tore through him. Heâd never felt anything better than her tight, wet heat around him. It was all he could do not to thrust himself into her hard and furiously until he was fully sated.
But he didnât want to scare or hurt her in any way.
Holding himself up on one arm, he ran his tongue over the sensitive skin of her ear and breathed lightly into it. She shivered under him.
He smiled at that as he trailed his hand over her skin so that he could again sink his fingers down her swollen clit.
Pandora groaned at the sensation of his hand moving in time to his long, gentle strokes. No man, Arcadian or otherwise, could be more tender. She would never have believed this was possible from an animal.
Only this wasnât an animal who was holding her. He was more human than anyone sheâd ever known.
And kind. There was no pain and she wondered if he were using his powers to heighten the pleasure his touch delivered. She only wished she knew enough about her new powers to return the favor to him.
He began moving slowly against her, then faster. Faster. And faster still.
Pandora gasped at the speed of his thrusts as they continued to crescendo. Growling from the pleasure of it, she rocked her hips against his, driving him in even deeper until it was all she could do not to scream.
Dante ground his teeth as she moved in sync with him. She was exquisitely demanding. And when she came again, he laughed until the sensation of her body gripping his sent him over the edge and he too climaxed.
He roared out loud as ecstasy tore through him with waves and waves of pleasure.
She collapsed under him an instant before she rolled over onto her back.
Expecting her to attack, Dante almost leaped from the bed. But she reached one tender arm up and wrapped it around his shoulders to hold him close to her.
The smile on her face warmed his heart. âThank you,â she breathed. âItâs the first time in days that my body feels like it belongs to me again.â
He inclined his head to her, then reached down to take her small hand into his so that he could plant a kiss on her knuckles. No wonder Katagaria males took Arcadian females. It was so nice to lie like this with her.
If she were Katagaria, heâd most likely be bleeding in the aftermath of their encounter. Instead, she toyed with his hair and stroked him.
At least until she groaned.
Dante smiled in anticipation. It was her cycle heating up again.
She purred as her hand tightened in his hair and she eagerly rubbed herself against him.
His body hardened again instantly.
He was as ready for her as she was for him. The animal in him could smell her need and it answered accordingly.
This was going to be a long afternoon and he was going to relish every part of it.
And every part of her â¦

Pandora lay quietly in bed while Dante showered in her bathroom. She should be horrified by how many hours they had spent in her bed. He had bent her in more positions than she would have thought possible.
And she had loved every one of them.
He was incredible ⦠and extremely limber.
She was sated to a level that defied her imagination. Normally, a pantheress would need days for a male to satiate her.
But Dante had been so thorough, so exhausting, that she felt an incredible sense of peace.
Who would have thought it possible?
She heard the water turn off. A few seconds later, Dante returned to the bed with his hair damp and curling around his shoulders.
He was completely naked and unabashed about it. She stared in awe at that tawny body liberally dusted with short, black hairs.
âFeeling better?â she asked.
He gifted her with a smile that made her stomach flutter. âI would have felt better had you joined me for a bath.â
She blushed at that. Heâd made the offer and she had declined, though why she couldnât imagine. It wasnât like he hadnât caressed and studied every inch of
