KAELUS
Kaelus couldn’t sleep.
He kept feeling like he had hurt Clair in some way by telling her they couldn’t do…what they had done again. It had been ill-advised and foolish and dangerously close to an intimacy that neither of them could afford.
Then why do you want to do it again…and do even more? whispered a voice in the back of his mind.
Shut up! he told it. Clair doesn’t want another male in her life—not after the way her ex-mate cheated on her and hurt her. And I cannot Bond a woman to me—anything we started would be doomed right from the beginning.
But he couldn’t stop thinking of how beautiful her full curves were—how her heavy breasts swayed when she touched herself and how delicious her pussy honey had been.
He could still taste her salty sweetness on his lips and he wished desperately that he could take her in his arms and kiss her to share her own flavor with her.
That was impossible though and he knew it. They needed to be careful and keep their distance or they were going to ruin their current relationship—their friendship—for good.
Telling himself he wouldn’t touch her again, no matter how badly he wanted to, Kaelus finally drifted off into troubled dreams where he was running from something he desperately wanted to turn and embrace.
