Ravik had not stopped. If anything, he seemed more determined, licking her with deep, hungry strokes that made her thighs tremble. His hands tightened under her legs, holding her open while his tongue worked her clit in slow circles that made the glow in her arm pulse in time with the pleasure.
“It feels like what?” Severin asked, bringing her back from the pleasure.
Cassie wanted to glare at him, but she couldn’t seem to focus enough.
“Good,” she admitted, mortified. “It feels good. Like it’s connected to…to the pleasure somehow.”
“It may be,” he said. His voice had gone lower, rougher. “The bite site is probably where the viral concentration is highest. If your body is using pleasure to fight the infection, the wound may respond to the same hormone surge.”
“Can you please not talk about hormone surges while…while his mouth is on me?” she demanded breathlessly.
“Mmm, sorry, sweetheart—I’ll try to keep my theories to myself while Ravik is eating your soft little pussy,” Severin murmured in her ear.
Cassie wanted to say something back but just then, Ravik slid one thick finger carefully inside her, making her moan.
“Oh, God!” she gasped, arching her back as her body welcoming him with embarrassing eagerness. She was so wet now there was no resistance—only a deep, aching pleasure that made the frantic need inside her ease a fraction.
“Good—just open up for him,” Severin murmured. “Is it getting better?”
Cassie nodded, unable to speak for a moment because yes, the aching inside her was definitely easing. It wasn’t gone—not nearly—but it was certainly getting better.
The sharp, crawling need in her blood seemed to settle under the combined pressure of Ravik’s mouth and fingers and Severin’s hands on her breasts. It was like her body had been screaming in a language she didn’t understand and the two Kindred had finally started answering.
Ravik curled his finger and found a place inside her that made her cry out and buck her hips.
“Oh! There—right there!”
Ravik growled against her pussy and did it again.
Severin’s arms tightened around her.
“That’s it, sweetheart. Tell him what feels good. Ravik needs to know how to make you come.”
“He seems…seems to be figuring it out,” Cassie gasped.
“He’s Kindred. Pleasuring a female is our deepest instinct.”
“Well, your instincts are…are excellent,” she panted.
Ravik made a pleased sound and added a second finger carefully, stretching her.
Cassie moaned and writhed against the invading digits.
The big Beast Kindred looked up.
“Too much?” he rumbled.
“No,” she whispered. “No, it’s good.”
“I’ll go slow,” Ravik promised, lifting his mouth just long enough to speak. His lips were shiny with her honey and the sight nearly undid her. “I won’t hurt Cassie.”
“I know, baby,” she whispered, and then flushed because the endearment had slipped out before she could stop it.
Ravik’s eyes softened. Then he lowered his head again and licked her with such careful, focused devotion that tears suddenly stung Cassie’s eyes. Not because it hurt but because it didn’t.
Because it felt wonderful to know he wanted to do this. Because Severin was holding her and talking her through it like she was precious—not broken, not too old or too curvy or too much. Because her body, which she had thought was becoming a problem to be managed, was being treated like something worthy of worship.
The bite wound pulsed again, hot and bright, but this time Cassie didn’t panic. This time, she let the pulse roll through her and into the pleasure building between her thighs. It gathered there, winding tighter and tighter as Ravik’s tongue circled her clit and his fingers filled her. Severin’s fingers tugged her nipples in the same rhythm, and the three sensations braided together until Cassie couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began.
“Severin,” she gasped, reaching back blindly for him.
“I’m here.” His hand closed over hers at once. “I’ve got you.”
“Ravik—don’t stop.”
“Never,” Ravik growled against her.
The word vibrated through her clit and that was all it took—the orgasm that had been building inside her suddenly let go.
Cassie came with a cry that echoed through the mating chamber Her back arched against Severin’s chest, her thighs clamped around Ravik’s head, and her fingers twisted in Severin’s as wave after wave of pleasure crashed through her.
It was so intense that for a moment she couldn’t breathe…couldn’t think…couldn’t do anything but shake and cry out while the hot, aching need inside her finally broke.
And as she came, the bite wound blazed.
Severin swore softly behind her.
“Goddess—look at it,” she dimly heard him murmur.
Ravik groaned against her, still licking gently, coaxing every last tremor from her body. As the pleasure peaked and receded, the glow in her arm flared bright reddish-gold, then suddenly shifted. The angry color faded, softening to warm gold, then dimming until only a faint shimmer remained under the skin.
Cassie sagged back against Severin, limp and trembling. God, she’d had several orgasms since she’d come here—mostly thanks to Ravik, since the big Beast Kindred couldn’t keep his hands off her. But she’d never experienced and climax like the one she’d just had. It was both gentler and more intense than any other she’d ever felt.
