CHAPTER 22

As they walked towards the bar, he told her lightly. " You know it can't always be like this. "

She only nodded, and by now he was beginning to understand that it was Kathy's own way of being stubborn.

" What if you go to school? "

She blinked at him. " You will go to school with me. It's your school, too. "

He opened and closed his mouth, deciding wryly that now was not time to tell her it couldn't always work that way. " Never mind. We can talk about this next time. "

If it were only up to him, he wouldn't have minded one bit if Kathy stuck to his side the entire time. But it wasn't. He had to think of Kathy, and he knew he could only let this go on for so long.

Back at the table, Yuri's phone buzzed an hour later, and he frowned when he saw it was Simon Corba again. Bending his head towards Kathy, he lied. " I need to go to the men's room. " He didn't want to risk having her accidentally over hear his conversation with the doctor.

" Okay. "

But when he stood up, she did so as well.

" Kathy. "

She only stared at him, unblinking, but her body was trembling, and that was enough for him.

Yuri pushed his still-vibrating phone back into his pocket and offered her his hand. " Come with me? "

She took his hand wordlessly.

He went to the restroom, staying for a few seconds before coming out.

Wild relief flashed in her eyes before the usual serene mask fell on Kathy's face.

Wordlessly, he pulled her close to him and pressed a kiss on her forehead. " What am I going to do with you? "

Her arms wrapped around his neck. " Just don't leave me, " she whispered. " please? "

Tipping her chin up, Yuri kissed her hard. " I won't leave you. I love you. " After sending Kellion a message about not going back to their table, he took Kathy with him back to their hotel room.

" Early night for you. " He said at her puzzled look.

Her gaze was wary. " You'll have an early night, too. "

" Yes. "

When they reached their room, they changed clothes while facing each other, her gaze following his every movement. Kathy was so afraid of him leaving that his nudity didn't seem to register on her.

If only he could say the same for himself.

By the time they were done changing, he was aching like hell and wondering how he would last night. She had never refused his touch, but it felt crass as hell if he tried making love to her now.

" Yuri? "

" Yes, sweetheart? "

She offered him his toothbrush while watching him with wide, fearful eyes through the vanity mirror.

Taking it, he stood next to her, asking. " Let's brush our teeth together? " He knew he had said the right thing when she visibly relaxed.

" Okay. "

And so they did, but even so Kathy's fingers held the hem of his shirt tightly throughout.

In bed, they faced each other, her eyes still wary and her body stiff.

" You have to trust me sooner or later. You know you can't watch me the entire time. "

" I know. " Kathy's voice was unusually stilted, her fears ruining its perfect cadence. " I'm going to try. "

As was typical of the Alcolyte, rooms had been booked at the finest hotel in the area and each officer having a suite of his own. But the tension in the air obliterated the luxurious elegance of their surroundings, and in Yuri's eyes, everything was as dark and dreary as the shadows that still haunted Kathy.

Feeling a gnawing need to make her feel less terrified, he heard himself offer. " Do you want to hear a bedtime story? "

Her surprise was palpable, but her tone was cautious as she answered. " Okay. "

Great. He had only been testing, but of course Kathy would say yes. He cleared his throat. " Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was very handsome boy named... " His creativity failing him, he decided to switch his name around and finished. " Riyu. "

A soft giggle escaped her.

He took comfort from that.

" And there was a princess whose name was... "

" Icka? " (AY-KAH) Kathy guessed solemnly.

" Now, how did you know that? " He drawled, but in his mind he want to rumble her named.

She giggled again, and he found himself treasuring the sound. He would tell her bedtime stories every damn night if that was what it took to make her forget his stupid, careless mistake.

" Now, these two met when they were both children, but because Riyu's father was a very difficult man, the boy had to leave the girl temporarily. He needed to rescue his sister and take her to a faraway land where she would be safe. " He paused. " Guess what the sister's name is? "

" Liha! "

He tweaked her nose. " What a bright girl you are. "

Another giggle, and her eyes were sparkling with merriment as she asked. " What happens next? "

" Now, when the queen. The princess grandmother died, the boy went immediately to the princess kingdom so he could be there if she needed his help. "

" Did she need his help? "

He raised a brow at Kathy. " You tell me, sweetheart. Did she need his help, you think? "

Slowly, she shook her head, surprising him.

" You think the princess could live alone in her castle? "

She said quietly. " Yes. " Her gaze sought his. " But the princess wouldn't be happy. That's why she went with the boy. What she needed wasn't his help. She needed to be loved. "

" Ah. "

" And they lived happily ever after. "

Kathy gasped. " That's it? "

" Yes, because I need to kiss you now. " It was all the warning she had before he dragged her to him, his fingers fisting in her hair as he conquered her mouth. He kissed her hard and deep, but it wasn't enough, and with the way Kathy was whimpering and kissing him back feverishly, it didn't seem enough for her either.

Rolling to his back, he placed her on top of his body without breaking the kiss. His hands rushed down her body, his own jerking in acute response as he palmed her tender, swollen breasts.

" Kathy. " Wrenching his mouth off her, he lifted her up until her breast dangling over her face. Their gazes clashed, his blue eyes burning with need while hers were clouded with desire. And then he pulled one silk-clad nipple into his mouth and bit hard.

She screamed, and her hands gripped his head as he started to suck.

" Yuri. " She was rubbing herself against him, pushing her breast deeper into his mouth, and her pussy started driving his dick crazy.

He had her nightgown up her waist, her legs completely bared, when he realized what he was doing. Forcing his hands to still, he released her nipple and shook his head at her

" Kathy. " His voice was strained with barely leashed need.

" It's too soon... "

Her mouth ground down at his, taking Yuri by surprise. And then she was whispering shakily, pleadingly against his lips. " Don't stop? "

Yuri's restraint broke.

Clothes were strewn on the floor in seconds, and then Yuri and Kathy were completely naked. Seeing the way Kathy was staring wide-eyed at him, he forced himself to keep still, giving her all the time in the world to look at him or change her mind.

" It is moving again. " She slowly reached to touch it, and he groaned as her fingers wrapped around his length. And then she was moving her fingers, stroking him up and down, and Yuri knew if he allowed this to continue, he would be spent before he got to her pussy.

Yuri gasped her wrist, forcing it to keep still. " No more. " He rasped out.

" You don't like it? " She asked sadly.

He laughed hoarsely, knowing if it had been any other girl, the question would have been coy. " It's not that, sweetheart. It's because I like it too much that I have to stop you. "

" I don't understand. "

" If you make me come, I won't have the strength to make you come. "

" Oh. " Kathy chewed on her lip then said decisively. " You must take more vitamins then. I will call Doctor... "

He kissed her to shut her up, kissed her even as he laughed, and both were something he had never enjoyed with any other girl. Everyone had been to his bed had all just been nameless face and bodies to Yuri. He had wanted to relief that sex brought, and they had coveted the privileges that went with fucking an officer of the Alcolyte Triad.

But with Kathy, everything, every moment, every gasp, and every caress was special. He wished he could burn each second indelibly in his memories. The way her violet eyes clung to him, the way her lips parted in surrender, the way her slender body move sinuously against his.

He kissed his way down slowly, savoring every inch. He pressed tender kisses to her lids, and her eyes closed. He nuzzled her nose with his before moving to her ears, and she whimpered as he followed the swirls with his tongue.

" Yuri. " Her tone was filled with awe and need, and his dick was fit to explode at the mere sound of it.

He moved to her lips, nibbling them and then sucking on her lower lip hard. His tongue forayed inside her mouth, reclaiming every inch.

" I love you. "

With every kiss, he tried to convey the words that were still hard for him to say.

And it was as if she heard him, her hands cupping his face when he lifted his mouth from hers.

" I love you. " She said simply.

A vow of stark simplicity that he knew Kathryn Ice Rewis would carry to her grave.

Love was forever in Kathy's book.

" I love you. " He didn't think he would ever be worthy, but he wouldn't mind spending the rest of his life trying to earn it.

His mouth trailed down, and he spent more than a few moments exploring the tender, sensitive side of her neck. " Can I mark you? " He murmured.

" What does it mean? "

He smiled against her skin. " I'll show you. " He sucked on a spot until it was red with his kiss.

When he lifted his head, she asked breathlessly. " It's done? "

" Yes. " Blue eyes gleamed with possessive satisfaction.

" May I mark you next time, too? "

" Of course. "

" Will you teach me or should I ask...? "

" No. " His frown darkened. " I think I should make something clear. Every inch of your body is mine, " he said emphatically. " because you love me and I love you. "

" Oh. " Her eyes were wide.

" So if someone tries to touch you, or kiss you, that's a bad thing. "

She nodded solemnly. " I understand. " Her eyes narrowed. " But it will be the same for you, too. "

He grinned. In this sense, Kathy was like any other woman. " I'm all yours, sweetheart. " He looked down, his tone musing as he asked. " Now, where was I? "

" You just finished marking my neck, " she said helpfully. " like a vampire. " She added after a pause.

" Ah. Thank you for the reminder. " His shoulders rocked with silent mirth. " I'll continue from here then. " He slowly drew a line from the side of her neck to her collarbone, and his lips curved when he felt her body tremble at his touch.

Bending his head, he did the same thing again, this time with his mouth.

" Oh, Yuri. " A soft sigh as her hands settled on his shoulders.
