She ran her wet hands up his chest. “Rumor has it you’ll heal faster if your blood gets pumping.”

He grinned, gathering her hair in his hand and leaning down to kiss her luscious lips. “Are you going to heal me?” She tasted of chocolate with a hint of whiskey. Had she and Faith had a hot toddy?

“Yes.” Her eyes were a luminous green in the steamy shower. “I’m going to heal you in all sorts of ways.” Pushing up to her tip-toes, she nibbled beneath his jaw, sinking her teeth into his collarbone. Her belly brushed against his erection, and he growled, the vibrations sparking down his legs.

He yanked her head back and kissed her, pushing her against the wall and settling a knee between her legs.

She mewled and scratched his chest and abs, her small nails biting in with a force he felt to his balls. He grinned and lifted her, pinning her to the wall with his body and licking her neck to kiss the bite marks he’d left the other day. She shuddered against him.

He leaned back, looking his fill. The female truly was magnificent with desire darkening her eyes and her lips swollen and dark pink from his kiss. “This is the only way to heal,” he murmured, edging his cock between her legs.

She caressed the sides of his neck with both hands, letting him hold her aloft with both hands on her butt. “Good. I need you on the way to recovery before I head to Colorado the day after tomorrow.”

“Colorado?” He settled his hands more securely across the fleshy part of her butt.

“Yeah.” She leaned toward him and licked his nipple.

Shocks zipped through his system, and he struggled to keep his mind on the conversation. “We’re not going to Colorado.”

She gently bit his pec and then leaned back, setting her head against the stone. All of that glorious curly hair cascaded down, sliding over her shoulders and dripping more water. “I know you’re not. You can stay here and spar with Ronan to speed up the healing process. I’m just getting you started here.” She headed for the other side of his chest, and he snagged the back of her neck with one hand, sliding his other across her ass to maintain balance.

“Grace.”

She blinked and licked her lips, still looking at his other nipple. “What?”

He tightened his hold on her nape just enough to catch her attention.

She looked up, meeting his gaze. “Adare?” Her breathy tone amped up his desire.
