“Don’t look at me like that, Maya,” he mumbled, causing a shiver to run over my skin. I offered him a small smile before tipping my head up further so that if I wanted, I could kiss him easily.
“Okay,” I agreed quietly with a smile, “I want a birthday party, Marco.”
“Perfect!” He flashed a dangerous smile, looking thrilled beyond measure.
I had absolutely no idea why he got such a kick out of spending money on me, but if it made him happy then who was I to say no? I looked over his sharp, clean-cut jaw and his dark messy hair that I had to really resist touching. I wanted to touch every part of him. Maybe I had a problem. Like an actual issue. Was‘touching your mate too much’diagnosable? I feel like it could be classified as a medical condition with how flustered it left me.
I swallowed, trying to not think about my dream the night before. There were multiple hands on me. And lips...I wasn’t positive where I had even come up with stuff like this. Well, that wasn’t completely true.Cosmohad an article I’d read while relaxing in the bathtub last night, on myphone.
First of all, I couldn’t believe that I could access all of their editions in that tiny device. But second, did you know there are supposedly10 ways to make your boyfriend stay around?I had some serious questions about that. Like why do you have to make him stay around? Why was sex included with that? I mean if you’re having sex, doesn’t that mean he wants to stay around? I didn’t think my mates would leave me, so honestly, the entire thing was a bit confusing.
I did, however, learn that apparently there were different types of sex positions. I was interested in two but they had absolutely ridiculous names.Who names this stuff?!But yes, doggy style and reverse cowgirl, were both featured in my dream. Along with most of my guys...
“When?” Henry asked, breaking my internal ramble and making me perk up.
As I looked over at a very relaxed Henry, I started to realize my mates were not morning people. Well, except for Croy.
He had left the bed this morning and went on a jog. He’d asked me if I wanted to come and I had sort of just blinked at him with wide, yet tired, eyes until he chuckled then pressed a searing kiss to my lips. I’d promptly curled back up under the covers.
I liked that my other mates weren’t morning people because I didn’t think I was either. It also meant that on the weekends we would be able to sleep in like we had in Los Angeles. Maybe I could convince Croy to stay in bed longer once a week. I just had to figure out how... As it stood, today would not be that day because he was going into the office with the others.
“Friday night?” Marco questioned as I ran a hand through my damp hair, my comfortable robe tied around my frame. We had over an hour until school and I was in no rush to go in the first place. He continued looking at Henry, “Can you give Lesley a call? Tell her we will double the normal rate on account of the short notice.”
Who the heck was Lesley?I scowled.
“We are going to have to call the local alphas and invite them,” Sai noted, walking past me as he pressed a brief kiss to my temple.
I was momentarily distracted by the overwhelming amount of good-looking men around me. You wouldn’t blame me if you were this close to them. They were beautiful.
Especially Sai. He was stunning and whenever I told him that, the tops of his ears turned pink. I couldn’t lie to him, he was! He literally stunned me. Take right now for example. He was wearing a light blue button-down that was open at the neck revealing a bit of his muscular golden chest that I had the random urge to bite.Was that weird?It didn’t make it any better that his obsidian hair was pulled back off his shoulder, the wavy locks glinting in the early sun of our kitchen and showing off his perfectly chiseled jaw.
I frowned not liking the idea of the women in their office seeing how fantastic he and the others looked today.
Sai’s natural cinnamon scent wrapped around me like a blanket creating a relaxing symphony of contentment. Those sparkling obsidian eyes ran over me as his tanned hand slid over my waist gently, making me blush a bright red. His smirk was daring as he walked around the counter, leaving me feeling dizzy. I couldn’t help but watch the gorgeous man make his coffee.
I know the guys called Sai an ‘ass’ sometimes, but he was really sweet and romantic towards me, so I wasn’t positive what they were talking about. He did get upset occasionally, but who didn’t? Plus I loved when he wrapped his arms around me, I could always feel his dragon rumbling underneath the surface of his muscular chest in greeting.
Henry was much the same, the two of them having somewhat the most vocal connection with their animals. I wasn’t sure they realized that yet, but I could feel their connection with their animal, along with the rest of my mates.
My toes curled thinking about how his mouth had felt on my body and I had to take another sip of coffee just to avoid blurting out the request that he do it again. I couldn’t think when I was around any of them, but Henry right now, had me feeling very out of sorts still.
His leaner but extremely cut body was only covered in a pair of flannel bottoms, leaving his completely shirtless chest open for my perusal.
And his abs.
And the black tattoos that covered his fair complexion.
And that V that led down to where I could see that he was getting turned on.
I snapped my eyes up and found him staring at me with amusement and heat, offering me a wink and making me blush. I tried to re-focus on my coffee.
I would not think about him naked.
I would not think about him naked.
I was totally thinking about him naked. And how he tasted when I had him in my mouth and throat. How his lips felt on my skin. Oh jeez. This was going to be a long freakin’ day. I shifted on my seat suddenly feeling like I would much rather stay home in bed. Or have a repeat of the other afternoon. I found his light, stormy eyes, which rested behind dark-framed glasses, watching me with fascination as the conversation around us continued.
Henry tilted his head predatorily, blonde unkempt waves resting about his handsome face as my heart began to race.
