"Burn me, then," I challenged.
In a blur of movement, Bram reversed our positions, slamming me against the wall with enough force to make the picture frames rattle. His demonic strength never failed to thrill me.
"You might be faster," he growled into my ear, "but you're not stronger."
I laughed breathlessly as his hand found its way to my throat, applying just enough pressure to make my fangs descend fully.
"These ridiculous masks," he muttered, his other hand sliding down my back to grab my ass. "I want to taste you."
"Later," I promised, hooking a leg around his waist. "After we find our beautiful Queen."
Our ghost faces stared at each other, blank expressions hiding the heat behind them as we pressed together in the hallway, momentarily lost in each other.
A feminine scream pierced the air, and both of our heads snapped in that direction. "Fuck, we gotta move. I don't want to miss my shot at stalking her," Bram cursed as I dropped my leg.
"I'll see ya there, you slow ass bitch!" I shouted, tossing up a middle finger for good measure. I wished I could've seen his face. He always acted like he hated it when I did shit like that, but he was a damned liar. He loved everything about me.
I vanished in a blur of speed, leaving Bram behind as I raced through the haunted house. The place was a fucking masterpiece of horror, and I'll be honest, it was creepy as fuck. I mostly kept moving so fast just so I wouldn't have to look at any of the scary stuff too closely. My plan went sideways when my mask got stuck in some cobwebs draped from the ceiling. I wildly tried to rip the synthetic material off my mask, but then it touched my arm, and I could've gagged.Curse my sensitivities!I finally got it all off, which I'm sure didn't take half as long as it felt. Right. Back to business.
The floorboards creaked ominously under my feet, though I barely touched them as I moved. Strobe lights flickered sporadically, casting eerie shadows that danced across portraits of some dead ass fancy old people who somehow were eyeballing me.What the hell did I ever do to them?Still, best not to tempt fate. I tiptoed past their judgey eyes as fast as possible and tossed a "HA! SUCKERS!" over my shoulder as I raced away.
I paused at a fork in the corridor, listening. To my left, I could hear the distant sound of footsteps. But to my right... heavy breathing. Deep, rhythmic pants that made my fangs throb with anticipation.
Following the sound, I crept down a narrow hallway lined with mirrors that reflected my ghostly face in fragmented pieces. I looked sexy as fuck.Thank you, Talon!The breathing grew louder, more urgent. I smiled darkly when I realized who I was about to walk up on.
I rounded a dark corner and froze, watching.
There, pressed against the wall in a shadowy alcove, were Cam and Kai. Cam's massive frame had Kai pinned against the wall, his black shirt stretched tight across his muscled back. Kai's head was tilted back, facing Cam, as he groaned.
"Fuck," Cam's deep voice rumbled, his right hand buried in Kai's pants, "you feel so good."
Kai's response was a low growl that went straight to my cock. "That's what you and our girl do..."
I should've announced myself, should've made some smart-ass comment. Instead, I found myself transfixed by the sight of these two lost in each other. The alpha shifter was practically purring under the attention.
I couldn't resist. Shifting my weight deliberately, I let the floorboard beneath my feet give a long, theatricalcreeeeak.
Both their heads snapped toward me in perfect unison, like some kind of synchronized horror movie moment. Cam's hand froze where it was buried in Kai's pants.
I tilted my head slowly to the right, knowing the ghost mask made the gesture look properly unhinged. "Well, well, well," I drawled, my voice echoing slightly in the narrow corridor. "What do we have here?"
"Faris," Cam growled, though he didn't move his hand. Smart man.
"Don't mind me," I said, leaning against the doorframe with exaggerated casualness. "I was just following the heavy breathing. Thought maybe someone was having an asthma attack. You know, I've been trying to be a more responsible citizen and all that shit."
"Since when?!" Kai demanded, but I saw that little roll of the ol' hips he tried to do on the sly.
I scoffed. "Since the day I was born! Or… well, what would you even call the way in which I came to life?"
"Faris," Cam growled again, louder this time, and I gasped.
"Oh my gods, are you two actually going to fuck? Like, properly fuck? Because our beautiful little witch would lose her gods damn mind watching that show."
I couldn't see the expression on Cam's face, but I could picture it perfectly. Mostly calm and stoic, but the whole brow pinch would give away his agitation. "Are you and Bram?"
"Oh, we’ll see how everything unfolds," I said, pushing off the wall to take a step closer. Bram and I hadn't fucked yet, but that was just due to timing issues. We both wanted Saige there. Why wouldn't we? The thought of Bram fucking me while Saige watched, or even better, let me go down on her while getting fucked? Sign me up.
I was the ringleader of this chaotic night of sex and terror! It was my job to ramp this bitch up to level one million. I mentally saluted myself, understanding my assignment, and I continued to add fuel to the fire. "Saige gets so wet when she watches us do anything together. Imagine her pretty green eyes watching you claim our alpha properly. Watching Kai fall apart on your cock while she touches herself."
