“Are you going to come get in bed with me?” His raspy voice startles me, but his focus stays hooked on the book in his hand.
“Um— What?” I stutter.
He flips the page carelessly. “You’ve been staring at me for over a minute, and you’re standing in a towel. So, if you’re notgoing to drop it for me and crawl onto my lap, then I suggest you move on before I make a move.”
My stomach leaps.
Not knowing what else to do to fill the sexual tension, I point upward, knowing my room is above his. Sometimes, I hear his headboard tapping against the wall, and muted sounds come from this room around two or three in the morning.
“I…forgot my clothes in my room.” I fold my arms over my breasts, nervous that his gaze has magic abilities and may somehow whip the towel off my body. “Don’t you get enough action in here already? You seem to do quite well at luring your victims here.”
Something the Lindenvale boys have in common.
Other people may not come in and out of this property besides workers, but they have no issues tempting women into their beds. No wonder both Cameron and Brennan have their own floors. Sadly, the floor and walls of the attic are thin. Unfortunately, even though Jess told me all the other rooms are soundproof, I can still hear…certain activities that take place in his.
He lowers the book to his lap and cocks his head, evaluating me. “Victim,” he corrects.
My eyes roll. “Well, whoever she is, you two are loud.” I may not catch voices, but I sure as hell can hear the furniture he’s trying to pound into the wall along with whoever is in there with him.
“He.”
My eyes lift to the ceiling in thought.Hmmm.
“Whoeverheis,” he repeats. “You know him,” he mentions casually.
I barely know anyone in Cedar Creek besides them, Alaric, who frustratingly turned out to be Colten, the old woman I met on my walk, Crock, and…
My eyes flit to his, and he grins maliciously. “Xavier?” I exhale. “You and him? But you…Uh—”
“Fucked your throat and came all over those gorgeous tits?” His compliment drips down my spine like honey.
I clear my throat. “Yeah.”
“Xavier and I are bisexual.” He places the book on the nightstand, kicking his legs over the bed to stand while I mull it over.
Xavier is the one who drugged me, but now it’s clicking together. What a perfect little scheme they had at the bar.
Assholes.
Brennan approaches me, his smoky and spiced scent hitting me like a wall. The impact hits my knees, releasing a flurry of tingles.
“Tell me, Taryn.” He circles me, pressing his bare chest into my back, his rough fingertips gliding delicately across my collarbone. The heat from his chest collides with my shoulders. A pang of shock surges through my body when his breath hits the curve of my neck. His lips hover over my flushed skin. “Have you ever been with two men before?” His words pour through my ears like venom, petrifying me in place.
Acting thoughtlessly, my neck slopes further, my body craving his lips on my skin. His question hangs like a thick haze, and I shake my head. I still haven’t even been with one man, but the thought of two simultaneously sounds…
Thrilling and terrifying.
Since that night in the orchard, I have had all this sexual tension and curiosity pulling at each ligament in my body. Brennan and Cameron are the ones who caused it, and now whenever I see them, my bitch of a brain tells me I want more. That it’s okay to feel this way despite being abducted and held against my will.
It’s messed up, but I’ve never been so turned on.
“We would go slow with you.” His lips barely stroke my neck, and my eyes flutter closed.Oh, shit.“Ease your body into it. Ease you into fitting both of us.” I swallow. His fingers travel across my shoulder to the top of my spine. They dip below the towel, his touch spreading like wildfire as if he could disintegrate the towel still wrapped tightly around me. “We don’t mind sharing,” he whispers.
“You and Xavier?” I murmur, processing his comment.
“Xavier and I. Cameron and I…occasionally.” My legs wobble, and he grips my shoulders to steady me. His dark chuckle is a beautifully haunting sound. “Xavier and I have been looking for someone to be our third for a long time.”
“Why don’t you just force me into it like last time? You seem to take what you want anyway.”
