“All…all right.” Addie’s heart had started pounding even harder—not from fear this time, though. She could feel his hot breath against her inner thigh—it stirred the curls on her mound sending a shiver through her.
“Good girl,” he growled softly. “All right, just hold still and let me heal you, baby.”
Then he started to lick.

ADDIE
At first it hurt—a lot. Addie winced and had to force herself not to jerk away even though his tongue was warm and wet and gentle as he stroked firmly over the spider bite. But gradually, the pain began to be less sharp—it was more of a dull throbbing ache. And after Drago had been licking the bite on her inner thigh for a solid five minutes, it began to fade away. Five minutes after that, it was gone entirely.
“Oh, it doesn’t hurt anymore!” she exclaimed, looking down at the big Kindred. “Is it looking any better? Because it certainly feels better.”
“Let me see.” Drago drew back and examined the spider bite with a critical eye. After a moment, he nodded. “Yes, the bite itself is almost gone.”
“You healed me!” Addie exclaimed. She started to sit up so she could give him a hug, but one big hand slid up her chest and Drago pushed gently but firmly back down on the bed.
“Not so fast—I still have to heal the lines that were coming from the bite. I don’t want to leave a single drop of poison in your system.”
“Oh, of course not. Sorry.” Addie lay back down obediently. “Go ahead—finish healing me.”
“All right.” He started licking again, dragging his warm, wet tongue from her inner thigh all the way up, almost to her knee. Addie bit her lip—wow, the lines must have really extended far from the bite! It was a good thing Drago was able to heal her. With poison that worked this fast, she would have been in big trouble if she’d waited until morning to see a doctor.
Finally, after what felt like a long time, Drago straightened up again and looked at her.
Addie propped herself up on her elbows.
“Am I healed now?”
"Not quite." He paused as though trying to how to put what he needed to say. "The lines in the other direction—the ones going inward, towards your body…"
“What about them?” Addie’s heart started pounding again. “Oh, can’t you heal them? Please tell me you can!”
“I can, baby. I can,” he said in a soothing voice. “It’s just…well, they go pretty far inward. Can I show you with my hand?”
“Oh, uh, sure.” Addie nodded. “Please do.”
“All right. They go from here…” Drago placed one callused fingertip at the place where the bite had been. “All the way up through here.” The finger moved, tracing a line inwards until it reached her pussy…and then went even further.
Drago was gentle and his touch was light but Addie could still feel his fingertip sliding gently over the aching bud of her clit.
“Oh!” she gasped, her hips jumping involuntarily at the little spark of pleasure his light touch sent through her. “All…all the way over there?”
“Afraid so, baby.” He nodded gravely. “The question is, do you mind if I lick you there?”
Addie nibbled her lower lip again.
“I mean…I think the real question is do you mind? Not a lot of guys really enjoy, you know, licking that area."
His golden eyes flashed.
“Maybe human males don’t enjoy it. We Kindred fucking love it. There’s nothing I want more than to taste my Fated Mate—I’ve wanted it from the first minute I saw you. But I don’t want you to feel pressured or like I’m taking advantage of you.”
“No, you’re not—I know you’re not,” Addie said quickly. “And you can lick me there if you really want to. It’s just that I’m pretty sensitive and I might…might react if you, um do that.”
“Of course you’ll react—that’s fine,” Drago rumbled, stroking her thigh soothingly. “I just want you to know I’ll be licking until I’m sure all the venom is gone.”
“Do it then.” Addie nodded. “I want you to do it, Drago. I mean, I want you to heal me,” she added quickly.
His eyes flashed.
“Good girl. All right then, here we go again. Just relax.”
Addie did as he said. Sinking back onto the pillows, she tried to let her muscles go limp…but it wasn’t easy when she felt his tongue sliding from her thigh inward.
He spent some time on the crease between her thigh and her body but then he moved to the outer lips of her pussy. Addie bit back a moan as she felt him licking her there, sliding over her sensitive flesh with long, slow strokes, concentrating first on the right side and then on the left. Finally he lifted his head and she could see that his golden eyes were half-lidded in the dim room.
“Going to have to move in now, baby. Going to have to lick your sweet little clit,” he growled softly. “Can you let me do that? Are you ready to let me heal you there?”
