CHAPTER FIFTEEN

KObrIK

" W here would you like to sleep?" Kenzie replies with a playful lilt to her voice.

I should sleep far from her where I can't touch her. With her sucking on fruit—the juice of which drips down her chin, enticing me to lick it off and keep going until I reach her center—has me harder than steel.

"I will sleep wherever you wish."

"I make tons of hard decisions every day in the E/R. I think I'll defer to a warrior's instincts."

Did she have to say hard ? I stand and turn my back to her long enough to adjust my trou which are now incredibly tight.

"I've upset you," she says, her voice falling.

"You've aroused me," I confess as I turn to her. Her eyes focus on the bulge of my trou.

"Can I touch your horns?"

That's not what I expected her to say, but I happily kneel in front of her and lower my head. Carefully, lovingly, she runs her hands up and down both horns, caressing them, straining my willpower. I have the need—not mere desire—to lift her up, throw her down on the bed, and drive into her with my pleasure cock until she screams my name.

With her finger, she draws circles over the pleasure nodes at the base of my horn. Krike, I'll be the one screaming in ecstasy.

"What do these bumps do?" she asks, her voice as sweet as a songbird and her words full of innocence.

When I open my mouth to answer her, a moan escapes me.

"Oooo, I found an erogenous zone." Sensuous lips curl into a grin that has my heart beating in sync with my cock. This female is so drekking perfect.

As her hands glide lower and my horns curl back to keep from hurting her, her hand suddenly leaves me to hide a yawn. A massive one.

"Excuse me," she says. That smile will do me in one of these days. And I look forward to that.

"Drekk, female, do not apologize for being tired. You should sleep. Get in bed. I'll take the floor in the outer room."

She yawns again. And again. "This is not how I envisioned this evening."

I kiss the top of her head as I rise, but instead of letting me walk away, she grips me by my trou and runs a hand over my raging cock.

"Tomorrow, Kenzie. I would love nothing more than to spend hours exploring one another, but you are tired. As am I."

"Are you sure? I don't mind doing all the, um, work. I wouldn't want you getting blue balls because of me."

"My balls are already blue."

"Oh, right! Then what does a zyanthan male get from arousal building up with no relief? Purple balls?"

"That's another species. One that frequents Karthika."

Her brows scrunch together in a delightful manner. "Won't you get sexually frustrated?"

"Not if I'm wrapped around a soft female while I sleep."

She peels back the covers. "Slide in, Warrior. There's no way I'm letting you sleep on a cold, hard floor."

"You trust me not to touch you?"

"I do. Do you trust me?" she asks in turn, which confused me.

"Yes," I reply.

"You shouldn't." A sexy smile fills her face, leaving no question what she's thinking. My cock pulses in response.

"We both need sleep, yes?"

"Oh, we'll sleep. The question is before or after?" Her smile reaches her eyes… and my heart.

"You're making this hard, female."

"Can I feel how hard?" She rises to her knees, her curvy body as enticing as her expression and thinly veiled meaning.

As her hand reaches for my cocks, I capture her wrist. "First you heal my arm and now this."

"You earned it. Tenfold."

She owes me nothing. I will not abandon her, nor will I take advantage of her. But I prefer a bed to the floor.

I kiss her hand, then step back and remove my boots and weapons but leave my trou on. "I will share your bed. But I will not touch you."

"That's a shame." She crawls to the far side of the bed, giving me a view of her shapely ass as the thin fabric rides high on her back. "Especially since I plan on touching you…"
