I did as he told me, catching a flake on the very tip of my tongue. The cold melted instantly.
Flynn moaned softly. “Haven, will you ride with me next?”
My mind immediately flew to the scene that had played out between him and Teal, and I felt heat rise to my cheeks. If he saw my expression, he’d know I’d been watching. I was sure of it. Bad enough I’d watched. Worse, for a few insane seconds, I’d wanted to join them.
“Leave her alone, Flynn,” Pierce growled.
“You can hold her for now, but I’m not giving up. She’ll be mine.”
Annoyance tightened my spine. “She is right here, and with that attitude, I will never be yours.”
His expression turned smug. “Challenge accepted, Princess. Challenge accepted.”
Chapter
Thirty-Four
TEAL
The heavy snow on the ground muffled the sound of the horses’ hooves. A near-solid wall of white obscured anything further than a dozen feet away.
Next to me, Grayson turned in his saddle and grunted. “Where did she get the fucking cloak?”
What cloak? I, too, turned. Haven rode with Pierce, and she was wrapped in a gray cloak. An hour ago, she’d been swathed in threadbare fabric that matched the dark gold of her hair. “She has interesting powers.”
Grayson snorted. “She has interesting secrets.”
And I yearned to discover each and every one of them. Yearning was new, both unwelcome and enticing. I shifted in my saddle as I remembered hearing her voice in my head.
Please. I’m desperate.
She’d begged so prettily that my balls had tightened painfully. I’d pounded into Flynn mercilessly, imagining him fucking her as I fucked him. My overwhelming desire—for each of them—had made each thrust more brutal.
I need you to come.She wanted us as badly as we wantedher. And, oh, the ways we’d take her. Make her scream. Make her ours.
“Now!”
I’d exploded, coming so hard that stars twinkled at the edge of my vision. Flynn had jerked wildly as he roared in ecstasy before going limp beneath me.
“We have to have her,” he’d whispered.
“Soon,” I’d promised even as I wondered why the shield fascinated me. She was nothing like the women who usually caught my attention, dark-haired beauties with demure expressions and a willingness to kneel before me. To crawl. Haven would never crawl. But if she did, I was fairly sure she’d destroy me.
The icy wind picked up, and my horse huffed its discontent.
I could barely make out Haven and Pierce in the swirling snow. “Can you see?” The conditions were growing more dangerous by the minute.
“No.”
“The weather is getting worse.”
Grayson shrugged. “We ride.”
We ought to stop and take shelter. If I were in charge, we’d already be on the ground and looking for a windbreak. But Grayson was our leader, and he was already in a vicious mood, so I held my tongue.
We were four alpha males. Four warriors with a penchant for violence. Four men born to dominate. The struggle for power had nearly torn us apart until, at last, we’d decided Grayson should lead. He was the best choice. Pierce was too cold, Flynn too hot, and I was too … me. With Grayson in charge, I saved my need for control for the bedroom.
“Teal?” Haven’s voice made my cock twitch.
