So I leaned down, bringing my mouth closer to her ear.
“Angel,” I whispered, “you’ll never hear one of us tell you something and have the other say the opposite.”
Luca reached forward, his hand brushing down the slope of her back as he kissed her shoulder.
“Never,” he echoed. “We don’t split you in half.”
I cupped her jaw, tilting her face gently toward mine.
“You’re not ours to confuse,” Luca added, voice softer now. “You’reours to worship.”
My thumb slid across her lower lip, catching the moisture there.
“And you don’t belong to one of us,” I said. “You belong toboth. And we speak withone voicewhen it comes to you.”
That’s when she looked up—andGod, her eyes… wide, glassy, full of something raw and wrecking.
Her lips parted like she wanted to say something. But she didn’t have to.
I saw it.
Therelease.
Theknowing.
“Good girl,” I murmured. “Now come here?—”
I let my hand drift down the column of her throat. Not pressing. Just feeling.
“Slowerthis time. Show me how much you want it.”
She moved instantly, mouth opening again—wet and obedient and eager—like every breath she took was synced to ours.
“I can’t tell if she’s a tease or a dream,” Luca muttered, watching the way she hovered just above me, tongue still close enough to touch.
I smiled faintly, heat low in my gut. Let my palm stay steady where her pulse raced.
“A little of both,” I said.
She let out a quiet sound, and I felt it vibrate through her throat—straight into my palm.
“You feel that?” I whispered. “That pulse… that need?You don’t have to hide it.”
She looked up at me like I’d just undone her.
And maybe I had.
She took me back into her mouth—slower now, more deliberate.
We were in control, but she was choosing us again and again with every breath.
I let my head fall back, hips held still with iron restraint, every part of me focused on how soft and wet andperfectshe felt.
“That’s it, baby.Good fucking girl.You’re doing so well…”
She made a sound that might’ve been a moan—or maybe it was mine—and I felt the start of heat crawl down my spine.
Too soon.Too much.
