Page 29 of Angel I Am Not

My cock thickened at the thought, pressing uncomfortably against the seam of my pants and I bit back a growl. It wasn’t lost on me that I was becoming infatuated with the girl. I didn’t just want to fuck her anymore. I wanted her. I wanted the conversation. I wanted her time.

She was, in every sense of the word, a temptation.

Ari emerged from the bathroom, throwing her hands up. “Ta-da! Luc said I needed makeup.”

I nearly exploded in my pants at the sight before me. She was dressed in that skintight lavender dress that hugged every goddamn curve of her body, accentuating the same tits that I had had stuffed in my mouth just this morning.

The short lavender hem skimmed high across her thighs, leaving an expanse of golden-brown skin on display that seemed to go on forever. My eyes rose to her face, hues of purple and blue adorning her eyelids, a thick red coat of paint slathered on her lips. I readjusted myself as I stared at her, watching her approach me with a sultry sway to her hips.

My tail slipped loose before I noticed, curling once around her calf.

Ari glanced down and then back up at me, amused. “That yours?”

“Don’t start.”

She smiled wider and brushed two fingers over the tip. Heat snapped through me hard enough that my claws threatened to push through.

Luc came around the corner and stopped. “Absolutely fucking not.”

Ari blinked. “I didn’t do anything.”

“His tail is wrapped around your leg.”

“That sounds like his problem.”

I forced it loose before she could touch it again.

“Stay the fuck away from each other. We have to go to school,” Luc growled at us. I grunted and Ari sighed, groaning when Luc shoved a pair of biker gloves at her. “Wear these.”

She held them up, staring at them. “Why?”

“Because we don’t know how far this Temptation shit reaches now that Dante loosened whatever Heaven had buried in you. You touch a human and I’m not sure what’s going to happen.”

She stared at them dubiously, sliding them over her long fingers. “When I came to earth the other times, I touched people all the time. Nothing happened then.”

I stared at her and then at my brother. He seemed concerned.

“We’re not going to unpack that shit right now.” Luc shoved his hands into his pockets and looked toward the door like he was already regretting the day. “We’re going to class and you’re not going to touch anyone until we know if anything changed.”

“So you don’t know.”

“I know enough to be cautious.”

Ari made a face but kept the gloves on. “Fine.”

She looked at me again and my tail twitched behind my leg.

Luc caught it.

“No.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“You were thinking about it.”

“That’s not illegal.”

“With you two, it should be.”
