“He’s so soft,” Radley whispers. She scratches his ear, and Bryce makes a rumbling sound in his chest, making Radley giggle. “Do you like that?”
“You’re going to spoil him,” Mason says dryly, walking to stand beside her. “Are you okay?”
Radley continues to pet Bryce, almost like it has a calming effect on her. She contemplates her answer and nods. “Surprisingly, yes. Seeing the wolf at first was scary as hell, but I guess it’s because I didn’t truly understand how big you guys actually are. Please don’t be mad at Bryce. I’m the one who asked to see his wolf.”
“I guess I can forgive him,” Mason answers. Bryce lifts his head and licks right up Mason’s face. Radley and I start dying laughing. Mason wipes the drool off with the back of his hand. “You’re going to pay for that, Little beta.”
Bryce huffs and slowly gets to his feet. Radley’s eyes widen, but she doesn’t look scared anymore. I see the intent in Bryce’s eyes, so I gently grab her arm and pull her to stand beside me. Bryce lunges for Mason, hitting him square in the chest with his head. Mason goes airborne but shifts mid-air, so when he lands on his feet, he’s in full wolf form. Radley sucks in a breath and clutches my bicep. Bryce yelps and takes off, running the other way with Mason on his heels.
“Is Bryce going to be okay?” Radley asks worriedly.
I chuckle. “Yeah. They’re just playing. It happens all the time.”
I lead her to the picnic table and help her sit on the top. She scoots until her leg is touching mine, and my body reactsto being this close to her. Bryce was right when he said that her scent had been imprinted on all of us after the night she watched us chase Bryce through the woods. We watch Mason and Bryce play fighting in the distance, but I’m hyper-aware of everything she’s feeling. Excitement, curiosity, happiness, and the one that stands out the most, making it hard to concentrate, is arousal. She’s turned on by what she’s seeing and feeling. She’s turned on byme.She’s so in tune with us now that she doesn’t even realize when she slips into our subconscious.
“Radley,” I rasp. “You know when we told you we could feel you through the bond?”
“Yes.”
“It’s much stronger now that you’ve let us in.”
“Oh. That’s cool…wait. Do you know what I was just thinking?”
“We all do. It’s like you’re speaking directly to us.”
“Oh,” she breathes, her face heating. “Why can’t I hear you guys?”
“We’ve learned to shield ours.”
Radley laughs, but it comes out husky. “I might need to learn how to do that.”
“Please don’t.”
Radley turns to look at me, and her eyes flash to my lips. She licks hers, and I track the movement greedily. I lean in closer, giving her a chance to back out. She sucks in a breath, and I feel her pulling away.
Then her lips are on mine.
Chapter 8
Radley
Holy shit.
I don’t know what came over me. One second, I’m watching Mason and Bryce’s wolves wrestle around, and the next, I’m so turned on that my panties are soaked. That’s never happened to me before. Then you add in Nash’s deep voice, asking me not to block my thoughts, and I was fucking gone.
The spark I could feel when one of them touched me is magnified now that Nash’s lips are on mine. I pressed my lips against his before I knew what I was doing, but I’m not taking it back now. Especially since he growled deep in his chest and deepened it. His tongue moves expertly against mine, and I want to get closer. I twist without breaking the kiss and clamber onto his lap. Nash’s hands land on my hips, laying against the bare skin where my shirt has ridden up.
I wrap my arms around his neck, and my hips start moving on their own, grinding my pussy against his hard cock. I have no idea who I am right now. I’m not the one to make the first move, and I’m definitely not the one to dry hump a guy because I’m so turned on that my clit is throbbing. I feel like if I don’t come soon, I’ll explode.
I feel a tingling in my mind and then I’m slammed with Nash’s feelings. He’s opened his mind to me, and it’s filled with joy and lust. I see myself in his eyes and know how beautiful he thinks I am. I grind against him again, and his hands slide down to my ass. Nash tightens his hold and jerks me closer, pushing his hips and pulling me down. I moan and jerk my lips away from his.
“Fuck, you’re amazing,” Nash says. His voice has taken on that animalistic tone, and his eyes are glowing. It turns me on even more, and I want to strip my clothes off and ride him. “Not yet.”
I’m confused for a second until I realize he knows what I’m thinking. There’s no use in hiding it, no matter how embarrassed I am, so I go with the truth. “I need to come.”
“I’ll get you there, Pup, but you need to know everything before we have sex.” I groan in frustration, but that doesn’t stop my hips from moving. Nash easily lifts me from his lap and turns me around so my back is to his chest. He lays his hand on the button of my jeans. “Are you sure?”
“Please.”
