“Yup.”

She grins, shaking her head at me, but we both know she’s not surprised with how cocky I am by now. “You know I’m attracted to the others, too, right?”

My brows rise in surprise, but not at the fact itself, more so that she’s admitting it so readily. “Obviously, Little Bird,” I mutter with a wink. “You’re not as discreet as you think you are when checking us out.”

Even though all we have is moonlight and sporadic lighting along the path guiding our way home, I can still make out the blush tinging her cheeks. She’s badassandadorable. Why is that so hot?

Following the path to the left, our steps slow a little, even though the house isn’t far away now.

“So what’s this about?” she asks.

“What’swhatabout?”

She rolls her eyes at me like I should know what she means, but I’m at a loss.

“What has you walking me home and promising me a good time?”

“I want to taste you,” I reiterate, but it’s clearly not enough when she continues to stare me down. “Little Bird, I would have tasted you the other day after I had the pleasure of your lips on mine, but you ran. Icanbe patient.” The memory of that moment, the taste of her lips, her back against the wall and the desire I felt all comes back in an instant. The vision makes the same feelings zap through my body every time.

“Is it because I’m a Void? Do you want to see if that somehow makes me taste different?” I balk at the absurdity of her question, speechless to answer her as we turn down our path. When we reach the door, I don’t move to unlock it as I turn to face her.

“Did your head really go there?”

“Yeah,” she admits with a sigh, ducking her gaze, but I reach for her chin, tilting her face back to mine.

“Pull your head back from wherever the fuck it went because that is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Did I know you were a Void when I kissed you the other day?” Her mouth pops open but I push on before she can say a word. “Did I know you were a Void when I jacked off in the shower over you? Dreamt about your pretty pink folds? Imagined what it would feel like when your body spasms from the orgasm I wring from your limbs? Hmm?” I step closer, forcing her head back a little more as I loom over her. My body craves to reach out and take her here and now but I need to get through the walls surrounding her thoughts before this goes any further. “I can’t hear you, Raven,” I add when she just blinks up at me.

“No.” A whoosh of air leaves her lungs as she shakes her head.

“Good. Before we step inside, are there any other crazy reasons why you’re trying to stop this from happening?”

She leans back with a frown. “I’m not.”

Bullshit.

Loosening my hold on her chin, I inch closer, making her step back until she’s pressed against the door, and cage her in with my arms.

“You’ve tried to scare me off with the fact that you like my best friends too. We’re the Bishops for a reason, Little Bird. We’re brothers through and through. If I lined them up here in front of you now, they would all claim the same about you. So that’s never going to be an issue. Then you come at me with the fact that you’re a Void and I really couldn’t give a shit about anything other than desperately wanting to know how sweet you taste. Now, is there anything else we need to discuss?”

Her jaw grows slack and she opens and shuts her mouth a few times before managing a breath. “Nothing.”

Thank fuck for that.

Reaching around her, I unlock the door, holding her to me so she doesn’t fall backward. Her feet dangle off the floor as I move us inside and shut out the world around us. Without a word, I take up the exact same spot by her bedroom door where we were the last time she let me this close. With a grin, I press my palms against the wall on either side of her head.

“Now that’s all cleared up, can I kiss you?” My pulse thunders in my ears, desperately waiting for her response.

“Eldon, I’m shocked you’re even ask—”

I crush my lips against hers, effectively interrupting the snark. I’m already a raging inferno and her skin against mine only makes me hotter. The press of her palms against my chest, her tongue dancing with mine, fighting for dominance, and her scent leaves me hanging by a thread.

Cupping her face in my hands, I raise her head as I press closer to her. The swell of her breasts against my chest, even with the material between us, makes me hiss. I hold her face with one hand, lowering the other to graze over her thigh, blindly finding the hem of her dress.

“Do you want me to taste you right here, Little Bird, where they could walk in or—”

“Oh, we’re already here now. There’s no need to stop on our account.” Zane’s comment whips our gazes toward the front door where the three of them stand.

I feel the muscles in Raven’s thigh clench as she takes them in, but when I look at her, it’s not fear or embarrassment in her eyes. It’s arousal.
