No, I’m not panicking!

Who said panic?

Kai is determined, calm, and nails me to him to put his mouth on mine.

My stress valve bursts with his kiss. I relax. Kai gives light kisses to my lips, applying the anaconda grip I’m getting used to. What’s the point of lying to myself? I adore anaconda-Kai. He can clutch me to death, and I’ll ask for more.

“Can I make it up to you for the lost days?”

I blab, stuttering and blushing. “You don’t have to,” is all I can reply. A crowd boos me in my mind. “I mean… yes.”

My arms go around him to hug him, and I let out a tiny but needy moan after a fiery kiss.

His tongue slides over my lips. “I want to make you moan louder than that first sip of coffee.”

“Oh, god…”

I chuckle as my man runs his mouth to my neck and sucks on the skin, causing my thighs to clutch his hips and my fingers to clench on his back.

He’s already naked and hard.

Kai trails steamy kisses down to my covered nipples, each touch sending a hot gush to my pussy. My body recognizes those open-mouthed, hungry kisses.

My head falls back, deep into the pillow. “Yes…”

A dark chuckle erupts from his throat. “I’ve been a reckless man. Taking what I want, stealing from anybody, killing without remorse, thinking only about my own pleasure.” He stops to stare into my eyes. “But now… I want to give you everything I can.”

My eyes widen, my chin receding in shock. “Give me what?” I ask, my throat suddenly tight.

A twitch at the corner of his mouth is the only sign he’s about to unleash whatever he’s kept caged. “Safety,” he breathes against my breasts. “Trust.” His teeth graze a nipple, and I gasp, my fingers clutching at the sheets. “Pleasure...”

“I mean… Isn’t it going to be frustrating?”

Kai’s laugh rumbles through his chest, vibrating between my breasts. “I kind of like that,” he replies, a smirk tugging at his lips. “This is all about you.”

“Really?”

He nods, his gaze intense and focused. “Yes, let me do this for you.”

I hesitate. “But what about-”

“Love, please,” he begs. “Give me your consent.”

I’m overwhelmed by his fierce devotion and determination. “You have it.”

Oh, dear Lord…Arietta’s voice rings in my skull.“Always have a safe word. Al-fucking-ways.”

Do I need a safe word?

Kai doesn’t wait. His hands work fast, stripping me of my clothes piece by piece. Each garment discarded feels like shedding a layer of hesitation and fear. He’ll get me there. When I’m bare beneath him, he pauses to take me in, his eyes alive with desire and something deeper, more profound.

“I’m in love with you.”

“You’re just…” He doesn’t finish, but I understand his heated gaze. “Incredible.”

As he lowers his head to my neck, nipping gently at my skin, I arch back into him, wanting more. I squirm under his touch, anticipation coiling tightly in my belly when he flips me over, my ass on display. Hopefully, the pillows hide my red-hot blush.

His hands glide down my sides, fingers digging into my hips as he pulls me closer. My breath catches in my throat as he grinds his hips against me, and I whimper.
