Kalen roars with laughter behind me. “Not such a big wicked demon after all,” he says from on the bed, making Darius smirk before glancing back at Kalen. His laughing cuts off when Darius growls. Darius pounces, causing Kalen to shriek. I flinch, my heart fluttering in my chest. I’m about to help Kalen when Lycus’ lips nip at my chin.

“Darius is playing with him. He won’t hurt him,” Lycus purrs. I watch Darius pin him to the bed before his lips crash against Kalen’s.

Kalen writhes beneath him while doing his best to escape, but Darius chuckles, pinning his wrists above his head. Darius’ hand moves between their bodies, and arousal smashes into me when I see him squeeze Kalen’s cock through his boxer shorts. Kalen groans and rocks his hips up against him, and I can’t seem to tear my eyes away from them, loving seeing this playful side to them. Darius’ tongue slips into his mouth briefly. Then he pulls away with a teasing smile on his lips, and Kalen pouts.

“If you want it back, take it,” Darius teases, making me realize Darius has just stolen his magic.

“What do you want to do, Love? If I take you over there to them, you won’t be leaving the bed, or do you still want to shower?” Tobias purrs behind me.

Hmm. That’s a tough question to answer because I want both things.

“Or one of us could join you?” Lycus whispers. Darius and Kalen glance over to see what I will choose.

“In that case, I choose Kalen,” I giggle, and Tobias huffs behind me while Lycus growls, scrunching his face up before smiling. Darius looks down at Kalen beneath him.

“Maybe you can steal mine back from her,” Darius taunts, leaning down and nipping at Kalen’s lips before kissing him. I can see the exchange this time, paying attention as Darius gives him back his magic. Kalen’s aura grows stronger, and Darius lets him up. Lycus places me on my feet and steps back. The bond urges me to chase him, bring him back to me, craving his touch.

“He’s all yours,” Lycus chuckles as Kalen comes over to me. His eyes roam over my face and down to my bare chest, his breathing becoming heavier, and I watch his eyes darken. I reach out for him. Despite craving his touch, I am gentler with Kalen, unable to be rough with him, yet I feel part of him craves roughness, like some part of him is sick of everyone treating him as if he was made of glass.

Kalen grabs my throat before I can touch him, ripping me toward him before his lips crashed against mine. That is when I realize Kalen doesn’t crave roughness; he desires control. Something the others rarely give him, and I have no issues letting him have it as his mouth dominates mine, devouring my lips while his grip on my neck grows tighter.

“Kalen, gentle,” Tobias whispers. I shake my head, knowing Kalen wants this, that he needs it.

His mouth moves to my jaw and down my neck. The heat from Tobias pressed against my back seeps into me, and then his concern for me.

“He’s fine. Leave him be,” I moan when his grip becomes rougher, his fingers digging into my breast as he squeezes with his other hand before pressing himself against me.

My breathing tightens when I feel his teeth sink into me over their marks. I hiss at the pain because his teeth are blunt compared to Tobias’ and Lycus’. I clutch him closer, feeling the bond wash over me and form. Kalen’s emotions bleed into me along with his magic, when he pulls his face from my neck.

His eyes are closed, and my blood runs from the corner of his mouth. He sighs loudly. I grip his chin, tilting his face toward mine before licking the trail of my blood back to his lips then I kiss him. Kalen smiles against my lips as my tongue delves between his. All too soon, he pulls away.

“Three down, one to go?” he breathes, brushing his nose against mine.

ChapterSix

Tobias moves behind me. His lips press softly to my jaw, and I tilt my head, giving him better access. My eyes flutter closed at the sparks rushing over my skin, making goosebumps rise over my body as he leaves open-mouth kisses on my skin, sucking and nipping at my soft flesh. His teeth graze and tease as his arms wrap around my waist, firmly holding me against him.

Kalen’s lips crash against mine with a deep, ferocious passion. His tongue demanding as it moves between my parted lips, tasting every inch of my mouth. Their touch is invigorating and empowering as their magic passes between us with each touch and gentle caress. I run my hands across Kalen’s warm chest, loving the tingling sensation beneath my palms and the feeling of his arousal from the bond.

Tobias growls, the sound sending a cold chill up my spine as his teeth pierce my flesh and nearly cause my knees to buckle. My eyes roll into the back of my head as his tongue laps at my neck, his grip strengthening. His bite is no longer painful but pleasurable, and I push back against him, my lips pulling away from Kalen’s as I moan at the euphoria coursing through me.

Darius’ scent reaches my nose. His masculine smokey scent wraps around me, making my eyes open to see him watching me. Kalen steps out of his way and moves toward the bathroom door. He opens it, and I hear the shower turn on a few seconds later. Tobias pulls his fangs from my neck, and I feel a little light-headed as the ecstasy of his bite fades and forces me back to reality.

“Go shower before they get carried away,” Darius whispers. His eyes flicker like he is fighting his own urges to mark me. His hands fall on my hips, and he turns me toward the bathroom, where I can see Kalen already in the shower.

I gulp when he turns and wets his face. His body looks hand sculpted. Kalen is by far the smallest, with his height and muscle, he’s got a leaner, more athletic build. Yet his softness is what makes him so appealing. That and the calmness I experience when I’m near him. Whereas Lycus looks like he lives in a gym despite never seeing him use one; his werewolf DNA is strong, and he is all muscle on muscle. Darius’ body, I can tell, is lethal, bulky, and hard-pressed behind me. He and Tobias are built similarly, both tall and towering over the rest of us.

“Are you just going to stand there?” Kalen asks, raising an eyebrow while I gawk at how perfect he is. He smirks, his hair falling in his eyes now that it is wet. He runs his fingers through his hair, flicking it out of his face as he turns back to wash.

Darius pushes me through the door, making me stumble. His hand on my stomach catches me before I face-plant onto the tiles because I stare off in a daze, too busy perving on my mate. Darius laughs softly behind me.

“Kalen is delicious to look at,” Darius murmurs behind me, and I nod stupidly. I am pretty sure he could have said anything, and I would have nodded, still focused on Kalen, my mind refusing to comprehend anything or anyone else.

“Kalen, stop. She can barely function,” Darius scolds, and I feel the trance that grips me lessen, making me blink rapidly.

“He was fiddling with your aura, pulling on it,” Darius murmurs when I feel his fingers trail along the waistband of my pants. I grip his hands.

“You’re not bleeding. I checked you early this morning while you were asleep,” Darius tells me, and I sigh. I know I should probably be embarrassed, yet surprisingly I’m anything but. Darius slides them down, and I quickly step out of them.
