AUTHOR NOTE: There are several lengthy love scenes approaching in the story. I know some readers aren't excited about those, but these scenes are genuinely necessary for the plot of the story moving forward. So I have marked the chapter titles with an asterisk like this*. If you prefer to skip those chapters, you can just open the ones that aren't marked!

~ TARKYN ~
Tarkyn hadn't intended to start anything, but the way her breath got heavier and her hips began to bump his, suddenly he was considering.
Then his beautiful, desirable, wicked mate let her head rest back against the tree. He kissed his way down her throat and she curled her arms around his neck to hold him there as he tasted her skin. But when he brushed lips and tongue under her ear, she gave a breathless laugh and flinched, tickled.
"Tarkyn" she breathed.
