“Mocha and olive. And maybe pink, if you’d like.”
That would be her, him, and … fuck.
Nope, he was not doing this. He gripped his spell phone like a talisman and redialed his last call.
“Romano, I swear to fuck you have the worst damn timin—”
“Yeah, so I think hot stuff here is giving me a virtual blowjob.”
“You called me about that?”
“She’s not controlling it.”
Rustling on the other side of the line sounded loud in his ears. Tongues licked their way down his shaft and over his balls, and he groaned. Not. Going. To. Make. It.
“Romano? If you touch one hair on her head and she’s not willing, I’ll take your balls.”
“Hello, Zoey-who’s-not-sweet-anymore, she’s trying to seduce me, and I’m calling you. I think I deserve some brownie points.”
A mouth, hot like lava, wrapped around his balls, all while Kalinda stood to the side and sucked on the spoon of mix.
“Is her magic spilling again?”
Zoey’s voice helped put a leash on his libido long enough for him to take a whiff. Old magic, ancient even, wafted into his nostrils.
“Tell Dominic to get Zahara here. Now.”
“What’s happening to Kalinda?”
“Now, Zoey!”
He didn’t mean to yell, he really didn’t, especially when his Alpha got on the phone and the power still reached him, though it was nowhere near as strong as if he were beside him.
“You yell at my mate again and I’ll end you.”
“Kalinda needs help,” Romano coughed out.
Sexy and skillful as she was, Romano would not allow Kalinda to be used when she wasn’t aware of what she was doing. When they came together, she’d know exactly what she was dealing with and love every minute of it.
“Stand by.”
Dominic was gone, and Romano kept the island between him and Kalinda. She sucked harder on the spoon, and he clenched the granite until it cracked under the pressure. Her tongue swirled, and his wolf whimpered in need and agony. When she used the flat of her tongue to travel from the base of the spoon near her hand and all the way back to the tip, he pulverized the rock between them and lunged for her.
Heat radiated from her hot enough to rival the sun, and she rocked her hips into his. Hard and in pain, he ignored it and cupped her face in his palms.
“Kalinda, come back to me, baby. I know you’re there and this isn’t what you want. Not like this. I swear to fuck I won’t let you be taken this way. Ever. Listen to me. Follow my words back.”
She blinked, her pupils growing wider until they swallowed her eyes in darkness. He fell into that gaze—spiraling stars and exploding universes—and he remembered it.
The Chaos Realm.
Chapter Four
Cold, spiked ground wanted to eat Kalinda alive, and not in the good way. Her pulse jumped and moved, from her neck, to her hands, and even to her feet. Where was her heart? It was there somewhere, wasn’t it? Oh, there it went, jumping through the darkness, a little white rabbit rushing against time.
No, that wasn’t right.
Hmm.
