“Iwant you to be the one to kiss me now,”I said.
“Good. Because I plan to.”
I blushed hardandthat was all it took for Cal to finally bridge the gap and kiss me once and for all.
Oh, how I missed it.
Cal kissed me like he was playing with me, teasing me before going in for itcompletely, taking me for all I had as I kissed him back. My lips slipped against his as he gently bit my bottom lip, sending a gasp tumbling out from the back of my throat.
I arched into his body as he cradled me to him, trailing his mouth down my jaw to my neck.
As I leaned back, turning my head. I gaspedandnot just because of what Cal was doing to me.
Marko stood in the entry. Watching us.
For some reason, his being there only made me burn further in the inferno that was slowly starting to consume me. When our eyes met, his hazel gaze turned gold. Hot and molten.
Hetook a steptowards me, waiting for any argument to come out of me as he got closer to the two of us.
I wanted more.
More.
Cal seemed to notice only then, pulling away from where he had been kissing and nipping at my neck.
“Hmm.”He hummed.“You like Marko,don’tyou, beautiful? I could tell the first time you ran into him. How does he make you feel? Stunning? Small?”
Marko let loose something of asmallgrowl.
It sent shivers through me.“Safe.”
Again, Marko’s eyes found mine. Only, instead of only heat in them, now there was something else. Softness. Understanding.
“Protected,” I added.
Marko knelt in front of me.Itwas striking, taking my breath away, the sight of him there.Such alargealpha was kneeling. He was kneeling in front of me.For me.
“You think you might want this, Ella? All of us?”
“I…” I hesitated.
“Youdon’thave to,”said Cal, his words pausing between each other.
“No.”
“Ah. That’s fine. It’s?—“
“Ido want you. I want both of you. I think.”
Cal went back to smiling, planting another kiss hard over my mouth.
“Icould see it. Allof us. If I tried,”I whispered, finally admitting it.“If I was as brave as you.”
“As me?” Cal beamed.
“Yes.”
“Oh, baby girl. I promise you are,”he said.“Let’sprove it right now.”
