“Why not?”
“Everyone knows it's impolite to discuss a lady’s appetites,” Noah said smoothly, his thumbs brushing the vee of my inner thighs as we continued to sway to the hypnotic beat.
“It’s not like I’m telling everyone about how she ate half a damn turkey on her own. It’s just sex.”
I blushed at the mention of my afternoon snack. “It’s still rude.”
I leaned back into Noah as Kingston continued to search my body with his palms. We pretended this seduction was dancing, but we all knew better. Rolling my gaze upward, I nearly stopped what I was doing as Caleb’s form came into view. He stood on the balcony, palms clenched around the metal railing, burning eyes pinned on me.
Why was he torturing us both?
“I need a break,” I said, stepping out of their holds.
Kingston’s eyes followed mine up to where Caleb continued to stare at us from the shadows. “We’ll be here when you’re ready.”
I nodded, smiling a little despite the ache in my heart when I caught Ash and Moira doing a slow version of the Charleston. Ash pulled Moira in close and then dipped her low, following up the move by leaning down and stealing a kiss.
Continuing toward the table where I saw Moira’s ostentatious feather jacket waiting for her, I forced myself to focus on that one goal. I would have made it, too, except for the massive hand that encircled my wrist.
Not Caleb again.
But no... there was no incense in the air. The voice gave my captor away a second later.
“Do you have any idea what it was doing to me watching you out there?”
His voice was a low rasp, and the pure need threaded through it sent a shiver straight down my spine. Alek reeled me in until I was standing between his spread thighs.
“Why don’t you tell me, Viking?”
Gripping me by the hips, he pulled me even closer, forcing me to straddle his muscular legs, my skirt riding up with the motion.
“How about I show you?”
God, the heat in his voice made things tighten low in my belly as an answering wave of lust hit me hard.
“I’ve been trying to go slow with you. Ensure you know it’s your heart I want before asking to have your body too.”
That intense blue stare of his made my breath catch.
“But you called to me like a siren out there while you were dancing. I’m aching, Sunny.”
“Me too.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck as I rocked my hips into him, aided by his large palms grasping my ass. I expected to feel the delicious friction of our clothing and his rock-hard length rubbing up against my throbbing core. But it was so much better. A moan left me when my slippery folds found the leather of his pants.
Wait a second... I was wearing underwear before coming over here. I know it. I picked them out special.
“Alek,” I whispered, bringing my lips to his ear.
“Yes?”
“I had panties on earlier.”
“Did you?”
“I did.”
“Wonder where they went.”
