He wrapped an arm around her waist. “That isn’t what I meant.”
“Did you want a mate with your needs in mind?”
“If you can withstand the guys, you can tolerate me.”
“Uhhh.”
“We are a contracted grouping. A shiver. They named it for me since I was the smallest representation.”
At the bottom of the hill were a wood patio, tables, and lounge chairs facing the ocean. He guided her to the lounge and settled her.
He sighed. “I can’t kiss you as they can. My teeth are too sharp, but there are other things that I can do. An alternative kiss. May I?”
Eliana frowned. She had let two alphas kiss her. What could it hurt?
She nodded. “Uh, go ahead.”
He grinned. “They wore down your resistance?”
Eliana was honest. “Yup.”
“Excellent, then maybe this won’t make you flinch.”
He leaned over her and brushed his lips against hers. He was bracing himself over her, so technically, he was just kissing her, but the heat of his body and the implicit threat of him hanging over her was dizzying. His skin had the iridescence she associated with pearls, and his hair was a charcoal black, not quite black, not quite grey.
He kissed his way down her body, plucking at her nipples with his lips, swirling his tongue around her navel, slid her skirt panels aside, and chuckled. “Thanks for that.”
She frowned. “What?”
He licked the juices from her thighs. “The feast and the lack of confinement.”
Oh. Underwear. She whined as he moved his head from side to side, working up toward her folds where the frenzied focus of his tongue had caused another surge of slick.
When he speared his tongue into her, she screamed and arched toward his mouth. He pushed her thighs wide and kept at her until her scream was low and throaty while her channel fluttered around his tongue. He drank from her until her body finally relaxed.
He lifted his head and licked his lips. He smiled slowly. “That is an image I want to remember.”
She tried to sit up but felt like she was made of hot syrup.
He stroked her thighs before helping her to sit up. He smiled. “You genuinely enjoyed that.”
“Uh, what was your first clue?” She was trying to get herself together, but it was difficult. All of her nerves were asking her why she hadn’t done this years ago.
“You aren’t as tight as I thought. I was worried and am now really impressed. You have relaxed quite a bit.”
“Uh, I think that’s self-defense.”
He grinned, showing his intimidating teeth. “Excellent instincts. I think you are going to manage us just fine.”
She thought about it as they headed up the walk. That was what this was about. Her managing three alphas. She hoped it wasn’t at the same time.
Chapter Six
Eliana was caught by two surprised gazes as they returned to the structure. Keahi came over to her and rubbed her arms. “We heard a scream.”
Her skin caught fire. Literally. She found a place to stare at his chest and tried to calm the blush that had activated the mark.
Mano chuckled. “It wasn’t a bad scream.”
