CHAPTER 306
~Valerie's POV~
His fingers moved slowly between my thighs… too slowly. It was enough to tease, but not enough to satisfy the ache he was waking up in me.
A soft moan slipped past my lips, barely audible, but Kai caught it.
Of course he did.
"Gods, Val…" he whispered in a low and wrecked voice. "You're shaking."
I was. My entire body trembled under his touch, and the cool water did nothing to tame the fire burning beneath my skin. His breath was warm against my ear, his lips brushing just over the shell.
"You like when I talk dirty, huh?" he murmured. "When I tell you how bad I want you?"
I couldn't speak; I just nodded, gripping his shoulders, nails digging in a little.
Kai groaned. "That little noise you made just now… I've thought about that more times than I can admit."
My hips twitched forward of their own accord, seeking more of his touch.
