I wiggled my underwear up and turned my head to find Ric staring back at me. His eyes were half-open, and he looked both pissed off and turned on at the same time.

I felt a pang of guilt in my chest, and I rolled over so my back was to him. It's not like I was dating any of them, so why did I feel so guilty?

"Camellia?" Oh God, he was using my full name.

I felt his weight on the mattress as he moved closer to me, his heat seeping in through my shirt. My heart was beating faster than when I had orgasmed.

"Hmm?" I feigned nonchalance. "How are you feeling this morning?"

I heard the shower in the bathroom turn on. I could picture Lucifer naked, leaning with his head against an arm, gripping his cock in his hand.

Ric was right behind me now. I could feel his muscles twitching as he wrapped a solid arm around my waist. I whimpered at his blazing touch. He was hotter than Lucifer.

"I can smell you."

I should have been revolted that he was talking about the smell of me, but oddly enough, it just made me more aroused. I grabbed his hand to stop it from moving, clutching his fingers in my grip.

"Is that the nice way of saying I stink?" I chuckled nervously.

His hand moved up to my mouth, despite the tight grip I had on his fingers. He touched my lips, his fingers shaking slightly.

"I want to kiss you." His voice was deeper, commanding.

"Then kiss her," Kai murmured from the end of the bed.

I rolled over and avoided Ric's gaze. I wanted to kiss him, but for some reason, I felt the most was at stake with him. His eyes weren't just showing lust. They burned with something much deeper than that.

"I don't want an audience when I kiss you for the first time." His eyes were locked on my lips, and he pulled down my bottom lip with his thumb.

"And if I want an audience?"

Wrong. Thing. To. Say.

I winced as soon as it left my lips, but Ric had already pulled away. Kai and Lucifer were different. I could have said that to them, and I had a feeling that would make them dive in headfirst at the shallow end.

Ric didn't want to vie for my attention with two others. He wanted me for himself.

I just hoped he came to his senses before I had nothing left to give.
