“Yes, but the only tickling I want tonight is your fingers or your tongue in my pussy.”

“Peri!” Straightening quickly, my eyebrows climbing up my forehead, I stared down at her in shock.

“What? It happens in all those romance books. Haven’t you ever read one?”

“No, I don’t read porn,” I started to say, but she cut me off.

“Oh, you watch it instead?”

“I have never indulged in porn in any medium, thank you very much, but your brothers had a lot to say about Miss Clit last night.”

“Oh, they did, did they?” Stretching up on her tippy toes, she wrapped her arms around my neck and rubbed her front against mine. Even through our swim shirts, I could feel the hard pebbles in the center of her breasts, and my body reacted predictably. “How about you demonstrate some of that advice for me now?”

“I’d be glad to.”

I kissed her deeply as my hand reached up to cup her cheek, my thumb gently stroking the soft skin there. I pulled her closer, our bodies pressing together, and I knew she could feel my desire swelling against her hip.

She moaned into my mouth as my other hand slid up her thigh, my fingers skimming the sensitive skin. She shifted, opening her legs slightly to give me better access, and I took the opportunity to slide my hand further up, my fingers dancing dangerously close to the heat between her legs.

“A bed, Ty,” she begged. “Get us to a bed.”

“Anything for you, Sunshine,” I rasped.

Carrying her down the hall, I savored her mouth, daring to dart my tongue between her lips, and she hummed low in her throat, encouraging me. By the time I made it to the bedroom, I’d tasted every inch of her hot, wet mouth and only broke the kiss when I laid her down.

“Ty?” She tangled her fingers up in my hair and tugged gently. “Why’d you stop?”

“I want to mark you first. May I?”

“Oh, yes, please!” Her smile lit up the dimly lit room, and she wiggled around until she was in the center of the bed, then spread her arms wide, welcoming me to join her.

With a chuckle, I did, half-laying on her as I trailed kisses along her jaw and down her neck, nipping at the silky skin with my teeth. She tilted her head back, exposing more of her throat, and I pulled the neck of her swim shirt to the side so my tongue could trace patterns in the little dip between her collar bone and the knob of her shoulder. When she shivered under me, I knew I’d found the right spot.

“There?” I murmured, my voice husky with desire.

“Yes,” she moaned, and I needed no more invitation than that.

Rousing River from his lively conversation with Dove, I quickly explained what was happening, and he excitedly seized control for a moment and sank his fangs in her special spot, then lapped away the twin dots of blood before subsiding as quickly as he’d ascended.

“That was fast,” Peri chuckled. “I didn’t have time to feel it.”

“Good,” I said absently as I stared in horror at the mark.

It was clearly River’s face in all his gray fluffy glory, but he hadn’t done a good jobat all. It was messy and looked unfinished and, oh, Goddess! Peri was going to hate it!

Oh, Riv, what did you do?I wanted to cry or scream at him, but if I did either, he would respond in kind, and I’d rather make love to my woman than comfort my wolf all night.

Me do what Dovie say to do,he chirped back.Dovie love it! Dovie so happy!

“Well?” Peri put her hands on either side of my face and tilted my head so she could see in my eyes. “What does it look like?”

“Let’s save it as a surprise for tomorrow,” I suggested.

“No, I want to see it now.” She pushed at my chest, trying to get up, and I rolled onto my side, but pulled her with me.

“Sunshine, I’m sorry. I should have prepared River more, I guess, but I assumed he would know what he was doing.”

“Okay, now Ineedto see. Link me what it looks like.” Her flashing eyes and set face told me that I had no choice, so I did as she asked. “Oh! Oh, my!”
