Knowing he doesn’t mean sex, I lift a wrist towards his face. “If you stop, I might have to stab one of you to give you a reason to reconsider.”
Chuckling, he flicks his tongue over my pulse before striking, his laughter turning into a soft sigh. The pressure on my throat is unyielding, and his steady thrusts grow more erratic the more he drinks. When he hits the perfect spot, I grip his lower back, urging him to stay buried inside of me as I tense, coming with a strangled shout. Mason follows right behind me, hips bucking, and taking one last, hard pull from my wrist as he rides the feeling until having to call it.
Reluctantly withdrawing, he slowly licks over the puncture marks, lacing his fingers through mine and pinning my hand next to my head. Loosening the pressure on my neck, he strokes his thumb over the side of my jaw, bending down to kiss me slowly.
“That’s it, I’m bypassing all of the formalities.” He flexes his hips and I gasp, so he does it again with a wicked grin. “I’m declaring the four of us officially mated now.”
I try to laugh, but as he slowly runs the hand at my jaw down my body, gently toying with me as he continues his languid thrusts, it comes across as a harsh breath. “Do you even have the authority to do that?”
He raises an eyebrow. “Who’s going to challenge me?” Kissing me again, he slips his tongue in my mouth, and I nearly forget what we were talking about. “Besides, we’re getting your new ID in a few days, so we’ll just give them our last name to put on it.”
Craning my head back, a small orgasm rocks through me, and I have to wait for the trembling to subside to answer. “No take backs, then, you’re stuck with me.” Three purrs of approval surround me as Bane and Stryker crawl into the bed that’s far too small for all of us.
Bane brushes a hair out of my face, and I’m stuck looking at him upside down. “Wouldn’t dream of it. You belong with us, Risa; since before any of us even knew it.”
Stryker places a kiss on my open palm. “And now that we’ve found you, we’re never letting you go.”
Chapter 14
Risa
––––––––
“I’m definitely notcomplaining here, but seriously guys, I’m fine.”
Sitting in the backseat with Bane, I take another drink of my chocolate milkshake, despite the fact that it’s barely nine in the morning. But at breakfast, after seeing I ate a bit quicker than usual, they started to spiral with guilt and insisted on pumping me full of sugar, trying to replenish what they took from me.
Bane’s golden eyes appear brighter than usual, like there’s extra pep in his step; the same for all of them, really, and there isn’t so much as a scratch to indicate where Stryker was shot anymore. Rather than use any of that excess energy that they gained from our sex-capades last night to do anything productive, they’re using it to fuel their guilty consciences.
“We shouldn’t have gotten so carried away,” Mason states, beating himself up. “We took too much, should have eased into things.”
Stryker strums his fingers on the steering wheel, face tight. “Especially since you heal slower than us. What the fuck was I thinking? I should’ve just sucked it up-“
“My god, you drama queens, it’s not like you took advantage of me. Chill the heck out. If you’d have said no, I probably would have cut my hand to sway Stryker’s stubborn ass into seeing sense. Yes, you can heal quickly, but there was no good reason for him to suffer through the night unnecessarily when there was a perfectly reasonable solution throwing herself at him to speed things along. I’m the reason you were shot in the first place, and from the way you three are talking, I doubt it’ll be the last time someone tries to kill you.”
At Bane’s pointed look, I roll my eyes, taking another drink to humor them. “If I got the short end of the straw and can’t turn into anything cool to help protect you guys, might as well lean into the sexy nurse thing. Ironic, really, with as much as I despise hospitals.” Sucking down the last of my milkshake, it’s obnoxiously loud as it reaches the bottom. “Full disclosure, wicked sex isn’t a sacrifice on my part. So by all that is holy, continue with the blood orgies, and reward me with sweets and affection, but don’t create problems that aren’t there because you’re beating yourselves up for no reason.”
