him,” I said thoughtfully, petting the wolven’s head as he sat beside me, his pink tongue lolling out from the warmth of the day.
“Name him?” Kellin chuckled, giving me a quick kiss. “This I have to hear.”
“Mm, I think he looks like a Max. What do you think?” I asked, rubbing the wolven who leaned into my hand affectionately.
“No,” Kellin groaned. “He’s a fierce warrior. He needs a beast-like name like… Four Paws.”
“Four Paws.” I laughed uproariously. “Like ‘Faux Pas’?”
“Yeah.” Kellin grinned, rubbing the wolven’s head. “You like that name, don’t you?
The wolven wagged his nubby tail and gave Kellin’s hand a lick. Kellin smiled at me triumphantly.
“Four Paws it is.” I giggled, letting Four Paws lick my cheek. “I can’t imagine what you’ll want to name our kids.”
We both became silent, and I slapped my hand over my mouth. We’d never spoken of children before, and I just sort of blurted it out.
“You’ve thought about having kids with me?” Kellin asked softly, his blue eyes searching mine.
“Well, yeah, I guess,” I answered, my face hot from my embarrassment. “I mean, not right away, but I figured if we’re married it’ll happen someday.”
“I love you,” he whispered, smiling at me, his eyes shining brightly.
“I-I love you, too,” I replied, my heart thrumming in my chest. The words tumbling from my mouth were mostly the truth. They were ones I hadn’t wanted to admit before but felt like now was the time to finally say them. I felt deeply for the beautiful man staring down at me. But love? Was this love? It was different than what I had with Calix. Could loving a different person create a different feeling? I didn’t have a lot of time to ponder it because Kellin’s voice broke into my troubled thoughts.
“Come here,” he growled, pulling me to him and kissing me deeply, his hands all over my body and mine on his.
He pushed my dress down my shoulders, his lips never breaking contact with my skin. My breath hitched as he carefully cradled a breast in his large, warm hands. His hot mouth on the sensitive peak made a soft moan escape my lips. We were pushing further than we had before.
He swirled his tongue over the sensitive bud, sucking and kissing as he gently cupped my other exposed breast. Tingles ebbed through me as he moved a hand to my thigh beneath my silk dress. In a matter of moments, his hand was trailing against the delicate material of my panties.
“Can I touch you?” he whispered hoarsely against the shell of my ear.
I clamped my eyelids closed tightly, trying to calm my breathing. Calix was the only one to ever touch me there. But he was gone now. This was my new life.
I nodded wordlessly, only because I knew the words wouldn’t come. The first warm, gentle touch of Kellin’s fingers on my heat had my breath coming in short gasps. He ran his finger up my wet slit for a moment before dipping his finger into the hot depths.
I gripped his shoulders as he inserted a finger into my tight channel.
“Relax,” he murmured against my lips. “I won’t hurt you, Ana.”
I trembled in his arms as he moved his finger in and out before adding another one. My breath leaked out of me in short, sharp gasps, a hot tingle building within me.
Knowing I couldn’t very well keep just lying there, I reached out and tentatively rubbed my hand against the bulge in his trousers. He let out an appreciative moan at my touch which helped my bravery.
After fumbling with his buttons, I was finally able to free him from his threaded prison. I ran my hand up and down his velvety length, having no clue what I was doing. The way he breathed made me think I was doing something right though. I matched pace with his fingers as they dove deeper into me.
“Ana,” he groaned against my lips, his breathing harsh as his length thickened in my grip. “Please. Do this with me.”
I knew he wanted me to let go and enjoy what he was offering. I wanted to so much.
I continued matching tempo with him, our mouths fused together as our tongues tangled. The tingles in my core grew, igniting euphoria within me until I was at the peak. He moved his fingers faster, his thumb rubbing hot circles around my sensitive bundle of nerves.
With a moan, I let go, letting the pleasure from his touch wash over me,
