Tears welled in my eyes, and I looked down at Ryze.
“If you hold him and don’t let him bite me, I will give you some magic to heal him,” Tobias said, and I gasped, shocked.
“You will give me magic?”
Tobias nodded, staring at Ryze. “Just enough to heal him, but there is a catch.”
“What?”
“Take it. Kiss me.”
I shook my head, not falling for this shit again. “Forget it,” I told him.
“Wow, rejected pretty fast.” Tobias laughed, and I glared at him.
“I have already fucking had Darius tear into my bond by telling me to kiss him and then laughing in my face. I don’t need it from you, too.”
“He toyed with your bond?” Tobias asked, not seeming to like that.
I nodded, remembering how painful and degrading that was.
“I don’t want to toy with your bond, Aleera. I just want a kiss, that is all.”
“Why?”
“Because I have been fucking horny from drinking your blood all day, and I need something since none of my mates will touch me. Your blood plays havoc with my bond to you. Just come satisfy it for a second until one of them can help me out.”
I chewed my lip, remembering Lycus saying Tobias got horny from drinking my blood. “Just a kiss?”
“Just a kiss,” Tobias repeated. “Then you can heal your plucked dodo-looking phoenix.”
I glanced down at Ryze, who watched me, like he had been listening to our conversation.
“Just one?” I asked.If it meant helping Ryze, I would do it.
“One but I want a proper one.” He laughed.
“A proper one?”
“Using tongue,” Tobias said, winking at me.
“Wouldn’t they be pissed off?” I asked him, and he shrugged.
“Kalen wouldn’t care. As for the other two…” He shrugged. “Well, they should have sucked my dick this morning. Neither did, so I will take my vices in any way I can,” Tobias said.
“I am not sucking dick,” I told him.
“Never said you have to. Just a kiss. So, put your demonic pigeon down and come here,” Tobias said, opening his arms.
“I don’t trust you and if you were so horny, why not just have a wank?”
“Doesn’t work like that. I’ve drunk your blood, and it makes me crave magic. Since you have none and only they do, I have to take it from them but you can make the ache hurt less since your blood caused it by letting my bond have what it wants.”
“Your bond wants me to kiss you?” I asked. It sounded ridiculous.
“My bond wants me to fuck you, but I know you won’t give me that. So it will have to settle for a kiss. Now, come here,” Tobias said.
“And that is all?” I asked again, not trusting him, and he nodded. I looked at Ryze before placing him in the nest I had made and hesitantly got to my feet. Tobias looked up at me from where he sat, not moving, and I stopped in front of him.
