It ate away at him. Bogged him down, darkened his soul.

My heart ached for him. All I wanted to do was figure out a way to take some of that pain away, convince him that he could trust me. That his brothers didn’t need his protection and whatever happened to Chance was not his fault.

I felt every ounce of his heavily restrained agony as he continued to kiss me, with every sweep of his tongue against mine, in the tightening grip of his fingers on my jaw.

Maybe that was why no matter how much he had spurned me in the beginning, I remained drawn to him, as hard as I tried not to be. As much as I said to myself that I was just going to ignore his moods and pretend he didn’t exist.

It was impossible not to feel that intense force of nature, that magnanimous presence and that perpetual storm cloud that followed him around. And despite my dislike for storms, I was like a moth to a flame with this one, the thunderous man with the slate-gray eyes.

We kissed hungrily, as though our mouths had been apart for years and we hadn’t kissed and had sex twice earlier today.

“Fucking hell, Kitten,” he murmured, leaving me panting and starry-eyed when he finally broke the kiss. “What are you doing to me?”

“We told you, bro,” Rix said, breaking the tension that Zane had created when he kissed me like I was the cause and answer to every one of his problems. “You wasted so much time being angry when you could have been getting your dick sucked by this perfect human.”

I looked at Rix over my shoulder and beamed, grateful for not only his praise but for his ability to lighten the mood.

This was supposed to be fun, a distraction for all of us from the chaos that was closing in on us like a raging wildfire, determined to demolish and destroy everything in its path.

This time tomorrow, I might not recognize them. This time tomorrow, they might try to kill me.

Fear of what was to come clawed up my throat, and I sucked in a rattly breath.

“Hey,” Jorik said, concern etched across his face as he tilted my chin so I could look at him. “Where’d you go? What’s wrong?”

I smiled grimly, forcing the corners of my lips to lift, but it was a struggle. “I’m okay.”

“No, you’re not,” Zane said, his tone harsh. “What just happened?”

Sitting back on my heels, I let my gaze caress each one of their faces before focusing on my fingers knitted in my naked lap. “I was just letting my thoughts wander to what tomorrow night is going to be like. And the next night. And the next night.” I lifted my eyes again. “Is tonight all we have?”

Understanding dawned in each of their eyes, and their expressions turned as grim as I was sure mine was.

Jorik’s grasp on my chin tightened, and he brought his mouth to mine for a sweet, soft kiss. “Tonight will not be all we have, Angel. I promise you. Just like you said, we’ll get through this together. Whatever happens.”

“Now that I’ve had you, Wildcat, no way am I going to let withdrawals, no matter how psycho and blood-crazy they make me, keep me from you.” Rix’s gaze hit me hard in the heart. “Knowing that this mouth, pussy, ass and heart are waiting for me is all the incentive I need to get to the other side.”

My mouth twitched, and a real, true smile broke free. “You say the sweetest things,” I teased, which made Rix break into a room-brightening smile, confirming my new nickname for him,Handsome, tenfold. He really was beautiful. Like a work of art. A sculpture cut from marble.

“We don’t just have tonight, Angel,” Jorik said. “But Idothink we should make the mostoftonight. So we all have amazing memories to fall back on when we’re lost in hell, searching for a way out. Don’t you?”

I nodded and took his offered hand, shuffling on my knees over to where he knelt. “Make me feel nothing but amazing tonight … please.”

His twin dimples dug into his cheeks as he smiled. “Well, when you ask so nicely…”

I smiled wide back at him.

With our fingers intertwined on one hand, Jorik laid me back on a blanket Rix had just spread out, and he covered me. His hard length crushed against my already swollen pussy as he claimed my lips in a bruising, soul-shattering kiss that pushed every worrisome thought from my head in a blissful sigh.

His kisses possessed me, and my legs hitched up, locking around his waist as he sank into my core and began to pump.

I clawed at his back, arching beneath him as every thrust had his pelvic bone scraping against my clit in a way that had me seeing stars.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spied Rix and Zane kneeling beside me, their stiff cocks in their hands as they lazily stroked themselves.

I licked my lips and nodded at Rix. “Fill me up some more.”

His grin was wily and wicked, but he complied, shuffling over until his knees knocked the side of my head. Levering over me so that he was perpendicular over my head, he slid his cock into my mouth and began to fuck my face.
