs tremble.

“Kaiden!” I cried out in a low and raw moan, this desperate plea for him to keep doing those incredible things with his tongue.

He did.

Kaiden lapped at me as his hands massaged my breasts gently, mindful of the injury, and I tangled my fingers in his hair, egging him on. The burning in my clit climbed higher and higher until I thought I was going to explode from the blinding buildup.

And then I orgasmed—hard.

The exquisite pleasure that roared through me was so damn intense, and I completely blissed out, immune to reality. Kaiden kept going, bringing me right back to that edge and launching me off it again.

My heart pounded as I tried to catch my breath. I felt so blown apart, and lust flared. I need him. I need to taste him.

I sat up as Kaiden pulled back, kissing the inside of my thighs. As he looked up at me, he cocked a brow, silently asking what I was up to.
