‘I said, ‘Fuck off!’ Jayce calls angrily but comes out a few minutes later when I don’t leave, dressed in nothing but some low-slung jeans and no shirt.
He freezes in his tracks, and Jules’ half-shut eyes widen a little as she takes him in. Her tiny gasp has him across the room and on the bed next to her in less than half a second.
‘You shouldn’t be here,’ he says a little bitterly.
Her choosing the money Maddox offered over us has rankled, though I’ve tried to explain that there are things she hasn’t told us. Maybe she’s in debt with the human mob or needs to help a sick relative. I just don’t believe it’s that she’s obsessed with buying shoes or something. Maybe I did think that once, but not now. I know her, and it doesn’t make any sense.
She looks at me. ‘How did you do that?’ she breathes.
‘I didn’t do anything, baby girl,’ I murmur low.
‘I shouldn’t be here. I can’t be here!’
She tries to slide off the bed, but I take her arm to stop her.
‘Will Maddox know she’s here?’
Jayce, who hasn’t taken his eyes off her, shakes his head. ‘Not unless he saw you walk in the door. There are conjures all over this room. No sound, no scents, nothing gets out. He’ll be none the wiser so long as we shower the scents off after.’
‘After what?’ she whispers.
He lets out a feral snarl as he rolls on top of her, pinning her to the mattress. ‘Fucking guess.’
‘We can’t,’ she whispers, but she’s nowhere near as adamant as she was before.
‘We need to feed,’ I murmur in her ear. ‘You wouldn’t let us go hungry, would you, princess?’
‘What do you need me for?’ she asks a little petulantly. ‘We aren’t in the Mountain anymore. Maddox already mentioned he was planning a club visit soon for some snack time.’
Jealousy is thick in her tone, and I love it, but I also want to banish it forever. She’s not as confident as she pretends. I need to remember that.
‘They aren’t you,’ I growl in her ear. ‘I never want to feed from any female except you ever again.’
‘Aye,’ Jayce mutters, his hands running up her sides and behind her neck to unzip her dress.
I wait with bated breath, a little frustrated because I’d just rip the damn thing off her. Then I grin. This one is one of the outfitshebought for her. He wouldn’t be so careful otherwise.
He peels it away, and I watch as her body comes into view, inch by tantalizing inch. The lingerie she’s wearing is black and laced and sinful, speaking of a much more experienced woman than I know her to be.
I swallow hard as I take her in, and she makes an impatient noise that makes Jayce grin.
‘What is it that you want?’ he asks, playing with her.
‘You,’ she breathes. ‘Both of you.’
‘What do you want us to do?’ Jayce breathes.
‘Say the words,’ I murmur from her other side.
‘I want you both to … fuck me.’
Her cheeks pinken at her admission.
‘One here.’ Jayce pushes at her pussy entrance.
‘And one here,’ I finish, delving under her panties and pushing at that other orifice that I know no one’s touched when she bucks away from my exploratory probe.
‘You’ve had other firsts with her,’ Jayce growls. ‘This one’s mine.’
