Eldon. Audience. Orgasm…

Rejection?

Was it rejection? I don’t know, but I do know I was desperate to taste his cock and he refused. Yet he declared that he was mine with my essence still on his tongue. I’m so confused. The calmness I was basking in moments ago is depleting as I spiral.

“I can literally hear your brain ticking from here.”

I startle, rolling to face the direction of the voice, but it all happens so quickly that I’m tumbling from the bed with a squeak before I can catch myself.

“Ahh, shit,” I hiss, rubbing my hip as Eldon peers down from the bed at me with a grin. His eyes rake over me from head to toe and I remember that I’m only wearing an oversized tee and panties. Which means my pebbled nipples are visible through the material and he’s enjoying the view.

Crossing my arms over my chest, I glare at him. “Why are you in my room?”

He lies down on his front, offering me his hand as I continue to stare at him. “Because I didn’t want you to wake up and decide to hide out in here for the rest of the day.”

“I wouldn’t.”

“Tell me that’s not what you were just thinking about when you woke up,” he retorts, raising a brow at me, and I shrug. “You’re that predictable, Raven.”

“I am not.” I bristle, still sitting on the floor like I’m not wishing to bury my head in my sheets and hide away from him.

“Maybe not to everyone else, but to me, it’s like I already know you.” He grins like it all makes perfect sense while I feel more confused than I did moments ago. Why would he say that? He barely knows me, just as I barely know any of them. “Come on, let’s go discuss all of the things we have going on like grown-ups.” He stands beside me, offering me his hand again. This time, I take it.

“I don’t want to be a grown-up.” I huff as I climb back to my feet. “What do we even have to discuss?”

He turns to face me, hands falling to my waist as he crowds my space, and I finally notice that he’s in a pair of black shorts and nothing else. Sweat clings to his temple, his hair brushed back off his face, and the veins in his arms protrude as if he’s just finished a workout.

Damn, that’s hot. And distracting.Verydistracting.

“Remember, Raven. Today is still our day. Which means I get whatever I want, just like you promised. But as much as I would like to dive beneath the sheets with you, you also promised the others, andtheyinsist on learning more about this Void business.”

Fuck, I forgot about that.

Sighing, I nod toward the door. “Fine, let’s get this over with.”

I move to step around him, but his grip on my waist tightens. “We’re not going anywhere until you kiss me though. Show me last night was real.”

My eyes widen. Who the hell is this guy? He went from zero to asshole to the man before me and I’m not sure if I’m struggling with whiplash or the swoon factor.

Clearing my throat, I subtly shake my head. “I told you, your friends are hot too.”

“And I told you I don’t care. Sharing is caring in these four walls, Raven. The quicker you learn that, the more fun we’ll have.” His gaze cuts to my mouth as I drag my tongue along my bottom lip.

Sharing is caring? Share me? Is that even a possibility? My thighs clench with excitement at the thought and I irritate myself with how easily distracted I am. A lot is happening around me and I’m more concerned about getting some dick.

“You’re jumbling my thoughts.” I press my fingers into my temples as a headache threatens to consume me.

Eldon places his finger under my chin and tips my head back slightly. “Stop overthinking everything and it will go away.” His lips descend on mine in a soft caress and my hands drop to his chest. My heart lurches as I forget to breathe, my body warming from his touch. All too soon, he pulls back, leaving me chasing after his lips, and he smirks. “So fucking addicting,” he mutters before grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the door.

I’m nowhere near ready to leave my room to see Zane, Creed, and Brax spread out on the sofas. I expect to see tainted looks after what transpired last night, but they’re looking at me the same as usual. The issue is they’re all shirtless like Eldon and I can’t be trusted with all the hotness on display.

Zane leans forward, bracing his arms on his knees as his gaze trails over me from head to toe. “Whose t-shirt is that?”

My eyebrows pinch in confusion as I glance down.

“Uh, it’s one I brought with me.”

“Has it always been yours?”
