the pleasure began to build inside me.
“Let me hear it,” Kellen demanded as he thrust hard. “Let me feel it.”
He knew me so well—recognized that I was on the brink. He lowered his head to my neck and ran his fangs along my skin. With a quick bite, he pierced my skin and drew the blood in a way that caused my utter surrender.
My body vibrated with pleasure—shook beneath Chase’s mouth and around Kellen’s shaft. With a loud roar of completion, Kellen ended with a final thrust as his climax meshed with mine.
I yielded to Kellen and to Chase as I realized I had never truly lived, never really been satisfied or known pure love.
Until now.
Chapter Ten
The plane skidded across the runway. I glanced to my phone once again—ten missed calls, four texts, all between the hours of one and three, and all clearly displayed Mike’s frustrations.
“I didn’t even hear the phone at all.” I said to Chase.
He chuckled and his brow arched up sultry. “Wonder why that would be?”
I leaned up, took his lips in a soft butterfly kiss. “Hmm, I was a little preoccupied.”
When I backed away from Chase’s mouth, Kellen stretched his legs out in front of him. “A damn fine preoccupation it was.” I grinned as I leaned away from Chase. I felt like a woman who been taken to cloud nine and back again. When I settled back in my seat, I glanced down and dreaded the phone call ahead of me. “Better just get this over with.”
Just as I started tapping the keys, Chase put his hand over mine. “Let me.”
My gaze connected with his and I saw a very amused smile planted on his face. Of course, he would enjoy this. I wasn’t opposed to him taking the wheel here. The conversation with Mike wasn’t going to be a pleasant one.
Chase reached into his pocket, grabbed his phone to look at it, then grinned at me.
“Ten here too.” He dialled and raised the phone to his ear.
It only took two rings before Mike’s enrage voice blared through the speaker.
“Where the fuck are you?”
“I was helping Hadley and Kellen investigate the mental hospitals,” Chase answered, calm and collected. “Why? Have you been trying to reach us?”
“I have been trying to reach you both for two fucking hours,” Mike roared. Even without my super vamp hearing I’d still be able to hear him. The yelling might have had something to do with that.
Chase smiled wide at me, but his voice showed no hint of amusement. “Really? The reception must have been down.”
Mike grumbled something incoherent that sounded like a curse word. “Just get back to the station.” After a slight pause, he finished, “Now.”
“Ten-four.” Chase lowered the phone from his ear and ended the call.
“Ooohh, I’ve never heard him so pissed.” I laughed.
“Obviously, something’s up,” Chase agreed. “Well, other than the fact that two women are missing.”
Shame landed hard. I’d been so happy, so wrapped up in all this personal stuff, I forgot why we were all together in the first place. What had I been thinking? We were off gallivanting when we held the lives of two women in our hands. The reminder put a damper on my good mood and settled me into guilt.
Kellen sighed as the plane’s engine cut, quieting the hum in the air. “Hadley, you have nothing to feel guilty about. This had to be done.”
I stood immediately and followed Kellen out of the plane with Chase right on my heels. Of course, Kellen would sense my mood immediately. I said nothing in response. I did feel guilt and deservedly so.
“I hope you enjoyed your flight,” the pilot smiled at me as I stepped out of the cabin door.
I nodded.
Before I could say anything, Kellen interjected. “You went for a leisurely flight to test the speed of your jet.” The pilot’s eyes glazed over as he stared at Kellen. “You were thrilled with this mighty machine you have spent your life savings on.”
The pilot nodded. “Need for speed.”
“That is truly fucking incredible.” Chase snorted. He placed his hand on my lower back and ushered me toward Kellen’s waiting car. Once there, he opened the back door for me and I snuck into the backseat as he climbed into the front beside Kellen.
Guess the two were getting on very well now. I suppose seeing each other naked could settle any remaining hostility between them. They shared and shared well. Maybe camaraderie had been born.
Suddenly distracting me from my thoughts, a beep
