TORUS
Torus was surprised to feel her desire through their TET link. After the traumatic encounter with the human male who had forced his way into the bungalow and menaced her, he’d been certain she wouldn’t want anything to do with anyone male for quite some time—not even him.
Maybe it was the over-hugging that had made her want him, he speculated. His Bonding Scent was probably working overtime to draw her to him, too. It made sense that his body would want to draw her close and heal her after she’d been emotionally hurt and frightened. It was in every Kindred male’s DNA to want to protect and heal a female who had been injured in any way. And maybe what his curvy little Elite needed now was some sexual healing, he speculated.
Up until now, he’d been careful with Molly. Following their first night after she’d had the Bonding Fruit wine, there had been no excuse to touch her intimately and he didn’t want to take what he wasn’t absolutely sure she was willing to give.
The dreams he’d had of her where her ex-Mate had demanded sex whether she wanted to give it to him or not were uppermost in his mind. It seemed to Torus that he needed to let Molly be the initiator when it came to anything sexual, so he had been giving her space. But maybe now it was time to end their dry spell…
I’ll wait and let her come to me—maybe talk about things first, he decided. He wasn’t going to push her into anything she didn’t want. They could take things as slow or as fast as she desired. Though he couldn’t help thinking there were things he wanted to do with her sweet little body…things that would make her moan his name and beg for more…
