ChapterSeven

Sleepless in Midnight…

By the following morning, Kane was nearing his limit. A breakfast was brought to the room by the hotel’s room service. After checking it over to make sure nothing was being smuggled into the room, he followed the cart and server inside to ensure nothing happened.A scent hit Kane, and he stiffened.

The scent of sex…

On the bed lay a large dildo and a bottle of lube. And from the sights and scents in the room, it was apparent Caelian had used them the night before. Kane growled under his breath, getting both Caelian and the server’s stare.

Caelian went back to ignoring him, the elf being charming to the server before eventually casting him a dirty look.

When the server left, Caelian sat down alone to eat, his back to Kane.

Kane sighed and looked away… his stare going back to the bed. The dildo was nearly as big as he was. It immediately put the images that had been dancing through his mind all night as he’d guarded the man’s door right back to the forefront.

And told him the man could handle him.

That was both good and bad news—bad because it only made him want harder.

He turned to see Caelian looking at him over one shoulder.

“You wouldn’t help me last night, so I had to take matters into my own hands.”

Kane narrowed his stare. “Couldn’t.” He paused. “Not wouldn’t.”

Caelian rose from the chair and closed the gap between them. “Couldn’t? I didn’t see a reason why we couldn’t have let off a little steam together.” The elf trailed a finger up the middle of his armor.

“I was here to protect you. That would’ve been a little difficult if I’d been in your bed.”

“Did you want to be in my bed?”

Kane eyed him. “What do you think?”

A smile crossed Caelian’s lips. “Sit down.”

Kane frowned. “Why?”

“Just sit down.”

He did, perching on the corner of the bed. Caelian moved between his thighs, and they were nearly nose-to-nose.

“You’re too damned tall for me to kiss you standing up,” Caelian said before leaning in and pressing his lips to Kane’s.

Caught off guard, Kane froze. But as the need reared deep, he grabbed Caelian’s hips and dragged the man closer and deepened the kiss. His only wish was that he didn’t have armor separating them. He wanted to touch every inch, skin to skin. The kiss was the next best thing. Indulging, he licked and nibbled, feasting on the elf’s mouth. The hunger consumed him, making him forget about duty and why he was truly there. When they parted a few minutes later, he growled again, needing more.

He looked down at his armor, reminded of that duty of his. “I need to get you to the library.”

“Can’t we be a little late?”

“Cannon should be there to take over your watch in less than an hour.”

Caelian grimaced. “I can’t stand that shifter.”

Kane frowned. “Has he done something to you?”

“No. He’s just a pig, in every sense of the word.”

Kane chuckled. “Pig or not, I don’t need him telling the Guard that I was late bringing you to your destination. We need to get moving.”
