I’ve been forced apart from my guys, from the most concrete manifestation of our connection, for too long. And I can tell they feel it too.
But one of them isn’t ready to act on that longing.
Zian must sense the shift in the air, because he straightens up with a slosh of the water. Even in the dimness, I can tell his peachy-brown skin has taken on a ruddier cast that I don’t think is just because of the bath.
“I can giveyouguys some privacy,” he says in a rough voice, turning to heft himself out.
Jacob stops him with a hand on his arm. His blue eyes blaze with sudden intensity.
“What if you could be a part of it too? Without risking any of the things you’re scared of?”
Zian’s gaze jerks to him, his eyes widening. “What are you talking about?”
Jake pauses as if he’s still figuring that out himself. He glances at me with a look so scorching my nerves tingle.
Then he turns back to Zee. “Use us. We can be your hands, your mouth. Tell us what you’d want to do to her, and we’ll do it for you. Like you’re acting through us. That would work without setting anything off in you, wouldn’t it?”
A fresh wave of heat courses through me at the idea.
Zian draws in a breath, his pupils dilating with unfulfilled hunger. “That would— I mean?—”
His gaze sears into mine. “Would you even be okay with that?”
Every nerve in my body is trembling with anticipation. I’ve collided with Dominic and Andreas at the same time before, but only the once. And never more than the two of them.
The possibilities flooding my head light me up from the inside out.
“Yes. If you’d like it too.”
Zian’s next inhalation comes shakily. The other guys remain silent, Andreas’s hand gone still by my cheek, all of us giving Zee the space he needs to come to his decision.
He wets his lips, the smolder in his dark eyes deepening. Then he nods to Drey.
“Kiss her. Kiss her until she’s squirming for more.”
A sly grin curves Andreas’s mouth, and he tips my chin up so my lips can meet his.
It doesn’t take much for him to summon a needy whimper out of me. His mouth claims mine with weeks of bottled passion neither of us has had the chance to really let out.
I clutch at his coiled hair and kiss him back hard. My lips part instantly at the flick of his tongue, welcoming him in.
Through the eager thundering of my pulse, Zian’s voice reaches my ears, gone ragged. “Dominic, you know how to make her squirm too, don’t you? Touch her—everywhere she likes it.”
Dominic chuckles softly and presses a kiss to the peak of my shoulder. Both his tentacles glide around me, one across my back and the other over my belly, the suckers stroking my skin in a multitude of puckered kisses.
His hand glides over my chest at the same time. When he swipes one thumb over the tip of my breast, my breath stutters into Drey’s mouth.
As I arch into Dom’s touch, Andreas makes an urgent sound low in his throat and deepens our kiss. Our tongues tangle together, bliss racing through me from the melding of our mouths all the way down my body over the terrain Dominic is caressing.
Dom massages my breast with swivels of his thumb over the peak until my nipple is straining stiff against the fabric of my bra. A growl escapes me with the growing ache between my thighs.
I pull my mouth from Andreas’s and catch Zian’s gaze for just an instant. Hoping he can feel through the heated glance how happy I’d be if he really were joining in too.
Then I can’t help seeking out Dominic’s lips, pulling him tighter against me.
Jacob hasn’t moved toward me yet, but his words travel over the water in a low purr that sets the shadows in my veins shivering twice as giddily. “Look at how much she’s enjoying it, Zee. You’ve got three mouths to work with. Six hands. A couple of tentacles as a bonus.”
He stops, and his voice dips even farther. “Why don’t we get her out of the water so you can see just how well she’s responding?”
