Chapter Eleven

Aleksy didn’t have time to tell Lyra everything he’d learned from Tony. The shower had turned into an hour of more sex followed by a quick wash in tepid water. They were both weak in the knees when they left the bathroom in search of fresh clothes for him and the same ones he’d originally brought for her. He’d felt her eyes on him as they’d dressed and laughed as her thoughts came to him.

“I’ve heard we’ll have more sex during your fertile cycle,” he admitted. “I agree with you though. I’m not sure that’s possible.”

But I can’t get pregnant right now?

“Do you not want children?” he asked.

She shrugged. Eventually. Someday. But we don’t know each other yet. You rescued me from a man determined to kill me to torment a brother I didn’t know I had. I have an animal inside me that I need to…connect with so I can shift the way you do. My whole world is changing, Aleksy. The last thing I need right now is to bring another life into this chaos.

He nodded. “I need you to know something, Lyra. When the time comes, I can’t prevent you from conceiving. Only nature can decree that. We’ll go at each other until your cycle ends or you become pregnant.”

Am I wrong to hope that doesn’t happen any time soon?

“No. Of course, not. Everything you said makes perfect sense. I want time with you. Time for us to learn of one another. To find our balance together. I want you to know something, though. If and when you carry my child, I will guard you both with my life. And if something should ever happen to me, you can trust Tony. He will protect you in my stead.”

She reached out and cupped his cheek. Let’s not think about something happening to you. Besides, there are things Tony can’t take care of, things only you can do for me.

Aleksy gave a growl as he dropped his lips to hers, covering her mouth and thrusting his tongue inside. His fingers curled in her hair, the long strands like silk against his skin. He’d never thought it possible to need someone as much as he needed her. He was contemplating lying her back on the bed when her stomach rumbled. Fuck! He needed to feed her. What kind of mate was he when he couldn’t even see to her most basic needs because his dick was doing most of his thinking?

“Come on,” he said, holding out his hand. “We’ll head down to the kitchen and grab something to eat. There’s always leftovers from whatever they cooked last night, as well as sandwich stuff, soup, salad and all the staples.”

“Sorry,” she mumbled when her stomach growled again at the mention of food.

“I’m the one who should be sorry. I keep telling you to trust me, that I’ll take care of you, and here you are starving.”

She laughed. I’ve been very satisfied with how you’ve taken care of me, Aleksy.

“Don’t even think about that, or we’ll never make it out of this room,” he replied with a groan.
