The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Rufus' POV:

I coaxed Crystal to open up to me as I leaned closer.

When she did, I touched her tongue with mine, hoping that it would distract her. Sure enough, I felt her slowly relax. It fed into my relief, and I, too, relaxed and gentled the kiss.

Initially, the kiss was only meant to keep her from hurting herself, but I found myself getting lost in it, wanting more, wanting it always...

My heart was pumping furiously, and I felt hot all over. This was the first time I had ever kissed a she-wolf. It wasn't as bad as I thought.

I was pulled out of my musings by a sharp sting at the tip of my tongue. Crystal had bitten me.

I pulled back and flicked my tongue against the roof of my mouth. Instead of being dissuaded, the metallic taste only seemed to urge me on. I tightened my hands around her wrist and went in for another deep kiss.

Before long, I was on the bed with her, burrowing as close as I could get against her body. I didn't want to be apart from her for even one second. Now and then, I would pause to give ourselves a chance to breathe, but I wasn't willing to end our little entanglement just yet.
