Faster than I thought possible, he moved closer, appearing beside me. He stretched out on the bed and propped himself up with one arm.What the—?Where his shirt had been was now a pale, sculpted chest, and his muscles shone in the blue light when he moved to lean toward me. “I told you I’d enjoy devouring you, beautiful,” he said in my ear, his voice a low rasp. His lips trailed down my shoulder, the soft tips of his fangs lightly scraping against my skin, and I shuddered.
I tried to lift my hands to push him away from me, only to find my wrists were now tied above my head, the rope tight against my skin. Kade’s shirt was no longer on me, and my exposed nipples puckered in the cool air.
Opening my mouth, I tried to curse at Locke, but no words came out. He smirked down at me, his fangs peeking between the curve of his sinful lips.
I should have fought him. My legs were free, and I should have twisted my body to kick at him, but… I wasn’t afraid. The bond between us hummed at his proximity, making my body tingle. Goddess, I wanted him.
Kade appeared from the darkness on the other side of me, his broad form taking a similar stance to Locke’s, his naked body lying on the bed, not a single wound on him. He leaned down to kiss the soft hollow of my neck, chased up by a kiss to my jaw, then his teeth clamped onto my earlobe. “Do you want this, Mahare?” he growled, and I squirmed as need made my core clench.
“I—” My words turned to a gasp as Locke’s cool hand splayed across my belly and his mouth found my breast, his tongue flicking at my nipple. Pleasure rushed through my body as he sucked and licked, his hand sliding up from my belly to palm my other breast.
Kade’s hot breath puffed in my ear as his fingers slid between my legs, teasing my wetness. I writhed on the mattress, wanting more.Needingmore.
Needingthem.
Violet and crystal-blue eyes glowed in the darkness near the wall, and excitement wound through me at the thought that Asher and Darian were watching us.
A moan squeezed from between my lips as Kade’s fingers glided into me, and Locke’s teeth sunk into the skin above my breast…
Myeyessprangopen,and I sucked in a huge, gasping breath, my lungs starved as if my body had momentarily forgotten it needed air. Sweat slipped down my temples, and I shifted my legs, feeling the dampness between my thighs.
A dream. It was just a dream.I said the words in my mind like a mantra as I tried to remind myself of my reality and calm my racing heartbeat.Monsters. They’re monsters.Seriously, what is wrong with me?It was official. I’d lost my mind, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever regain my sanity. Even now, desire left my body aching with need.
“You talk in your sleep, Mahare,” said a deep voice beside me, and I jolted as I turned to find Kade’s body next to mine.
“What the hell?” I said, jerking my head back. “Ever heard of staying on your side of the bed?”
Amusement shone in his golden eyes. They were bright again, like they had been after he’d shifted to wolf form when we’d fought Zacal and the other wolves. “I am on my side,” he growled.
Frowning, I tore my gaze from his to peer behind me. Sure enough, a long section of bed lay bare behind me. I was the one who had moved right next to Kade, as if I’d tried to get closer to him while I was sleeping.Traitorous body.
“How are you feeling?” I blurted, wanting to distract him from the fact I couldn’t even control myself while I slept.
Kade stretched his limbs. “Muchbetter.”
I scanned his face. The gash that had crossed his cheek was completely gone, and only the faint trace of blue remained. My gaze then lowered to see his muscled chest and arms were healed as well. I didn’t need to look any lower to know the rest of his body was the same.Being a monster has some serious perks.
Lifting my hand, I went to touch where a wound had previously been across his bare chest, but realizing what I was doing, I stopped myself. My cheeks flushed, and I started to pull my hand away, but Kade gripped my wrist. I could have yanked my hand back if I’d wanted, but I stilled, waiting to see what he would do.
“What were you dreaming about?” he asked. His golden gaze burned into me, and my pulse raced at the lust banked in his eyes.
I remembered Locke’s teeth sinking into the flesh above my breast while Kade’s fingers filled me, torturously slow, and I swallowed thickly.What did I say in my sleep?Fuck, did I moan?“Nothing,” I lied.
“It was most definitely not nothing,” Kade said, his nostrils flaring as he scented the air.
Damn wolf senses.“I was just thinking about how much I hate you assholes,” I said, but my husky breath betrayed my lie.
His answering grin made my stomach flip. This was the second time I’d seen him smile since the fight with Zacal and his wolves, and I couldn’t deny the effect seeing him smile had on me. To know I’d helped put it there. Something had changed between us since the fight, and something had changed inhim.The bond between us was already hard to resist, but I was starting to realize that there was a part of me that didn’twantto resist it.
I’d been on my own for so damn long that the idea of beingcloseto someone again was alluring. I wasn’t a virgin. I’d been with a boy called Raylen back on the island. We’d fooled around years ago, but when he had found out I planned to purposely get chosen by the monsters, he’d been quick to move on.
Smart guy. It didn’t really bother me. I couldn’t afford to get attached to anyone anyway. It wasn’t fair to them, or me. But now—now I wondered if I could have it. Just this once. I would still find Cara. I had to. But would it hurt if I let my guard down this one time?
“I don’t believe you.” Kade’s voice rumbled in my ear. He pressed a soft kiss to my collarbone, and I closed my eyes, feeling my heart thudding in my chest.
I went to press my thighs together, but his hand slid up the shirt I was wearing and between my legs, pushing them apart.Fuck.I shouldn’t.He was a monster, but… I was going to turn into a monster as well anyway, wasn’t I? If what he’d said was true, he hated the part he played in the trials. And from what I’d seen, he was like me. Buried by the guilt of the past.
Just once.Maybe just this one time we could both have some fun. Kade’s fingers hooked into my panties and pulled, ripping them from me. He flung them to the side of the bed, and then his fingers were sliding against my clit, massaging and sending pleasure spiraling through me as if we were picking up right where we’d left off in my dream.
