At least no one that wasn't a part of this pack.
A sudden scream from downstairs made me jump, my arms tightening around Rad. We both turned to look. Lu was staring down at the first floor with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
When I peered past Rad to the floor below, I had the same reaction. Shock and surprise. Mostly shock.
The scream had come from William, Jackson's cousin. It seemed to be caused by the teeth embedded in his shoulder, teeth that belonged to Val.
"Did he just—"
"Claim William?" Rad continued. "Yes, he did."
"Holy shit!"
Guess William and Emma knew about shifters now.
Chapter Eighteen
~ Ajag ~
It had been two weeks since Elder Payne had been taken away and Rad and I finally had a moment to ourselves. Granted, we were sleeping in the same bed every night, but it seemed as if we just fell into bed, exhausted so much that all we wanted to do was sleep.
I aimed to change that tonight.
I slowly walked toward Rad. When I reached him, I dropped to my knees and pressed the palm of my hand over the man's thick erection. Rad groaned as he stared down at me. The lust filled haze in his eyes seemed to bleed into the whites, growing darker, hungrier.
Rad watched me closely.
With a roll of his body, Rad grabbed me and pushed me toward the bed, tumbling us both onto the mattress before rolling us until I landed on top of the dark-haired man.
Rad's golden eyes blazed with want and need.
I leaned forward, inhaling Rad's scent from collarbone to ear, taking in the raw aroma of man. The scent rushed back into me in a wave of intoxication. Smelling Rad was hardening my cock to a steel bar. I loved the smell of man, was addicted to it. It was a scent that made me aroused every time the aroma was near.
My legs shifted as I straddled Rad's waist between my thighs. I leaned forward to nip the man on his jaw. I could feel small pants of Rad's breath tickling my cheek. The man's breath was coming out raggedly, softly, though.
Rad tugged at my cheek until our lips were only an inch apart, and then I moaned as the man captured my lips. My body tightened involuntarily, every bone and muscle in me reaching for Rad's mouth, the hot draw of his lips, and the moist wash of his tongue.
I opened my eyes, gasping when I saw Rad's grimace of pleasure, the raw lust that transformed his handsome face. I hadn't thought the man could get any better looking, but staring down at Rad, I knew I had been wrong.
When Rad ran his hands down my chest, his thumbs playing at my nipples, a course of lust shot through my groin, making my dick throb with my heartbeat. I leaned forward, pushing against Rad's hands.
I wanted more.
Rad's fingers tightened on my nipples, squeezing them, rolling them between his fingers. The pleasure of the man's hands racked my body, making me tremble with need. My tongue snaked out, licking a path from one side of Rad's neck to the other.
I slid my hands up Rad's arms, circling around his wrists, applying the lightest of pressure as I pressed my chest harder into Rad's hands. I shifted my weight, pressing my body down until I could nuzzle Rad's neck, and then leaned back, pulling Rad's shirt free from his body. I needed raw, naked skin.
I swallowed tightly as I glanced down at the tanned and gleaming chest below me. It was thick, strong, and damn near perfect. I loved the sculpted way Rad was formed. I ran my hands over the bare flesh, my nails scraping lightly, small red marks appearing along the way.
The man was utterly perfect.
Glancing down Rad's body, just above where I was sitting, I saw the outline of his thick erection. It was full, stretched wide, and left little to the imagination. I released the snap on Rad's pants, pulling the zipper down until I saw the moist head of Rad's cock peeking out.
Rad's tongue licked at my nipple, his lips nibbling sporadically. I gasped, arching my head back as that rough, rasping tongue stroked over my heated flesh.
Oh, that was good.
Real good.
