Fuck.
I nod, “Yes, sir.”
“Good girl,” he smirks. His lips crash against mine in a heated kiss that has me forgetting my own damn name. His smile turns wicked, and a huge wave of water crashes over both of us.
I gasp, spluttering as his smile widens, “What was that for?”
“That was because I can’t make you beg right now,” he mutters.
He smiles again and surprises me as a warm wind wraps around us both and has us dry in seconds.
I lean forward and kiss him, biting down on his lip as his arms tighten around me, and he growls.
“Thank you,” I mutter.
“That was hot,” Hades grins.
“How sure are we that we can’t make Farren beg for running off on us, now?” Khaos asks, his eyes glued to me.
My thighs clench.
Laikynn clears his throat, “At the risk of nearly losing my life for the second time this evening, I would like to interrupt with the answer that you don’t have the time, the blood of the creature will attract the rest of them, and they will not be happy. They have been at the top of the food chain here for thousands of years, and now Farren has changed that. She will be hunted.”
I think that might have been the only thing that could have stopped the guys.
My safety.
It’s sweet, and I love it.
But.
I’m really fucking turned on, and the way that they were speaking made it sound like they would all be getting involved, and that’s more than a little bit intriguing.
They circle around me.
“Lead the way,” Storm orders Aldrastos.
Aldrastos studies me closely and then nods, “I could do with a fight now.”
Reaper smiles and claps him on the shoulder, “I’d say you’ll get used to that, but you won’t.”
Aldrastos grunts and then takes off, and the rest of us follow. Laikynn and his pack are running behind us this time, not surrounding us. It seems that he has taken the guy's threat seriously, and rightly so.
We run through the darkness. I could swear that it’s not as dark as it was when we first arrived, but then again, I might just be getting used to it. I already know that I can see more of it than the others can, so I’m going to wait to see if any of them bring it up first.
Thankfully, our speed means that it doesn’t take much longer until I see a dark shape appear. It’s distinctively house-shaped, so I’m assuming that it's what we’re aiming for.
Aldrastos slows and then stops in front of what I can just about tell is a gate.
“We need to check the perimeter before we head through the gate, and then we can make sure that there’s no one in the house either. My magic is telling me that it’s empty, but sometimes the creatures and supernaturals here manage to hide from my magic, so I would rather that we physically check as well,” Aldrastos explains.
“Sounds good to me,” Kill replies. “Everyone follow the fence line around the house and take some of Laikynn’s pack with you.”
As everyone moves to check the perimeter of the house, Laikynn steps up beside me.
“Farren, Mayhem is more than he appears. The only reason why my spell was able to hold him was that he allowed me to. I’m assuming because he knew that I meant something to you,” Laikynn says quietly.
I nod. It isn’t news to me that Mayhem is stronger than he should be. However, it is something that I’m only just beginning to understand, and if I’m being extremely honest, I find it ridiculously attractive.
