he
partook freely of the willing cunt, but that was all it was. Love was reserved
for the brothers he fought with, his sister and her kin. To feel these tender
emotions interwoven with the very real physical need to sink his cock balls
deep into this kona , to make her his in the
most primal way was surreal to say the least.
“ What
are you?” she finally asked. Asger tipped her chin up
with his index finger better to see her expression.
“ Ulfr .”
She blinked and nodded.
“ I
thought so. Will you shift for me and show me your wolf?”
She worried her bottom lip as she said that, until
he pulled that flesh away and shook his head.
“ I
cannot, kona . This world … your world,
it won’t let me.”
“ Oh,
well. I guess that makes sense. You’re bad enough as, well, you.” Heat stained
her cheeks when he cocked an eyebrow at that.
“ Explain,
and stop wriggling, or…” He let his words trail off. She went as still as a
statue, when he grasped her hips and thrust his rock hard dick into her covered
ass. It was only her rapid breathing and the wetness he could smell between her
legs that told him how much she wanted him.
“ We
can’t. I mean, I won’t. This is insane. You’ll be going back soon, and I will
not be a notch on your bedpost, so, anyway.” She scrambled off his lap, bent
down to pick up the book and gave it back to him.
“ So
you best figure out how to do that. I’ll go and rustle us up something to eat.”
Before he had a chance to say anything, she’d left
him alone. Asger sighed. His mate was a complicated
woman, for sure. Besides, she was right. He needed answers, so with that in
mind he settled down to read. He would have to find out what exactly notches on
bedposts had to do with anything later.
Chapter Five
The shrill ring of her landline roused Kim out of
her absentminded stirring of the stir-fry she was preparing for their dinner.
In truth, it was finished. She just had to find the courage to walk back in her
living room, and tell her Viking warrior that it was ready. Her heart clenched
painfully at that thought. Asger wasn’t hers and
never would be.
Their conversation, brief as it had been, had made
one thing perfectly clear. He had to go back to his own time. The way his nose
had been stuck in that book ever since told her how much he yearned to be back
there. She’d seen that wistful look in his eyes often enough since he’d
recovered his strength, yet she’d put off handing him that ledger. Kim wasn’t
exactly sure why she hadn’t thrust it at him the minute she got him home.
No, be honest, you know why.
Last time she’d picked the book up, the night
before that fateful camping trip, in fact, heat had traveled up her arms, blood
had rushed in her ears, and she’d had the most awful sensation of falling,
before her sister had bundled into the room, breaking whatever spell that
blasted book had woven over her. The ledger had slipped from her fingers.
Lisa had picked it up with a smirk, berated Kim on
her odd fascination with all things Viking, and dragged her away to the
kitchen. By the time she had returned to the book and picked it up with
trembling fingers, nothing odd had happened, so she’d stored it away in the
bottom of the box.
Maybe, that had been the trigger though. Maybe she
was responsible for yanking Asger out of his time,
and… The phone stopped ringing, only to start up again. Asger appearing in the doorway, clutching that book to his wide chest with a
thoughtful expression, shook her out her maudlin thoughts.
She turned off the heat and snatched the phone off
the wall before Asger could do it. He had answered
that once with hilarious results, as it had been a cold call. His growled
monosyllables down the line had had Kim in stitches. Come to think of it, he
must have scared that particular double glazing company off for good, because
they hadn’t called again. They’d been hounding her for weeks before hand, all
because she’d
