The sparkly fabric slithers down my tummy and pools over my hips. So I’m protecting that much of myself, at least.
Draco’s scorching gaze shoots straight to my small boobs.
Under his scrutiny, my face flames and my whole body braces for more of the criticism I’ve gotten my whole life (over my skinny frame and white skin and ridiculous profusion of freckles) from the elite East Coast prep schools my dirt-poor parents always relied on scholarships for me to attend.
Under his breath, Draco mutters something incomprehensible.
Probably something about my freckles.
Which truly do spreadeverywhere.
“I, uh, don’t speak Icelandic.” Already mortified, I dive for my fallen dress.
“Hjartfólgin.”He repeats the phrase and circles my wrists in his big hands to stop me. “It means… my… hidden heart.”
In response, my own heart gives a hard thump.
When the bad boy of the whole school drops to his knees between my spread thighs and gazes up at me, his chiseled face blazing with need, I pretty much stop breathing.
“Give him a chance, you,” Jae breathes in my ear. The ear is an erogenous zone for my kind, even if I didn’t inherit the pointy tips, and my body ripples in a delicious shiver.
Slowly, almost… reverently, Draco’s rough palms span my ribs, then slide up my torso to cup my boobs.
Okay. Maybe the golden sprinkle of nutmeg freckles over my pale skin doesn’t bother himthere.
I’m really sensitive there, and my tiny pink nipples are already so stiff they’re aching. Now they peak against his callused hands. He rumbles in pleasure and thumbs my nipples. Sensation spreads outward from his touch like ripples in a pond.
I guess he doesn’t mind then? I mean, the fact that I’m flat-chested…andfreckled… miraculously doesn’t seem like a turnoff for this one guy.
My teeth sink hard into my lower lip. I arch into the caress and my head falls back against Jae’s sinewy shoulder. My face turns toward this wolf at my back and our mouths meet in a slow sucking kiss.
If Draco Mars is ice, then Jae Labête is fire.
He tastes like wolf, all dark and smoky, with a tongue like sin. Knowing this mouth of his was just wrapped around Draco’s dick only makes me hotter. I wonder whether Jae finished him off—the way he’s clearly done before—after I interrupted them on the stairs.
Ah,chere, you naughty girl, you.The velvety purr of Jae’s voice fills my head.
I forgot he’s a telepath, he has the gene that encodes for that, because he’s never spoken that way to me.
“If you want to know the truth,” he whispers against my breathless lips, “we didn’t finish on the stairs. We were waiting for you.”
My heavy eyelids lift to meet the liquid honey of Jae’s Cajun stare. His eyes are wolf eyes, almond-shaped and slanted, definitely wilder and more yellow than they were before.
But I’m not afraid of him.
Slowly I twine an arm around his neck, his sleek beaded braids swinging around his face. My other hand threads gently through Draco’s spiky hair, where he kneels between my thighs, to draw him closer.
Draco’s warm hands are still stroking the small slopes of my boobs, and I’m tingly and shivery all over. My nipples are so tight they’re tingling. When the warm suction of Draco’s mouth closes over one sensitive peak, an aching cry spills out of me.
With everything else going down in this basement, like the boom box and the orgy, I’m barely audible.
But these two are so tuned into me right now that they hear every sound.
Jae pounces on my open mouth and devours me in a kiss that’s deep enough to let me feel his fangs, the wolfish incisors that sprout from his palate, pressing into my lip. Draco’s hands slide up my inner thighs and splay my legs wide for him. Cool basement air hits the damp gusset of my panties.
Draco’s thumbs slide along the edge of the soaked silk. Holy cow, I feel so exposed. That flimsy scrap is clinging to my girly parts, and the musky note of my own intimate scent joins the miasma of mating scents we’re all pumping out.
When I squirm under his touch and moan into Jae’s kiss, Draco’s touch skates over the silk that clings to my plump folds, then grazes the swollen nub of my clit.
