Page 84 of I Replaced His Husband
Slowly, I laid him on his stomach, climbed on top, and pressed my dick against his puffy rim, sliding it in to continue thrusting deep into Kay's warm passage. I kept the pace medium, somewhere in the middle between intense fuck and slow sway, just enjoying the rhythm, the feeling of unity.
Kay sank into a relaxed state. He wasn’t just lying there anymore, only taking it. I could feel that he was accepting me inside, much more willingly than before. Some energy was shifting between us. It wasn't much, more of an energetic change than a physical one, but I still felt it.
Was Nathaniel right? Maybe there was abreakthroughafter all?
Even if it was small, I wanted to show him how much it meant to me. I knew things that seemed simple to me could be huge for him. But I didn’t want to pinpoint anything directly, so I decided on a more general expression of appreciation.
"Thank you," I said, my voice quiet. "Thank you for trusting me with your safety tonight."
He opened his eyes and lifted his head slightly. I paused and slowly pulled out. He rolled onto his back and spread his legs. Was that a signal to keep going, but this time… face-to-face?
I didn’t question it. I leaned in and slid back into him. Now we were looking right at each other; it was intense. I rocked into him slowly. The room was silent except for our breathing and the quiet sounds of our bodies moving, rubbing together.
"I'm going to do everything in my power to protect you, Kay," I murmured, my breath catching in my throat. "I promise."
"I don’t want other alphas touching me, or even looking at me like that, aroused, wild," he whispered, just as breathless.
The intensity in his voice caught me off guard. I nearly stopped, but I managed to answer him, "I won’t let them. I’ll scare the hell out of them if I have to."
"If it weren’t for your protection, they’d use me like an object. Just the thought makes me sick. Adam and Marco… betas… they can’t keep me safe the way you can. You’re analpha."
Feeling that my ego had been pampered a little, I kept moving inside him, in an even and gentle pace, and replied breathlessly, "No, they can’t. Not like this. But I can. And I will. I know you can't be mine now, Kay. ButI'm yours. And I'm here for you and your baby."
I knew how it sounded, maybe dramatic, pompous, but I meant every word. He needed to hear it.
Our eyes remained locked. His energy was… content; he had accepted my confession. He trusted me, needed me, and that was something to build on.
From time to time, I planted a soft kiss on his cheek. He said nothing as Imade loveto him, and kept occasionally leaving small, tender pecks all over his face, but avoided his tempting, wet, plump lips.
And that was okay, I could still be happy.
We had time.

The next morning, the first thing I did after waking up with Kay in my arms was call the manufacturer of the suppressant, Malden Pharmaceuticals. Their online customer service was already up and running, so I made the call while still in bed. I had a few reasons for wanting to do it with Kay there.
Sitting with my back against the headboard, I took a moment to mentally prepare. Kay was lying next to me, half-asleep but listening. I gave a quick rundown of my situation to the consultant, who said they hadn’t heard of any side effects likethat. He told me he’d transfer the call to someone in the research department.
After a few minutes on hold, a new voice came on the line. I repeated my story. The person listened carefully and said, "I need to check in with my supervisor. Can you leave your number? We’ll call you back."
I hung up and looked over at Kay.
"They’ve never seen a case like this," I said with a shrug, trying to sound casual.
"I bet they haven’t. It’s a mash-up of, like, three or four things, pretty unlikely to all happen at once." Kay’s voice was poised, yet slightly amused.
I watched him. "Sounds like you’ve been thinking about it."
"Yeah, I have. A lot, actually. Honestly… it’s all I can think about."
That landed more heavily than I expected.
"Wanna explain?"
"The True Mate thing."
Yep,hebrought it up this time, not me. The room fell into a deep stillness. That topic made me incredibly uneasy. I already knew it could throw Kay into a dark mood, like yesterday, so I was hesitant to go there.
