Grace of a Wolf by Lenaleia

Chapter 189: Grace: Oh My Goddess

The sound of my harsh breathing is all I can hear after I squeeze my eyes shut and try not to think about how I desperately need to change my underwear.

And how the washcloth will actually need to be used for its proper purpose.

And how I’m really, really hoping Andrew’s dead fucking asleep, because if he isn’t, he fucking knows what happened in here and I. Am. Mortified.

Horny Grace has already gotten what she wanted—well, to an extent—and has fled in the face of rational, calm, normal, oh-my-Goddess-what-did-we-do Grace.

Caine’s warmth disappears from my back, and the wicked washcloth suddenly starts wiping down my thighs with a more clinical touch.

My body doesn’t care what his intentions are, because it gets all sparky and ready for round two, but I shove down all those embarrassing thought processes before they get started, realizing I’m a little... dizzy.

Cloth barrier or not, there was still some energy transferring. And it definitely got more intense toward the end. And... I’d told myself I was going to focus on it and didn’t.

Not even a little bit.

I was rather... preoccupied.

Caine taps against my knee, and each one sends a flush of arcana his way, not that he seems aware of it at all.

Obediently lowering my leg and straightening so I’m a little less wanton, I crack my eyes open and peer over my shoulder.

He’s kneeling behind me, looking focused and calm as he wipes what I’m pretending is water, okay, water, off my legs.

Then the floor.

And then he stands, and my eyes are now wide, wide open as they stare directly at his crotch.

Horny Grace got what she wanted. She did. And she definitely shouldn’t throw a fit over it, because Caine’s little friend—scratch that, his very large, very obvious friend—did not get the same treatment.
