I rake my eyes down her perfect body. This is going to be so much fucking fun. “And I won’t lie, we both love it when our prey doesn’t make it easy.”
“So I need a safe word. I get it.” Without showing a flicker of uneasiness about what we just said, she turns to Xander. “What’s yours?”
He smirks. “Abercrombie.”
Lily rolls her eyes. “Figures.”
I discard my cufflinks and shrug off my shirt. “So, what’s it to be, princess?”
“Marshmallow,” she replies without hesitation.
I want to ask her the significance of that word, but not as much as I want to hunt. “You both have two minutes to run and hide.”
Lily gasps. “Hold up a second. What about—”
“One minute fifty-eight seconds.” Zeke’s dark tone makes me shudder, and I’m not the one who needs to be afraid.
Xander tugs her hand. “C’mon.”
Lily resists. “But what—”
Zeke’s deep voice cuts her off once more. “One minute fifty-three seconds.”
“We need to go, shorty.” Xander pulls harder, and she stumbles after him.
She gives us one final glance, confusion and excitement in her eyes, then jogs out of the room with Xander by her side.
“You timing this?” I ask Zeke.
He looks at his watch and grins. “Kinda.”
“You want Fitch or Lily?”
He gives me his full attention. “Fitch. You know how much I love chasing his hot ass down.” I nod. Primal play is my thing. I’ve done it countless times with countless women, but I’ve never enjoyed hunting anyone as much as Fitch. However, something about chasing Lily down and fucking her senseless when I find her makes me hard as fucking iron. I lick my lips. That look on her face—the perfect mix of fear and lust—was incredible. She’s gonna taste so fucking good when I get my mouth on her.
“Besides, it’s probably best if Lily’s first time is with you. You’ll ease her in gently and she feels safer with you.”
Placing my palm on the back of his neck, I press my forehead against his. I hate that he keeps questioning himself where she’s concerned. “She feels safe with you too, Zeke.”
He swallows hard. “I know that. I just don’t want to scare her too much on her first time with this.”
“You won’t.”
His soft sigh brushes my lips. “Just go after Lily and leave Fitch to me, yeah?”
“Okay.” Pressing my lips to his, I give him a brief kiss. “One of these days, I’m gonna huntyoudown. And when I catch you…”
A grin tugs at the corners of his mouth. “You’d never catch me, old man.”
I slide my hand down his muscular back. “One day, Zeke.”
He dusts his lips over mine again. “One day, West.”
ChapterThirty-One
XANDER
My eyes dart up and down the hallway, ears straining for the sound of approaching footsteps. I thought about heading to the roof, but it’s pouring rain. So instead of running, I’m trying to outsmart them. Staying one step ahead. My heartbeat thumps a steady rhythm. A shadow flashes in my peripheral vision, and I run, my feet slapping against the marble floor as they carry me to the other side of the apartment. If I can get to the gym, I can sneak through there and double back.
