Page 95 of Their Offering

“You heard me. Get. Your. Head. Out. Of. Your. Ass,” I said slowly, knowing it would bother him. “I don’t know why, but this girl is falling in love with you too. She lights up when you walk into the room. You two already push each other's buttons like you’ve known each other forever. It’s equally sweet and disgusting, honestly.” I shrugged, reining in my jealousy. I’d never have what Keir and Lilly had, and here he was, taking it for granted. “Now is your chance to claim her. Tell her who you are. Tell her how you feel. She will accept you, brother, I can promise that.”

He was silent, his eyes fixed on the third drink he’d poured, swirling it in his glass.

More of Lilly’s sounds of pleasure sounded around us, and we turned to face the hallway. It took everything to not walk in, but I knew they needed privacy for this exchange. The giving of essence was a huge deal, and I would get my turn soon enough. I could almost see her face now, twisted with pleasure. My cock hardened at the thought.

I turned to face my brother, but he was still staring toward the hall, his jaw twitching. I wanted to slap some sense into him, but instead, I just waited. His eyebrows were scrunched together, and he kept opening his mouth, trying to say something. I could be patient.

Another moment passed before he finally spoke. “Just take care of her.”

Keir put his unfinished drink down on the bar and stalked down the hallway. He paused at Lilly’s door, but then continued to his own, slamming the door behind him.

I finished my drink before I headed to her room. I paused at the door. It was quiet; I was sure they were finished. The door was cracked, so I tilted my head to get a look.

Aiden was holding Lilly, both breathing heavily as they stared into each other’s eyes. My brother was nearly transformed into his fiery state, and Lilly was practically glowing. I needed to be near her, so I knocked on the door, announcing my presence.

They both turned to face me, but all I could focus on was her. Her skin was bright, her eyes no longer had bags under them, and the green of her irises shined. Her smile made my chest swell, and I couldn’t help but return it. She was breathtaking. Hell looked so fucking good on her.

Chapter 43

Lillian

Nicholas laid on the bed with me for a while, still fully clothed.

I laughed. “What are you waiting for?”

He kissed the sensitive spot below my ear, one of my favorite spots for his lips to be. “I just want to soak in what we are now before it changes.”

I turned to face him. “You were always my sweet prince.” I kissed his lips, and my hips moved of their own accord against him.

“I hope that’s a good thing.” He kissed me back, his tongue darting across my lips.

“Oh, it is. It definitely is.” I tried to kiss him again, but he backed up. “What are you doing?”

“I said I wanted to soak this in, Lilly.” He kissed my forehead. “It’ll be different after this. I want to remember my fragile, helpless,humanoffering.” He winked, and my clit pulsed. I shouldn't have been turned on by that, but I was.

“Please,” I said softly as I planted a kiss on his neck. I kissed up his jawline, knowing I was tempting him, that he would snap any minute.

“Lilly…”

“Please.” I moved to straddle him, his eyes almost closed. I bit my lip and unfastened his jeans. “Ineedyou, Nicholas.”

“Damn woman,” he huffed as he flipped us over so I was on my back beneath him. His clothes came off quickly, and he was inside me even quicker.

“Oh, yes.” I pressed my head back into the pillows as he buried himself deep. His hands kept my hips moving with his, while mine were busy grabbing the sheets to ground myself in the moment.

“Fuck, Lilly. You feel so good.” He sounded desperate for me, and that only made things hotter.

“More. I need more.” I tried to reach for him, but he was too far, and my hips were held too high for me to move.

“Such a little whore, begging for more,” he snickered.

His hands released my hips, letting me fall back onto the bed. He brought his mouth down to my nipple and licked it, making me arch my back. When his teeth came out to play, I was ready to finish.

“Nicholas…”

He released my nipple and kissed my jaw. “I love you, Lilly.”

“I love you, too.” He kissed my lips. “Fuck. Please,” I whispered into his mouth.
