I’m about to rip him a new one when voices reach us, silencing my snarky response.

“She said she heard something down this way.”

“Well, as you can see, there’s nothing here.”

“She was spooked.”

“Yeah, well, maybe it was a ghost?”

“Hardy har… Wait, are there ghosts in the Tower?”

I can hear the agitation in the older guard’s voice when he replies.

“Let’s get back. Kaladar wants us to search the whole building for that girl.” The other guy grunts a reply. We wait until their footsteps move away before talking.

Axel is the first to speak. “How did you know they were coming?”

“I just… had a feeling.” I shake my head, not understanding it myself.

“Can you put me down now?” I raise an eyebrow at Kai.

“I don’t know. I kind of like where you are.” His grip tightens on me, igniting a hunger inside me. The look he gives me is full of savage lust. A sizzling heat in his eyes grows until they are completely dilated.

Warmth pools at my core as I absorb the feeling of his strong arms around me. I feel the tremor in his lean stomach muscles as I squirm in place, trying to ease the delicious heat building up between my thighs.

Kai leans into me. My head tilts instinctively, giving him access to my neck. A muffled moan escapes his lips as he tightens his possessive hold on me.

My breath hitches as soft lips touch my neck, brushing softly until they reach my ear. “Beautiful.” Another soft kiss. “Sexy.” His tongue licks just under my ear. “Delicious.”

I close my eyes as a shiver slides down my back like silk.

“Mine.” He bites my ear. A bolt of lust shoots straight to my core. I bite my lip holding in the moan wanting to escape. Fisting my hands into his shirt, my trembling body leans into him.

“Kai…” I want him. Craving his touch, I drop my head giving him more access to my sensitive neck. My oversensitive body imagines all the dirty, wicked things he could do to me with that talented tongue of his.

I feel his smile and the deep, husky chuckle that follows just before he switches from kissing to sucking my neck and ear lobe.

My own moan is dragged from my lips as pleasure, hunger and lust expands across my body making my brain short circuit.

“Fuck…”

I’m shaking from my haze of lust by Axel’s deep groan. Still wound up waiting on release, I open my eyes finding him staring right at me, eyes dilated with his fists clenched tightly by his side. His body is leaning towards us as if he’s about to take a step closer.

I lick my bottom lip, imagining what it would be like to be between them both as Kai continues to nibble on my ear.

I keep my gaze on Axel, my lips parting when Kai sucks a sensitive spot. My eyes roll back as another moan is ripped from my lips.

Kai’s hand around my thigh begins to travel upward.

A low vicious growl halts it from going any further. Kai pulls away from my neck as we both look over to Axel and Rion.

Rion’s eyes are narrowed as Axel growls a warning at him. His eyes are completely gold as he attempts to move past him, but Rion’s grip is strong, blocking his advance.

“We need to get out of here. Now,” Rion says, his body stiff as he turns to look at me with possessive hunger.

Kai leans against me, our ragged breaths blending as one. “He’s right. Your intoxicating scent is all over this… room. If we don’t leave now, we’re not leaving at all.”

My eyes widen realising what he’s saying. They could smell my arousal in the small, enclosed room.
