His lips quivered again, and he crossed strong arms over that sexy, broad chest of his, making his muscles contract. “Are you really going to extort me when I’m trying to help you?”
“How about another kiss?” I proposed, licking my lips in anticipation and calling his gaze to my mouth.
“Yes! That was fun…”
The guys chuckled behind us.
“I mean, this takes effort, and I just think a little hands-on action would be a great reward.” I looked down at my nails as if I wasn’t that interested.
Before I realized it, Hannes was on me, yanking me into his chest and pressing me fiercely to him. The breath left me when I noticed his glowing eyes.
“You’ll do what I say because I say so… andthenwe’ll see what you get.”
Oooh.
“Spank me, Daddy!”
“No, thank you,” I replied, trying to hide how badly that had messed with me.
His nostrils flared, making him look dangerous and so sexy.
Starlight whimpered in response—she liked him bossy.
“Fine. I’ll play.” Winking at him, I stepped out of his arms and walked to the other end of the clearing, swinging my hips just for him.
I mean, we kind of liked doing as he said, so why not give it a try? Apparently, we liked our men bossy sometimes.
“Natalia.” He smirked. “To the sky.”
Good boy.
I shot into the air, enjoying how effortlessly my wings came out of me now. Hannes’s exercises were very helpful, both with my flight and my fire.
“Starlight… run!”
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn!”
“Fine.”
The second I landed my body shifted, and Star began to run free along the clearing.
Her emotions captured my chest, letting me feel everything she felt. Star’s glee for being set free without a fight coursed through me, and I kind of felt bad that I hadn’t ever offered her to shift.
No wonder she’d had to force it; she’d been trapped inside this body for so long… like I was.
“Jump!”
Like a good girl, Star jumped for him, her leap taking her higher than I could have imagined she could.
“Flip, land, and run.”
Her form twirled in the air, and she perfectly landed on all fours without missing a beat. Unlike me, she was in full control of her ability as a wolf.
“Natalia… run!”
“Go, go, go!”Star shouted excitedly, letting go so I could resurface.
Smiling, I shifted back mid-run, dashing past him toward the guys.
