To say I hated my mates right now would be an understatement.
And they knew it, too, the three of them all watching from different corners of the yard with matching expressions of amusement. Even Zephyrus smirked, his lips reminding me of the way he’d held me down last night and devoured me to within an inch of my life.
Just to stop and wake me up seconds before I exploded.
I glared at him, not caring at all that he was in headmaster mode today.
Physical Training with No Magic. Yeah, I’d show him somephysical training,all right.
That Shade and Kols had chosen to go shirtless for today’s sparring activities only added insult to injury. Because yeah, they looked good and they knew it. And while Zephyrus’s torso was covered, his arms were fully exposed in his sleeveless shirt. He made a show of stretching, his muscles bulging and inviting me to lick him.
I preferred it when I thought they all had betrayed me.
This was worse.
Much, much worse.
I was even starting to dream of some random guy with long white hair and silver-blue eyes. He at least let me come in those fantasies, which was how I knew I’d made him up. Because it hadn’t escaped my notice that his traits were the opposite of my mates’—clearly, my mind’s way of retaliating.
Tulip-burning willow stumps, I thought, glaring at the males in question.I hope you all fall into a burning thwomp.
“You okay?” Ella asked, appearing out of nowhere at my side. Or maybe she’d been there the entire time. As my focus was entirely on the eye candy across the yard, I couldn’t be sure.
“I’m fine,” I replied, my voice sharper than I intended.
“You sure? Because it sounded like you just growled at Zeph.”
“I probably did.” I’d been growling at him a lot lately.
“I thought you were getting along better,” Ella murmured. “You’ve all been studying a lot.”
“Yeah, they’re helping me with control,” I muttered.And then tormenting me in my dreams afterward.
“Come spar with me, little rose.” Shade’s voice came from my left, drawing my focus to his toned physique. The moon played off his tan skin, making me wonder what he’d look like under the heat of the sun. Gorgeous, obviously. And wicked.
I almost refused, but then a better idea entered my mind. I couldn’t be alone in my agony here because the guys hadn’t orgasmed either. Which meant they’d been teasing themselves, too. Maybe it was time I returned the favor a little.
“Okay,” I replied.
“Hey, I thought we were sparring together,” Ella cut in.
Tray scooped her up into his arms before I could comment, his lips brushing hers as he murmured, “I guess you’re all mine, El.”
She sighed. “I’m already yours, Nacht.”
“I know.” He waggled his brows at her. “How about we ditch sparring and do a little of our own physical activity back at the suite?”
“How about you do the exercises I gave you and stop trying to get laid in my class, Trayton,” Zeph deadpanned.
Tray just smiled. “I prefer my plan.”
Zeph did not share his amusement. “Put her down and start running. Ten laps.”
Ella groaned and Tray cursed.
“Okay, fifteen,” Zeph amended.
“Put me down,” Ella snapped.
