The moment we stepped outside the clinic, Kaelen's hand slid possessively to the small of my back, guiding me toward his sleek black SUV with an urgency that made my heart flutter.
"Someone's in a hurry," I teased, feeling a delicious anticipation building in my core.
Kaelen's eyes glinted dangerously as he helped me into the passenger seat. "Five months, Seraphina. Five months since I've been inside you—really inside you."
My breath caught at his bluntness. "The dreamscape—"
"Was incredible," he finished, closing my door and striding quickly to the driver's side. "But nothing compares to feeling you, tasting you, being with you for real."
As he slid behind the wheel, I noticed the subtle tremor in his hands—the mighty Alpha King, undone by desire. The knowledge sent a thrill through me.
"Drive fast," I whispered.
He didn't need to be told twice. The engine roared to life, and we peeled out of the parking lot with enough force to press me back against the seat.
