I giggled and covered my mouth with my hand.
Drake dropped his hands with a smirk and a waggle of his brows. "And if that doesn't work, just think of something utterly repulsive, and he usually gets the hint." The twins shot a look in unison at Rayne where he had been watching us with narrowed eyes.
The edges of my lips curled up, and I brought the image of wanting to lick the toilet seat before I'd want to kiss him again. Rayne's eyes widened for a second before narrowing into slits. Without a word, he pushed up off the fridge, shook his head, and stomped out of the room.
"See?" Drake clapped me on the back. "Easy."
"I'm curious though," Wynn mused and angled over the edge of the island across from me. "What did you think about that angered him so?'
I picked up my water and took another sip before shrugging a shoulder. "Just something utterly disgusting." I winked at them but didn't divulge further.
They glanced between themselves and then chuckled, the sound sinking into my skin and making me shudder. God, save me from hot vampire men.
"So, what was your meeting about?" I asked, not bothering with pleasantries anymore. I laced my fingers in front of me and pretended to be a purely innocent bystander who would never think to eavesdrop on them.
Wynn gave a noncommittal wave of his hand. "Oh, this and that. You know, vampire things."
My brows rose. "Vampire things?" My nose crinkled. "Like blood and who's turn it was to shave the other's face?"
Drake and Allister busted out laughing and almost fell out of their seats. Once Drake managed to catch his breath, he swiped his finger beneath his eye. "Oh, I think I like you, Piper Billings. You're far more entertaining than any of our previous help, especially Darren."
"Oh, I don't know.” I grinned broadly. “You might want to watch what you say, Darren can wield a vegetable knife like a pro. I'd be afraid about getting on his bad side."
This only made them laugh harder. Even Wynn joined in this time. The sound of his laughter made my lower parts clench deliciously. I took a long drink of my water, half tempted to dump it on top of my head to cool my libido for a moment.
"What's so funny?" I asked as my lips tipped down in a frown.
"My apologies, Piper," Wynn told me with that cultured accent of his. "We are not laughing at you. It is just the thought of Darren being a threat to any of us is amusing."
"Why?"
"Because he's bound to us," Wynn explained.
"No. He's bound to Antoine. There's a difference," Allister pointed out with a stern look before turning a small smile my way. "I'm Allister, by the way. I know we have technically met but I wasn’t exactly being myself.”
I glanced down at his hand for a moment, my brows scrunched together in confusion. "You used to be the quiet guy who didn't know how to put a sentence together in front of me, and here you are, cracking jokes. What gives?" I cocked a brow at him as I slid my hand into his larger one.
"We were trying not to use our abilities on you to make you like us," Allister explained as he shrugged a shoulder. "Mine is harder to not use than the others."
I shot a look at the rest of them. "So... what are your abilities then? I found out that Rayne could read minds from Darren."
Drake laughed. "Boy doesn't know when to leave well enough alone."
"Right." I nodded curtly, then looked to Wynn. "I think I know what yours is, but I'm not sure what to call it." I flushed as I remembered his hands on me and the overwhelming need to have him touching me, kissing me. I was a healthy woman with a regularly sized appetite for sex, but around him, it just didn't seem to have a limit.
Wynn gave me a lazy, self-satisfied grin. "I am so honored that you would think of me so often." He reached a hand across the table and took mine in his own, stroking it in what most would call an innocent way, but they wouldn’t see the hot, needy desire that came rampaging through me just from those small strokes. It was like he was touching me in places I couldn't reach myself.
I sucked in a breath and closed my eyes before jerking my hand from his grasp. I dipped my head, my face heated again as I waved him off. "Stop it."
"My apologies." I could hear the smile in his voice, and it did nothing to lessen the need inside of me. My clit pulsated against my jeans, and I shifted in my seat in a vain attempt to quench the need for friction.
Clearing my throat, I opened my eyes to look at Drake. "So, uh, what about you? Your powers, I mean! It was that thing you tried to do to me that first day, isn't it?"
Allister banged on the island, and I jumped in place as he pointed an accusatory finger at his twin. "I knew you cheated!"
Drake merely gave his brother a cheeky grin. "What can I say? I can't help myself. Besides," his eyes dropped from his brothers to meet mine, "if you had been faced with such a lovely woman in such a vulnerable position as I had, you might have done the same."
I swear my face was going to be permanently red from all the blushing these guys caused me. The first time I had run into Drake while cleaning, he had come out of the bathroom only clad in a tiny white towel. It did nothing to hide that glorious body he was hiding beneath his clothes, and Drake had known it. He teased me and flirted merciless with me, and when that didn't work, he used some kind of charm against me. The next thing I knew, I was a bumbling fool, unable to say no or even recognize what the hell was going on. Thankfully, Marcus had shown up and stopped anything from happening.
