‘I hate this,’ he whispers, and I nod, shuffling closer to him.
He puts his arms around me and draws me onto his chest.
‘How is Envy selling?’ I ask.
‘Really good, actually,’ he replies. ‘I’ve already deposited your quarter into an account. The info is in an envelope in the lab.’
‘And the …third party distributor?’ I ask.
‘He’s very happy with the product.’ Shade sighs. ‘At least he’s off our back for now.’
I nod against his chest. ‘What about the guy I….’Shot in the back?
‘Nothing. No mention of him at all. Blake’s boss thinks he went AWOL. He’s done it before apparently. Best outcome we could have gotten. We paid the money Sal owed, so he’ll keep his mouth shut about what happened.’
I listen to his heart for a few minutes. ‘I’m scared,’ I admit quietly.
His arms around me tighten, and so does his jaw. ‘I wish I could go with you today.’
‘Me, too,’ I whisper.
‘Me three,’ Blake says from behind me, feeling his way up my thigh as he kisses the back of my neck. ‘If the Bandervilles eventhreatento touch you, I’ll find a way to kill the fuckers. I don’t care if they catch me.’
I smile despite the way that I'm feeling. I know that saying something like that is crazy, but I like it.
Blake's fingers move forward along my thigh, towards my mound and I shift slightly, spreading my legs a little so that he can touch me the way he wants to.
Shade smirks a little, his fingers idly playing with my nipples.
‘You’re very tense,’ Blake murmurs in my ear as he kneads the back of my neck, eliciting a small moan. ‘Would you like a backrub, or to come?
‘Both?’ I ask, stretching my neck forward a little.
‘I don’t think there’s time for both. Maybe we can do one now, and one later,’ Shade murmurs.
‘Fine,’ I concede.
‘I think your fingers inside her would relax her nicely, Blake. What do you think, princess?’
I nod as Blake stops massaging my neck, instead holding me firmly as his other hand delves between my legs and begins to rub that spot that he knows so well.
While Shade kisses me softly, he pulls my leg up and over his thighs, opening me for his friend, and taking over the rubbing that Blake has started.
Two fingers ease into me, probing gently before beginning to thrust in and out.
‘Wet already.’
‘Good girl.’
He curls them forwards and my mouth opens on a moan, muffled by Shade’s mouth on mine. It doesn't take long before I'm riding the waves of pleasure, my hips undulating while Mav sleeps beside us.
I try to be quiet for his sake, turning my face into the pillow when Shade pulls back to watch me come.
Mav’s been spending a lot of time in the lab at school, working on the non-opiate, and I know he's tired.
Blake’s fingers leave me, and I hear Blake licking them as I shudder in the aftershocks of my orgasm.
Shade gives me a final kiss.
