“This cut is pretty deep,” she muttered, probing the edge with her fingers. “I think you need stitches.” He bit his lip to hide his wince. He’d never had to deal with his wounds before. After a battle, he immediately made love to a woman and his wounds disappeared of their own accord. “What I need is sex.” He tried for a seductive tone, but sounded reproachful. “With you.”

She scowled, even as she tenderly dried the injury. “I’m more than willing to go get one of the other women for you.” As her words echoed between them, she pressed her lips together. A combination of rage and trepidation—that he would take her up on the offer?—flitted over her expression.

“Ah, little moonbeam. When will you learn that only you will do?”

She relaxed, her expression softening. “Yes, well, when will you learn that I don’t sleep around?”

“Have I not already explained that you are my mate? ” He did not want to listen to another of her denials, so he added,

“Your protests are silly.”

“A mate is a willing partner, right? I think we both know I ’m not willing. Nor am I your partner. Or queen. I am not a queen.”

Unable to help himself, he plucked the ends of her hair and sifted the silky strands through his fingers. He brought them to his nose and sniffed. Ah, sweet heaven. “You smell so good.”

“I can’t say the same for you.”

He didn’t take offense. “I am most definitely in need of a bath. Would you care to join me?” A quiver raked her, and she dropped the rag to the floor. “Damn it. Stop saying stuff like that.”

“Why? I want you. I am not one to deny my desires.”

“Yeah. I get that.” Bending down, she scooped up the rag and tossed it into the unlit hearth. She picked up a clean rag and scooped sand into a gaping pocket. “You do realize I’m about to put sand in an open sore, right?”

“Right.”

“And you still want me to do it?”

His brow puckered. “Of course.”

She shook her head, incredulous, then shrugged. “Whatever. It’s your infection.” But she hesitated a moment before smearing the grains into his injury.

He didn’t speak for a long while. He concentrated on her breath, gently fanning his shoulder. He concentrated on her teeth, nibbling on her lower lip. His cock grew increasingly hard.

“Desires are a natural thing, moon,” he said. “The more you deny them, the stronger they become, until they are all you can think about, all you can see.”

“Stop right there.” Her voice shook, and he knew she wasn’t unaffected by what he’d said. Her nipples were hard little points against her shirt. “Don’t try to engage me in a conversation about desires, okay? I’m not interested.” He grabbed her wrist, closing his fingers around her delicate bones with soothing finesse. Still not petting, he assured himself. He tugged her in front of him. Her gaze slid to his mouth, to his erection. A surprised gasp slipped from her.
