In His Keeping (Slow Burn #2) (46 page)
“You think you can live with my powers?” she asked quietly.
He went still and then leaned back just enough that he could see her face. With his fingertips, he nudged her chin up so her gaze connected with his.
“I love you, Ari. Everything that makes you who you are. Everything about you. And if you come equipped to ward off an entire third-world nation’s army then I guess I won’t ever have to worry about getting my ass handed to me.”
Her eyes sparkled in the low light of the hospital room as she reached up to trace her fingers down his jawline.
“Having this cast on sucks,” she said huskily. “But I guess it’ll make our eventual wedding night all the more sweeter.”
“Honey, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but after six weeks with you and no sex my balls will be so blue that I give myself thirty seconds tops inside you before I have the mother of all premature ejaculations.”
She leaned up to nibble on his chin, eliciting a soft rumbling groan from his chest.
“My cast may knock me out of the orgasm game awhile, but I don’t see why you should suffer. There’s nothing wrong with my hands—or my mouth,” she finished with a throaty purr.
“Have mercy,” he rasped. “You’re killing me here, honey.”
“Mercy?” She laughed. “I can assure you, Beau. Mercy is the very last thing you’ll want from me over the next several weeks.”
Damn if she didn’t prove to be right about that.
