Page 126 of Their Dangerous Game
My eyes pop open to Luke sitting on the edge of my bed. “What’s going on?”
“Happy birthday, princess.” Luke hands me a small box.
Someone lies down behind me, and my eyes widen. I look over my shoulder at Caden. He has his ankles crossed and his hands behind his head as he winks.
“Morning, little nympho. You get two escorts from now on.” Caden pulls me closer to him, even though he’s on top of the covers I’m under.
Luke kicks off his shoes and lies on my other side. Heat creeps up my neck.
“Aren’t you guys a little early?” I want to run into the bathroom and brush everything. I’m so not a morning person.
“Your mom woke us.” Luke reaches over and straightens my camisole strap. Shivers ripple through me. “Since we were already awake, figured we’d make the most of it.”
I turn the box over in my hands. “Do I open this now or later?”
“Now,” Caden says.
“Okay, but first I need to use the bathroom.” I look between the guys, needing one to move to let me out. They shrug, and Luke slips off the side.
I brush my teeth and use the bathroom and do the best I can do with my hair before returning to my bedroom.
Caden pats the bed beside him. I swallow as I return to my spot. This isn’t other-side-of-the-camera safe. Luke closes in on me, trapping me between them again. They’re both dressed for the day already, and I feel self-conscious in my pajamas.
Luke hands me the box again. This is really weird, but I take it, curiosity flooding me. Why would they get me a birthday present? Have they done this before? With other girls?
I take off the bow and gently unwrap the gift. What would the horsemen give a girl they’ve claimed for her birthday? Expecting some sort of item to show I’m their property, I open the jewelry box to find a beautiful silver Celtic knot band with a black inlay.
“This is lovely.” I take it out of the box and slide it onto my right ring finger. It fits perfectly. “Thank you.”
I lean over and kiss Luke on the cheek before moving to give Caden the same kiss. Caden turns his head at the last second so that our lips meet. Heat pours through my veins as he draws me in closer until I’m pressed along his side.
He releases my lips and presses my head down against his chest. “Go back to sleep, little nympho. You don’t need to be up for another hour.”
Luke rolls onto his side behind me and spoons me like he did before. I should protest, but they’re both warm, and the weight of their gift feels nice on my finger. I close my eyes as I sink into them.
A hand stroking my thigh wakes me. My pillow is hard and a steady heartbeat echoes in it. I’m tangled up. I open my eyes and see my hand on Caden’s chest.
His chest rumbles under my ear and I peek up at him. He looks like he’s asleep, but then a hand strokes my thigh again. I look down and my thigh is pulled over his, and his hand is lazily stroking up and down.
I become aware of the other beast behind me. His body curls around mine, his erection against my ass and his thigh between mine, pressing against the ache forming. His lips move along the nape of my neck, and I inhale the heady combination of cinnamon and sultry spices. Decadent and tempting.
Caden’s fingertips meet the edge of my shorts. Luke’s arm is around my waist and his hand rests on my stomach. His mouth sucks on the back of my neck, and I release a moan.
His fingers clench into my stomach as Caden’s grip tightens on my thigh. I’m suddenly awake and aroused being wrapped up in two of them. Them pressed against me. Fuck, I’m in trouble, because I don’t want to leave this bed right now.
But I really should. This is dangerous. Playing with fire guaranteed to burst me into flames.
Luke drags a hand across my stomach and over my hip, then slaps my ass. I let out a startled cry. He chuckles. “Get up and ready for school before you make us all late, princess.”
“I don’t mind being late.” Caden shifts and drags me more on top of him so I can feel how much he wants me. “Want to get off first thing on your birthday, little nympho?”
He thrusts his hips up against me. That’s enough to make me scramble to my feet. I throw my hair back as I stand. My strap is down my arm and I fix that.
“Want me to help you shower?” Caden leans up on his elbows and his hot eyes trail over me. “I can help get those hard-to-reach spots.”
Oof, my insides turn to goo. I don’t have the processing speed to deal with two horsemen first thing in the morning. My mouth opens and closes as Caden’s grin widens.
I shake my head. Slowly, I back away and shut myself in the bathroom. As I turn on the shower, I hear dark laughter from my bedroom. Taking a breath, I flick the lock.
