Not with them
But who was I?
I had no fucking clue.
Opening my eyes, I studied the back of each man. Both had grown larger and more muscular, something I hadn’t thought possible. Anyone looking in their direction would know they could handle themselves. Their tuxes gave them an elegant and polished appearance, but when anyone looked into their eyes, only danger peered back at them.
I’d felt the impact earlier when they’d stared at me, taking in every one of my reactions. They’d done it countless times in the past. However, those instances had led to activities full of passion, desire, and dirty sex.
An ache deep in my core that had lain dormant for so long pulsed to life, and I couldn’t help but swallow to ease the dryness in my throat.
Fuck.
What the hell was I doing?
I couldn’t go there. I’d locked that box, and opening it would only lead to disaster.
“What are you thinking about so hard?” Xander asked, his dark, penetrating gaze studying me through the rearview mirror, reminding me of those nights when he’d stared at me as if he could look into the depths of my soul.
Keeping my voice as calm as possible, I responded without giving him the whole truth. “The events of my life.”
“Such as?” His lips curved slightly at the corners, and for some reason, I could not look away.
The low throbbing deep in my core grew more intense, and my nipples beaded in the confines of my gown.
“You aren’t privy to the information.” Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Theo’s fist clench on the armrest along the car’s center console.
His one tell, when agitated.
He definitely understood the undercurrent of what Xander had asked, even if he hadn’t seen my face.
My skin heated, and the thirst for everything I’d given up surged forward as if in the flood of a tsunami.
I shifted in my seat, trying to ignore the two men in the front seats of the car. However, the movement only intensified everything I craved.
The car pulled into the driveway of the Angelos compound, and in a desperate attempt to break away from the attraction between the three of us, I declared quietly, “This can’t work.”
Theo stared forward as he spoke. “We don’t have a choice. Andraius gave us his orders.”
“The three of us together is a disaster waiting to happen. People will learn about our past and what we were to each other.”
“No one but those we trust know about us, and they have kept it silent so far,” Xander countered. “And since we won’t touch you, there isn’t a problem.”
“You have all the fucking answers, don’t you?” I growled.
“That’s my job,” Xander replied.
“Your job.” I gritted my teeth and asked Theo, “Since he has all the answers, what do you do?”
“I implement all the plans.”
“I’m not a plan.” I couldn’t hide my outrage as the roaring of my drumming heartbeat in my ears grew to a deafening level.
This night needed to end.
Glancing over his shoulder, Theo chuckled darkly, making me want to deck him and kiss him. “You’re the long-term plan, Angel. Get prepared.”
“Fuck that shit. I’m not part of any of your plans. I waited for one little sign, one small clue that you two were on my side. But it never came. You left me. So, your long-term plans can go to hell.”
