Chapter 183: Part 5

Dmitri hadn't given thought to what Nikka would say when communication finally opened between them. It never occurred to him that lovemaking would consume them so thoroughly that there would be little need for words. Several hours and additional rounds of bonding later, they awoke and Nikka's stomach growled.

"I must feed you."

"Yes." She sighed against his neck and licked his skin. "You must."

He twirled her hair around his finger. "I love the sound of your voice in my mind." He gave a small tug along with a mischievous grin.

"I'm glad, because our one-sided conversations are at an end." She nipped his flesh.

Laughing, he pulled her from the bed. "Food, then afterward, you may carry on your own one-sided conversation."

"When will I get my lecture?" she asked as he placed one of his button-up shirts over her shoulders while she wiggled her arms into the sleeves. She smiled when he didn't button it, just took her hand and led her from the room.
