And I worried about aging, but not how he thought. I had never presumed I was prettiest, just one of many. My only concern now was that Sam Kage thought I was hot.

"But there will never come a time when that will be the case," he said, pressing soft kisses to the side of my neck. I leaned my head back so he could reach more of my throat.

licked by her.”
“He licks his body.”
“He does,” Hannah, our four-year-old, agreed with a nod. “Kola’s right.”
“But he doesn’t want you to do it,” I assured my daughter.
“How do you know?” Kola questioned.
I had to think.
Kola waited, squinting at me.
“Do not lick the cat! Nobody licks the cat!” Sam ordered when the silence stretched for too long.”
