Traded To The Lycan King

"Merikh POV

My b*dy vibrates with her touch, my lycan damn near purring as her soft lips move against mine. It's like the celebration dinner all over again, my b*dy giving in where I know I should pull back, but I can't. Not t I am forever wrapped up in everything Colette.

Her hands are warm from the water as they glide up my heaving chest, wrapping around my n*ck. My b*dy shivers under her touch and I k*ss her deeper, unable to breathe the air around me, only her.

The second I pul A knock sounds at the door and ignore it. f**k them. I don't care who it is or what they

Colette who looks at me, lips parted and red. Her hair is a mess with her innocent eyes wide in shock, watching me. I tilt my head, drinking in the view. "Exquisite," I breathe. I reach out, cupping her cheek, dragging the pad of my thumb over her lips. "I will see your
