“Fuck,” he breathes against my cheek, and I can feel him pulsing at my back. “Come for me, lovely.”
My hands are wrapped around his wrist as I grind into his hand. My breath explodes from my lungs, and all my muscles clench. Then I go limp.
“Good girl,kassiel,” is the last thing I hear before I fall into darkness.
CHAPTEREIGHTEEN
Volethos
* * *
Shae goes limp in my arms, and I slowly slip my hand from between her slick thighs. My fingers are coated in her honey, and before I think, I bring them to my lips, cleaning her off me with my tongue.
Fucking delicious. Likeamirnectar.
Something moves in my periphery, and my head snaps up. A crowd has gathered around us. I’d completely forgotten about them, and they’ve been watching everything I did to her this whole time.
Vittu!
I bare my teeth as a growl rattles from the back of my throat. “Go ride your own partners; this one’s worn out,” I say, warning the males back as I quickly wrap Shae in her dress, hiding as much of her as I can from their hungry eyes.
“Alright, everyone back off.” The light, airy voice carries just as Raela steps in front of us. “This show’s over.”
I’m both shocked and relieved to see her.
Raela’s arms are folded under her ample breasts, pressing them up so her cleavage shows clearly out of the top of her tight shirt. Then she steps closer and leans down, examining Shae closely. “Reminds me of how you used to wring pleasure from me, only I don’t recall you ever doing it with only your fingers. Is she okay?”
Her words echo my own worry, but I keep my face carefully impassive. Shae’s breathing is deep and even, her heartbeat steady. “She’s fine. Just passed out.”
Raela nods and backs up again. Her amber eyes are shrewd when she asks, “What are you doing here?”
I rub my chin against Shae’s temple, and she moans softly, rolling her head against me. “I’d say it’s obvious.”
“Don’t,” she warns, narrowing her eyes. “You’re playing a dangerous game by being here at all, let alone drawing this kind of attention to both of you.”
I scan the room, but all the guests have gone back to their partners, and no one seems to be paying us much attention. Still, “There’s no game. My female and I are just here for some fun.”
The look she gives me tells me she doesn’t believe a single word. Then she steps in closer, leaning down so she’s right in my ear. “You can’t fool me, Volethos. I know there is only one reason you’d risk coming back here,” her eyes dart to Shae, “especially with one of the females you stole right under Kurrahstka’s nose.”
My eyes snap to hers. Raela has always been insightful; I didn’t expect her to find out about Shae this quickly. “Shows how little you know,” I whisper back. My teeth are clenched, and I’m trying to keep my face emotionless, even though she’s not wrong.
“You forget how well I know you.”
“Do you?” I ask. “It’s been a long time, Raela. I’m not the male I was.”I’m worse.
Her carefully sculped brow arches as she straightens. “Oh? I guess we’ll just have to see. I’m trying to warn you to be careful; you’re playing a very dangerous game.” Then she turns on her heel and strides away.
Fuck!Pissing Raela off is a very bad move, I remind myself. At least until I know for sure where her loyalties lie. Despite anything she says, I know I need to play this like Kurrahstka has her in his pocket. Or maybe his bed. Whatever relationship we had was too long ago. After she disappeared, I mourned for her. Searched for her. But when she never turned up, I started wondering if she was ever really mine at all.
She’s also right. Toying with Shae the way I did tonight was a dangerous move. We’re here to find a way to infiltrate Kurrahstka’s stronghold and take him down, not get carried away by his depraved orgy.
Looking back down at the female sleeping soundly in my arms, I press my nose to her temple and close my eyes, inhaling our mixed scents. It was so easy though. Too easy, and that worries me.
Time has definitely muted the feelings I once thought I had for Raela—to the point that I wonder if I ever felt for her what I feel for Shae? I certainly don’t remember feeling this possessive over Raela.
Looping my arms around her back and under her legs, I lift Shae into my arms, cradling her against my chest as I stand. I keep her pressed to where my cock made a mess of the front of my pants when I came all over Shae’s back at the same time she flooded my hand.
Without another look around, I take us back to our room, promising myself that this won’t happen again.
