Again she noticed how in her mind, she had claimed them as hers. Which was slightly preposterous, given that she had yet to kiss one of them. And her incubus-induced kiss with Cam probably didn’t count either. Which meant she’d only kissed Flint, twice. Maybe she should focus on one of them for now instead of all three? But then she thought of funny Jared who tortured himself by not feeding, and Cam, who was still feeling guilty for kidnapping her.
“The cook wants to know what you want for dinner,” the blue woman asked. “We don’t know what Wardens eat.”
“We’re not Wardens,” Macey began, but Cam cut her off.
“We like our fish cooked, if that’s possible. Otherwise, we should be able to eat anything you eat.”
Macey hoped that was true. Who knew what these people here ate. She was aware that she might be a little prejudiced, but she was a kelpie and found these people calling themselves storm kelpies an insult to her people. They didn’t even have hooves.
“Cooked fish? But that takes away all the flavour,” the woman stuttered, obviously confused. “We only cook kelp to make it softer. But I will pass your wishes on to the kitchen.” With a look of disdain on her face, she left.
“How do you eat your fish?” Cam asked Macey and she grimaced.
“We don’t eat fish. Do you eat your pets?” He shook his head. “See? We don’t, either.”
“You keep fish as pets?” Jared gave her a doubtful look as if he wasn’t sure whether she was joking or not.
“Of course, I had several as a child. And a lobster named Clawy.”
Jared started laughing, but she ignored him.
“Kelpies are vegetarians, didn’t you know? I only started eating meat when I came to live on land, but even now, I don’t eat it very often. All those animals are... weird. They don’t live in water.”
Now Jared was close to choking, his face flushed.
“You’re very cute,” Flint whispered, his breath hot on her neck. He gently took her shoulders and turned her around until she was looking at him. His eyes were like smouldering coals, waiting to warm her. Or burn her, if she wasn’t careful. She knew that Flint didn’t do things halfway. If she gave herself to him, he would take all of her and more. He was intense like that. Like the fire, his element.
He bent down and gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead. Her nipples stiffened as the touch of his lips sent sparks through her body. How could one tiny kiss have that effect on her?
He cupped her face and trailed a row of soft kisses down her cheek, then her chin, ignoring her mouth. Damn that guy, teasing her like that. She shivered when he reached her throat.
“Would you two lovebirds please stop? We need to talk strategy,” Cam complained, but when Macey turned around, she could see the jealousy in his eyes. Damn, she wanted to run over to him and kiss him.
Fuck it.
She did it.
She had to stand on her toes to reach him, but he responded immediately, opening his mouth to let her in. She found his tongue with her own and gently let him know that she was here for him. Not just for Flint. For them all.
She broke the kiss and just stared into his eyes, acutely aware of both of their laboured breathing, and the weight of his hands on her hips. He wasn’t as warm as Flint was, but there was still a comfort in the strength of his touch.
“I see how it is,” Jared said, but she didn’t turn to look at him. She didn’t need to, she could hear from his voice that he was only playing. “All the kisses for Cam and Flint, and none for me?”
“Maybe if you sounded less pouty,” she suggested, pulling away from Cam so she could turn to look at him. Jared’s dark gaze bore into her, his eyes filled with lust. But this lust was different from the night before. She wasn’t sure exactly how she knew that, but she did.
He reached out and pulled Macey towards him, not too roughly, but with enough force for her to know he was claiming her. Good. She wanted them all to claim her, just like she had them. He crushed his lips to hers, passionate and sure, branding her as his own. She just hoped he’d learn to share. No way was she letting Flint and Cam go too.
She pressed her body into his, revelling in how well their bodies fit together. Thought fled, and the only thing she could focus on was the hand he’d tangled in her hair, tugging ever so slightly, and the other that held her firmly to his chest. Her nipples peaked beneath the thin material of her shirt as they rubbed against his chest. Macey moaned into his mouth, lost in the moment. Jared ended the kiss, staring down at her with promise in his eyes.
“We should go see where the fish has got to,” Flint muttered.
“Do we have to?” Cam almost whined, but Macey ignored him, only having eyes for Jared. She wanted the other two. Oh, how she wanted them, but something told her that Jared needed her the most.
“Yes, this time.” Flint’s tone dripped with promise, one she hoped he’d fulfil later. But he was right, this time wasn’t for them.
“Fine. But next time...”
“Yes, you can monopolise Macey next time,” Flint said with an unhappy side. Something inside her whinnied, pleased that he wanted her so much. But not now. Now, she only had eyes for Jared.
