Alek stared at me with a rather intent look. With a start, I realized what it meant.
His lips curved in a smile.
'Why did you jump?'
I flushed as he gave me another of those looks.
Suddenly, what had seemed so unthinkable rapidly became appealing. I bit my lip, too tired to think of a witty response. Instead, I let my eyes do the talking.
He still wore the dark clothing from under his armor and the high riding boots. The fitted tunic top and slim pants didn't hide a thing—not the contours of his muscular chest or his erection. Alek watched as I studied him, and my energy began to rise.
Cat's eyes slanted at his teasing to a coquettish expression and she studied his figure. He smirked when her gaze rested on his pants and that red energy began to emanate. Alek stood and Cat cocked her head, an alluring hint of smile gracing her lips as she watched him.
Just watching him walk over gave me a rush of pleasure, his muscles rippling as he moved. When Alek knelt in front of the seat, I couldn't help the slow, pleased smile that broke out.
'Kitten,' he said the word provocatively and slid a hand along either thigh, leaning in to press a delicate, enticing kiss on my cheek. I shuddered and gasped, stunned at the sudden wave of desire.
Alek pulled back at that gasp.
Cat's eyes were wide with surprise and a much deeper green than normal, both cheeks flushed with arousal, and he felt desire rise at that expression.
'You needing this too?' he murmured and leaned in to brush his lips against hers.
Two slim hands slid up over his chest and behind his head, burying deep in his hair as she licked and nipped at his lips when he teasingly held back for an instant. Alek opened his mouth to her and wrapped his arms tight around her, a hand firmly holding the back of her head. They broke apart, breathing hard and laughed at each other. Cat trailed gentle kisses along his jaw line. It almost tickled. He shivered at the erotic sensation, and she chuckled then nipped his chin before sitting back, eyes twinkling. Alek took the opportunity to lift her from the seat; his hands spread over that tight, warm ass and carried her to the bed.
I loved how he could carry me so easily, and giggled when he dropped me onto the bed. Then squeaked in alarm as he fell over me. Alek laughed at my look of surprise when he caught his weight, an arm on either side of me. The desire left as love suffused. His laughter gave me such joy. I reached out and gently traced that strong jaw, smiling as he turned to press a kiss to my palm and then stared down at me.
'I love you.'
Those sapphire eyes reflected the expression of love. He rubbed his nose gently against mine and began placing feather light kisses on my forehead, moving slowly down to my mouth.
She sighed in pleasure at the light kisses and Alek paused at her mouth, savoring the kiss. The red energy began to flush out around her, echoed by the flush of her skin and he felt his own energy begin to respond. It didn't feel like the last couple of times it had been triggered. This time it felt as though his skin was thinner, more sensitive, and he could feel the throb of Cat's energy through it. The intense wave of arousal it brought was almost shocking.
Curious to see if he were truly feeling it, Alek began to move his mouth down Cat's neck in open, languid kisses, and nibbled at the collarbone that jutted up.
The tiny, gasping breaths she made echoed through the red energy and then through his. The sensation was so intense he had to pause, breathing hard as his head spun. Cat chuckled, and he opened his eyes to hers.
'Feel it too?' she asked.
Alek nodded, grinning down at her before leaning forward and kissing her. The swell of energy left them both panting.
'Whoa.'
Alek's cheeky look of delight made me laugh. The sensation of his energy combined with mine was heady, to say the least.
I gasped when he dropped his head, gently kissing the tops of my breasts while he worked my shirt open. When he paused to tug the ties out I let out a grumble of protest and was rewarded with one of those sexy smirks he excelled
