“Yes,” I hiss. There’s another pause where Luke continues to admire, not touching me, still watching as though I’m about to come under his heated gaze alone. I’m so turned on it’s painful, and Luke doing nothing but watching me squirm for blessed friction, for blessed release, is a cruelty so aching it should be punishable.

But finally — finally — Luke lowers his head. Behind my curls, I feel the soft blunt tip of his nose pressing gently at my folds. It’s such a small move, such a delicate act, and yet it’s enough for me to throw my head back into the pillows behind me.

Everything goes to fuck the moment he puts his mouth on me.

The anticipation I’ve felt for this, for Luke’s full mouth on my cunt, is so intense that the instant it happens, I’m jerking like a stringed puppet, my body contorting, my limbs flailing. He mouths the hardened bead of my clit like it’s a toy, and I cry out, my legs spread, thrusting my hips into Luke’s hot mouth, experiencing the transfer of heat from me to him and back again. He captures all of me between his plump lips, suckling me like I’m the most succulent fruit, a rarity, a nectar, a treat from the gods sent for him to devour.

I’m slick and wet all over, as Luke’s tongue paints stripes across my cunt. His tongue delves deeper into me, circling my entrance before the warm thrust of him pushes inside. Softness jabs at me, widening me, making me clench around Luke’s seeking tongue. My thighs tremble beside his ears, I can barely hold myself up.

When I reach my hand down, urgent, to touch my clit, Rory makes his presence known again with a firm, “No.”

“But—”

“No.” It’s sharp, severe. It’s a line not to be crossed, a position never to be debated. “The others are permitted to taste. But tonight,Imake you come.”

The arrogance. The possessiveness. The selfishness.

It’s breathtaking.

And yet heat sears straight to the pit of my stomach, scorching me like the streaking tail of a comet. Warmth explodes in my belly, scattering up and down every nerve ending in my body. My calves curl around Luke’s muscled back, the soles of my feet walking down the long path of his spine before planting themselves firmly on Luke’s backside. My toes dig into the thick flesh beneath, and for some reason it’s this more than anything else that parts Luke’s hot lips and makes him groan unconsciously into me.

The sound is enough for me to strain upward, clutching at Luke’s head. I’m rough, rougher than Luke deserves, but the pressure of his mouth has me hovering close to the edge andfuckRory, seriously, absolutelyfuckhim, but I want to come, I need to come…

Luke plunges his tongue into me, and I cry out in frustration. I’m so close. I try to pull his head upward, try to make him ignore Rory’s order, but Luke’s steadfast. He’s loyal. He licks me teasingly at my entrance, peppers kisses along my folds, and neglects my clit entirely.

“Please,” I whisper to no one in particular, but the message is received by Rory. “I want… I want…”

“Stop.”

Luke freezes on my cunt. He stops moving completely, his tongue caught between the satin of my lower lips, in a show of devotion not just to me but to his fellow chief.

“I fear you’ve been too good,” Rory declares obnoxiously, and as another cocky smile begins to split Luke’s face, I want to laugh. I really want to laugh, and to drag Luke’s head back onto me, and to tell Rory to get fucked.

But I love that boy. I love his pettiness and his possessiveness. I love that I’m his and he’s mine, and that he allows me to do this with his friends.

“So let’s have someone who hasn’t got a fucking clue what they’re doing.”

In the background, Rory snaps his fingers.

Annoyance glitters on Luke’s face. “Are you joking?” he asks in a low voice, twisting around to glare at Rory. It’s the closest I’ve seen him lose his chill. From this angle, I see the bulge sticking out prominently from his smart dress pants. “She was so close.Iwas so close.”

“I’m well aware,” Rory says coolly, and turns his attention in Danny’s direction with another abrupt snap of his fingers. “You there. Yes, you. Get on the bed and kiss her.”
