"He hasn't been very possessive so far, the opposite really."
"What's he like in bed?"
"We are all here in the car with you. Which means that we can all hear your conversation," Raiden said, as he spun in his seat to throw a glare at us both. We broke out in giggles at finding his button.
"Oh, he is prickly like my dragon, too," Brook said. "You didn't used to be, Rai. Is it sharing her with others that brings it out?"
"Brook—" I smacked her and gave her the look only best friends shared. By the scent of fire in the car, I imagined we had hit enough of his buttons for one night. I was sure Lex didn't want his SUV to be ruined by him breathing fire or shifting into a dragon. She dissolved into a fit of laughter, falling back into the seat.
"It's true, though," she whispered once she pulled herself together. "Are you sex crazed? Because the guys swear it isn't an Unseelie power, but I am sex crazed when they are around. Maybe it is a mate thing?"
I rolled my eyes at her. When had my bookish friend grown into someone confident enough to talk about sex in a car full of men she had just met, except for Raiden? It was normally me talking about guys. Sure, part of it was a front, so she wouldn't wonder where I went at night, but she used to turn red and change the subject if I got too graphic.
"I've been a little busy to be sex crazed." My gaze flicked to the back of Alastor's head, knowing what we had done while they were all away.
"It is a stress reliever if you do it right. A must before battles to help you focus on more than how hot they look fighting." She sighed, and I was pretty sure she was talking from experience. Now I knew how she felt when I would talk about my escapades before they had kidnapped her.
"Raiden is right. We can save this conversation for later," I said.
"I think she is probably right." Lex broke his silence, and I met his eyes in the mirror. "I know that watching you move while you fight is distracting."
Warmth spread into my belly, and my pussy walls clenched at the memory of riding him.
"Personally, I wanted to hear more about the sex before battle thing, too." Bellamy twisted in his seat again.
His ardent gaze slid to me, and he let his intense crimson orbs dropped to trace my curves, before he brought his attention back to my eyes. Hot lust shot through me, and I was pretty sure if he didn't turn it off, my best friend would have a demonstration on exactly what sex did to me before a fight. Between him and Lex, I was ready.
"Bell," I warned.
He smirked and held his palms out. "I'm not doing anything."
My nipples pebbling beneath my shirt told a different story. My whole body was ready to climb over the seat and straddle him. All it took was a single look.
"If he was using his ability, your friend wouldn't be immune," Alastor defended him.
Their eyes locked in a silent conversation that I felt like I only caught part of. They definitely had some stuff to work out.
"You all need to have an orgy." Brook leaned back, observing us.
"When did you become an expert?" I laughed, forcing myself to release the desire that was riding me hard.
"Let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Brook, and I am a sex-crazed Unseelie. All I needed to unlock my powers was four hot guys. Looks like you have a similar power. Don't fight it." She patted my leg.
"I like your friend," Bellamy said.
CHAPTER 16
Bellamy
We piled out of the metal death trap about a block from the designated warehouse. The streets were dark and silent as we moved through them. I could feel the horde up ahead. This was my battle, as the future King, not that I had fully accepted that role yet. The jury was still out on if I wanted it. But if I did, then the horde was my responsibility, and I should demand they returned to Tartus.
It didn't help to have Samantha at my side to convince them. I had enough faith in the men she had surrounded herself with to know that she was safe. They might want her for some reason we hadn't figured out, but they wouldn't get her. Not with us around.
"I should go in alone," I murmured as we got closer. "I'm the Prince, they won't question it."
"But what if they do? You've been fighting against them this whole time." Samantha's hand landed on my bicep, holding me back. I shifted on my heels to face her.
"The horde is fickle. They know that one day I could fight at your side, and the next, I could hand you over. It is normal behavior for my kind," I admitted.
