Chapter 34 #2
After all, that’s what I want too. I blow out my breath and raise my gaze to them when they don’t leave. They all look a little pissed.
“What?” I can’t stand the silence anymore.
“You really think we’d give up that quickly?” Luke smirks and shakes his head. “We just wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine.”
I narrow my eyes at him. “Great. If that’s how you want to punish me, feel free.”
Caden chuckles, and before I can move, he wraps his arms around me and lifts me.
“Put me down,” I say quietly, not wanting to grab Mom’s attention.
“Nah, little nympho.” He carries me off to a corner of the house where there are no windows and the light from the porch doesn’t reach. He sets me down and the others crowd in around me.
My heart is already pounding, but at least they probably won’t spank me. Not here where Mom might come out at any moment.
“We definitely don’t want to miss your birthday.” Luke steps forward, backing me into the side of the house. His hand comes up and toys with a strand of my hair. The backs of his fingers skate along my cheek. A fire lights inside me.
One day and I missed this feeling.
Even though I want to cave and let them do whatever they want—within reason—to me, I also don’t want to make it easy on them to reclaim me.
“You seemed pretty cozy at lunch today. If you touched any of them, our deal—”
“Is still on, princess. You didn’t think any of us would willingly let you slip through our fingers, did you?” Luke raises his eyebrow like I should seriously question my sanity.
“Still not going to be your sex toy, Death.”
“We don’t want a toy, princess.” He leans in, and my breath catches at the rush of sparks through my veins. “We want you.”
I want to shove him away and pull him closer at the same time. Instead, we stay there locked in a battle of wills. His pale eyes locked on mine. I want his lips on mine, but I won’t be the one to cave.
“New rules, kitten.” Eli’s voice penetrates the fog trying to invade my mind. I don’t release Luke’s gaze to find Eli in the dark.
“What if I don’t want any new rules?” I arch an eyebrow at Luke, daring him.
He smiles and slides a hand around the back of my neck.
“From now on,” Luke says, “if you go radio silent on us, we will find you. No matter where you are or what you’re doing.”
“I suppose you’ll spank me?” I press my lips together. It seems to be their go-to punishment.
“Not even close, princess.” Luke closes the distance between us and kisses my jawline.
My lips part and heat rushes through me. “Then what?”
“We get to take something we want.” His eyes lift to mine again.
My brow furrows. They want me to give them my virginity, so they definitely can’t mean that. “Take something?”
“A first.” Luke’s gaze drops to my lips, and I feel a tug of desire inside. “Of our choosing. So many choices still. We’ve barely started to touch you or taste you.”
Keeping his hand on the back of my neck, he wraps an arm around my hip and grabs my ass.
“If you try to ice us out, same deal.” Luke tips my head back as his eyes lock on mine once more. “Do you understand, princess, or would you like a demonstration?”
Fuck. “I understand.”
“Good. Now be a good girl and kiss your owners good night.” Luke’s eyes sparkle in the darkness. “Then go turn on your webcam and be ready for us.”
I’m afraid of what that means, but part of me doesn’t hate having their attention back. My gaze drops to Luke’s mouth. Kiss my owners good night. Why that doesn’t make me want to smack him, I’ll never understand.
Instead, I press my lips briefly against Luke’s. That’s a good night kiss.
The others chuckle darkly, making my pulse race, and Luke shakes his head while clicking his tongue.
“Have you already forgotten how to kiss, princess?” Luke draws me in closer and lowers his head so his mouth hovers over mine. “You can do better than that. We could just take—”
I cut off his sentence with my lips against his. My hand goes into his hair and I tug on it as I open my mouth beneath his and kiss him like I’ve been dying to. I’m up on my toes. I didn’t know how addictive their kisses had become until I went without.
I like kissing. I’m pretty sure I’ll like whatever else they want to do with me, and that frightens me more than any threat they have about taking my firsts. Kissing is fine. I don’t want them to move so fast that I can’t keep up. And there’s the whole condom discussion that hasn’t come back up.
As I slide my tongue against Luke’s, I can’t contain the moan that slips from me into his mouth. I really like kissing. I’m not sure how long I kiss him, but I realize I’m going to have to go in or Mom will get worried, especially when their cars haven’t left.
I break off the kiss, and Luke’s eyes are hot pools. He smirks down at me.
“Much better, princess. See you soon.” He squeezes my ass as he steps back.
Eli steps into his spot. I don’t hesitate this time. I grab the back of his neck and push up on my toes as I bring his mouth crashing down on mine. He holds my ass as I take his mouth the way he always takes mine. Hot and ravenous.
The fire within me is raging hotter as Eli works my mouth the way he wants, dominating me until I can barely breathe. When I pull away, he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.
“Night, kitten.”
My heart settles as Jack steps into the space Eli vacated. I still feel bad for yesterday when he tried so hard to make me smile. I give him a smile now as I lean up with my hands on his chest to kiss him.
He lifts me by the waist so that it’s easier for me to explore his mouth. Tingles shoot through me as we kiss each other, taking our time rediscovering. I could spend hours kissing each of them.
I meet his dark blue eyes. I won’t apologize for the way I acted, but I am sorry I hurt him, even if he is a horseman.
“Night, sweetheart.” He gives me a soft kiss before setting me down.
Luke and Eli are already at their car, and Jack walks over to stand near Caden’s. I lift my gaze to Caden.
“Thank you for caring for me tonight.” I can at least give him that much. He didn’t have to do any of what he did, but he did it because he worried about me. I can’t ignore how that makes my insides glow.
“Any time, little nympho.”
I grin at his ridiculous pet name for me. “That’s the one you’re sticking with.”
He shrugs with a mischievous grin. “It fits.”
I shake my head and hug his neck to draw him down so I can kiss him. He meets me halfway. Our lips collide and open to each other. He lifts me by the thighs while pushing me back against the house.
Leaning into me, he grinds his hard cock between my legs, and I moan at the contact. Fuck, I missed this. I missed them. I’m so fucked right now.
Caden kisses me like he has to have me now, and I’m on fire from it. I wish I didn’t feel this physical attraction with the guys. It would make it so much easier to deny them everything.
He lifts his mouth and rests his forehead on mine. “No more being broken, little nympho.”
I nod and look up into his green eyes. I’m done playing broken, especially if it means they can just randomly do shit to me wherever I might be. That doesn’t sound like fun.
“Stay safe. Lock your doors and let me watch you tonight.” He captures my lips for another deep kiss before he lowers me back to the ground.
My knees feel weak and unsteady, but they hold me.
I walk back into the porch light and watch them load up in their cars to leave. I don’t know how to feel right now. They never released me from the pact. And now, I’m not sure I want to get away.
Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about that until tomorrow.
