She still looked unconvinced so I placed two fingers underneath her chin and lifted it slightly so that she was forced to look me in the eye. Without stopping to think about it, I leaned down and kissed her. It almost killed me to do it. Honestly, just bending my body in that manner was like driving a knife through my midsection and then twisting it back and forth.
But as soon as our lips collided, all that melted away. I could no longer feel an ounce of pain. All I felt was the weightlessness of bliss. If I had any doubt that Jane was our mate, all that doubt was now being eradicated.
Her l
ips were so silky, smooth and sweet. I had only enjoyed them for a few seconds and already I felt like I was completely addicted. Unable to help myself, I wove my fingers into her hair and held her even closer, so that our lips fused together. Even that was not enough to satisfy the hunger that gnawed inside my soul.
My tongue made its way into her mouth and explored everything she had to offer me.
She returned the passion with a fire of her own. Her tongue twisted against mine and she even went so far as to bite my bottom lip.
Big mistake.
That was one of my biggest weaknesses. I loved a girl who wasn’t afraid to bite.
Fueled by lust, I was just about to pick her up by the hips and slam her up against the wall but at that exact moment, Landon came walking through the door. We managed to separate ourselves but not quite quick enough to disguise what we had been doing.
Landon raised his eyebrow in my direction. “Care to explain?” he asked, after a moment.
“It sort of just happened. But let me tell you, man, she’s definitely the one we’ve been waiting for. All I got was a simple kiss and I feel like a brand new man.”
“Looked like more than just a kiss to me.”
“Okay… maybe there was some tongue action thrown in there but hey… can you blame me?”
Landon chuckled.
“What?” Jane spoke up, confused. Of course, she had no idea, the words that had been exchanged during our telepathic conversation but it was probably better that way. The topic of mating her would be a sensitive one and we had to handle it with care or risk losing her. Most humans tended to go running for the hills when they discovered their role as a shifter mate. For some reason, threesome relationships aren’t universally accepted but in our culture, it’s the only way to start a family. “Um… maybe we should do something about your injury now…” she said. “It looked pretty bad.”
“It probably appears worse than it really is.”
“Still, I’d feel better if we had it under control.”
Landon appeared with a medical kit that we kept for emergencies. Shifters had the ability to heal at an accelerated rate but sometimes injuries are so grave that we still need a band-aid or two.
“I hope you’re ready to play nurse,” I said, with a wink. “Unfortunately, there’s no costume for you to wear. That would have made things a thousand times better.”
She punched my arm. “Keep it up and I’ll let you bleed to death.”
“Jeez. Where did you learn to punch like that? Seriously, I think you left behind a bruise.”
“Good. You deserve it.”
“And here I was thinking that you had actually enjoyed our kiss —”
“I did,” she interjected. “But…”
I could see the turmoil playing out on her face. She was troubled by something. “Jane. Talk to me. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Jane.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
But worry about it was exactly what I did because I didn’t want to see such a beautiful girl with sadness in her eyes. “You know you can tell Landon and I anything, right? We will always be here for you.”
She didn’t respond. Instead, she stepped forward and started to cut away my shirt with a pair of scissors. When it came to pulling it away from my wound, I did my absolute best to keep from flinching.
