“No, it’s not. You’re Alec’s mate. My brother’s mate. You love each other. I should have never…” he growled, his fist clenched against the glass. “Please forgive me, Belle. It will never happen again.”
I went to him and touched his shoulder. He flinched with a hiss as if my hand were made of fire. “Please…”
“You can hide it from anyone but not me.”
“There’s nothing to hide. That was just…a mistake. It means nothing at all. Any man, seeing a woman that vulnerable, could make such a mistake. Don’t make a big deal out of it.”
I ignored his unsuccessful attempt to hurt and push me away. “Have you ever told Rena that you love her?”
His head jerked at me, and his eyes burned with the golden gleam. “No. Because I do not love her.”
Courage possessed me as I dared move closer to this incredible body, not run from the beast eyes. “Well…poor, Rena.”
“Why…” he swallowed. “Why are you saying that?”
Watching this huge man stammering and sweating as I approached him built up my desire for him. Heat came up—and down—in waves. I couldn’t not touch him. My arms snaked around his back, and I let my body press against his.
“Please stop moving, Professor.”
“Why? Because you won’t be able to stop yourself from touching me?”
“Yes, and it won’t be just touching.”
The friction between our hips was a delight yet a cruel tease. The bulge in his jeans was big, but I knew how much bigger it could get. I wanted to—had to— know how hard he would get for me.
“Don’t you want to know why I felt sorry for Rena?”
He barely nodded.
My breasts were now on his ribs, and my hands were sliding to the hard V down his hips that led straight to everything I wanted at this moment. “Because she loved you, too, Kayden.”
The golden strikes flamed. His erection doubled, poking me in the stomach. “No. She loved Alec. Only Alec.”
“I can feel everything she’s ever felt. I am her after all, and I can tell you beyond any doubt, Rena loved all three of you.”
“Three?”
“Joshua, Alec and you.”
He looked as if I’d stabbed him in the back. “This can’t be. No woman loves three men at once, and certainly not that combination. A twin wolf and a vamp? That’s sick.”
“I’m going to borrow your words,Wolf. You can choose to stick to what you’ve been taught, ignore the truth and live with the miserable consequences…or you can open up your mind to accept there’s another world out there, a woman’s world where there is room for more than one man, and save yourself the misery of a torn heart.” My palms left his front and dipped in the back pockets of his jeans. “Oh fuck me.”
“What?”
“Nothing! I didn’t say anything!”
His cock throbbed on my belly. “You said fuck me.”
“Yeah? Well, I…I wanted to say something and forgot what it was so I said,oh fuck me, as in…oh fuck me, I forgot, notoh fuck me, Kayden, please.Your ass is so hot, andI’m so fucking wet for you I need you to fuck me.Here. Now.”
A growl ripped out of him painfully. “Because that would have been completely inappropriate, Professor.”
I pushed myself more into his erection and squeezed his ass harder. “I know. So inappropriate.”
The devil’s words thundered in my head, yelling over everything else. He told me I deserved to be happy. He told me to take what was mine.
Joshua was mine. Alec was mine.
