He nodded, setting the poker down and turning toward me. "Yes. That is right."
I trailed my finger down his chest.
Lifting a piece of fruit off the platter, he held it to my lips. "You turn me on so much, but aren't you sore?"
My eyes lazily made their way back up to his. “Yes. I am.” Despite this, I wrapped my legs around his waist. “So?”
He ran his hands down my thighs, synching my legs tighter around him. His movement causing me to fall back and giggle. “Should you not rest?”
I leaned up and kissed his chest, whispering, my breath brushing against him. “For now, show me how much I turn you on.”
Without hesitation, he growled low and hungry as he gripped my hips. There was no sensual kissing. No soft caresses. He thrust in and fucked me proper, not holding back. His cock gliding in and out at nearly full force.
“Yes!” I hissed through my teeth. He was claiming me, and I was letting him. And there was nothing I wanted more in that moment.
I called out in both pain and pleasure, holding onto him tightly. The force of him felt like I could break… would break, but I couldn’t stop him. Nor did I want to.
His hands gripped me, his cock slamming against my cervix over and over until, in a long, vampiric roar and show of his fangs, he came—hard. His hands pressed deep enough to leave bruises on my flesh with his nails lightly digging into my skin. Small droplets of blood pooled around his fingertips.
I screamed. Pleasure, pain, fear, excitement. Everything combined as I climaxed with him. My heart slammed in my chest hard, threatening to break through my ribs. My body shook against him. My eyes rolled as I fell back.
He caught me, pulling out and cradling me with care, taking me to the bed. He laid me back and crawled in at my side. Gently, he brushed hair out of my eyes and pulled the sheet up over us.
His lips pressed to my neck, and just as I thought he was about to feed, he spoke, his lips bushing against the soft part of my neck. “I love how I feel with you.”
I ached and was completely exhausted. The rush of the pain mixed with the wave of euphoria. My voice hoarse, I looked up at him. “That feeling is mutual. I assure you.” I winced slightly.
My show of pain startled him, and he jolted, half sitting up. “I have hurt you.”
“Water? Food? Please.” I was so weak that I stayed lying down despite wanting to be able to sit up and assure him I was fine.
He slowly pulled away from me and went to get the platter of food from earlier and poured a glass of water. He came back and curled up with me. He carefully put the water to my lips and didn’t release until I drank. Setting the water on the table next to the bed, he followed it up by handing me a piece of dried meat. “Eat.”
I took a bite and looked up at him, a slight rush of heat filled my cheeks. His care and how gentle he was being made me smile. My hand came up, and I softly caressed his cheek. “Sorry if I am too fragile. But thank you.”
"You are very welcome. Just rest now." He curled up with me close and held me.
At first, he pulled me in, but his relaxation didn’t last. He sat up quickly. “Your heart is slowing too much.”
“What?” I asked sleepily, rubbing my eyes. “Sorry. I’m just so tired. You wore me out.” I winced and grabbed my lower belly. “And a bit sore it seems.” I attempted a giggle.
"Will it pass, or should I try to get you something?" A slight panic rose in his tone.
I smiled up at him “I don’t know. I’m sure it’ll pass.” I went to sit up but slumped back against him. “Oof. Might take me a bit to get used to you.” I reached back and gently squeezed his thigh before unsteadily going to get up again to look for the water.
“Hey you. No. Lay back down.” He got up, handing me the water glass before going into the bathroom, returning with a dried plant.
I took the plant after he broke off a branch and handed it to me. “Thank you.” I pulled myself up to sit while eyeing it. “What is this?”
“It is curwood flower. If you chew it for a while, it helps with your pain. It helps you heal too.” He set the rest of the plant on the nightstand. “The Doshanesh and the humans have used it since I was a little kid.”
I wrinkled my nose. "Chew on it? Okay." I placed it between my teeth and bit down. The flavor washing over my tongue, not near as bad as I expected. I patted the bed next to me. "Thank you. Will you come back to bed and stop worrying over me?"
Kane took a seat cautiously. "I hope that helps some. Sorry for hurting you."
I wrapped my arm around him and rested my head against his shoulder. "No. Don't be sorry. That was... amazing. I'm just a fragile human compared to you." I giggled. "And I'm sorry for that. Well maybe not sorry, but you know. I wish I was stronger… less breakable."
"You were more than enough. I am very pleased with you." He kissed me lovingly.
