"If you're trying to scare me, it's working," I said, attempting to sound casual despite my racing pulse.
A low, rumbling chuckle sounded from behind a heavy velvet curtain, unmistakably Kai's. I moved toward it, but as I reached for the fabric, a rush of cold air swept past me, carrying Faris's familiar scent—a hint of cherries and something metallic. He had used his supernatural speed to circle me.
"That's cheating, Baby Fang," I called out, turning in a slow circle.
The lights dimmed further until I could barely make out the contours of the furniture. I took a cautious step backward and bumped into something solid and warm. Before I could react, strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
"Found you," Cam's deep voice murmured against my ear.
I shivered involuntarily. "I wasn't hiding."
"No," he agreed, his hands sliding over the silky fabric of my dress. "But the night is young, little witch."
Just as quickly as he'd captured me, he released me and disappeared into the shadows. I spun around, disoriented by his sudden absence.
"What exactly are the rules here?" I asked the darkness as I stopped in front of an antique mirror. I quickly pulled my hair back into a ponytail. I was already heating up, and we hadn't even begun yet.
I squealed, grabbing my chest and spinning around when a face appeared in the reflection right behind me. A ghost face mask, maw open in a silent scream.
"Run," came Sloane's gravelly voice from behind the mask, the single word making my stomach flip with anticipation.
A theatrical fog began rolling across the floor, curling around my ankles like ghostly hands.
"And when you find me?" I challenged, backing toward what looked like a narrow hallway.
Another figure stepped partially out of the shadows, wearing a matching mask. My heart was now thundering in my chest, adrenaline starting to rise. I shifted, allowing my thighs to rub together, noting the way I was already wet with arousal. The masked figure inhaled deeply and growled. "WhenIfind you, Goldie,I'mgoing to taste that fuckin' pussy."
Bram never made threats he didn't follow through on.
My back hit the wall, and I realized I'd run out of space. Or so I thought, until my hand brushed against what felt like a hidden door panel. Without hesitation, I pushed it open and slipped through, finding myself in a dimly lit corridor lined with doors.
Behind me, I heard Faris's delighted laugh. "The game begins! One... two... three..."
I didn't wait for him to finish counting. I slammed the door shut, and I ran.
Chapter 11
Faris
Icaught Bram off guard as he turned to follow Saige. Moving with vampire speed, I had him pinned against the wall before he could blink, his ghost mask still covering his face. The surprised grunt that escaped him was music to my ears.
"Hold on there, lover," I purred, pressing my body against his. Even through our costumes, I could feel the heat radiating from him.
"Faris," he growled, that deep rumble in his chest making my fangs ache. "Don't call me that."
I leaned in close, my ghost mask nearly touching his. "I can't help it when you talk to our little witch like that. That promise you made her? Fuck me, that was hot."
His whole body was practically vibrating with desire. "We need to go after her."
"She'll be fine for a minute," I insisted, sliding my hand down between us to feel him through his costume. "Besides, it seems like someone else needs attention." I gave him a squeeze, delighting in his sharp intake of breath. He was already hard. "Ican't wait to fuck Saige, but unholy stars above, I want that big dick, too."
"You're greedy," Bram said, his voice dropping to that sinful octave that made my dead heart race. "Always have been."
"Guilty," I admitted, grinding against him.
His hands gripped my hips, pulling me impossibly closer. My cock was already primed and ready to fuckin' rock n' roll. Had been since I woke up this morning.
"You're playing with fire, Baby Fang," Bram growled as I rolled my hips, rubbing our cocks together.
