Reed (Nano Wolves #4) - Donna McDonald Page 0,38

to obey her, Reed put his lips on hers. She hummed in pleasure and turned him to stone. He moved closer and kissed her more deeply. Their tongues tangled in the pleasure dance. It had been ages since he’d cared enough to bed someone. Now he cared too much.

He could have kissed her hours, but Katarina’s small hands went happily exploring. He rolled her to her back and rose over her. She stared up at him with more desire than he’d ever seen a female show.

“I feel like I should make a speech,” he said, looking down into her face.

Her snickering was accompanied by strong legs wrapping around his waist. He slowly pressed into the furnace of her body. When he was seated where he wanted to be, he bent his forehead to hers.

“Wow,” he said, lacking other words to describe how much at home he felt inside her.

Katarina smiled up into his eyes. “Wow is good word,” she whispered back.

When he started to move, Katarina arched to meet every thrust. It was… perfect. Just perfect. He was perfect. To make a child from this? That would be perfect too.

She lifted a hand and stroked his jaw. “I think I could love you.”

Reed laughed at her lukewarm declaration and hid his smile in her neck. When his fangs grazed the skin there, Katarina shook in his arms.

He moved again, but with intention this time.

Russian streamed from her lips when he pushed her over. He followed closely behind with a groan.

Genuine contentment settled on him like a warm blanket. His restless soul had finally found its match.

“You are even better than you look,” she said when her breath returned.

They lay panting against each other saying little.

Reed didn’t realize she held his full weight until she roughly pushed him off. The feeling of rejection lasted for a nano second before she rose over him.

Her lips and mouth rained reverent kisses everywhere.

Then they traveled lower.

“Katarina,” he whispered as she showed him what heaven was like.

Katarina woke in a mild panic with Reed’s long limbs wrapped around her and holding her in place. Luckily, she didn’t come awake clawing at him. She wasn’t used to sleeping with anyone, much less being constrained.

Struggling to move his naked body off hers, Katarina froze when she realized someone watched her struggle from the bottom of the bed.

“Good morning,” Brandi said with a grin, saluting Katarina with a cup of coffee. “You looked so comfortable, I decided to let you sleep a little longer.”

Katarina rolled her eyes as she finally freed herself from Reed, who was still out cold. The man slept like a tranquilizer dart had hit him. She should know.

“I locked door, but that was not enough. Stupid. I am so stupid. What if bad guys did this to us?”

Brandi chuckled and waved her coffee cup. “Relax. Your kidnappers are on the move again. So far, it looks like they didn’t bother trying to track you down. Being savvy agents, Gareth and I followed both your trackers here. I’m great at picking locks, especially the simple ones they put on places like this.” She stopped and took a sip before wrapping up. “Did I answer most of your questions?”

Katarina shrugged and then nodded. There was no escaping reality.

Brandi waved her coffee again. “We brought breakfast with us, including coffee. We keep some packed in our ready bags. Good thing we did. There’s literally nothing in this place to drink or eat. What did you guys do here—besides the obvious?”

“We fish in lake for food,” Katarina said, pushing the covers completely off. When she climbed from the bed, Reed didn’t even roll over. He just hunkered down in the warm space she’d vacated.

Staring at his naked form half in and half out of the covers, Katarina shook her head. They hadn’t stopped until sometime early this morning. No wonder the man needed sleep. She could use a few hours more herself.

“I’ve seen no one sneak up on an alpha before and live to tell about it. Have you checked to see if Reed’s dead?” Brandi asked with a laugh.

Katarina snickered at Brandi’s teasing and hugged her clothes to her body. “Best let sleeping wolf lie this morning. Temptation is more dangerous than he looks.”

Brandi grinned. “Thanks for the warning. I’ll get Gareth to wake him up when he and the team get back. Can I ask you a question before you run and hide in the bathroom?”

“I never hide from what I do,” Katarina said with a
