know.”
I snort, which would normally be something I might be embarrassed about, but really, there’s no topping what just went down with the wings and the hips and the tulle around my shoulders instead of my waist.
I shake my head as I look into Toreon’s golden gaze. “I was doing the same thing. I knew you needed time to mourn and adjust, to feel safe here with Ire and me. I was trying to give you time to be okay and not push myself all over you like some lunatic incapable of thinking of anything other than the orgasms she wants.”
Toreon and Vudu both chuckle, and I release a sigh.
“So you do still want me, no second thoughts about the whole mate thing?”
“Never,” Toreon and Vudu both say at the same time, and I laugh. I bring my hands up to scrub at my face to rid the remaining tension, but I quickly remember I have makeup on and drop them.
Toreon wraps a loose strand of my hair around his finger and then nods like he’s come to some kind of conclusion before looking at Vudu again. “We need to make this right, V. We need to make sure our mate knows how much we want her. How glad we are that we have her forever.”
“About fucking time,” Vudu grunts.
“Oh,” I chirp out in surprise as Vudu turns me in his arms until my back is to his front, and even with my wings, he’s able to hold me like that, his body wide and tall. Toreon steps directly in front of me, and I feel both sets of eyes drinking me in, their gazes falling to my chest that’s rising and falling in rapid succession.
“How long do you think we have?” Vudu asks behind me.
“We could probably get away with fifteen minutes,” Toreon says, and Vudu growls in displeasure.
Toreon laughs. “It’s okay, we’ll take our time with her later. For now, let’s just show her how beautiful she is. How wanted.” He steps closer to me until we’re chest-to-chest, and with a teasing touch, he traces the curves of my breasts, instantly making my skin prickle and rise in awareness.
Vudu makes a noise of agreement and then moves his hand to begin tracing over the curve of one wing. I shiver in response, just as Toreon cups my face and presses his lips against mine.
My mouth opens to him, my heart hammering in my chest as my baffled mind tries to catch up. This is happening. They’re touching me. They want me.
I nearly whimper when Toreon’s tongue swipes against mine, and then he tilts my head to take me deeper, like he wants all of me. It reminds me of our first kiss, of the way our souls seemed to meet, drawn inexplicably together and burning with want.
He hums as he pulls away, and I try to follow him, but he steps back. “More,” I tell him, my voice already breathless, but I don’t want air. I want him.
“You’re getting more,” he promises. “Much, much more. But we don’t have time to worship your body the way we want right now, and our first time shouldn't be rushed in your Sire’s house. So we’re going to take the edge off, and then we’ll worship you properly later.”
I swallow hard, my eyes going wide when Toreon lowers himself onto his knees in front of me. How he makes that look so sexy, I have no idea. “You’re much better at seduction than me,” I say quietly.
Toreon grins as his hands grasp the hem of my skirt. “I disagree. You seduce us simply by being.”
I bite my lip as he slowly lifts my skirt up all the way to my hips. “Hold this there. Don’t let go.”
I follow his order instantly, my hands dropping to hold the layers of tulle up, my eyes watching in rapt fascination as he starts to run his hands up my thighs. While he does that, I feel Vudu start to dip and stroke the curves of my wings, and I nearly jolt when he hits a particularly sensitive part.
“What is with these wings?” I murmur.
I feel Vudu smile into my neck when his mouth comes down to lay a kiss behind my ear. “Our wings are erogenous zones,” he says in his sexy rasp. “And I intend to learn every single inch of yours to see exactly how you like to be touched.”
Heat spreads to my core at his words, and right then, Toreon’s fingers
