"To apologize."

Sure enough, he eases back enough for me to catch his eyes roll to the Heavens. "Yeah, okay—I don't believe that for a—"

"I do," I interject, cinching his entire expression.

"You believe her?"

"I didn’t at first, but the longer our conversation spanned, the more I accepted it.”

Not a word follows. It’s so quiet you could hear a blade of grass bending in half. Tavi’s staring at me like I’ve mutated, incredulously, a million questions brewing in his brown eyes. “You can’t be serious.”

“I am.” I nod, tapping the tip of his nose. “See, this is where you and I are very different, love. Yes, what Tinksley did is horrendous, but I’m alive, right? The girl was provoked, drowning in the aftermath of...well, you know, and if nothing else at all, her cry for help led me to you. Had she not brought me here, we never—"

"Did you just call me love?" An enamored grin spreads across his face.

Really? That’s exactly what my face says right now, lips curling in amusement. "Is thatreallyall you heard out of everything I just said?"

"Oh no, I heard you, but it took a backseat tothat."

"It's a common term back home. Everyone I care for is ‘love.’”

A single breath, that’s all it takes for him to lean into me once more, his fingers threading into my hair, lips brushing against mine. "So does that mean you care about me, little wolf?"

The husky timber of his voice.

His hard body pressing me into the mattress.

I can feel him,all of him,triggering flashes of earlier this afternoon.I’m trying not to focus on the way my pussy clenches, but..."Are we still playing this game?" I breathe, eager for the brutal assault that is his kiss.

"I told you,” he chuckles darkly, playfully licking the seam of my lips. “I like this game."

"If I play along, will you finally finish what you started?" Shameless. I’m utterly shameless in this moment.

Worked up.

Needy.

In sheer seconds, he’s shifted the entire course of the conversation, dropping me right back into the moment where we left off as if we were never interrupted at all.

To say I want him would be the understatement of the year.

"I'd say you just made your move, baby. That right there tells me everything I need to know." His hips roll into me, bubbling the softest moan in my throat as I lock my arms around his neck for leverage.

"When will Soren be home?"

"Soon, I believe," he hums, rolling into me again.

Evidently, though,soonmeans right now. That or Soren heard his name and opted to be interruption number two.

The front door slams shut. "Tav, you here?"

I groan frustratedly and I don’t give a damn how whorish it sounds. That’s twice in one day, adding pressure to the already tightly coiled situation. Tension has been building for days, begging to be set free, for us to act on it and feed our desires.

Tavi suppresses a laugh and quickly pecks my lips. "In here!" he calls out over his shoulder before turning his attention back to me. "Patience,love,you're mine once he’s out for the count, don’t you worry."
