“Oh, hey, man!” Kai called casually, his breath a tickle on my wet shoulders. He leaned in to chuckle. “I’m pretty sure we left the key in the lock, didn’t we?”

The arms pitched on either side of me relaxed, like Kai wasn’t the least bit worried about how damning our position must have looked. “Would have waited if I knew you wanted to go swimming! You told him about this place, Claira?”

Nervous laughter threatened to slide up my throat, my mind halfway lost, muddled by an unwelcome haze. I didn’t dare open my mouth for fear of what noise might slip out while the water surged over my thighs. It was working its way between my legs, the powerful stream reaching my most sensitive places.

How the heck did I get myself into this mess?Literally stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I shifted uncomfortably, pulling my chest up on the tiles to escape the onslaught of water. It wasn’t until the apex of my legs made it over the cascade that I could finally think.

Yeah, Leander wasnothere to swim. He looked furious. Like if he had a pirate pistol in his hand, he would have aimed it right between Kai’s eyes. His face was awash with crimson, with the bridge of his nose swollen in an even nastier shade of red. Damn, Kai must have popped him good earlier.

His wild gaze landed on me, then slid back to Kai.

“You,” Leander growled, a cold anger sharpening his irises into icy pikes. His shoulders broadened as he stalked over, the awkward gait from smashing his way into the building making him look even more feral. “The fuck are you doing to her?”

The smooth insides of Kai’s arms brushed my elbows. His body seemed to melt around me, his breath turning ragged. “I—I don’t…” he began, but his words lagged, like his tongue had grown heavy in his mouth. Something was off. The timbre of his voice was too throaty, too heated. Like maybe a fog had settled over his mind.

Shit.

The weight of his chest slumped forward, and I nearly crawled out of the pool from the sudden contact. But it only drove him closer to the torrent’s source. Heavy breaths beat on my back, and his forehead fell forward, nestling into my wet hair.Oh no.He was definitely feeling it.

A low sound rippled through his chest, sliding into my ear. Anddamn. It was the hottest sound I’d ever heard.

A shiver raced through me as the deep vibrations shot right between my legs, the place where the water had left so wanting. His arms flexed, closing in around me, and I nearly harmonized his groan with one of my own.

How the hell had a noise like that come fromKai?

Every muscle pressed against me tightened, his whole body going rigid.Was he really gonna—

He gasped out suddenly, and his forehead sank. Blunt tooth tips raked over the line of my shoulder. Just a touch, light and wicked. Nothing like the bubbly Kai I knew at all. As they grazed, the hot slash of his tongue flicked over where his bottom teeth connected with my skin, sending a thrill racing up my neck.

With each increasingly uneven breath pouring from Kai’s throat, an inferno beat against my shoulder, driving me mad with a need for something I shouldn’t have even wanted at all. Another deep groan, and when his muscles pulled tighter than a line of fishing wire, his jaw tensed, closing around my flesh, using my shoulder to brace himself for what was to come next.

We cried out in unison, his a low moan and mine a shrill gasp of surprise, as his teeth sank into me. My eyes jumped to Leander above us, his shocked expression a mirror of my own.

Kai’d bit me.He freakingbit me.

He wasstillbiting me!

I didn’t hate it. That wicked realization sent me reeling, and I jerked, knocking my shoulder out of his jaw before his muscles had even stopped straining from his untimely release in the pool. “You—you bit me?”

I turned to gawk at him, the urge to see the polished teeth that had just awakened every nerve running across my neck and shoulder too pressing to ignore. But powerful arms plucked me straight from the pool before I could.

“Whoa. I don’t know what that was,” Kai gasped, falling away from the wall like he couldn’t bear another second in the unrelenting stream. “But I kinda want to do it again.”

“The fuck, man?” Leander barked. He set me on the tiles beside him, the pool water still dripping down my legs. “You bit her!”

Kai scratched the back of his neck, clearly winded. “Yeah, uh, sorry about that.” His lips stretched into a genuine Kai smile, and I gasped. Two rows of pearly teeth gleamed at me, slightly more angled at their tips than a typical human set. Why hadn’t I noticed before? “I can get a bit mouthy sometimes.”

He had so many teeth. Had his smile always been this wide?

“Fucking spike-tails,” Leander grumbled. One quick glance over to me, and my bikini had his eyes doubling back. All his princely bravado melted away as he processed my attire, then Kai’s.

The sharpness in his eyes seemed to thaw all at once, replaced with a deep hurt. Uncertainty crept between his brows, and when his lips slowly parted, I knew his next words would break my heart. “You… withhim?”

“No, of course not!” I said frantically, and words started spilling from my mouth. “I was just trying to teach him how to swim, I swear. Barren brought me back early, and then I saw you, and Aleena was there, and I didn’t know if I should have gone up to you or left you alone. She was all over you, and I guess I panicked. And then Kai was there, trying to cheer me up like he does. He asked me to teach him to swim, and we got in the pool and—”

“Yeah, okay, but why’s his dick out?” Leander cut in a bit too forcefully, and he whipped back to Kai like he realized he’d misplaced his anger. “You touch her with your dick again, and I’ll spear it off and punch it down your fucking throat.”
