“Did you need something other than ogling my man?” I possessively slid an arm around Aeron’s waist, pulling him close to me, and Aeron just smiled, resting against the armrest.
Niles seemed to short-circuit as I revealed my possessive nature, his eyes growing wide before he tore his attention away from Aeron. “Well… yeah, they wanted me to persuade you to start operating again. They could use you.” I heard the unspoken ‘you’re the money maker’ in his voice.
“I’ll think on it.”
“Great.”
Niles slipped out after one more daring look at Aeron. My cannibal turned to me. “You’re not usually jealous.” His lips were curved upwards as his chest shook with silent laughter. He actually found this entire situation hilarious.
“Not jealous. Pissed off.”
“About?”
“Niles has been fucking using our connection. I don’t like him.”
Aeron chuckled and slapped my hand away, heading for the door. “Come on. No more wallowing. Let’s go home and find something to do.”
“I know what I want to do,” I growled at Aeron, eyes raking over his form. It was the only thing I had enough energy to do at the moment. I didn’t want to focus on anything else.
“Great. At home. Preferably on a bed.”
I sighed and followed him, but my thoughts were racing a mile a minute. We were getting a little bold – being seen together. I was surprised someone hadn’t caught our lip-locking session outside that café Aeron liked. But we weren’t just hanging around each other. We were also hanging out with Killian.
Someone was going to get hurt. If they hadn’t already, and we just didn’t know it.
KILLIAN
I had no idea what to do with the women who had approached me. Alex was pestering me for information, Nyla shooting pitiful looks from her cubicle as I passed. And there were too many voices in my head for the first time. Faint echoes billowed out of the dark space I kept scratching at, the ghost of a voice that didn’t come with a body.
I dialed Samael and then immediately hung up, staring at the blinking number on the phone before it disappeared and the screen went black. I didn’t want to talk to him. He would yell at me, storm in here, and lock me up in his house again. Not that I minded. As long as it involved sex. And lots of it.
Aeron would just be worried. But Slash? He got off on my crazy. And those women had only asked about Aeron. Slash was the safest bet.
So I dialed his number, listening to the tone as it painfully rang in my ears.
“Kitten? Wha- What are you calling for? Everything okay?”
I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile. Slash sounded breathless, a moan sitting at the edge of his lips. I knew what I had interrupted, and it intrigued me that my three dangerous men actually had the hots for each other. Like, that just made everything a little dirtier and that much hotter.
Aeron’s voice came through the phone next. “Hey, Kitten.”
I groaned, shoveling Dark and Daemon into another realm so that I could enjoy this moment alone. “What the fuck? Is this what you guys do when I’m at work?”
“Maybe. Jealous?” Aeron chuckled and then groaned. That was so not fucking fair. My fingers curled into a fist against the wall, frustration bleeding through my expression as my dick pressed uncomfortably at my pants. I fought the urge to readjust myself at the mere thought of whatever they were doing on the other side of the phone. I mean… I was at fucking work right now.
“What’s up?” Slash asked.
I stilled because the thought of telling them both seemed a bit weird. But for the sake of not keeping secrets, I needed to say something. Especially since Daemon had left the painful task with me. I wasn’t sure why I wasn’t freaking out, but I’d question that later. “I… well, these women showed up at my job.” Silence hit my ears. “I-”
“Fuck,” Slash muttered. I heard shuffling and dead silence.
Then Aeron’s voice came through again, “You called the wrong phone, Killian. Slash is the last person to talk to about them.”
Oh. I should have known they weren’t really looking for Aeron. “You knew they were in town?” Dark and Daemon were fighting, asking to take over, but what for? If I hadn’t already broken down, what difference would it make now? I shoved them back and listened for the answer.
“Unfortunately, yes, but we told them we didn’t want – wait, they approached you?”
Wasn’t that obvious? I huffed and leaned against the wall, trying to ignore Gary, who kept peering outside our cubicle to ‘check up’ on me. I threw him the bird and returned my attention to the call. “Yeah. At work. Apparently, some people have made connections and know I’m the guy in the article. That’s not the point. They came to warn me off you.”
