Kaden's mouth met my skin and I sank into his touch, eyes fluttering shut as I remembered how good it felt to be his. His breath was hot against my neck, sending shivers down my spine, and each soft, slow kiss felt like atonement. He kneaded the muscles in my shoulders and back, massaging out the stress there, and I found myself letting out a soft moan in response.

Without thinking, I turned in his arms and dragged his mouth to mine. I'd been thinking way too much lately. All I wanted was to feel.

Kaden groaned and pressed against me, deepening the kiss. It was like taking a drink of water after a long hike, satiating a part of myself I hadn’t realized was so thirsty. His hands scoured down my body and my back hit the wall as a desperate need took over both of us.

But then I remembered the last time I'd felt like this, and how he'd used my lust to manipulate me. That might have been the Sun Witches, but how could I be sure?

I turned my face to the side, gasping for air. "Kaden, I don't know if I can do this."

He pressed his face against my hair. "You don't have to do anything. Let me take care of you."

I wanted that so badly, but my brain still thought of when he'd f****d me in the snow and then left me to cry. "But last time..."

“This won’t be anything like last time,” Kaden said, and it sounded like a promise. "This time will be all about you."

His low voice sent desire pooling into my core. I was rapidly losing the ability to make decisions based on logic. Everything inside me was screaming to let him do whatever he wanted to me.

"Trust me." He took my chin and turned my face back to him. "The real me. The one you fell in love with. The one begging for a second chance now."

I searched his eyes and saw only desire and a need for redemption. This moment would change everything between us. Did I let him in again? Or did I keep pushing him away?

"I trust you," I whispered, as all my walls came down.

A slow, beautiful smile spread across his lips as my cocky alpha returned. He slowly and very deliberately kneeled in front of me, his eyes never once leaving mine. "As an alpha, I kneel for no one but you. I'll get down on my knees every single night if that's what it takes to win you back."

Pleasure flared inside me at his words and at seeing him in front of me like this. "I like you on your knees."

"You'll like what I have planned for you even more."

He took my boots off first, almost reverently, neatly setting them to the side. Then his hands slid up my calves and along my thighs, under my long-sleeve dress and up to my waist, where he pulled my leggings down. I arched against the wall to help him get them off, and my panties went with them.

He paused, eyes still on my face, as his hands circled my ankles. Compared to other things he'd done to me, it was nothing, yet somehow it felt more provocative than anything else. My heart beat wildly and my breath caught in my throat as I waited for what he would do next.

Kaden guided my feet wider, and then his hands caressed up my naked legs as I spread easily for him. He trailed his fingertips up the sensitive skin of my inner knee, before pressing harder into my thighs, and I gasped at the slight pressure. He kept his eyes on me as his hands slid under my dress, and I had to lean back against the wall as my body melted into his touch. I closed my eyes briefly, wondering what I’d agreed to, but then Kaden was moving his hands higher, and all thought left me completely.

He teased at the skin of my inner thighs for a few heartbeats, and when I opened my eyes, he was looking up at me like he'd never seen anything more beautiful. "I'm going to take care of you. Now and every other night you'll have me, for as long as we live."

He gripped my dress and shoved it up, and then his eyes finally broke contact as his head dipped between my thighs. His breath teased me first, and I shuddered in anticipation. Then his mouth, that perfect, sensual mouth, finally found its way home.

I cried out at the sharp pleasure of his tongue moving against my most sensitive skin, and of the feel of it sliding against me and then inside. He stroked me slowly, like he was savoring every taste, while his hands gripped my hips to hold me in place. All I could do was lean back against the wall and try not to let my legs give out from under me.

Kaden turned his attention to my swollen c**t, and I let out a shuddering breath. He ran his tongue around it a few times, teasing me, and I curled my hands into his hair, my fingers needing to grab onto something, anything. Then he flicked the tip of his tongue against me, before sucking my c**t into his mouth.

"Kaden—" I wasn't sure what I was saying. Just that I had to say his name, even if I couldn't form any other words after that. I rocked my hips toward his mouth and let out a whimper, needing more, but unable to express exactly what. Now I was the one begging, even though he was on his knees. "Please."

He released my hips and hooked one of my legs over his shoulder, giving him a better angle to fully eat me out. He kept one hand on my thigh, holding me in place, while his other hand gripped my ass, giving it a hard squeeze. Then he slid one big finger inside my p***y, while still sucking and licking my c**t.

"Yes," I cried out. He knew exactly how to get the most pleasure out of me, and though he could have made me come fast, he seemed to want to drag this out as long as possible. He slipped another finger into me and f****d me slowly with them. He was in no rush this time, like he wanted to savor every single second.
