Halen doesn’t waver. “Yes, Priest. I’m ready, as are Stella and River.” Her mouth snaps closed, as she tilts her head to the side. She studies us for a moment, before leaning forward onto her tippy-toes. “Are you all ready?”
I lower myself down onto the stray tree trunk farther away, but annoyingly closer to Katsia. I can’t be bothered with the sibling fight.
She uncrosses her leg, her bare feet coming into view. “Hmmm… can I guess that the little Queens are misbehaving?”
“Shut up, Katsia.”
I should have known better than to expect her to listen.
My eyes drift up to Halen when Katsia trails her finger up my outer thigh. No doubt her cherry red lips will be turned upward. “Did your dad ever tell you about his and the last Katsia’s history? He had a thing for her too.”
I blink lazily, watching as Halen’s eyes turn to slits before they fall to where Katsia’s hand rests on my inner thigh. I could kick the bitch off. I don’t want her rubbing up on me, and furthermore, her doing this doesn’t benefit the bigger picture shit, but I keep it there, spreading my leg wide to give her more access.
The vein on the side of Halen’s neck flutters, her lips parting slightly. Tension cracks through the air as her knee bounces.Drop the fucking façade, Halen.I won’t let my mind wander back to what happened thirty minutes ago and how goddamn unaffected she was. I’m betting it got to her.You’re not as fucking slick as you think you are.
This has nothing to do with how intimidated she is of Katsia either. I know that’s a fucking lie. Yeah, Katsia is hot. There’s no denying that. She knows how to do what she does, and she does it well, but she’s easy prey. Merely something to pass the boredom while you wait for the chase.
Halen isn’t hot. She’s fucking lethal. The kind of woman to pluck someone like Katsia out and feed them to stray dogs so that she can be owned by the wolf.
“Katsia?” Her name leaves my mouth through a smirk, but I keep my eyes on Halen. “I’m gonna go ahead and do you a solid by—”
She moves her hand up, brushing my cock through my jeans as the tip of her tongue slides over the side of my neck. The damn bitch is calculated, and she’s about to equal exactly eighty-six. “I miss your tongue in more ways than—” Halen throws herself at Katsia in a flurry of rage and silver.
“Oh, shit.” I jump up from the trunk, my arms spread wide with a laugh. Leaning to the side, I bite down on my lower lip to stop myself from losing my shit as Halen has her straddled by the chest.
She presses the sharp tip of the Hayes family blade against the bottom of her chin, leaning in close until she’s hovering above Katsia’s face. She’s at least smart enough to shut the fuck up now. “I don’t like you much.”
Katsia’s brow arches. “I didn’t notice.”
Halen must dig the blade in further because Katsia’s face pales. “You don’t touch him.”
My eyes roll and I bite down on the groan that ripples through me, heading straight for my cock. Before I can open my eyes, I feel the point of her knife against the zipper of my jeans.
My smirk turns into a flash of white teeth and dimples when I open onto her, tilting my head down to her height. She’s a little fucking thing but, fuck me, she can hold her own.
Check. Fucking. Mate. My girl is pissed.
Good.
She leans in close with a wide smile, patting my chest with one hand while keeping the blade against my cock with the other. “I know what you’re doing.” Her eyes lower to my lips. “And I’d suggest you not do it again before I do something crazy, like… oh, I don’t know…”
My hips buck forward in challenge, pushing against the knife. I bend to catch her jaw with my teeth while holding in a deep chuckle. “Kill me? Cut my dick off? Give me your worst. It’s all foreplay to me, Halo.”
I reach for the back of her neck but she dips out from beneath me, holding my eyes. “Who do you think you’re playing with?” She lifts her chin in challenge but those fuckable lips twitch. “I wouldn’t give you my worst, War. I’d make you watch while I gave it to someone else.”
My face falls and my blood turns cold. Well, shit.
“Yeah?” I call out to her as she steps backward, her eyes darkening like the fucking Devil she is. I mouth the next words to her so that only she can see. “Fucking try it.” She turns her back to me and disappears through the shadow of the trees.
“She is ridiculous!” Katsia’s arm brushes against mine, and I instinctively move away from her. “Now tell me, Malum…” Her eyes flare as she continues to glare at where Halen disappeared to. “Is it just me, or is she hiding something?”
Halen
Even before theyall disappeared into the forest, I felt agitated. I couldn’t pinpoint the reason why, but I’m sure it had something to do with the fact that everything felt… off. Maybe I should have just got lost myself in there instead of coming back.
I don’t know much about what they do here, or in Riverside and the game they play in the guise of Devil’s Cockpit, or even how the Fathers have spent their time training them. All we know is what we’ve been training to do. Mom once told me that she hated it when she was young. The constant secrets and never knowing what was happening. Tonight was the first time that I felt like I knew how she felt.
Things changed a lot. They changeddrastically.
