This is just insurance to reassure you that yes, I am working on Honour's Price, the next book after Blood's Price...

It
was Sleeping Fox who roused first and released her grasp on his
hands. They lay side by side, their bodies still joined. She slid her
fingertips over his features and through his loose hair, brushing the
errant strands from his blinking eyes. She was the first thing his
vision took in, and he saw the love and concern in her soft gaze.
“Did
I hurt you?” she whispered, tucking her arms in between the warmth
of their bodies.
“No,”
he kept his murmur as soft as hers and then smiled for the first time
in a very long while. “No more than I deserved, anyway.”
She
smiled warm and light, softening and smoothing the stressed features
he knew were his fault. “Well, if you would like, I can arrange for
you to be reprimanded more in this way, if it would help you feel
better punished.”
He
felt lightness in his heart and spirit return, and couldn’t help
the chuckle. “I think I’d love to have you punish me more like
this.” He propped himself up on one elbow, slid his hand down the
length of her back and hip, drawing her closer. “Matter of a fact,
I think your punishing has healed me.” He was hard again, and
pressed against her. Using his weight to press her back, he slid deep
and sighed with pleasure when she opened to him, inviting.
“You’re
not strong enough yet.” She hissed.
“I’m
better than I have been in a long while.” He smoothed the worry
from her skin and kissed a new forming protest from her lips, cupping
her bottom, he thrust a little deeper, a little stronger. The worry
in Sleeping Fox’s eyes and expression smoothed and was replaced by
molten desire. He kissed her, long and deep, trailing his lips over
her face, her jaw, her throat. “You see, I have a lot of making up
to do. I’ve made my mate suffer and I intend to repay where I’ve
wronged.” His lips found hers again, and her fingers grasped
tightly to his back, kneading the muscle, and he knew from the
stuttering sigh, and pulse of her body, that he had claimed her once
again, just as she had claimed to him.
Have a great day!!
