whispered. “You are absolutely amazing. I can’t believe that you healed so perfectly.” I think that after you have had a shower and brushed your teeth you really, really should come back and hug me and then give me a kiss? I’ve been dreaming of your kiss.”
    Growling softly at her, he snapped his teeth. “I’m also hungry, so be aware I may just start to nibble a little.” Pressing a kiss to her neck, he moved past her toward the bathroom. “Did Allister leave me any clothing?” he asked over his shoulder as he stepped into the bathroom and took a look at the remaining damage. Not too bad, a few bruises still fading, and overall he felt pretty good, if a bit stiff.
    “He did,” she told him as she watched him walking, moving to follow him then. “I will get them if you would like,” she said and leaned against the wall. “While you are cleaning up I will fix us a meal so that you don’t feel the need to nibble on me, Aiden.”
    “I will still nibble, darling,” he assured her, looking over his shoulder to her. Grinning, he eyed her up. “You are a very delectable treat, sweetness, and I very definitely want to take a bite out of you,” he teased. Grabbing a toothbrush, he put on some paste and, leaning into the sink, began to scrub.
    While he was cleaning up she went to the kitchen, calling out, “I really hope that pot roast and potatoes sounds good. Allister said that you would need a great deal of protein, so it seemed like a good idea.”
    Spitting, he rinsed his mouth. “Meat is good, always good actually,” he called to her before he eased the door shut a bit. Dropping the scrub pants that had bits of blood dried on them from before his change, he stepped into the shower. Yanking the taps on high, he let out a breath. Gods, it felt nice to finally be able to actually have a bloody shower. Scrubbing his hair, he gave the rest of him a hell of a scrub, too, and found out where a few still not entirely healed bits were. Climbing out after a time, he checked his back in the mirror. Yep, those were going to leave some marks.
    Lina knocked on the door a couple minutes later. “Are you all right?” she asked softly. “I felt a wave of hurt from you, love. You okay? I’m worried for you, darling.”
    Turning his head, he smiled and pulled the door open more. “I’m good. I was just getting a look at what still needs to heal.” And what likely never would. Shifting to lean against the doorjamb, he picked up her hand and pulled her in closer to him. “I’m all fresh and clean,” he murmured. “Do I get a kiss now?” he teased with a grin.
    “Oh, yes please,” she said with a smile and leaned in closer to him. Placing her hand on his bare chest, she popped up on her tiptoes and lifted her face to him. “Kiss me,” she whispered and tried to brush her lips to his again, desperate for a kiss.
    Wrapping an arm around her, Aiden pulled her in closer and kissed her slowly. Using his other hand, he cupped her face to tip her head just right. Taking the kiss deeper, he slid his tongue to hers as he tasted her. She was divine, rich of flavor, and all his. Shifting, he pressed her to the vanity and then lifted her up to sit on the edge before moving in closer.
    Lina wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him in even closer, tighter. She kissed him with everything that she had inside of her, pulling his taste deep into her soul and then when they parted she said, “More.” God, she wasn’t ready to stop, at all.
    He slid his hands down her body slowly and inched them under her shirt. Brushing his fingers over her soft skin, he pressed a hand to her back, spreading his fingers wide. With his other hand he rubbed the backs of his fingers to her belly gently. “Soft,” he murmured quietly.
    “And you are so very, very hard.” She all but purred when she let her hands teasingly trail over his naked chest and shoulders. “I will never get enough of touching you, never.” Which scared the
