Page 9 of The Konungr Takes a Mate
Chapter Five
Though she was exhausted, both from work and the run through the city, Summer forced her eyes to stay open in order to catalog and admire Fenrir’s body.
And what a body it was.
He would have looked too tall, except his broad shoulders, thick, tree-trunk-like legs, and the rest of his body were in perfect proportion.Including a hard cock that looked too big to be natural.His skin was pale, but that could be from avoiding the sun, or from his Norwegian heritage.
She’d been impressed moments ago by his size and strength while he’d been fully clothed.Without them, he had her pussy growing wet while her clit and nipples stiffened, begging to be touched, licked, whatever he wanted to do to them.
For the first time in weeks, she no longer felt exhausted.
When he turned to her with a soapy washcloth, she froze and dropped her eyes to the floor as she swayed with exhaustion.
“Like what you see, sweetness?”he asked as he began stroking the washcloth over her skin.
“Um, yes,” she whispered, as the washcloth quickly swiped over her shoulders, arms, back.
He was moving so fast she could hardly follow the movement, other than to recognize the nerves he left tingling in its wake.It wasn’t long before he eased her under the falling water to rinse off.
Once the soap had slipped down her body to circle the drain, he quickly rinsed and then guided her out of the shower.In minutes, he’d dried her and was pulling a t-shirt over her head.It was too big but was soft and covered her from neckline to midthigh.
As she watched him dry off and pull on a pair of boxer shorts, she took a deep breath.As she released it, she could feel her energy flow out of her toes, leaving her even more tired than before.
Fenrir studied her face for a second before sweeping her into his arms again.
“Whee,” she said as he carried her into the bedroom.She waved one arm in the air as if riding a bucking bull.
“Hold on,” he said when they reached the side of the bed.
Reacting automatically, she locked her hands together behind his neck before crying, “What’s happening?”
Fenrir bent and pulled the covers down before setting her down.“Shh, sweet Summer.Nothing’s happening.Go to sleep and we’ll take care of everything else in the morning.”
His voice was soothing and she rolled over, curling into her normal sleeping position.She took a deep breath and smiled as Fenrir’s scent filled her lungs.He smoothed the covers over her before dropping a kiss on her temple.
“Give me a hand,” he said, his tone gentle but with a thread of steel in it.
She pushed one arm out of the covers and smiled when he took it into his.He kissed her palm and each of her fingertips starting with her thumb.She giggled as he repeated the cycle with more kisses.The third round was made with a small lick to each place, ending with a sharp prick to the pad of her pinkie.
“Oww!”she cried, opening her eyes to glare up at him.“You bit me.”
Fenrir did not respond to her accusation.She watched as he squeezed the sides of her finger, causing blood to well out of the injury.He then dragged his tongue up the full length of the digit, swiping up the blood he’d expressed from her body.
He made a humming purr as he seemed to save it before swallowing.“Delicious.”
He licked her finger again, and the lingering hurt from the prick slid away as if it had never been.After dropping one last kiss on the spot he’d injured, Fenrir gently tucked her arm back under the covers.He then leaned over until they were nose to nose and looked deep into her eyes.
“Sleep, my sweet mate.Close your eyes and rest.”
His voice sounded funny, deeper and more powerful than normal, but her body obeyed his instructions before her mind could question them.For the first time since moving to New York City, Summer did not stay awake for hours worrying about money, her future, or whether she’d made a mistake coming to the city.

With the taste of hismate’s blood fresh on his tongue, Fenrir left the bedroom.He was tempted to join her in the bed, but the scent of her arousal was too strong, pulling at his cock to take the next step in claiming his mate.And it was too soon for that.
