Finally, after what felt like a long time, Drago straightened up again and looked at her.
Addie propped herself up on her elbows.
“Am I healed now?”
"Not quite." He paused as though trying to how to put what he needed to say. "The lines in the other direction—the ones going inward, towards your body…"
“What about them?” Addie’s heart started pounding again. “Oh, can’t you heal them? Please tell me you can!”
“I can, baby. I can,” he said in a soothing voice. “It’s just…well, they go pretty far inward. Can I show you with my hand?”
“Oh, uh, sure.” Addie nodded. “Please do.”
“All right. They go from here…” Drago placed one callused fingertip at the place where the bite had been. “All the way up through here.” The finger moved, tracing a line inwards until it reached her pussy…and then went even further.
Drago was gentle and his touch was light but Addie could still feel his fingertip sliding gently over the aching bud of her clit.
“Oh!” she gasped, her hips jumping involuntarily at the little spark of pleasure his light touch sent through her. “All…all the way over there?”
“Afraid so, baby.” He nodded gravely. “The question is, do you mind if I lick you there?”
Addie nibbled her lower lip again.
“I mean…I think the real question is doyoumind? Not a lot of guys really enjoy, you know, licking that area."
His golden eyes flashed.
“Maybe human males don’t enjoy it. We Kindred fuckingloveit. There’s nothing I want more than to taste my Fated Mate—I’ve wanted it from the first minute I saw you. But I don’t want you to feel pressured or like I’m taking advantage of you.”
“No, you’re not—I know you’re not,” Addie said quickly. “And you can lick me there if you really want to. It’s just that I’m pretty sensitive and I might…might react if you, um do that.”
“Of course you’ll react—that’s fine,” Drago rumbled, stroking her thigh soothingly. “I just want you to know I’ll be licking until I’m sure all the venom is gone.”
“Do it then.” Addie nodded. “Iwantyou to do it, Drago. I mean, I want you to heal me,” she added quickly.
His eyes flashed.
“Good girl. All right then, here we go again. Just relax.”
Addie did as he said. Sinking back onto the pillows, she tried to let her muscles go limp…but it wasn’t easy when she felt his tongue sliding from her thigh inward.
He spent some time on the crease between her thigh and her body but then he moved to the outer lips of her pussy. Addie bit back a moan as she felt him licking her there, sliding over her sensitive flesh with long, slow strokes, concentrating first on the right side and then on the left. Finally he lifted his head and she could see that his golden eyes were half-lidded in the dim room.
“Going to have to move in now, baby. Going to have to lick your sweet little clit,” he growled softly. “Can you let me do that? Are you ready to let me heal you there?”
By now Addie’s heart was pounding and she could feel herself getting hot and wet. God, she’d dreamed of having him do this, though she’d never thought it could actually happen.
“I…I want you to,” she panted. “It’s just…I’m, uh, getting kind of, you know, wet down there.”
“I know.” His eyes flashed again. “Can’t wait to taste your juices, baby. Going to spread you wide and lick you nice and deep until you’re all healed. All right?”
“All…all right.” Addie could scarcely believe it. She’d been with several guys before who didn’t want to go down on her because she got “too wet.” But Drago seemed to feel the exact opposite.
“Good girl,” he murmured again. “Now just relax and let me heal you.”
Then he parted her pussy lips with his thumbs and leaned forward again to lick her some more.
Addie gasped and bucked her hips as she felt his hot, wet tongue slide slowly over her aching clit. Oh God, that feltamazing!He was doing it just right—licking her exactly where she needed to be licked. Her clit felt swollen with need and she couldn’t stop her back from arching with pleasure.
