“Luckily, the sun sets early this time of year. We’ll shower, get dressed, find a way to bundle you up. I’ll have Warren pick us up just outside of Chicago, lessen the risk of being seen.”

“This is so crazy,” she murmured.

“Nah, it’ll be okay. I promise.”

Quinn nodded, but the voice in the back of her head wouldn’t shut up.

More Mating, More Problems

Henrik kept lightly dragging his fingers over the bite mark on his shoulder. He saw stars when she sank her teeth into him. It took everything he had not to bite her back. He knew that she wasn’t ready, though it would seem she was more ready than even she realized.

“I would have us shower together, but that’s going to get distracting real quick and the hot water will be gone in about fifteen minutes, so we need to make it quick,” Henrik said as he crawled back over her body.

She laid back and looked up at him smiling. “It’s probably better that way. I’m a little sore.”

His hands slid down over her delectably curvy body. “Did I hurt you?”

“Only in a hurts so good sort of way. Trust me, I would’ve cried out my safe word if you went too far.”

“Safe word, huh?”

“You know, something like, tablespoon or monkey bread.”

“What in the gods of old is monkey bread?”

“I had a friend invite me to her house for Thanksgiving one year in college and her family had monkey bread for breakfast. It’s biscuit dough, with butter, cinnamon sugar, and baked in bunt cake pan. It’s amazing. I’ll make it for you sometime.”

“In meantime, I’ll just eat you if I want something sweet.”

“I suppose we do have to kill some time before we leave.”

“Some time, but we both need to fuel up. When we get back down there, it’ll be straight to work for us.”

She groaned. “No fair. I just want to play.”

He chuckled. “I promise, we’ll have plenty of time do that in the future. Bad guys first, then a ton of sex.”

“Deal.”

He leaned down and kissed her. It didn’t take much for the kiss to grow into something more than the sweet gesture it started out as.

“Henrik, if we keep laying here…”

He rocked his hips against her.

Her eyes widened. “You’re already hard again.”

“Sweetheart, you’re fucking sexy, I imagine I’m going to be hard around you all the time.”

Her cheeks pinkened again.

“I love it when you blush. It makes you look like you’re aroused.”

She gave him a playful shove. “I am aroused.”

“Even better.”
