Seraphina's POVKit was laying back on a blanket, leaning on his arms, bathed in sunlight, while Annika happily took apple slices and carrot matchsticks from him. He was laughing while Annika babbled at him, digging through his picnic basket for cookies.God, it looked like a dream. He wore that shirt, clinging to his thick arms, the v-neck dipping past his collarbone. He was beautiful and seeing him with Annie made him look even more breathtaking. My heart squeezed, my chest flushing with warmth.I brought my sandwich up to my lips and took a bite, enjoying the sights when Kit got up to chase Annika around the park, her squealing with joy. It sounded like music. Suddenly Annie turned, sprinting toward me in full force. "Mama! Mama!""Mama?" I gasped, eyes lighting up. I outstretched my arms and she threw herself into me like a bowling ball. "Did you say Mama, sweet pea?""That's what I heard," Kit answered, settling down on the blanket next to me."Mama goobalalala,"
Kit's POV"How's the food?" I asked, gazing at Sera across the table as she sipped on her soup. Still incredibly happy Rosie convinced her to take this trip with me. Her hair was curled around her ears, cascading in thick blonde tendrils. "Tastes fancy," she replied with a cheeky smile. "I'd hope so," I shot back, grinning at her and watching those blue eyes light up. She smelled like that cucumber melon shampoo I liked. The same scent I breathed in lungfuls of when she got to her knees in front of me.Lust stirred in my belly. I was really looking forward to getting to my knees in front of her tonight. She would barely remember her name when we were done. But I knew if Sera had her way with me, it wouldn't be one-sided. It had been nearly five months since that night and we still hadn't had time to be intimate again. Aside from phone sex and if we were lucky, heavy petting. And I wasn't the only one being tortured, Sera very clearly wanted to be physical, but that just wa
Seraphina's POVI enjoyed dinner way more than I should have. I enjoyed every moment of watching Kit get worked up. I could feel it in how he looked at me as I fed him bites of a brownie sundae. Pupils narrowed, lust darkening his eyes.He was hungry for me. And it made my belly tighten in all sorts of delicious ways. He'd take the spoon into his mouth, eyes locked on me as his sinfully talented tongue slid around it. Excitement buzzed inside of me. I was excited about tonight. Not just about the sex I'd been craving for the past several months, but also about being able to sleep next to him. Feel his strong arms around me, protecting me while we slept. The intimacy of being held was something my body craved almost more than sex.Almost.I had to practically sit on my hands to keep from touching him as we drove toward the cabin. I could see the imprint of his cock, not as obviously hard as it was earlier, but still thick and excited for me. My mouth salivated as I t
Kit's POV"Still beautiful," I murmured as I tilted my head down to kiss the back of her neck. A ripple of goosebumps pebbled across her back. Her heart was hammering, throbbing hard against my hands as I trailed them down her body to wrap around her waist.All lines of tension and nervousness slackened in her narrow shoulders. But even so, as she leaned back against me, she still said, "You don't have to lie to me."My first instinct was to tell her I wasn't lying. Sera was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. When she stepped away from me, slowly ridding herself of clothing on the way to the bedroom, I was in awe of her. I looked her up and down, fingers aching to feel that warm supple skin.I devoured the curve of her waist, the dimples around her hips, the softness of her stomach, and the teardrop shape of her breasts. The same body that nourished her daughter.The body that housed and protected her from harm. I stared at the claw marks along her back, jagged wou
Seraphina's POVA hot rush of euphoria welled inside of me. Coiling my belly. Expanding in my chest. The waves of my orgasm pulled me under, overwhelmed with the sensation of Kit's tongue and fingers playing my body. He knew how to touch me.He knew what my body needed.But even as I came down, I wasn't done. I needed more. I needed to feel him inside of me with a fervent passion. My body hungered for him. I thrashed underneath him as he continued to lick my swollen flesh, watching me with a cocky smugness that only turned up the flames. His fingers left my body and instantly, I ached with the desire to be full again."I-I need more," I panted, my hips bucking against his face as if I didn't just ride his tongue. "More?" he asked playfully, smacking a kiss against my thigh.His mouth felt wonderful. Every single time he kissed me, it didn't matter where, ignited a powerful heat under it. Like his kisses scorched me in the most delicious way. "Yes. More. Unless you
Kit's POVThe sunlight gleamed through the bedroom window, stirring me from a very satisfied sleep. Sera's soft body was wedged between my arms, naked warm skin pressed and plastered against mine. She felt perfect. Nuzzled into my chest, nose puffing hot breath across my neck. Red lovebites and teeth marks were already fading from my skin, but I wanted to wear them forever. The visual of Sera underneath me, squirming and panting about how I belonged to her swam through my head.I wanted her to claim me, choose me, and as I kissed her tangled, golden hair, I knew she had. I felt so fucking happy. A smile forever plastered on my face.My wolf wanted to come out and play last night, waiting for the opportunity for me to let my guard down so he could spring forward and claim her. But I wouldn't let it happen. Even now, he paced under my skin, anxious and irritated, but he'd have to deal.Right now, he can be content with how my scent was all over her. In her hair, along her skin
Seraphina's POV"Hey, Sera, do you mind trying this for me?" Kit asked from the kitchenette, trying his hand at cooking breakfast while I packed our bags for the short trip home. Part of me was already mourning the loss of not waking up to him anymore.It's only been two mornings, but I loved feeling the sun come through the curtains. It would bathe him with golden light, making him look more stunning than he usually did. I'd grown used to the feeling of his skin against mine.Curled up together under the comforter, surrounded by his smell. Earthy and musky and unabatedly Kit, I wished I could bottle it up and take it around to smell him whenever I wanted. It had a calming effect on me. Even when I had a nightmare last night, I woke up, buried my nose in his shoulder and he soothed me right back to sleep. I zipped up the bag and walked over to him, smelling what looked like fried potatoes, but it didn't smell remotely like hash. "Sure," I offered, parting my lip so he could
Seraphina's POVAs Kit and I drove back to the homestead, I still hadn't received my morning messages from Rosie. This was odd—nearly noon. Annie would be awake by now. Rosie would have taken Annika to work with her. I would have gotten a picture of Annie playing in Rosie's herb display.My hands began to tingle, and I had a sinking feeling in my gut.I didn't like this. I didn't like this at all. Kit reached over to me, grasping my hand. Usually, his touch soothed me, but not today. I felt on edge. My magic hummed, as anxious as I was."Are you okay?" Kit asked, eyes on the road as we turned onto the dirt road that led to Rosie's extended driveway. My throat began to ache, and my voice was small. "Something is wrong."He could feel it too, his shoulders curling forward, bending his neck toward the road. His nostrils flared as if he was taking in every tiny piece of information he could. "Shit," he growled. "I smell blood.""Drive," my voice dropped. Tendrils of fe
