“I don’t know,” Felix said in a wry tone. He lowered his head, letting his lips brush the side of my neck. “I think all the best conversations happen with a woman pinned against a wall.”
I snorted but didn’t quite manage to restrain a gasp as he nicked his teeth against the perfect spot at the crook of my shoulder. The heat generated between our bodies was pooling between my thighs.
There’d been so much teasing between me and all three of the Rosano brothers over the past few days that I was dying for a proper release. Even if I wasn’t totally sure how far I could trust them when it came to business, it wouldn’t be so unwise to allow for a little personal time with them, would it?
My pride wouldn’t let me give in quite that easily, though. I ran my fingers into Felix’s floppy hair, reveling in the silky texture, and gripped hard in a reminder that I wasn’t any shrinking wallflower. “And what exactly was it you wanted to talk about?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I thought you were sharper than that, Firebird.” Felix trailed his lips up the side of my neck and nibbled my earlobe. At the flick of his tongue, a bolt of pleasure quivered through me. I clamped my mouth shut against a whimper.
“I think we should finish what we started in the coat closet,” he went on in a husky murmur. “In a way I’m sure we’ll both find much more satisfying.” The hand on my hip slipped between us, cupping me through my dress.
My chest hitched, my eyes rolling upward as Felix caressed my clit, gently and then more firmly until I couldn’t hold back a ragged exhalation.
Oh, fuck, yes. His erection pressed against my thigh, straining at the fly of his jeans. It was probably only fair if I repaid the favor.
“Are you that desperate for a hand job?” I had to tease, shifting my weight so that my hip rubbed against his groin.
Felix let out a pleased growl and dropped his hand. The sense of loss jolted through me for just a moment before he was hiking up my skirt and tucking his fingers right against my panties. He hooked a finger around the dampening fabric and tugged it to the side to stroke my folds skin to skin.
Pleasure surged up through my abdomen, and this time a whimper tumbled out before I could catch it. My body arched toward him instinctively.
The youngest Rosano brother leaned in close, his nose grazing my cheek. “I expect it’ll lead to a lot more than hands,” he said. “Your brother screwed over both of us, but we can make some good screwing out of the aftermath, huh?”
Then his mouth captured mine before I could say anything at all in response. His finger curled right inside me, and I moaned against his lips.
Felix took the opportunity to delve his tongue into my mouth, tangling with mine. I kissed him back hard, bliss searing all through my body as he plundered me above and below. But even as the heady pleasure of his touch consumed me, his words stuck in my mind.
He’d made the comment without artifice or anything to gain. I was pretty sure he meant it. He believed that Ezra had screwed over his family, not the other way around.
And if he was sure of that, then I could be pretty much certain Darius and Lucan weren’t in on the double-cross either. They were as tightly entwined as they’d always been. I couldn’t see them keeping information that vital from each other.
Which meant I could give myself over to this moment without the slightest bit of guilt that I might be consorting with the enemy.
I wasn’t giving much back yet. I nipped Felix’s lower lip, making him hiss and claim my mouth with even more force, and reached for his fly with my free hand. No point in bothering with fumbling through layers of fabric; I was going straight for the prize.
As I tugged the zipper down, Felix stroked a second finger into my slit. His thumb flicked back and forth over the pulsing nub just above it, and I clutched his hair even tighter. Fucking hell, he did know what he was doing. Imagine how good it could be once we got past just hands.
I shoved my fingers right into his boxers and wrapped them around his rigid cock. Felix groaned, bucking into my grasp. As I started to pump him, slicking his precum down his length, he released my mouth to chart a scorching path along my jaw.
“So fucking good,” he muttered against my skin, his fingers still thrusting inside me, reaching deeper with each giddy press of my clit. “Even when I thoughtyou’dscrewed us over, I kept coming back to that night, getting off on the thought of you.”
He’d fantasized about our group hook-up that much? It’d sounded like he’d gotten around with plenty of other women both before and after.
I sucked in an uneven breath around a fresh jolt of pleasure and released a faint laugh. “It was so special, was it?”
Felix hesitated, his breath washing over my neck, his fingers slowing inside me to the point that I almost groaned in protest. Then he worked them faster again, swiveling his thumb and giving my jaw a little love bite.
“You’respecial,” he said, so quietly I wasn’t totally sure he wanted me to hear him. “You always were. There’s never been any other woman I’ve wanted the way I want you—not just to get off but… everything.”
My throat choked up at the strained emotion in his voice. “Everything?” I murmured.
“Everything you’ll fucking give me,” he said with a ragged chuckle, and melded his mouth to mine.
I didn’t know how to answer his confession, didn’t know how to react to the way it lit me up inside. I’d thought the weird connection I’d felt with the brothers I’d spent weeks of my summer with for years had been mostly onmyend, because I hadn’t had much chance to crush on anyone else. But maybe it had been special in a general sense. I’d never been drawn to any of the many guys around the Noble mansion in the same way.
Something about the Rosano brothers had called to me from the start. The idea that it’d been the same for them, or at least for Felix, was both reassuring and electrifying.
I kissed him back with everything I had in me, as if I could tell him I wanted the same thing without using any words. My hand jerked up and down around his cock, my thumb tracing the underside and swiveling over the head so that he let out another groan.
He added a third finger inside me, stretching me with a delicious burn that had me gasping and pumping him even harder. Our hips swayed in the same rhythm, our panted breaths mingling.
Felix swiped hard across my clit in time with a plunge of his fingers that hit my G-spot, and my vision whited out with the burst of ecstasy. I cried out into his mouth, both my hand and my pussy clenching around him, and he came with me in a hot spurt across my wrist.
“Fuck,” he said roughly, his head bowing next to mine as he leaned into me. “I didn’t mean to—but feeling you get there—” He drew back a little to meet my eyes, a spark of mischief lighting in his. “Give me a few minutes, and I’ll be up and raring to go again. We’re definitely not—”
The door beside us thumped open. “If you think about it,” Darius was just saying to Lucan as they strode inside, and then he cut himself off, both of them stalling in their tracks as they stared at Felix and me.
Darius’s shoulders stiffened, his next words coming out just shy of a roar. “What the fuck is going on here?”
