  “Do you want to go again?” Christofer asked, at least having the decency to realize that he was dying.

  “No,” Drew said, coughing as he rolled over onto his back, “I think I’m good.”

  “Good,” Christofer said, walking away only to pause to pick up his sketch pad as he made his way out of the training room.

  “Kara?” Drew said after a few seconds.

  “Hmm?” she murmured absently as she continued to enjoy her sandwich.

  “Kill me?’ he begged, praying that she loved him enough to put him out of his misery.

  “Sure thing,” she said, clearly patronizing him as she continued to savor her sandwich.

  As long as she didn’t go for his balls, he could believe whatever he wanted, he decided as Kara absently reached down and ran her fingers through his fur, letting him know that she fucking adored him, which was always an excellent quality to have in a mate.
