Xander leaned forward, looking out of the car window. “You think someone broke in?”
His voice was too casual for me. I was freaking out. I knew he was underwhelmed by the dangers of the human realm, but it didn’t mean I was so fearless. I tapped the back of my head against the headrest. “I really don’t feel like fighting tonight. I swear, I’m going to be pissed as hell if any of my stuff is wrecked or stolen.”
I opened the car door and readied myself for a fight, throwing my shoulders back. Xander jumped out as well, catching up to my stride as we climbed the steps.
I unlocked and kicked open the door, stepping right into the living room of my small row house. Spread out on the couch and loveseat around my tiny coffee table were two men. Two beautiful men.
I froze. Unable to accept what I was seeing, I burst into tears like a child. What the hell was wrong with me? I was never a crybaby before, but just looking at their faces together tore every emotion out of me. I heard Xander close the door behind me, and I dropped my purse to the floor. He had tricked me.
Yosef stood up, a slight smile on his lips. “Sweetness.”
I still couldn’t move, but I did manage to wipe the tears from my face. Not that it did much good because more tears kept coming.
Yosef tsk-tsked and walked over to me, embracing me. God, his bourbon scent was like a blanket from home. I rubbed my face into his shoulder, not caring if my makeup got smeared. My fingers clutched at him so tightly my knuckles hurt.
“Is it over?” I sniffed out. “The war is over?”
He kissed the side of my head. “Yes. We won.”
I didn’t pull away from him, but I did manage a growl. “Xander, did you know they were here?”
I felt him pat my hair gently. “Of course. They knew where to go from my past visit here, and they were waiting in front of the house when I got in earlier. We decided it would be fun to surprise you.”
“You mean I’ve been working for hours, and you two were here all that time?”
Luca walked over to us, patiently waiting for Yosef to pull away from my death grip. “We waited this long, what were a few more hours? You have weird performances playing on this television contraption Xander showed us. Something called reality TV is addictive.”
Xander chuckled. “I told you once you started watching that dating show, you wouldn’t be able to stop.”
I moved over to Luca, and he wrapped me in his large arms, big and warm. “Does this mean you can come and go between the portals now?”
“A little. They are still more stringent than they used to be, but it’s no longer closed. Gods, Lila, you smell like a tart,” he observed.
I giggled, looking up at him. “If I knew you were coming, I’d have baked a cake.”
His sea-green eyes shimmered. “There’s something else I’d rather eat.”
Xander rocked on his heels beside me. “My thoughts exactly.”
Yosef peered down at me, rubbing his chin. “I bet she tastes just as sweet as she smells,” he stated, adding his alpha purr to the bass of his voice.
Drip, drip went my kitty. “There’s only one way to find out,” I replied, giving my best innocent doe eyes.
Before I could blink, Luca had me in his arms and headed for the stairs against the right side of my open living area. He took the steps two at a time, landing on my second level in record time.
“Which way?” he asked with urgency in his voice.
I pointed to my left, leading down a short hallway to my bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. He walked us there and placed me down on the bed. Before doing anything else, he took off my tennis shoes, ever conscious about walking around with shoes on in the house. He then got on the bed, straddling me before crashing his lips into mine. He licked my skin, pushing his tongue into my mouth and devouring me. His kiss was urgent and forceful. I lifted my hips toward him, moving my hands to his crotch. He was already plenty stiff, and my lower region twitched in anticipation of having him fill me.
He pulled away from my mouth, fingers hooking under the band of my stretch pants. “I won’t be taking my time, little dragon.”
He quickly undressed me as I tried my best to do the same to him. Although, I was hardly any help.
I heard footsteps enter the room and watched, glazed-eyed, as Yosef sat at the foot of the bed and Xander sat in my plush lavender chair by my bed.
Xander licked his lips as he gazed at my naked form. “Luca, my friend, I know you are desperate to get inside her, but I just need one taste. I'll make her ready for you.”
Luca paused, considering that for a moment before he moved to the side, next to Yosef. Wasting no time, Xander slid between my legs. He spread them wide, and I shivered in anticipation. Soon, I felt the coolness of his tongue on my clit, circling it at different speeds. My toes curled, and I grasped at the bed sheets, arching my back as his silky mouth sucked on my labia.
