Our lust has been building over the course of the night, and I’m genuinely ready to take the next step.

“I’ll take her,” one of the men says, and I can’t see him anywhere. His voice is low and gravelly.

I shriek, jumping back into Topher, who grabs me and manages to keep a good grip on Phoebe in the car seat.

“Where did you come from?” I’m clasping my throat, staring at the shadowy man exiting the living room. The red socks give away which man it is. “Alex, you scared me.”

“Sorry, little butterfly,” he says, walking over to us. He takes my hand, pulling me into his arms, and presses a soft kiss to my lips.

I relax into his hold, and the warmth of Topher at my back helps the panic fade away. Alex closes the kiss off as I try to deepen it, and he steps back from me.

The loss of his touch makes me feel so cold.

“When did she last feed?” His eyes flicker between Topher and I, and he seems to be communicating something.

“Just before we left,” I say.

“Then she should be good for a little while as she naps,” Alex says. He reaches over, and Topher hands her over in the car seat.

I bite my lip, hesitating.

“Remember what we talked about?” Topher asks, gripping my chin. I nod, and he tuts at me. “No, princess, we use our words tonight. There will be no misunderstandings between us.”

Flutters appear in my core, instant arousal flooding me as I wriggle slightly to press my thighs together.

“Yes, I remember.”

“If you’re okay with it, Alex will watch her in your room, whilst we go into mine.” Topher’s eyes darken, and a delicious smirk fills his face. “But only if you want to. I’m more than happy to curl up in your bed with you and our tiny princess.”

“I want to go to your bed,” I whisper, not looking away from him, despite the blush that is surely forming on my cheeks. My lips part ever so slightly, and his thumb brushes against my bottom lip, causing a shiver to wrack my body.

“I’ve got Phoebe,” Alex says, heading up the stairs.

“Come and get me if she wakes up and wants me?” I ask, not looking away from Topher.

“I promise,” Alex says, sounding amused but also very happy. “Go enjoy yourself.”

“Let’s listen to my very wise brother,” Topher says, still not moving from the hold he has on me. The eye contact seems to be building my need. I can’t look away even if I wanted to.

He’s hypnotising. So beautiful, so bold… so mine.

We listen as Alex walks up the stairs, my breathing quiet and steady, and as my bedroom door clicks, Topher grins at me, dropping his hold.

“Let’s go.”

He takes my hand in his, sparks flying between us, as my arousal builds with each step we take. We slowly creep up the stairs, my heart hammering, but nobody leaves their rooms to come and interrupt us.

Topher leads me into his and closes the door shut behind us.

It feels so final. So daunting.

“Relax,” he murmurs, dropping a kiss to my shoulder as I gaze around his room. I’ve been in here a few times but never really for more than a few minutes.

The first thing that catches my eyes is the large window on the far wall. It overlooks the side of our home and gives a good view of the forests and open land.

It’s quite dark already, despite it only being late evening in the early spring, and it casts an eerie shadow across the room.

He’s got a window seat, which has always surprised me. There’s a pair of navy curtains hanging on either side that complement the pillows that adorn it.
