She gasped but nodded, knowing he could feel it and see it on her body.“Yes, it’s crazy, but, Goddess, that feels so good.”
Scepter lifted her right leg over his hip and rolled his pelvis, grinding downward with each shallow thrust.It took her no time to orgasm.Scepter spilled within her again, staying deep as she pulsed around him and he bit, taking her throat with his teeth.She didn’t think she could orgasm another time, but fuck.“Scepter, I’m coming again.”
“I got you,” he rumbled against her throat.
Their scents filled the room.He took care of her, sealing the small wounds.His hand released hers.She let out a shuddering breath, relaxing into the comfort of the mattress.
“You smell wonderful.Like copper and us,” she said, running her hands along his arms.
“You smell like you,” he growled.
She didn’t understand why there was an undercurrent of anger in his tone.Her multiple orgasms still pulsed through her, making it impossible to have a sensible thought.
“Starla, where are you?”Aurora’s frantic voice cut through her mind.
“Is your sister raging in her head?”he asked.
“How did you know?”She swallowed, watching him turn onto his back, feeling cold without him holding her.
“Savage just roared in my head, asking where the fuck I’d taken you.I can link the four of us, if you’d like?”He twisted his head toward her.
“You can build a bridge or a link?”
He swallowed and nodded.His Adam's apple bobbed.“Of course.We are Family.”
“Did I do something wrong?”She felt exposed, so she waved her hand, pulling a blanket over herself.
He made a grunt that sounded like he was half choking, half snorting.The male confused her.
“No, Anima Mia.It’s me.I’m all in my head.Come here.”He tugged her into his side.
Starla wanted to argue with him and demand he be truthful.She could hear the lie in his voice.Sure, he’d given a half-truth, but still, she’d heard the lie.Didn’t he know shifter hearing was remarkable?The taste of his untruth rolling off his tongue made her want to gag.She hated how easily he spouted the bullshit.
He pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her neck.“Don’t look at me like that.It guts me to see you hurting.I promise, it’s nothing to do with you.There’s a lot of shit going on right now.We’re steady.Only time will make us even better.”
She let out a sigh of relief.“I know.I’m new to all of this.Please, just be honest and open with me.I’ll do the same.”
“I’ll see you either before the party or at the club.Don’t go anywhere alone.Promise me,” he said in a low growl.
“You sound more like a wolf than a vampire right now.”
“You must be rubbing off on me.I didn’t hear you promise.”His beautiful blue eyes held hers.
“I promise to go straight to Savage and Aurora’s, and if you’re not back to escort me to the party, I’ll go with them.And I won’t go off on my own.”She stuck her tongue out.
Scepter shocked her by swooping down and sucking her tongue into his mouth.Before their kiss could turn heated, he pulled back.Their breathing labored.
