Charis
The first mistake any girl would make in her heat is to lie skin-to-skin to a man who's not your mate because no amount of self-will would ever prevent you from not having sex.
First, I couldn't say no to Kael. He was still slightly drunk, and Kael's pleas always weakened my knees. I have said no to Rhett and Slater countless times, but with Kael, it was impossible.
Perhaps it was the innocence in his eyes or the naivety in the simple way he held my hands. He didn't have a lot of experience with women, but he was somehow a pro, or maybe I'd grown fond of him.
Now, I was lying on the bed with his arms wrapped around me from behind. The fabric of his bedsheets was brushing against my overheated skin. My body ached with a desperate craving I couldn't suppress.
I was supposed to take the heat suppression medication as soon as I woke up, but it had slipped my mind, and now the other one's effect had worn off, leaving my scent stronger and more intoxicating than before.
