SOUNDTRACK: Curiosity by Bryce Savage. ***** ~ Cain ~ I sent a prayer of thanks to God that I hadn’t discovered that fact sooner, I would have ended up taking her in the car… or worse. A shudder rocked through me when I found her, slick and ready. And as I drew fingers against the softest, most heated skin, as my wolf howled that she was mine, she lifted her head and clawed her fingers into my hair, holding me against her as I sucked so hard I was afraid it might hurt her. Her hips bucked under my touch and she shifted her weight, spreading her legs more to give me bett

~ Cain ~I lay there with my beautiful mate, stunned speechless. Stunned thoughtless, at first.I was nothing but a riot of emotions. There were no bones inside me, only feelings, and all of them needy.She was incredible.When I could finally get my head back, we lay together on our sides, looking at each other. She was smiling. Her eyes were wide, but sparkling with joy.And as I stroked her face and drank her in, I was awed by what I could feel.No self-consciousness. No barriers.She was as open to me as… well, as a child, thoug

 ~ Cain ~ Kelsie lay on the bed, her knees apart, and head craned up, watching me wide-eyed as I crawled up after her, kissing my way up the inside of her thigh, careful to stroke gently with my other hand so that she was goosebumped everywhere below the waist. And the higher my kisses climbed, the tenser she got. “Cain, I… I don’t think you should…” The first flicker of fear started in her and I could feel it. I cursed it, as for the first time, I teased her folds with my tongue. She sucked in a little gasp and tensed more, but replacing my tongue with two gentle fingers, I lifted my head only high enough to meet her eyes. &lsq

~ Cain ~ “What was your life like before? With your other mate, I mean,” Kelsie asked quietly. Something inside me dropped a little at the question. That explained the flutter of uncertainty she’d been feeling for the past few minutes. We were in the kitchen because after all the lovemaking, both of us were starving. I was making some sandwiches and Kelsie sat at the island watching me. But I’d been feeling her getting a little more tense every minute. Not bad. Not like she was afraid, or regretting. But as if there was something on her mind that was bothering her. I’d been wondering how to ask without making her feel like she had to defend herself. It looked like I’d gotten my doorway into her mind. I looked up from the chopping board where I was slicin

 ~ Kelsie ~ It was going dark outside, so when Cain carried me into the room where I’d first found his wolf, the room was quite dark. It only had a small, high window on one side. But I kind of liked it, because I could still see him, but there was this veil of darkness between us that made me feel like I needed to touch more. At first, Cain dropped into the couch with my legs across his lap. My back was to the arm of the couch and he leaned over me, kissing deeply, his hand sliding up my legs, then under the hem of his shirt that I’d thrown on. His touch made me shiver every time. Everything was new and exciting, so my body seemed to thrill every time he touched me, even gently. I hoped I’d never lose that with him.
