trying to kiss him again. His finger tightened, holding her exactly where she was.
“Yeah, but you won’t let me hit you with it,” she grumbled and sighed. No use lying about it. She couldn’t hide her arousal any more than they could. “I do want my clothes off and Colm can put his mouth anywhere he wants.”
“If I let you hit me with the blast, I might not be in any shape to enjoy our first night in the same room. I definitely don’t want to miss that. We’ve waited too long to have you where you belong. Nothing’s going to delay that now.” Colm smiled and sat down on the bed to take off his boots.
Linc set her on her feet at the foot of the bed. His hand roamed over her ass, cupping the curve and pulling her against him for a breath before he stepped back. She slid her hands over his sides and up his chest. His heat warmed her palms even through the fabric of his shirt. He clasped her wrists in a firm grip and drew her hands to her side.
“Why don’t you get undressed and crawl onto the bed? We’ll join you there.” He dropped a kiss on her forehead.
“All right, but if I’m alone too long, I might just change my mind again.” She grinned and started unbuttoning her shirt.
“It won’t take us that long to join you.” Colm shook his head. “You’re lagging, woman. Get to it. We can’t join you if you’re not on the bed.”
She laughed. They were so strange sometimes. What did it matter who got onto the bed first? Just from their expressions, she knew they wouldn’t budge on this. Her shirt hit the ground and she worked at the catches on her skirt for a moment before they opened. The skirt pooled at her feet and she toed off her slippers. She climbed onto the bed and began crawling toward the headboard.
Heat ran over her skin as well as a tingling pressure that seemed to surround her. Her magic rose and pulsed. She only then realized that the feeling was caused by some kind of spell. She turned back to face them. What was that? She wasn’t afraid.
It didn’t seem to have much of an effect. It had to have come from them. She doubted that they wouldn’t have felt something from that magic. Colm frowned and his eyes flicked from her to Linc and then back. Linc scowled and his arms crossed over his chest. He stared at Colm. Both men seemed to have forgotten what they were doing before the magic hadn’t worked. She eased back on the bed and braced her shoulders against the headboard as she watched them.
“Have you decided what went wrong yet? You’re obviously having a conversation that I can’t hear.” She tilted her head. Her hands shook with nervousness. To hide the movement, she looped her arms over her knees. She hoped the calm, poised appearance fooled them. Confusion and anger began to sweep over her. What had they been trying to do?
Colm straightened and his eyes locked on her. Maybe her tone had given him some hint that she wasn’t as unaffected as she appeared. They could have warned her if they were going to be doing something with magic to her. She was still adjusting to what the magic in that crystal had begun. Who knows what more would do?
“I don’t think anything went wrong. Not as you mean. I think we’re going to have to adjust for the strong magic you possess.” Colm shrugged. “But that can wait until another time.”
Her chin lifted and she narrowed her eyes. “What were you trying to do?”
Linc climbed onto the bed. He put his arms around her and drew her into a hug. With a little work, he unwrapped her arms and put them around his neck. Once she was so close to him, it was impossible to maintain the distance. Leaning back, she gave him a fierce frown.
“What was the spell for, Linc?” She stiffened her arms to keep him from pulling her close.
The bed dipped in back of her. Tossing a quick look over her shoulder, Cami saw Colm moving in behind her. Damn. She hadn’t forgotten about Colm, but she forgot that when she dealt with one, the other was likely to get involved too. Colm’s hands settled on her shoulders, massaging gently.
“That’s a surprise for you when it happens.” Colm rubbed his cheek against her
