"I dare you to think about riding my cock and swelling with my young for the rest of this game," Alik's voice is calmer than I expect it to be, but I can hear that command in it. The one he hasn't used on me since he had me get on my knees and take him in my mouth. It has my whole body erupting in goosebumps, and I wriggle against him, needing to ease the growing ache inside of me.
I ignore the way Holoth and Phial are looking around the kitchen and the disapproving yet excited for me shake of the head Essa is giving me. Even more surprising is that she only has three fingers left up now. Jovi's already sliding closer to me, his hand high on my thigh. It's like he knows this game is already coming close to an end, and we've barely started.
"Never have I—" My voice squeaks with the last word as Jovi's fingers press up against the apex of my thighs, against the thin shorts I'm wearing.
"That's our cue," Holoth says, shoving at Essa's arm until she reluctantly slides out of the booth.
Phial grumbles under his breath about Jovi and Alik ruining the game. I might agree with him if not for the fact that I'm going to get them to play a much more fun one with me all alone. Or I would be if the stupid rules weren't in place, ruining everything.
"Let's go," Essa says, her hand on the hilt of her favorite dagger. I think she's talking to me for a second, but Jovi lets out a long, extended sigh before cursing under his breath and following her out of the kitchen.
"Ten minutes?" Alik asks, lifting me off his lap enough to lower his pants down and grab his cock. He's quick about shimmying my pants halfway down my thighs and spreading me just enough that I can sit on his cock.
"Fuck, I wish we had more than ten minutes," he snarls against my neck as his lowers hand lifts me and drops me down on him over and over, using my body quickly to bring himself pleasure.
The hand on my neck tightens, and I wish so badly to twist around, to press our lips together, to devour the growls he makes when he gets close. Instead, he keeps me facing forward, his nose running up and down my neck. His fourth hand is between my thighs, rubbing against my clit in deft movements that have the pleasure building up inside me.
"I want to look at you," I whine as I reach back and grab at the back of his head.
"I want that too," he murmurs, the words soft for how lost to his lust I know he is. "I want it too much, sweet human. Not today. Not today. Not today."
He repeats the two words under his breath, almost like a promise that maybe someday we can do more. One day we can be more than the restriction placed on us by the rules he came up with.
His words turn to growls, the growls to snapping his teeth and the bite of his fingers where he's holding me. There's no moresweet words, no more soft touches. There's demand for me to come, and I do.
He touches me just right until the world grows dim, and there's just the two of us and the building pressure inside of us. It explodes inside me at the same time he does, my orgasm drawing his out, taking him deep, milking everything from him that I can get.
Alik keeps his nose pressed against my neck as he comes down from his orgasm. Our breathing evens out together. Our heartbeats sync. He presses a kiss to my temple as he slides out of me, not caring as I make a mess on the crotch of his pants.
He tucks himself back into his pants and slides my shorts back up before I even register that he's done with me. I try to cling to him as he slides me between him and the wall in the booth, but he untangles my arms from around his neck and gives me a sad little tilt of his lips.
"Want me to send Jovi in, or do you want to go to your bed?"
Instead of answering him, I press my lips tight together and give him a judgemental once over. It's definitely rude of me, but then again, he's been all grunting and moody to me, so I think he deserves it. "That was less than ten minutes."
Alik's eyes go wide, his chest's flush growing so much I've never seen it take up so much of his chest before. I feel kind of bad because, obviously, telling him that has embarrassed him much more than I meant for it to. Then again, I am trying to goad him into telling me why he has all these dumb new rules.
The coldness in his eyes that disappears for a little bit after he comes is flickering back into his gaze already. He apparently does not like it when his ability to perform is brought into question.
"What do you want from me, Sloane?" Alik asks, his tone so genuine and full of longing that my stomach flip flops and fills me with an even worse feeling of longing for this male.
I may not know why we have so many new rules, but based on how Alik is looking and sounding now, it's not because he doesn't want me. I give him a half-hearted smile, not wanting to hurt him anymore if that's what I just did.
"Walk me to my room." I offer him my hand, and he helps me out of the booth. "I don't think Essa would like me fucking in the kitchen even more."
Alik looks around, his brows furrowing together like he forgot we were in the kitchen at all. Maybe he was pretty far gone during the game.
His eyes snag in the corner where the camera is, a growl slipping from his lips. He turns to look at me, but I just shrug at him, telling him I don't really care if Jovi's watching. He already told me the cameras aren't set up to record.
Alik's lips flatten back into their tight, stern line as he guides me out of the kitchen and back to my room. Jovi's already there, leaning against the wall, his legs crossed at the ankles, his arms stacked in front of him. My core clenches at getting to be with him right after I was with Alik. The only thing that could make it better is if we were all doing this together.
"Don't turn that pendant to green just yet," Jovi says as he saunters over to me and wraps an arm around my waist, stealing me from Alik in one easy tug. "I want to keep playing our game before I have my way with you."
I giggle and press my body into his, letting his lips crash into mine as he spins me around the hall. When we come apart for air, Alik is already gone, back to hiding away from me. I only let it bother me for a second before Jovi pulls me back into my room and we play for so much longer.
