With a vaguely amused air that reminds me that Griffin is perfectly aware of my internal state too, my brother decides to get in on the action. He slides off Riva’s sneakers, slips her socks off in turn, and then applies his thumbs to the arch of one foot.
Her head tips back with a deeper hum that’s almost a purr. Desire crackles through my nerves, andhalf-hard is a thing of the past.
With a small smile playing on his lips, Dominic sets her other ankle on his thigh and gets to work himself. He lets one of his tentacles caress her calf while he rubs his thumbs into the tendons of her foot.
Riva licks her lips. The vibe in the room is definitely heating up, even if none of us is acting on that awareness yet.
A brief pang of guilt hits me—maybe we should find some way to call Andreas and Zian over. Drey went off to his own room to meditate on the memories he could use to distract the shadowbloods in our ambush tonight, and Zee was going to do some sparring in wolf-man form with a couple of the shadowkind to figure out most effective uses of his increased strength.
But to reach out to them, we’d have to burst the bubble of peace we’ve already formed here. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with a few of us enjoying a somewhat more private interlude with our woman.
I hope to hell that I still get occasions when it’s just me and Riva, as much as I appreciate what the other guys can offer her.
As I reach the small of her back, she arches into my touch. I can’t resist leaning in to brush my lips against the crook of her neck.
Her gasp sends a giddy hitch through my pulse. I add a little teeth before murmuring, “I think we could take care of you even better than this.”
Riva turns her head to seek out my mouth, and that’s all the answer I need. I claim her lips while sliding my hand around and under her shirt.
My fingers stroke upward to the band of her bra. Through her warm skin, her heart thumps a heady rhythm against my palm.
Our shadows thrum in unison. I kiss her harder, pouring all the passion I have into the meeting of our lips.
When I ease back to tug her shirt right off, Griffin scoots over with a sly smile. The second her arms are free, he unclasps her bra.
Riva tugs my brother into a kiss and then reaches to help undress him. I catch her arm before it gets very far.
“Nope,” I say, nudging her down on her back. “You do so much for everyone. Let us do all the work for once. Just lie back and enjoy.”
She gives me a skeptical look, but Griffin is already peeling his own shirt off. As he tosses it aside, Dominic and I follow suit. Can’t leave her alone in her nakedness.
Dom teases both his hands and his tentacles farther up Riva’s legs over her cargo pants. He aims one of his quietly pensive smiles at her, but his hazel eyes shine with eagerness. “Would it be so bad to take for a little while instead of always trying to give?”
Riva lets out a faint huff, but she sinks down on the bed. “It’s more fun when you’re all enjoying yourselves too.”
Griffin laughs. “Oh, we’re already enjoying ourselves. You don’t have to worry about that, Moonbeam.”
My grin widens. “And we’re going to enjoy it even more when you’re writhing and moaning.”
A perfect flush colors Riva’s cheeks. She rests her hands on her abdomen just below her pert breasts as if she’s not totally sure where to put them.
“Hmm. How about up here?” I grasp her wrists gently and lift them over her head so her arms sink into the pillow. Then I trail my fingers down from her hands to her shoulders, so delicately she shivers in anticipation.
Dominic is undoing her fly. Griffin and I lift Riva’s hips so he can strip her pants right off her.
I allow myself one brief glance over the nearly naked, gorgeous planes of my lover’s body before lowering my head to flick my tongue over the peak of her breast.
Just like that, I earn a whimper—one step down from a moan. We can build up to the real symphony.
Riva reaches for me this time, unwilling to stay still. As her fingertips graze my hair, Griffin catches them and presses kisses across her knuckles.
“Take,” he reminds her. “Tell yourself you’ll have more to give everyone else later this way.”
Riva snorts, but the dismissive sound breaks with another gasp as I test her nipple between my teeth. Griffin trails his kisses down her arm while Dominic charts a path up her thigh, a course I totally approve of.
When he hooks his tentacles around the sides of her panties, Riva gives a little wriggle that’s both encouragement and assistance. He drags them down and then dips his head to lap his tongue over her pussy.
There’s our first moan. It vibrates from her chest into my mouth, and I suck her pebbled nipple with more force, ignoring my jealousy that I’m not the one tasting her arousal.
