“You’re the one that smells delicious, my lady,” he said, moving up her thigh.

Kelli had recovered enough to start feeling bold, so she parted her legs where she sat on the side of the tub, exposing her hot center to him.

He looked at it like it was a hypnotic pendulum.

“You naughty girl,” he whispered, looking up at her.

“I feel strong enough,” she nearly whimpered. “I trust you. I know you would never hurt me.”

Nox finished drying her quickly as if to avoid the enchanting fragrance of her pussy, then carried her to the bed where her nightie, robe, and slippers were laid out. He placed her down, then ran his hands over her knees. He stared at them as if he was trying to decide whether to part them and bury himself in her pussy.

“You’re right. I would never hurt you,” he said. “But your foot still needs healing. We have the rest of our lives to make love.”

Kelli didn’t want to push it because he was right. But she was addicted to having sex with Nox, so much so that her body literally ached from missing it. It wasn’t like the sex she’d had before him, not even a little bit.

She let him help her dress as usual, then pulled his head in for a light peck. She lingered there, staring at him, a sweet smile growing on her face.

“I understand, baby. But I want you to know that I can’t take it. I miss feeling you, so you let me know when you feel comfortable.”

He kissed her back with more vigor, and they spent the rest of the night cuddling and watching old movies together.

THIRTY-NINE

NOX

Nox woke late the next day, realizing that he and his beloved had truly needed a long rest. His eyes fluttered open, the sunlight peeping through a thin sliver of the shades, and he felt the sensation of his mate’s rump pressed up against him.

Even in the daze of waking, Nox felt himself getting instantly hard. Kelli’s hair was flared out over the sheet, looking like a decadent, fiery painting carved on the walls of the pyramids. She breathed lightly, her bare neck exposed and calling to him.

He had been sincerely concerned when she was ravenous for him the day before. He did not want to place any pressure on her or extend the progression of her injury whatsoever. But as he gazed upon her form, still voluptuous even in her pajama’s long-sleeve top and pants ensemble. He knew there was a way they could manage sex with little risk.

Nox lifted his head and kissed the inside of her neck as softly as a flower’s petal. She moved slightly, and he made his way down the valley of her waist and hips. She moved around a bit more, taking in a deep, satisfying breath. He brought his mouth to her neck again while tracing her side, moving his fingers under the silk of her top.

When he touched her skin, she let out a moan that sent a chill up Nox’s spine. She slowly leaned her head against him as he pressed his lips harder, with more meaning, into her neck and teased his way up her shirt.

“Mmm, baby,” she groaned.

“It’s time to wake you up,” he purred into her ear.

She immediately pressed her ass to his cock, the rest of her body arching in reaction to this pronouncement. Nox’s wolf growled inside him, the urgent need to satisfy his mate impossible to ignore.

“Yes, wake me up, baby,” she moaned to him.

Nox began licking her neck, nipping, and kissing as one hand found her soft and tender breasts. Her skin was cool and lovely to touch with his massive, warm hands. She responded with gasping awe. He moved his cock against her clothed body, then used one hand to scurry down between her legs.

Nox groaned a deep rumble as he found the folds of her soaking pussy. He slid two fingers between them and gently rubbed her clit.

“Oh, Nox,” she whispered, sultry as ever.

Kelli was eager and as ready as Nox. They had yet to make love since the final showdown with Archie, and for them, it was a way to heal, to bond, and to relax within the boundless scope of their love.

She lifted her arms over her head and plunged her fingers into his hair, pressing her ass even harder into his stone-hard cock. He wouldn’t be able to resist much longer, but he wanted to make sure her engine was revved up.

Nox moved his fingers in faster circles over her clit, making his beloved tremble and shake. She followed his rhythm as she began humping against his fingers, her nipples hardening as her climax rose rapidly.

“Oh, fuck, Nox, yes! Just like that, baby, yes!”

He buried his face in her neck, taking in that magical and enchanted scent of hers, knowing that her climax would explode not only between her legs but also in his mouth as her endorphins blasted through her body.
