Secretly, I hoped that I would wake up and Cade would be there. He’d press me back against Luca who would position me perfectly for Cade to fuck me senseless. And when he was done, Luca would shove into me from behind and repeat the process.
Dream-Cade flipped me over again and stretched me out until his chest pressed into my breasts and his mouth was inches from mine.
“What are you imagining? I can almost picture it,” he said. His words were soft, but there was no mistaking the Alpha command in them.
It was a dream - I didn’t have to answer. I pressed my hips forward, trying to resume the best part of this dream. It didn’t work.
“Just fuck me,” I whined.
Cade’s hand went to my throat, holding me still. “Tell me, and then I’ll reward you.”
I snarled. This was ridiculous. Dream-Cade should do whatever I wanted. This was my sex dream.
His hold on my neck tightened, and I gasped at the pleasure that bloomed between my thighs.
“You like my hand on your neck?” Cade asked. “Do you like me controlling your ability to breathe?”
“Mmmhmm,” I replied, my thoughts turning to mush.
“Tell me what you imagined,” he whispered, letting his lips drag across my cheek.
“I was thinking that when I wake up, I hope you’re there for real and that you give me everything I want and then Luca takes a turn too.” My cheeks flushed, which was stupid. There was no reason to be embarrassed in my own dream.
Cade’s eyes widened, his brows arching. He stayed frozen for a moment, not responding to my greedy fantasy. I wanted him to say that he could make that happen, but instead, he vanished.
One moment, Cade’s body pressed down on mine, his hand squeezing my throat while he was balls deep inside of me. A split second later, he was gone.
I threw my head back and screamed in frustration. That was the best dream of my life, and somehow, I fucked it up.
My angst woke me, and I dug my nails into my pillow. The covers were tucked in around me, and I frowned. As I moved, I felt warmth in the bed beside me, on the opposite side from where Luca slept.
I pressed my palm to the mattress, trying to feel it again, but it was impossible to tell. It could have been my body heat if I rolled in my dream. Likely, with how much dream-Cade was flipping me around and repositioning me like he owned me.
Who was I kidding? He absolutely owned me. I wouldtrade dream-Cade for real-Cade in a heartbeat.
Unable to sleep after my second middle-of-the-night wakeup, I slid from bed and padded to the armchair by his towering windows. The bedroom was lit only by starlight, and that same frosty light lit up swaying branches. My gaze went to the stars above. I lost myself in them, and at some point,I fell back asleep.
Chapter 18
Seduction
When I woke, sunlight flooded the room. I was back in bed, tucked against Luca. He must have woken up and carried me back to bed.
Despite my strange dreams, I felt oddly hopeful. Maybe it was the mate bond, but the idea of Cade was enticing. I could imagine him stretched out on Luca’s other side, or maybe sandwiching me in the middle between them.
Smiling, I nestled down into the blankets, ignoring the hungry grumble my stomach made. Luca wasn’t kidding when he said his bed was better. It was so comfortable, I could cry. Now if it just had two wolf boys instead of one. Hopefully, soon it would.
Luca was not a morning person. He grumped as he rolled out of the bed and grabbed clothing.
“Do we have to get up?” I asked.
He scowled at me. “Your stomach was growling. It’s time for breakfast.”
“Can’t we eat in bed? I liked that.”
His eyebrow arched. “We can eat in bed but it won’t be food.”
“Luca!” I tossed his pillow at him, and he grabbed it, giving me a brilliant grin. He tossed the pillow aside and set about pulling on clothes.
