“Wait!” Maya hopped up, looking towards where Jordan and her mates were now talking outside. Marcellus looked stressed, and I couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing that the group of them seemed to be in the same situation that we found ourselves in. It didn’t matter how many times you had killed or fought…being in love was a far more dangerous situation.
“What’s wrong?” Atlas looked concerned.
“None of you are dressed up yet,” Maya explained, looking both concerned and upset.
Shit. I looked at Marco, who looked suddenly unsure on how to handle this, and I didn’t fucking blame him. We never did shit like this. Hell, the only reason we were celebrating Halloween was because of her. Why had none of us considered the fact that she would want us to dress up with her?
The back door opened back up as Jordan walked in and grabbed a bag off the kitchen counter, ignoring the frustration her mates seemed to still be expressing outside.
“Don’t worry!” She had clearly heard the conversation and dumped the bag on the kitchen counter, spilling out an assortment of things that had my eyes widening. “I totally thought ahead, especially because the group of them didn’t even know people dressed up for Halloween. Ridiculous.”
Marcellus and his brothers walked in, and I smirked.Yeah, right.They fucking knew people dressed up. My bet? They didn’t want their mate dressing up. Honestly, it wasn’t a bad move, and now I was wondering if we should have acted dumb about the holiday to Maya. Although watching her smile grow as she looked through the items scattered on the counter, I realized how much I loved seeing her this excited and happy.
Fuck it. I didn’t even care that we were about to be dressed up in something ridiculous. Honestly, we probably deserved this for being so insane over her costume choice.
“Oh, these are so cute!” Maya turned towards all of us, enthusiastically holding up a pair of cat ears that were fuzzy and pink. “You guys are going to be kittens just like me!”
Fuck me.
* * *
Lesson learned—Ididn’t look half bad in pink fuzzy cat ears. In fact, my own mate told me that they were ‘purrfect’ on me, before breaking into giggles at her pun. After hearing that sound, I probably would have dressed up in just about anything if she asked. It helped that she was sitting sideways on my lap, adjusting the ears while she had me hold up a mirror so I could see what they looked like.
I put down the mirror, finding Henry glaring at me from where he sat on the leather bench of the dark SUV stretch limo across from me, looking pissed. Something that was made only funnier by the ears he was currently wearing. Honestly, his reaction to Maya’s outfit had been as amusing as I’d expected, made only better by the fact that he hadn’t seen it until we were leaving the house.
Then Marco had to literally ordered him to ‘get into the fucking car’ so that he would stop trying to take our mate upstairs to either get her to change or cover up. He had finally convinced her to put on his suit jacket, but it had just made her look hotter, like she had nothing on besides that and heels. It didn’t matter, though, because the jacket was now back on Henry’s lap as Maya moved around the limo, everyone pretending to not be staring at her as we made our way downtown.
Honestly, I fucking loved that she was going mate to mate to help us with the ears because it meant that I got to watch her sweet ass bend over a bunch, revealing the pink lace boyshorts she had on under her skirt. I was pretty sure I was the only one finding it funny, because everyone else looked like they were about to lose their minds. I was just glad that Marcellus and all of them had taken a secondary car, because we didn’t need any possessiveness thrown into this situation right now.
Plus, I liked to be able to lock Maya onto my lap and run my hands along her thighs without having to worry about anyone outside of our flight seeing it. There was a partition between us and the driver, so it was literally just the group of us, and that was why I didn’t feel bad about not letting Maya get out of my lap when she finished my ears. After all, there had been a reason I’d waited to go last.
Tugging on her waist, I pulled her towards me so her legs came down on either side of my hips in a straddle, her eyes going wide in surprise at the sudden move. When she relaxed into me, I let my fingers slide further up her thighs to rest on her ass, her eyes following my hands. Her cheeks flushed as she nibbled her lip but wiggled against my cock, her eyes flaring with heat at just how hard I was underneath her.
“Sai,” Anani bit out, drawing my attention.
“I’m not doing anything!” I insisted, resting my head against Maya’s cleavage. She strung her hands through my hair in a soothing motion.
“He’s not,” Maya insisted, rocking against my cock, contrasting her words as my dragon let out a sound from my throat. I turned my head slightly, my lips brushing over her breasts, which were pushed up, the slight contact with the scar from my bite causing her to jolt as surprise coated her features. I groaned as I smelled her desire saturating the air.
“Sai.” Her voice was a bit breathy, the music changing over the speakers to a beat that was slightly louder as one of the guys started talking. Instead of joining the conversation, I moved one hand to her leg so that my thumb rested on the inside of her thigh, her pupils expanding at the tight grip of my other hand on her perfect ass.
“Stay quiet, kitten.” I brushed my lips against my mark again as a small moan came from her throat. “We don’t want the others hearing.”
I honestly couldn’t give a fuck if they did, but I could tell the idea had her growing wetter.
“What are you doing?” she whimpered as my thumb edged closer, brushing over her wet lace panties. I nearly groaned at the scent of her wrapping around me. Holy hell, the woman was like fucking kryptonite.
“Just petting this pretty pussy, nothing else,” I promised her as I circled her clit with my thumb, keeping the pressure light and teasing. I had a feeling Maya’s body was pretty keyed up, and with the way her face was flushing, I also knew that it wouldn’t take long for her to come. I wanted her to go into this night feeling absolutely fucking amazing, and I knew exactly how to do that.
My gaze met hers as I continued to circle the nerve ending, and her fingers dug into my shoulder like little claws before she emitted a small whining noise that had Henry looking over in my peripheral. I wish I could say that I gave a shit. I didn’t though. I was way too fucking focused on meeting her lips in a teasing kiss that she tried to deepen. When I quickened my pace, she let out a moan against my lips, and I felt her entire body lock up.
Her climax rushed over her body and caused her to jolt, her magic sparking in a hot flash…before she completely relaxed against me with a satisfied and content sigh.
I smirked, looking up to find Henry narrowing his eyes at me, and I offered him a bright smile in return.What?We were supposed to make our mate feel good!No one could blame me, even if I was being an antagonistic asshole.
Maya curled into me, and I pulled my finger away from her panties. Her wetness had soaked through, and I popped it in my mouth.Fucking hell.I nearly moaned at the taste of her.
“Sai,” Marco warned as I smirked, absolutely thrilled that they were pissy. It wasn’t my fault they hadn’t thought about putting Maya in their own laps.
