He grins at me, a devilish glint in his eye. “Does someone have a breeding kink?”
The others freeze, and the whole room goes up thirty degrees. The blush that’s been present ever since I stepped foot in this room comes back with a vengeance as Atlas’ winning grin shows he knows he’s struck gold.
Chest heaving in anticipation, I gasp for breath as I watch him slowly reach forward with two fingers. Swiping up his release from my abused pussy, he maintains eye contact with me as he shoves his fingers back inside me, taking my breath away and causing my heart to miss a beat. His eyes flare with heat as they roam over my face, watching intently for my reaction.
“We’ll have to revisit this later. For now, though, you need to rest,” Teddy interjects.
Atlas removes his hand from inside me, forcing my pussy to clench on nothing. I go to refute and demand they all fuck me again when a twinge in my lower abdomen makes me flinch.
Maybe Teddy’s right.
“Come on, let’s get you relaxed in the bath,” Teddy coaxes as he helps me stand up off Key and puts me on my feet at the side of the bed. Within seconds, they surround me, giving me sweet, tender kisses and making my heart soar in happiness.
“Why don’t you-” Teddy’s words are suddenly cut off as the room is plunged into darkness.
Chapter Fourteen
Itighten my grip on Grace’s hips as the lights go out, ensuring she remains close and within touching distance. As usual, my mind automatically goes straight to the more sinister reasonings. The others however, don’t panic as much, reassuring Grace that it’s probably just the storm having taken out the power lines.
I’m not willing to let her go, though. Not until we have everything confirmed, and with the cameras out of commission, that’s going to take a little longer than anticipated.
With the small amount of light provided by the fire, we can just about make each other out. Glancing down at her, I realize the guys probably toned things down to keep her panic at bay.
“Everyone get dressed. We’ll go check the breakers together,” Teddy commands, nodding over the top of Grace’s head to me. I nod back, silently telling him I have her.
Moving as one, Key heads to the closet to get Grace something to wear as Teddy heads over to our bags in the corner to cover us. Chucking me some clothes for Key and I, I pull them on before Key returns. Exchanging his clothes for Grace’s, hestarts to change as I dress her in a skimpy, white lace-trimmed camisole and short shorts.
I scowl at him, and he freezes, catching my murderous glare. “What? She’ll look sexy in that,” he says unrepentantly.
“You could have just gotten the nightgown she was wearing,” I growl.
“Ahh, but where would be the fun in that?” He winks at me, sending my ire soaring.
“We don’t even know what we’re walking into, dickface.” I snarl, my anger getting the better of me.
“It’s fine, Atlas,” she soothes, laying a gentle and warm hand on my chest. Her slight touch cools my boiling temper in a second flat. “I can just wear a robe over the top.”
“That’s not the point,” I grumble, still not happy.
“It’s fine,” she smiles sweetly. Running her hand across my cheek, our eyes meet, and she bashfully looks away, dropping her hand as she moves her arms to cover her chest.
“Pass me her robe,” I growl, holding my hand out expectantly.
Huffing, Key does as I ask. Holding it out to her, she unwinds her arms and peers up at me through her lashes, murmuring a soft thank you.
“Key, where’s the weapons bag?” Teddy interjects.
“In with the hostage,” he answers, earning a caustic glare from Teddy and a sigh from me. “What? Don’t look at me as though this is my fault. There were three of us in that room. It’s not my fault we got distracted.” I growl at his words, feeling Grace flinch under my touch as she takes the blame on herself.
“What the fu-”
“Enough,” Teddy barks. “Now is not the time for petty arguments. He’s right. And no,” he punctuates, moving forward to lift Grace’s chin. “None of this is your fault. We’re adults, andclearly, hot-blooded men who were enraptured by an angel.” Hewinks. “It was our responsibility, and we got too complacent. There’s nothing more to it.”
Leaning in close, seeing her uncertainty, he whispers in her ear just loud enough for me to hear.
“And I’d do it all over again if I get to have you at my mercy.” Kissing her tenderly on the lips, their eyes lock, and her shoulders relax as she leans into us both.
Taking his phone out of his pocket, Teddy switches on the flashlight and takes point with Key at his side, leaving Grace sandwiched between us all with me at her back.
