Page 28 of Krin

Krin skillfully maneuvered another sword with one hand, the blade slicing through the air with a swishing sound.

He stopped and looked over at me. “You try it with yours.”

It was quite impressive how he managed to keep a straight face while I struggled to mimic his movements. My lack of grace was clear in every clumsy move of the sword.

Replacing his sword on the wall, Krin silently moved to stand right behind me. I quivered in anticipation.

“I will show you how to hold and swing the blade correctly.” With a gentle touch, he reached around me and interlocked his fingers with mine, his body brushing against my back sending a wave of pleasure through me.

Heat pooled in my core, and I nearly melted on the spot.

Unlike my sweaty hands that made the sword’s hilt slippery in my palms. His hands were warm and steady.

Krin’s proximity and warmth of his body brushing against mine made me wish we’d just gone to his room and skipped all this.

It was too much.

His alluring masculine aroma nearly made me groan in delight. Biting my lips to keep my mouth shut, I rolled my eyes at myself.I’m clearly losing my mind.

I couldn’t resist taking a deep breath, closing my eyes to fully appreciate the rich, velvety timbre of his voice as he discussed the intricacies of sword fighting.

Without meaning to, my thoughts took a provocative turn, unleashing a flurry of vivid fantasies about all the sexy experiences I craved from him.

“Riley?” Krin’s breath brushed against my ear as he whispered.

Shit. Did he ask me something?“Um. Yes?”

A laugh escaped him. “Were you not paying attention?”

Oh yeah, I was totally paying attention to the enormous bulge poking into my lower back.His touch was so powerful that it sent a wave of shivers down my spine.

A soft moan escaped my lips, and my eyelids fluttered closed again. I savored the delicious sensation of his warm, hard body pressing against my back only for him to let go.

My throat felt parched, as if all the moisture had been sucked out, while a throbbing sensation pulsed in my groin.

My eyes popped open when Krin carefully took the sword from my hands. He returned it to its rightful place on the wall before meeting my gaze.

His erection was impossible to miss, as the usual bulge in his tight trousers had become twice as large. Damn, his size was truly impressive. The sight was a treat for the eyes, and I found myself captivated.

My heart raced as his lips formed a seductive grin and his intense gaze ignited a roaring fire within me.

“While I try to take you down, I want you to defend yourself,” he spoke with his customary Captain’s tone of authority. Gone was the hesitant warrior I’d spoken to the day before.

His lips curled in the corners. Despite the growing lust consuming us, he seemed intent on pretending everything was normal.

Yeah, no. Don’t think so.Sporting a cheeky grin, I braced myself for his frontal assault, swallowing to wet my dry throat. My entire body ached with longing.

Krin was totally focused on my lips, and I playfully ran my tongue over them.

My warrior mate swiftly overpowered me, pinning me to the floor with a burst of speed.

In that moment, everything seemed to pause, and our eyes locked in an intense silent conversation. His body hovered overmine as he straddled me, holding my arms down on each side without hurting me.

He leaned in closer. Our breaths mingled as my pulse picked up.

“You were supposed to stop me.” A sexy smile spread across his face.

I gazed up at him. “Maybe I don’t want to.” I placed my hands on each side of his head to pull his face toward me.
