And then I sucked in another breath and collapsed forward, needing his arms around me.
"I love you," he breathed, hugging me against his chest. "I will only love you like this, Nari."
"Wraythe, I - "
"Shh," he said, smoothing his hand down the back of my head. "I don't want anyone else, and I don't want you just for me. Maybe sometimes, like this, but I love you more because you love them too."
"Well - " I tried.
But he murmured contentedly, cutting me off. "You're supposed to love your guardian. It'll happen, and when it does, I need you to know that I like it. I like the way you tie us all together. I love the way you make me feel. I just love you."
"I love you too," I breathed against his chest.
"Yeah, that's my girl."
Chapter 18
Nariana
Iwoke the next morning wrapped in Wraythe's arms. I managed to slip from the bed without waking him, or so I thought. I made it to the bathroom, aware that my entire body hated me. The workout with Irila left most everything sore, and then there was the ache between my legs. I knew I was moving stiffly, but when I shuffled back to the bedroom, I found Wraythe's green eyes watching me.
"Did I hurt you?" he asked.
"No," I promised. "Irila doesn't get to say the same."
That earned me a soft smile, then he sat up. "Pretty sure the little steps aren't because you were practicing kicks."
I crawled back onto the bed. "I'm fine, Wraythe. A bit used, but I expected that. You aren't exactly a little guy."
He caught me by the waist, simultaneously pulling me closer and rolling above me. "You like it."
"Mhm," I agreed. "And I have all day today and then tomorrow to get over it." But I paused. "And I'm not going to be the only one."
"I'm fine, thanks for asking," he teased.
Playfully, I slapped his chest. "I have a dildo in the other room I'll shove up your ass if you need sympathy."
"Nope. No. I am more than happy to take care of you three all day." Then he leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to my lips. "You know, I've spent a lot of time trying to imagine what that would be like, and I had no idea."
"Sex?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, but sex withyou." He tilted his hand to brush a bit of hair away from my face. "You really like it when I forget how little you are?"
I caught the side of his face. "It makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. So, yes."
"Good." Then he pulled back, only to slide off the end of the bed and head to the bathroom.
Yep, I watched. The thick, black lines across his back didn't just mark him as a guardian. They also made him look massive, and were shaped perfectly to drag my eyes down to his ass, and then the thick thighs below. Everything about that man was amazing, in an extra-large sort of way, including his heart.
But while he did his business, I found a set of clean clothes. For a split-second, I thought about wearing some sexy lingerie, then decided against it. Today, I just wanted to be comfortable. I didn't have the energy to fight against my body, and I hoped my guys would understand. That was why I pulled out a loose shirt and the softest pants I owned. They didn't match, and I didn't care.
Wraythe put on the same thing he always wore, which seemed to be pretty standard for most guardians. The colors might change - today he was in grey and white - but the style was always the same. Jamik had explained that the goal was to have the ability to move in case it was needed, and nothing else mattered. It also happened to look really good, fitting his body enough to show off all the parts I liked.
Then we headed across the hall. I knocked on the door, overly aware of the two priests down the hall watching me. Letting out a sigh, I leaned against the frame. Wraythe reached up to rub my back gently.
Then the door opened. Talin looked at me, then Wraythe, and invited us both in. "He's, uh... moving slow," he said, meaning Eladehl.
"And you?" Wraythe asked. "Feeling ok?"
