"Can I check your bandages really quick, Zoey? I want to make sure things are ok and that the bleeding has stopped."
She took a sip of her coffee and bite of her sandwich. She gazed at me while she chewed. It seemed like she was deciding whether to say yes or no and I held my breath waiting for her answer. I felt amusement trickle through our pack bond. I hadn't fooled the other two in the slightest. My heart skipped a beat when Zoey swallowed and gave me a soft, almost loving smile.
"Sure, Deacon. How do you want me? Should I stay sitting here or do you want me to come over there?"
I swallowed hard as she said my name and resisted the urge to tell her I wanted her in my bed, writhing underneath me, clawing my back as I make her come. Fuck fuck fuck.
"Sitting there is perfectly fine, beautiful one. I'm more than happy to come to you."
Her eyes widened when I called her beautiful and I felt a pain in my heart when I saw disbelieving look on her face. I had the feeling she wasn't used to being complimented and that she didn't believe me. It made me see red to think that other people made her feel like she was lacking in anything.
"Down boy. Just check her arm so we can start getting to the bottom of this." I heard the humor in Ash's voice.
I gave a small snort but moved and knelt back down by her side. I breathed her scent in deep and her eyes watched me closely as I gently moved the bandages. I saw her shiver and goosebumps appeared as my fingers caressed her skin. The bleeding had stopped, which I'd known since the smell of her blood had faded. I just wanted an excuse to touch her again. I reset the bandage and looked up from her arm to her face. Her blue eyes were locked on my face and I saw a desire and hunger there that had absolutely nothing to do with the food.
"How's it looking?" Her voice had a husky tone that made my balls tighten with need.
"The bleeding's stopped, and you're on the way to being healed, precious lady."
She smiled and lifted her hand and cupped my cheek and caressed my cheekbone with her thumb. I leaned into her caress and briefly closed my eyes. Her touch sent tingles through my body. I opened my eyes in surprise when her hand slid to the back of my neck as she pulled me close. Her lips pressed to mine, and a small moan escaped me as her tongue teased my lips to open. There was no way I was gonna tell her no and the feeling of her tongue against mine was like nothing I'd ever felt before. It was fucking heaven.
She pulled me closer to her and my hand slid up her thigh to her hip as I pressed her against the chair. She threaded her hand through my hair and pulled, the slight sting make a growl of pleasure rumble through my chest. Her other hand ran over the muscles of my chest and stopped right in the middle. She gave my lower lip a bite as she pulled away from our kiss and I growled again in need.
"Mmmm, damn Deacon. I knew you looked delicious, but you taste even better than you look." She glanced down at her hand resting on my chest and then back up into my eyes. "I'd wondered back in the party room how it'd feel to feel that deep growl of yours resonate in your chest. And it feels better than I imagined."
She stroked her hand down my chest again and my abs tightened as she brushed her fingers over my stomach before pulling away. My skin felt like it was on fire, and I knew my wolf was in my eyes. I was battling so hard not to mark her as she looked between the three of us and her face turned an adorable shade of red.
"Um… sorry. I don't usually give into impulse like that but really, you guys are all just so irresistible."
I stood up and lightly caressed her cheek before moving back to the other two. Her eyes widened and she licked her lips as she saw how hard all three of us were.
"No apologies needed as long as Ash and I get a kiss like that too." Jer gave her a wink and it helped ease the tension that filled the room.
She laughed and nodded with bright eyes. "Deal. It's not every day that someone like me knows how three very powerful and sexy men like you taste like."
Ash grinned. "Are you sure our mouths are all you want to taste?"
Heat flashed through my body at the thought of her plump lips wrapped around my cock. I shifted as she gave us all a measuring look.
"Oh, trust me. I'd love to taste you all over. A girl can dream right?"
"Well, they say dreams do come true."
She giggled at Jer's not-so-subtle invite.
"Let's get through the night and your kisses first and we'll see where we go from there."
Ash nodded. "Fair enough."
He gestured and we all pulled up chairs in front of her. "Now, can you tell us more about your story?"
She nodded and started talking, eating as she went. And what she had to say made me tremble with rage and disbelief.
