Kyros and Maximus nod as they walk out to the hallway, but Mateo gives me a warning look before he closes the door behind him.
I swallow thickly as Olivia turns to face me, her brows furrowed. I waste no time closing the distance, needing to be closer to her.
“We just got you back, angel,” I breathe, my shoulders slumping as I gaze into her sea-green eyes. My stomach sinks as memories from the last week come flooding back. The fear that had gripped me when I realized she was gone, the panic that had wrapped around my heart when I was just seconds too late.
“You’re not losing me, Adrian,” Olivia murmurs. She leans forward placing a sweet kiss on my lips. I nearly chase after her as she pulls away, the tender moment over far too soon. “I’ll only be there for a day tops, and if I can’t find them by then I’ll come back. It’s a long shot but it’s one we have to take.”
“I know,” I sigh. “I just wish you weren’t the one going.”
“It won’t be my first time in the infernal realm, and this time I have Octavia by my side. I think the two of us can do quite a bit of damage.” Olivia smirks, wrapping her arms around my neck.
“I know, angel. I’ve seen your power firsthand, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to keep you safe.” I inch forward and grasp her hips. My fingers dig in as though I can keep her here with me if I hold on to her hard enough.
“And that’s why I love you,” she whispers, closing the distance between us. My mouth covers hers in an instant, desperately pressing my lips to her, consuming her like I’ll never get enough. My heart warms as she reaches up on her tiptoes and presses her chest against mine. I wish we could stay like this forever, lock ourselves away from our responsibilities. Only my body and hers coming together as one.
My tongue delves in, caressing hers in long, languid strokes, and I shift my grip to her ass, cupping her delectable cheeks as I lift her against me. She wastes no time straddling my waist, and I press her back into the cool marble, needing to feel every inch of her body against mine.
“Adrian,” she groans, tipping her head back and arching into me, exposing her delectable throat.
“You’re so delicious, angel,” I whisper against her, dragging my lips down her heated skin. I adjust her in my grip and slide my hand up her thigh, my chest rumbling at how soft her skin is. She whimpers, her hips jerking and urging me on.
“Do you want me to take you right here, angel?” I growl, teeth scraping against her skin.
“Yes,” she gasps, trembling in my arms. My lips capture her again in a searing kiss, our breaths coming in ragged pants as sparks of anticipation dance along my skin.
“Olivia? Adrian?” Kyros calls out, just as the door opens.
“Dammit,” I huff out in exasperation. “I didn’t walk in on you the other night.”
“That was my bedroom.” Kyros chuckles, striding into the room. “This is a public place, where anyone could walk in on you.”
His amusement vanishes the moment he spots me and Olivia, his heated gaze running over our mate. His throat bobs, and he adjusts the collar of his dress shirt.
“Are you sure you don’t want to join us?” Olivia offers, biting her bottom lip as her gaze flicks between the two of us.
Silence stretches between us, indecision warring on Kyros’ face.
We almost—
“Kyros?” Osias calls, his voice further away, but the echo of his shoes against the marble floor
“Shit,” Olivia hisses, wiggling in my grip. I hurriedly lower her back to the floor and adjust her dress, making sure she doesn’t have a hair out of place before—
“Is everything alright?” Osias asks as he rounds the door.
“Everything was going great until—” I murmur under my breath, but Olivia elbows me in the ribs.
“Everything’s fine,” Olivia says, striding over to the door. “We were just about to join you.”
Olivia slips out into the hallway, leaving Osias looming in the doorway, his look of warning flashing to Kyros and me before he follows her.
“I didn’t even do anything,” Kyros mumbles in accusation, shaking his head in disappointment as he follows.
This war can’t be over soon enough. Maybe then I’ll be able to get a moment alone with my mate without someone barging in on us.
