Elias obliges, though. He tilts my head back, then finally,finally, his lips press against mine. Slow and exploratory, he’s taking the time to savor it. He still has his hand tangled in my hair, and his fingers massage my scalp in a way that makes me absolutely melt against him.

I part my lips, inviting him in, wanting him to deepen the kiss.

He laughs softly against me. “So eager,” he murmurs. Yet he does as I wish.

Caelan is getting restless at the lack of attention. I’m too preoccupied with Elias’ tongue in my mouth to notice—how can I notice anything else when he’s slowly tasting every inch of me and making my knees feel weak? But Caelan brings my thoughts back to him with his other hand, joining the first on my thighs and sliding them up even higher. He grips my hips, thumbs rubbing small circles over my hipbones, and he leans in to nip at my exposed throat.

I gasp, the sound muffled by Elias’ mouth. Caelan isn’t biting downhard, yet the threat of his too-sharp teeth against my pulse point sends a thrill through me.

This is getting overly heated for a public place. But it’s impossible to want to stop when Elias’ lips are working against mine in the most delicious ways, and Caelan is leaving stinging bites all along the column of my throat. Even if I could have gotten away with such a public display of affection with one of them, being sandwiched between both is far too daring.

I reluctantly draw away, sighing.

“Do you want to stop?” Elias asks.

“No! No. But, um… people are going to stare.”

“Who gives a fuck about them?” Caelan says. His hands slide lower to grope my ass, and I let out an undignified squeak of surprise.

“Caelan.”

“They can’t see that.” He smirks.

He’s technically not wrong. They can probably see my face flushing bright red, though.

Elias does absolutely nothing to rein Caelan in, amused by the other demon’s antics. It’s not like Elias doesn’t have an arm wrapped around me himself that he’s decidedly not removing.

“Perhaps we should get the check before Caelan causes a scene,” he suggests.

“Pfft. Like you’re not the one who started making moves on her first.”

“She asked me to.”

Caelan’s eyes fall on me. “So that makesyouthe troublemaker, not me.”

“Hey,” I protest. Them ganging up on me is not fair.

“Should’ve figured after that stunt in the car.” Caelan grins. Then he leans in to purr lowly against my ear, “The troublemakers are always so much morefun.”

His words send a shiver through me. There’s something undeniably sensual in his tone, and it makes my eyelids flutter shut for a moment.

Maybe Caelan has a point. Who cares who’s watching?

It’s not like there are even that many people left anyway. I don’t know when it got so late. I barely noticed the time passing so quickly, caught up in talking and laughing with them. It must be close to the restaurant’s closing time. Only two or three tables are occupied in the entire place, and we’re out of the way. No one’s paying attention.

I can’t resist it any longer, and maybe I’m only proving Caelan’s point. But I brace a hand on the back of his neck and kiss him.

Caelan growls against my lips. Then he’s kissing me back with an intensity that leaves me breathless. He doesn’t show any of Elias’ restraint, immediately prying my lips open and sliding his tongue into my mouth. His grip on me only grows tighter, pulling me against him. The kiss is firm and insistent, and the things he’s doing with his tongue make heat curl in my gut. I shouldn’t be getting so turned on by a kiss in public, butdamn.

“Really. Do you have no sense of decorum?” Elias sighs, but he doesn’t sound overly upset with either of us. In fact, both of his hands find my waist as well, stroking up and down my sides. He’s not doing anything to stop this in the slightest.

Caelan pulls away long enough to growl at Elias. “Pay the fuckin’ bill and let’s get out of here.”

I can only assume Elias does so because Caelan returns to kissing me and doesn’t stop. He pulls me over onto his chair, and I’m straddled across his lap by the time Elias interrupts to say we’re ready to leave.

Oh. Right. Leaving. That’s a thing we’re meant to be doing.

My face is flushed and eyes glassy, lips pink and kiss-swollen by the time Caelan finally lets go. He smirks at my dazed expression.
