My pulse is a drumbeat inside my head.
Eli’s scent is stronger than that, his mouth is over mine. “You’re so much dark and so much light.”
“Just like her,” Dom adds, his voice ethereal.
I lick my lips, and Eli’s tongue laps over both mine and my mouth, warm and soft.
I let my knees fall to the side as he licks me.
I don’t know when it happened, how he got so close, but Dominic’s mouth presses to my shoulder cap, so similar to the way it did at Eli’s pool house. A hushed whimper leaves my lips.
Eli turns his head marginally to train his gaze on Dom, and I trace the curve of Eli’s nose in my mind.
I can feel the lingering of Dom’s kiss, the cool air from the balcony seeming to drift over my skin. Next comes Dominic’s fingers along my arm, and Eli is shifting from his knees to press against me.
He wants this.
He wants me.
He licks my mouth again, all the way to my nose, letting Dominic stay as he cuts his attention away from him.
I glance at Dom to see if he’s surprised, too.
Eli grabs my face.“Me,”he says. “Look atme.”He kisses me softly, squishing my lips together with his hand. “She always looked at him.”
My stomach flips. Dom says nothing.
My knees widen.
Dom keeps his fingers dancing over my arms, and I can feel him watching me. So close.
My tongue dances with Eli’s, and I want to touch him. I want to reach for him. I want my hands all fucking over him. My boy.Mine.
Him.
Him, him, him.
“Eli,” I whisper against his mouth when we try to breathe, but we can’t, because he’s kissing his name from my lips until he answers me, my mouth numb from his.
“What is it, baby girl?” Before I can answer, we’re together again. He’s licking me and biting me softly, and our saliva isn’t contained inside our mouths. It’s over my top lip, and on the corner of my face, and he’s all over me.
Dominic’s fingers drift over my underarm, down lower, along my side.
I think the panic is receding. The weed makes me feel loose instead. Limber. Floating. Dominic’s fingertips reach my ribs.
My muscles jump.
“I love you,” I say, even as Dominic’s lips whisper over the inside of my arm, and Eli’s punishes me for it by gripping my jaw harder.
I try to break free of his hold on my wrist, but he only laughs, suddenly cruel, against my mouth. “Oh yeah?” I feel how hard he is, but I think he’s angry, too. “Youloveme?”
“She said that to you before, too, didn’t she?” Dom’s voice sounds faraway.
“But she only ever lovedyou.”
I close my eyes. I don’t know what they’re talking about.
“I love you, Eli.” I whisper it, and I feel as if I’m drifting toward the ceiling.
