“Immediately,” Kain adds, a warning glint to his light iris. “They know not to fuck with what’s mine, but their tiny fucking brains tend to stop working after a couple of drinks. I promise to keep you safe, Lillith. But I can only do that if I know what’s happening. Agreed?”
I nod, trying not to swoon at the fact he just referred to me as his. I love it when he does that; it makes me feel like I really belong somewhere. Like I’m home.
“I’ll be good. I promise.” I reach up on my tiptoes to kiss his stubbled jaw. “Can we go in now? Pretty please?”
Kain’s chest vibrates with a low growl, and he wraps an arm possessively around my back. “Let’s go,” he murmurs, leading me inside with a hand glued to the small of my back.
The sharp tang of motor oil and liquor assaults me as soon as I step inside the club. Club members and women in various states of undress move on the dance floor to the tune of some sultry rock song. The sight causes something to stir in my core, and I instinctually press further into Kain’s side.
“You say the word, and we’re gone.”
With a jolt, I look up to see Kain staring at me. The tenderness in his gaze makes my heart constrict, and I force my shoulders back. He’s worried for me, and that’s exactly why I have to be brave. The second I show weakness, he’ll whisk me back to the woods.
“I’m fine,” I say, reaching up to palm his stubbled cheek. “I could use a drink, though.”
He nods, leading me toward the bar with one hand on the small of my back. His eyes scan the crowd with a predatory sheen, glaring down at anyone who so much as glances at me.
“You know, you’re going to make every guy in here shit himself if you keep doing that.”
“Good,” he growls, pulling me tight to his side. “What do you want?”
“Um…” I stare at the wall of liquor with trepidation. “Whiskey?”
He raises a brow, shrugs, then turns to the bartender and holds up two fingers. “Two doubles.”
Once we have drinks, Kain leads me to the corner with a semi-circle of leather armchairs. I’m about to take the seat next to him when he grabs my arm and hauls me onto his lap.
“Kain!” I squeal, trying to keep my drink from spilling all over him. “What the hell?”
“You smell so good, little flower,” Kain groans, ignoring my question as he nuzzles the side of my neck. “Good enough to eat.” I let out a hiss as his teeth dig in, trying not to notice the crowd staring at us.
“Kain,” I whimper, shifting in his lap. “They’re watching us.”
“Good.” His tongue lashes out. “I want them to see that you’re mine.” His palm finds my inner thigh, and I close my eyes as he works his way to my core. “There’s a reason you weren’t allowed to wear anything under this dress, Lillith.”
“Need any help?”
My eyes fly open to the sight of Carlotta’s suggestive grin, and heat creeps up the back of my neck. My thighs squeeze closed on Kain’s hand, attempting to stop him from going any farther.
“As a matter of fact, no.” I can’t see the look on his face, but his tone is anything but amused. “Open your fucking legs.”
It takes me a moment to realize he’s talking to me, and Carlotta’s smirk widens as my body obeys.
“She’s so submissive. Are you sure she can’t play?” Her tongue wets her lower lip as she trails over my curves. “I could even let you watch her come on my tongue.”
“You’re so fucking full of it.” Kain’s tone is an eye roll. “Don’t you have anyone else to bother?”
“Not anyone near as interesting, but I’ll manage.” Her eyes twinkle as she finds my gaze. Leaning in, she plants her lips against my cheek, and I freeze as goose bumps race across my skin. She’s so… soft. Now I understand why Kain likes the sensation of my lips against his jaw.
“Enjoy yourself tonight, baby. Come find me if you get bored with this one.” She winks, and then she’s gone, swallowed by the crowd. I stare at the spot she used to be, overcome with a whirlwind of emotions I’m definitely not capable of dealing with right now.
Without thinking, I pour the contents of my glass into my mouth. The amber flame hits like nothing I’ve felt before, and tears blur my vision as I attempt to choke it down.
Instant regret.
Kain rubs my back, soothing the powerful urge to cough. “You know, if you want to feel her tongue on you, all you have to do is ask, flower.”
This time, I keel over in a fit. “W-what did you just say?”
