“So, they do or they… don’t?”

“Don’t by walking in the sun. Do if they piss you off bad enough... or if they get blood lust and have to have their hearts ripped out on the dance floor after a girl—”

He rushes, but Legend shoves him hard enough to make him stumble.

When he rights himself, he pastes a big fat smirk on his lips, and I know.

I was so right.

Major playboys.

Maybe I won't be so bored here after all…

“Baby girl,” Legend, as he introduced himself, warns as he slips behind me. “Don’t look at him like that. It’ll only encourage him.”

“Maybe I want to encourage him.”

“Sure, go ahead.” He chuckles. “If you want to see how monsters die.”

My muscles stiffen and both brothers laugh, shifting to stand in front of me.

“It’s all good, Little L, encourage me.”The twin grins, running his tongue along his lower lip, but it’s more playful than anything. “I might die, but only for a few minutes, so... worth it.”

There’s this strange feeling between us, like a web weaved, the kind you’d find on the back of a menu at a diner during Halloween. Where you have to take a pen and try all the paths until you reveal the right one. The one that leads to another side.Theirside.

“I’m Sinner.”

I nod, looking over him in his all-black suit. “Fitting.”

The third brother joins us then, the one with the angry eyes from yesterday, who looked ready to tear my head off, but he doesn’t appear that way now. He’s … distressed.

For some odd reason, my fingers twitch, lifting and fully prepared to ease the lines along his temples away, but I yank that bitch back to my side before it gets chopped off.

You can't go touching a motherfucking Lord, London!

“Creed,” he says. No hello, no ‘my name is’ or even an ‘I’m’ like Sinner started with, and I’m starting to get nervous, so I pretend it was a pop quiz.

“Meh. Hit or miss for me, but I do love me some Sublime.”

Creed blinks, annoyed, but again … there’s something hiding behind his expression, something I’m not so sure he wants me to see, yet I can.

“My brother isn’t one to listen to what the human world calls music.”Hisvoice wraps around me like silk, cocooning me in a ball of pleasure as it kisses across my skin. And it does. All the way to my toes.

Slowly, the fourth, possibly final brother steps before us.

Instantly, my gaze glues itself to his face, but his bounces across his family, and I don’t imagine the way his throat stretches with a swallow just before he finally swings his attention toward me.

My pulse jumps in my chest. Literally. It bangs so hard against my ribs I have to take a step to keep me from falling forward.

Those blue eyes of his darken as they hold mine, if only a single shade. “He prefers to listen to the sounds women make when they scream for him.”

He stares, as if he’s waiting for me to … I don’t know, honestly, but what he gets is a laugh, and just to be sure I don’t say something that gets me burnt at the stake or whatever the fuck the Royals do nowadays, I stuff a mini cupcake in my mouth.

I realize the mistake the second I make it, as all their eyes fall to my lips.

I lift my hand, quickly covering my mouth and I chew faster.

“Name’s Knight,” he says, his words slow and almost … careful. “I—”
