“So? They’ve seen us kissing before,” Tate argued back.
I could see them in the dark. He had her cuddled to his front facing me, his eyes flashing yellow in the dark as his gaze fell on me. His fingers stroked along her arm and down her side, his lips grazing her neck.
“We can do that here, or was it something else you wanted, princess?” His hand skimmed her thigh, tickling along the top of it and making the delectable aroma of her arousal fill the air.
“Tate,” she whisper-yelled and smacked his hand, though she shouldn’t have bothered since every person out here had supernatural hearing. You couldn’t even whisper without someone knowing your business several feet away.
“What?” Tate chuckled, still teasing her. “No one can see us.”
That was a lie. No one was paying attention to them, lost in their own little star-gazing world, but I could see them and Tate knew it.
“What about…?” she trailed off, her eyes lifting to where I laid next to them. I kept my head facing the stars, only watching them out of the corner of my eye.
“So?” Tate’s voice grew low, lips brushing against her ear. “Maybe he wants to watch.” His fingers drew closer to the crease of her legs.
Just then, the crowd began oohing and ahhing, pointing at the sky. Shots of line trailed across the night sky. More than half a dozen of them broke up the sky above us and drew everyone’s attention, even Jack’s.
“Oh, look!” Jack pointed her arm up in the air. “Wow, I didn’t think there would be so many of them.”
Tate’s hand moved back to her hip, his eyes still on me, a teasing drifting down our bond.
I sighed in annoyance. For once, I wished the bond went both ways. Tate loved to tease and taunt me with it, using it more often than not to rile me up before he ever even made it to my dorm room. Now, he was using it against me when it came to Jack.
It was bad enough that I could sense when he was with her because of it. And, while I knew that they hadn’t had sex yet, thatdidn’t mean that it was any less painful to know he was kissing and touching her while I could only look.
At least he did make up for it by coming to my room after any of their little make-out sessions. Why he was dragging this out and not sinking into what had to be such warm, wet softness was beyond me.
“I want to take my time,” he’d said when I’d asked.
Did Tate actually feel something for Jack other than lust? Was he as obsessed with her as I’d become? The fact that both of us had become fixated on the same woman was a miracle. I could only pray that we both wanted the same thing.
“Kyren.”
I blinked at the sound of my name coming from Jack’s lips. “Yes?”
“Have you ever seen a meteor shower before?” she asked, her face pointed in my direction. “I mean you’d have to, being a vampire, right?”
I could listen to her speak all day.
Shrugging, then remembering she couldn’t see me, I said, “Once, a long time ago.”
“That’s too bad.” Jack sighed and looked back at the stars. “If I was a vampire, I’d make sure to spend every waking moment seeing all the miraculous things of the world. Like those comets that only come around once every fifty years or so.”
“Oh, really? Then maybe I’ll just bite you and make you one right now.” Tate grinned, leaning over her and pretended to bite her, making her squeal and struggle in his embrace.
“Vampire, not werewolf, silly.” Jack smacked him on the chest with a grin.
Watching the two of them warmed something in my chest, a feeling I hadn’t known in centuries. Almost like happiness.
I would do anything to keep it.

Jack
WhenIsteppedintoSupernatural Law and Enforcement on Friday, my eyes locked onto a familiar face sitting next to my usual seat in the back.
“Kyren?” I slid into my seat, setting my bag down next to my seat. “I didn’t know you took this class.”
