Compounding Traumas (Artemis University #6) - Erin R Flynn Page 0,111

my neck again. “Thank you for giving me what I need.”

It was still a bit awkward, so I tried for amusing. “So where did we land on that second round?”

We landed with me flat on my back on the kitchen table, naked and screaming his name. Well, that worked out well for me.

And him, from the way he was smiling when he made coffee.

“So the way to turn a prickly pear into a smiling guy is lots of hot sex?”

He snorted. “I think that’s true for any man if he got even a fraction of the hot sex we have.”

Damn. Just dayumn.

“Uh-huh. What do you want?” I teased, my eyes going wide when he flinched. I had kept my telepathy off, and I didn’t think he’d ever butter me up.

He seemed to understand where my mind went because he set down the bag of coffee and came over to me. “I meant what I said. This is separate. There is something I want, so it seemed—sorry.” He brushed his lips over mine, but accepted when I didn’t want to do more.

“What do you want?” I asked, my tone softer this time.

“I want you to invite Lucca over,” he admitted, smirking when I couldn’t hide my shock. He moved his hands along my arms and under his shirt to cup my breasts. He teased them and my nipples. “I want to see him fuck you, Tamsin. I want to see your mate, the bear who completely eats out of the palm of your hand and you’ve tamed, fuck my gorgeous girlfriend.”

I worried my lower lip even as I pushed my breasts into his hands more. “But this was our weekend. I thought we could use the time?”

He nodded. “We had last night and maybe he can’t get away. We’ll have it again.” He gave me a soft kiss as he pinched my nipples. “I want to see it, but I—this is a delicate balance, agra. You’re my girlfriend, and I love you, but you’re his mate. Vampires don’t have mates like shifters and dragons do. We don’t have huge flags, but subtle signs like witches and warlocks.”

“I won’t dump you for him,” I promised. “I’m, um, yeah, that anyways.”

“A comitessa,” he said for me. “I know. I just want to make sure I share you and welcome your mate so we stay on good terms and he welcomes me always.” One of his hands moved lower and fingered me. “Plus, I want to see him fuck my girlfriend’s tight pussy. I’m shocked that it does it for me, but I like watching you with the men you care for and who treat you well.”

“Weirdo,” I panted as I spread my legs for him. “Because I’d fucking gut you if you even touched another woman. I’d lose—”

He snorted. “You are the only one who puts up with me and needs glasses, Tamsin. I don’t want another woman, and I’m not the one with a line and—”

“I am not the only one with self-esteem issues in this relationship,” I snapped, toning it back when he flinched. “Sorry, but you’re a bit dismissive of me when I’ve brought this up in the past.” I shook my head when he went to argue. “I hear thoughts, Darby. You are incredibly popular. You’re just unapproachable, and no one likes to get shot down.”

He studied my eyes a moment and licked his lips. “I hear you, and I’m sorry I’ve been dismissive. It’s just hard to believe when I’ve been torn down so much, especially at that school. I’ve not seen any evidence of what you’re saying. None.”

“Oh? And you paid such attention before me? Sitting in the corner alone, reading a book, while basically holding up a sign that said ‘fuck off?’”

His lips twitched. “That’s not unfair.” He reached over to grab my phone I hadn’t realized he’d brought down from the counter … While keeping his fingers in me. He handed it to me and smirked. “Call your mate.”

I nodded, getting the game. I yanked off his shirt and spread my legs as I called Lucca, rewarded with another finger and Darby’s lips on my nipple.

“Hey, hi,” Lucca answered. “I didn’t expect to hear from you this weekend. You said you had a thing.”

“I do, and he’s currently finger fucking me,” I moaned. “But he asked I invited you because he really, really wants to watch you fuck me all over my house. He worked hard to convince me, naked on my kitchen table.” I
