But it doesn’t change what we are, or that we can’t touch her.
She moves so quickly, none of us has time to react—especially since we were looking at each other and not her. One second she’s standing beside her chair, and the next, her lips are on mine.
I freeze, my mind overwhelmed at the fact that she’s touching me.
Wait—she’s touching me.
“No,” I cry as I jerk away from her, tears filling my eyes.
I don’t want to watch her die.
Maybe she didn’t touch me for too long.
Not that her aging before our eyes is better.
Except…she doesn’t.
Dalia throws her head back as she laughs. “I told you we were fated mates.”
“You’re okay?” Steel asks cautiously.
“I feel great. I wasn’t sure how kissing Blaze would go since I can’t see his head. I mean, I assumed you have heads, and I justcan’t see them—but I couldn’t be sure. I just figured it was better to try.” She laughs again, glancing between the three of us. “I’m fine. Nothing happened, so what the hell are you waiting for?”
None of us moves, glancing at one another.
What the hell are we supposed to do?
Steel pushes his chair back and stands, which I take as permission to touch her.
Fuck. I hope that’s what that meant.
I jump to my feet, pull her into my arms, and press my lips to hers.
It’s like my entire world lights up as our tongues tangle.
Kissing a woman is so different from kissing a man, and I haven’t felt a woman’s lips in nearly a thousand years. But this is so much more than a kiss.
Warmth blazes in my chest, while nerve endings I didn’t even know I had light up.
My heart beats, faster and harder than it ever has, with the realization that she’s right.
She’s our mate.
Ours.
Dalia hums, melting into me as Titan and Steel join us, but they hesitate.
She breaks our kiss, turns in my arms, and immediately reaches out for both men. She tugs them closer, and it’s Steel who leans in to kiss her first.
I grind against her ass, and my lips find her neck as I grasp her hips.
Is this really happening right now?
Is she really unaffected by our touch?
Dalia rips her lips away from Steel’s, and Titan is there to catch them with his own.
My cock throbs in my pants as I watch the two of them battle for dominance of the kiss.
