“Ally?” I asked, noticing her odd look. “I was doing no such thing. She is a friend, and herwifewas sitting next to her.”
Her cheeks immediately heated, and I smiled softly to myself at her jealousy.
“It's not very fun to feel jealous, is it?”
“You have no right to feel jealous because I smiled at a man. You’ve been a dick for nine years and told me you didn’t want me to be around you at all. So, go away. Go do whatever it is that you want to with your freedom. Go find someone else.”
She was pissed.
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” I hissed. “Why, so you can flirt with Sam some more?”
“Gods, you're fucking crazy.” She rolled her eyes and turned around.
I don’t fucking think so, Storm.
I hurried over to her and pulled her back against me. Her back was flush to my chest, and my hand snaked up to her neck as I leaned forward so I could whisper in her ear. I squeezed her throat softly because I knew she liked it.
“I think it's time to remind you who you belong to, Storm.”
Her long exhale through her nose let me know she liked this. She tried to pull away, but I held her in place.
“Tell me that you’re mine.”
“Go fuck yourself,” she said with so much confidence that I chuckled against her, and she shivered when I kissed the skin below her ear.
“I love it when you play hard to get.”
Della pushed back against me, and I groaned at how perfect we fit together. I stepped forward, pushing her against the tree. She sighed when I rolled my hips against her.
“Tell me I’m the only man that gets you like this.”
She didn’t say anything, so I spun her around and tried to kiss her, but she moved her face from me, so instead I kissed downher cheek, down her neck. Her chest was heaving as I dragged my hand down to the hem of her dress and dragged it up so I could sink my fingers into her pu—
“Get on your knees,” she breathed.
I pulled back, and her eyes were red. They flickered to mine for a moment, and I did not recognize anything about them. Her jaw clenched, and I could see her trying to keep the wrath inside of her, my wrath. The wrath she got when she took half of my damn soul. Fuck, something about the sight made me weak. I would do anything she asked of me.
I fell to my knees in front of her, and she stared down at me. Her red eyes showed no emotion as she watched me breathe heavily.
“Storm.” I was about to beg when she leaned down, her hand dragging through my hair, yanking it back. She leaned forward and paused.
“I’ll see you at dinner.”
Before I could stop her, she used her magic and disappeared into thin air.For fuck’s sake. Fucking tease.
I looked around to make sure she wasn’t watching from behind a tree. To my disappointment, she wasn’t. I rubbed my hands over my face before standing up and leaning against the tree. I couldn’t help the grin on my face.
I had really fucking missed her.
“Wow, you lasted a whole five minutes before you came out.” Elra’s voice instantly put me in a shitty mood. “You can’t tell me she's that good of a lay that you follow her like a dog.”
When I turned to glare at her, she was emerging from behind a tree, smiling.
“Pathetic,” she said just to be a bitch. I was trying my best to not beat the shit out of my sister.
“Jealous that someone actually likes me?” I snapped back. Her envious eyes narrowed on me. How terrible would it be to alwaysenvy those around you? Elra had always been the worst of us. She could never be happy with what she had because she was always comparing it to what others had.
“You’re in a terrible mood,” Lana, Goddess of Lust, smiled as she stepped out as well. “Maybe you need to get laid.”
