Ihuff at Trey for putting me on the spot. Although, the entire last few minutes have been mortifying. I never expected these men to find out about each other quite so soon, or quite so bluntly. I also did not expect that Raize would be a part of this either. Is he? Jerrick thinks so and he’s the big shot with the fully working empathic powers.
Asshole.
Not really.
But…Asshole.
If I ever find out that he, or any of them, have manipulated me, I will start a war of my own that will put Anders’s to shame.
“Princess?” Trey pushes me for an answer.
“Yes, you have proven yourself to me,” I mumble, feeling ridiculous. Jerrick knows how Trey feels and yet I don’t. I’m pathetic. Seriously. I need to work on this. Advanced magick classes here I come, along with advanced ass-kicking classes. I suddenly find myself surrounded by gorgeous, muscular men that tower over me, even in my skyscraper heels. Talk about feeling inadequate.
I try to channel my mother as this must be how she feels regularly, but never lets it show. I stand up straighter and lift my chin, adopting an air that must scream confidence and that the men appreciate fiercely.
Yep, that’s my mother all right.
Just keep doing this and I’ll be okay.
One breath at a time.
“Very good,” Trey murmurs, eyeing me up in a delicious way that makes me know he wants to jump on me and ravage me. I can see it plainly. No powers needed.
He comes closer to me, then his hands are in my hair as he swoops in for a kiss that leaves me breathless. He devours my mouth with his tongue, making me moan and completely forget that we have an audience.
It’s only when I hear Jerrick growling loudly that I remember.
“Get your hands off her,” he snarls at Trey, who gives him a bland look.
“Not a chance,” he responds. “I’ve wanted to take her since the second I laid eyes on her. If you think all of you being here is going to stop me, then sorry, but not going to happen. I have no qualms about fucking in front of others.”
He turns to give me a wicked grin, almost challenging me.
I gulp, but my mouth has gone dry.
“You will not fuck her,” Jerrick says, giving Trey a rough shove away from me.
“Oh, but I will if she consents. Do you?” Trey asks me. “Do you want me to make you scream, Princess?”
“Uhm,” I splutter and dissolve back into shy, aloof me as the thought of that makes me quiver. “I’ve…” I look at Jerrick to help me out, as humiliating as that is going to be.
“She’s innocent,” Jerrick mutters. “You have to take it slowly with her.”
Trey rears back from me as if I slapped him. “Innocent?” he mumbles. “I’m…I apologize, Princess. I didn’t…” He gives me a confused look that I fully understand after the kisses we’ve shared, but that almost makes me slightly indignant.
“I’m notthatinnocent,” I snap. “Ihavehad sex. Once.”
That showstopper has made my cheeks burn as the four men gape at me and all that has unraveled in the last few seconds.
“Once?” Trey chokes out. He turns to Jerrick “With you, I presume?”
“That is correct,” Jerrick says, the note of pride in his voice making me smile.
“Sorry, Princess, but I’m failing to understand what you are thinking here?” Trey gives me a questioning look. “Are you expecting to take all of us on your second time out of the gate?”
