Who needs to imprint?

I can’t imagine anything feeling better thanthis.

CHAPTER60

IRIS

Vhex and Remy’shunger never stops.

Neither does their fuckingstamina.

I come until my thighs are pudding. Vhex picks me up, already ready for another round.

“Enough, enough,” I groan and push him off. “Help me find clothes, and let’s get out of this hole.”

“Allow me,” Remy drawls. He drapes me in a cloak of shadows that secretly caresses my skin. My badges are pinned to the chest.

I shiver, and my legs quake, sparking a sharp pull that radiates from my knee.

As the buzz of venom fades, pain returns. Vhex and Remy licked all my scrapes closed, but the deep bruises and strains need a healer’s touch.

“I’ll carry you.” Vhex drops to a knee, his candy cock still glistening.

I bite my lip and look away. “Justcarry?”

“Yeah, but you’d want to latch on. For safety.”

“I’ll walk,” I answer breathlessly. “Has anyone seen my glaive?”

“Here.” With a twist of shadows, Remy offers the weapon plucked from who knows where.

“Thanks.” I take a cautious step and hiss.

My joints feel like stretched-out rubber bands. My knee is one thing. But every movement leaves me exquisitely aware of the gush between my thighs.

“Problem?” Remy asks.

As if his shadows aren’t smugly rubbing the wetness into my skin.

“No problem,” I answer firmly. “Let’s move.”

Someone has to pretend to be in charge.

Using my pole as a walking stick, I pick carefully across what’s left of the chamber. Blast pits pock the ground. Scattered corpses finally lie still.

“Want me to torch the place?” Vhex asks, pooling a fireball in his palm.

“No.” I snag his wrist to cut the flames. “Don’t touch anything yet.”

Unbothered, he hooks his arm in mine. “You’re the boss.”

Am I?

My gaze skates down his abs. I bite my lip and force myself to watch the floor instead.

Speaking of hunger…

Vhex’s meridians will need my attention for weeks or months—and probably forever, at the rate his power burns. Sensing the damage makes me itch to dig in, but I’ve graduated from needing the excuse to touch his skin.
