Keltyr went still. He didn't even breathe.
“Yes, that means I'm falling for you,” I added. “I wouldn't have let us . . . let you, uh, do that to me if I didn't know I was close.”
“Ember,” he whispered, then bent his head to kiss my forehead. “I'm falling for you too.”
I grinned as I looked up at him. “I know.”
“You little shit!” Keltyr shoved me.
I rolled away, laughing, but he followed me.
Looming over me, Keltyr's expression softened. “You know what I want?”
“What?” I whispered, fascinated by the green flecks in his eyes.
“Ice cream!” He rolled off the bed.
As Kel flung open the lid of the trunk at the foot of his bed, I rose on my forearms and watched him. The lid hid his lower half, and I knew he'd done it purposefully because he grinned at me as he dropped his pants. Biting my lip, I crawled to the foot of the bed and peered over the lid.
Kel saw me coming and slowed his movements. Watching me watch him, he brought a fresh pair of undershorts up his legs, catching them beneath his balls to lift the whole package for my inspection. My lip fell out of the grip of my teeth with a gasp, and I leaned forward without meaning to, my mouth watering. Even limp, he was impressive, but not to the point of being intimidating. When that glorious piece of flesh hardened, I'd be able to take it all with ease. I'd need a few seconds of slippery stretching, of course, but he'd get inside me faster than Rath or Xae.
Kel pulled the shorts up just as his cock started to awaken. Then he grabbed a pair of pants and tossed them to me. “They'll be loose and long, but at least they don't have a cum stain on them.”
I lifted my stare to his face and couldn't stop the words from leaving my mouth. “I really want to suck your cock.”
Keltyr shuddered but then, with the strength of a god, he pulled a pair of pants out of the trunk and put them on. “You will,” he said breathlessly. “Afteryou tell me you love me.”
I gaped at him, the pants still in my hands, and felt excitement tingle up my spine. “Agreed.”
“Good, now put those pants on. Unless you want me to fetch the ice cream and bring it back to you?”
I tossed his pants back at him. “I like the sound of that.”
Keltyr grinned. “And I like the thought of you lying in my bed, waiting for my return, wearing cum-stained pants.”
With that, Kel left, and I laid back to wait for him. “Ice cream,” I murmured happily. “I wonder if he'll let me lick it off his chest?”
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Keltyr didn't let me lick some ice cream off his chest. He knew, as I should have, that if we got started on shit like that, we'd never be able to stop. And the guy was honorable. Not that I ever doubted it, but still, it was nice to see. So, we just ate ice cream and talked. It was wonderful. By the time I returned to my suite, I'd forgotten about the dried cum on my crotch. But I remembered as soon as I saw Xae's face.
He was sitting across from Rath at our dining table, a round thing with seats for eight, set in the back right corner. It doubled as a game table, but they weren't playing cards. They were drinking, and that didn't help the surge of fury that filled Xae's eyes as his nostrils flared.
“Xae, it's not what you think!” I held out my hands as he lurched from the table and barreled toward me.
“Xaedren, stand down!” Rath shouted.
Neither of our words stopped him. Xae snatched me off my feet, then lowered his head as he lifted me, bringing his nose to my crotch. With a snarl, he set me down, but only so he could shove his face at mine.
“Take off those clothes,” Xae growled, even as he shrugged off Rath's arm.
“It's all right, Rath,” I said as I hurried out of my clothes, all of them, not just the pants. I knew Xae, knew exactly what he needed. So, only when I was naked did I try to explain, “We didn't have sex. We were just—”
“Get on that!” Xae pointed at a tufted footstool that was big enough for twenty feet to prop upon.
I looked over at it. Set between the couch and chairs near the fireplace, we often used it as a table. Sometimes, I even curled up on it. I went over to the big, round thing and sat down.
“Not like that.” Xae followed me. “On your hands and knees.”
