“He's dead,” I confirmed. “You did good, K.”
His hands lifted to his chest, gently brushing the sensitive skin. “Good. Wanted to kill that motherfucker for a long time. Is Sloane okay? Where is everyone?”
Sighing in frustration, I ran a hand over my face and pushed my hair back. “As of last night when I put you to bed, Bram and Faris are in the guest room. Faris took a bad hit to the head and was knocked out. Annie is back with her mother at the apartment, which is where Khol is. Sloane, Fischer, and Saige stayed in Besmet. She and Fischer refused to leave Sloane,” I explained, watching as his face went from relieved to thunderous.
“Son of a bitch,” he cursed, jumping from the bed and stalking over to his drawer in the dresser to retrieve a pair of shorts. I watched him sniff the air.
“Well?” I asked.
He shook his head. “Not back yet. Though Faris and Bram are awake.” Suddenly, Kai threw his head back and roared with laughter. Oh gods. I could only imagine what he was hearing.
“They’re two peas in a psychotic pod.” His laughter continued as he slipped his shorts up over his hips. He turned and caught me watching him. “See something interesting there, boss?”
“Kaito,” I warned, lifting a brow.
“What? It doesn't have to be weird. I sucked your cock, you loved it. What more is there to say?”
I choked. “Jesus, man.”
“Look,” he said, walking over to the bed and plopping down. “It's not really surprising that we would start exploring things. Not just us, but all of us. We're in a group relationship, for fuck's sake. Do you really expect to not have some curiosity?”
“We're doing this right now?” I asked in disbelief.
“When else should we? I want to clear the air.” Kai sighed, rolling onto his back and scratching his belly.
“Honestly, I'm just a little confused about what I'm feeling…” I trailed off. I didn't want to talk about this, not really. For some reason, it had been easy speaking with Bram about it last night, but being here now with Kai made the discussion feel so raw.
“Okay. Why?” Kai stretched out languidly. He was completely calm, as if we were discussing what socks he should buy.
“Really? How can you be so flippant about this? You sucked me off—you literally ate my cum out of our woman's pussy.” I huffed, exasperated with him.
“I’m not being flippant. I’m fine with what I did. Are you?” His brows furrowed, and a flash of insecurity drifted across his face.
I exhaled, running a hand down my face. “No.” I sighed, and then quickly continued when his face fell. “No, I mean, no. That’s not it at all.” He was staring at the ceiling now and I felt like a total asshole. “Kai,” I said pleadingly. “K, look at me, damn it.” When he gave in and turned to me, I confessed. “I liked it. A lot, okay? That surprised me. I didn't expect it to feel so…”
“Natural?” he guessed, his face regaining its normal happy glow.
I nodded. “Yeah. Natural, normal.”
“That's because it was. Itis.You know I’ve never had any opposition to sleeping with a man. If I find a person attractive and they interest me in some way, that’s what matters to me. It’s not what you’ve got under your clothes. Though you do have a really nice cock.”
Startled at his words, a laugh boomed from my chest and I launched a pillow at his grinning face. When we calmed down, I cleared my throat and asked a question that was burning a hole in my head, despite the answer I’d given Bram last night.
“Do you think Saige is okay with all of this? I mean, Fischer and Sloane came into this already fucking around…”
“Cam, she loves it. She loves us, and not only does it get her hot to watch any of us, I think she likes the idea that we love each other too. We had this bond before we met her. Yeah, we’ve added a couple of new guys, but it’s actually been seamless. She’s the center of our circle and we’re responsible for keeping that circle strong, so we can protect and care for her. If the swords defending her happen to cross at times…” He trailed off and we both laughed at his analogy.
But I understood exactly what he was saying. We were all stronger together. We would all be sharing a bed, and over time, I could definitely see where stronger emotions would inevitably come into play.
Kai shrugged. “Sprout loves it. If it feels good to us, then I don't see a problem.”
Do I? No. Not anymore.
The tension left my body, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I glanced over at Kai who was tapping a beat with his fingers against his chest. He looked so relaxed, which wasn’t really in line with his Alpha tendencies since Saige wasn’t back yet, but I guessed he must’ve sensed her safety through their bond. Otherwise, I knew he’d be flying off the handle, not lying peacefully in bed with me. My eyes trailed his forearm, noting the prominent veins there. I could see the dips of his abdominal muscles, even with him laid out flat. I swallowed thickly when I saw the bulge in his shorts, and before I could stop myself, the words flew out of my mouth.
“So, do you want me to like... fuck you?” I groaned at myself, but I needed some clarification here. How would this work?
Kai barked a laugh, pushing himself up on his elbows. “Now?” he purred, eyes flashing with heat.
