watching the display with burning eyes. It was only when Jai’s finger slid inwards that he moved.
Our gasps were synchronised, my lover sliding through my wetness like a hot knife through butter. He found my clit unerringly, circling it, grazing it, but not giving it the good, solid stroke it needed.
“Jai…”
He just kept on as he was, slow, incidental nudges that sent explosions through my body, slick leaking as my body begged for more. Zane’s fingers dug into the bed, the other hand sliding down his pants, stroking himself with the kind of firm, brisk strokes I craved.
“Jai…”
“Tell me what you want, love.”
“How the fuck are you holding out on her, man?” Zane asked with a strangled groan. “She smells like good sex and bad decisions. I wanna lick her like an ice cream cone.”
I wriggled, trying to push his fingers inside me, against my clit, anywhere that would get me where I wanted to be. I could feel the gown starting to get soaked, achieving our goal, but not mine.
“Say it. Tell the kitty exactly what you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
“I…”
“C’mon, baby. Communication is gonna be important, especially in the heat of the moment. You dreamed of me like I dreamed of you, didn’t you? Tell me what I did in your mind, late at night, when I was padding past your window, listening to your little stifled moans. Tell him.”
“You…” It was so hard, as he was so distracting. I realised this was probably deliberate, but I was drowning in Jai—his scent, the feel of him beneath me, the thick lump of his cock, which he studiously kept away from me, and those damn fucking fingers. He played me like he knew me, like he’d seen every bloody thought in my mind that I’d had about him and was deliberately holding me back. “Your teeth…”
“That’s it. Tell me.”
“Your teeth were in my skin.” I felt his lips peel back, his tongue snaking out to lick my flesh. “You bit down.” I shivered when he did just that. “Not hard, just firmly. Holding me in place. Showing me, showing everyone that I was yours.”
“Mm…” he said, letting my skin go. “I like that idea.”
“Your hand slid down between my legs.”
“Sounds right. It’s where it likes to go.” I was rewarded with a couple of brisk flicks of my clit, forcing me to stop talking and just breathe. “Keep going, baby. This story is the best.”
“Your fingers are thick and long. I’ve noticed that when you weren’t looking, watch them wrap around bottles of beer or women’s arms at the pub.” He stiffened a little at that. “I could sense it, what they would feel like when you pushed them into me when I stared at them. Sometimes you caught me at it.”
“So that’s what it was? I’d get this fucking whiff of your arousal but I… Keep talking, baby.”
But I couldn’t. He was doing just that, dipping two of them inside me, just teasing little touches, but denying me the full thrust of his hand deliberately. I groaned instead, a pleading, begging thing, hoping that was enough for him, but it wasn’t. His free hand pinched my nipple hard.
“Focus. I’ll give you what you want if you tell me, Shan. Now open your eyes and see the audience you’ve got. Tell him what you want me to do to you.”
Zane’s face had changed when I did as I was told. There was something of his beast in the cast of his face, his expression. It was like his facial features had flattened down and simplified to reveal something hungry.
“Get her there,” he snarled.
“You don’t make the calls. I’ll have you on your arse so fucking fast, your head will spin.” Something clenched inside me at the feel of Jai’s alpha whip. “She’s mine, not yours. Not until she says so, and she hasn’t said so.”
Zane’s lips peeled back to reveal sharper fangs.
“I can taste her need. You’re hurting her.”
“I can’t hurt her, not anymore. There’s only her. I’ll walk away from anything and anyone for Shannon. She’s my heart made flesh.”
I couldn’t make a sound other than a strangled groan as his fingers pinched at my clit, worrying it with a cruel grip that just had my thighs splaying wide. Pulses built deep inside me, slick flowing freely, readying me for him. But instead, I put my cunt on display for another shifter to stare at like it was the crown jewels, while he stroked his
