"So good," I said again.
I met his sky-blue eyes and grinned. He smiled back, wonderment in his expression. Gripping his hips, I encouraged him to keep going, to move a little faster.
"I don't want to hurt you," he said.
"You won't, and if you get close, I'll let you know."
"Okay." He thrust harder and I wrapped both legs around his waist. Soon we were both panting, and I was just on the verge of an orgasm.
He slowed, maybe feeling the same thing. "I want you on top, too. That looked like fun."
"It's all fun," I replied with a small laugh before grabbing his shoulders and shifting my legs until I rolled us.
Groaning as I sunk onto him at a whole different angle, I almost lost it, but I wanted Ed to last a while longer so he could experience this position.
"I'm not going to last too long," I warned him as I began to move.
His breaths came fast as he nodded. I took that to mean he was the in the same situation. I tried to get myself to slow, to enjoy this a bit longer, but my need for release built and I rocked my hips, sliding up and down his hard length, crying out each time he filled me, ready, just on the verge.
"Sofia!" he called out my name, thrusting hard into me, holding my hips as he came. I joined him as my orgasm hit me hard.
I collapsed onto Ed's chest and he held me, our hearts pounding.
"I love you, Ed."
He tightened his fingers on my back, holding me close. "I love you, Sofia."
After we cuddled for a while, I carefully slid off him. We both groaned, still sensitive.
It wouldn't be hard to get Ed going again, but we needed to get some actual rest, too, damn it. Still, I needed a few more minutes to cuddle with my wolf and I curled up next to him. He probably needed me to tell him I had enjoyed myself. It should have been obvious, but I knew Ed needed some encouragement.
"Thank you," I whispered. "That was perfect."
"Yeah." He tightened his arms around me and nuzzled my hair. "You're the best, Sofia."
"You're not so bad yourself." I put my hand on his cheek and tilted his head until I could kiss him. "We should do this again very soon."
He nodded enthusiastically, making me smile. "I think I'd even be okay with a group now," he offered.
"Only if that's what you want."
He grinned. "We'll see when we get there but I think I'll be fine. I was just nervous."
"Well, no need to be." I smiled and gave him a quick kiss.
Ed blushed.
"That was great, but it's okay to be nervous. I'm a little nervous about what Nikolai has planned for me. I'm excited to try it though, too. I trust you guys."
Ed answered with another kiss, almost convincing me we should go again just with his tongue against mine.
"We should get back, huh." He sounded a little wistful.
"Yeah. We need to rest so we can go rescue our demon." I reluctantly pulled away from Ed and cast the cleaning spell over us. It was seriously the most useful spell ever. The shower Nikolai had made us was nice, but this was more efficient, and I was ready to curl up with my pack and sleep.
"What do you think Ash will do once we set him free?" Ed asked.
"I don't know. If he can't go home, he may want to stay with us for a while. He's been a prisoner for a long time."
Ed nodded. "We should keep him, if he'll let us."
"Keep him?"
"He's kind of grown on me," Ed explained. "He could join our pack, if everyone wants him." He held me with his gaze for a moment.
I raised my eyebrows. "I, uh, had not really thought of that. I mean, I hope he will stay with us, but fully bringing him into our pack?"
"You don't have to, you know. It's just a thought. He's going to need us, I think. We certainly owe him for helping us keep you safe and I'm not saying he should join us because we owe him, but we should give him the chance at least."
"Yeah, I'm fine with that. We'll help him however we need to." That was more than fair to me.
"Good." Ed held out his hand and I slid mine into his. He blushed again but his grip was firm as we left the grove. He didn't bother with his pants either.
When we pushed back the flap on the yurt, Doc, Allan, and Nikolai were already cuddled into bed, asleep, though Doc woke up enough to glance at us. They had left room on one side and I crawled in, curling up against Doc and Ed slid under the sheets behind me, wrapping his arms around me and to some degree Doc, as well.
"We're getting up in a few hours," Doc whispered. "Allan set an alarm."
I kissed his shoulder and nuzzled into his hair. "Sounds good."
Ed drifted off quickly.
I couldn't help but turn the details of my part of the plan over in my mind again and again. So much hinged on my ability to keep up with Nikolai. If we couldn't take out Ash fast, we were screwed.
Doc took my hand in his and tucked my arm against his chest before he kissed my knuckles. "You'll do great, Sofia. Now get some rest."
He must have used some of his vampire powers on me because I drifted off quickly and didn't dream.

Sofia
We parked Doc's truck at a trailhead close to the Andersons' and got out. Nikolai muffled the sound of us closing the doors, just in case. There shouldn't be anyone awake at two in the
