Chapter 394
Caught off guard, I’m unable to guard the emotions that he invokes, the sudden proximity makes my mind turn blank, and the urge to kiss him overpowers me. I lean closer, not caring that we aren’t alone, and cupping his face, I do just that; claiming his lips in a deep kiss, my eyes fluttering shut.
“Whoa there baby girl…‘ he murmurs through the mind link, but he kisses me back, his hand slipping under my crochet top, grazing the skin of my lower back and sending trails of sparks through me.
My core clenches as he kisses me back. I can feel him trying to control his emotions, trying to hold back from letting go. Goddess, I need him, want him… He moves back, his eye blazing blue. Past the milky white that covers his other eye, I see the faint blue hue that coats the iris.
“Are you two done?” Atticus asks. Although I can tell he’s trying to stay calm, he’s struggling.
I look over at him apologetically as I turn towards him, but make sure I adjust my position so I’m rubbing against Zade’s cock. I want him so badly… and I don’t think I can wait much longer… if he doesn’t make the first move, I might just have to. And I am turning our phones off. The world can wait.
“Not really.” Zade remarks tilting his head before he continues to tell the morning events and I add my input, although the more I speak I realise how dramatic I was acting… the threat was real… and if he didn’t do what he did…
Atticus is watching me with disbelief now. “Valerie… after everything, did you not think you needed to have guards or to let us know? I hate to say it, but if he wasn’t there, you could be dead right now.”
I look down at the neglected food on the table and nod. “I know… I wasn’t thinking, and I should have been far more careful.”
“Yes.” Atticus sighs, running his fingers through his perfect hair. “This is serious, and we need to act on it fast. Come home.”
I look up at him in surprise. “I AM home,” I say firmly.
Atticus looks around. “You just moved here, it’s not home yet… look I know you wanted a change of scenery, but with everything going on I don’t think it’s wise.”
“Atticus, I have a job, one I am enjoying, and I can’t just up and leave. They are understaffed right now, and I know I’m saying this while taking a day off, but I really need to be here. Besides, I’m with my mate. I’ll be fine.”
“A mate who isn’t all–powerful. He was almost defeated, remember?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“He took on the Arkans alone!”
“I meant back then…”
I frown as I remember the battle once more.
Zade scoffs lightly. “Facing against 4 power holders… I for certain could have taken two of you down with me.”
I bet one could have been me.
Just the thought makes me pout.
“Oh yeah? Then why didn’t you? Why surrender?” Atticus frowns.
“I don’t really feel the need to tell you,” Zade replies coldly.
Atticus opens his mouth when I raise my hand. “Ok boys behave, look, I’ll come back on a weekend to give my statement, but I do have a lot going on so that’s the best I can do.”
He’s silent for a moment before he nods in defeat.
“Thank you for understanding,” I say, slapping my thigh in relief. I think that went okay. “Stay the night. We have an extra room, anyway.”
Atticus frowns. “As much as I’d prefer a hotel, I think I will. I’ll feel better knowing I’m close if anything was to happen.”
“You should still take the hotel, don’t go out of your way for no reason…I’ll make sure she’s taken good care of,” Zade remarks but his words seem to insinuate something else and my throat seems suddenly dry, his fingers slipping between the small gap right at the apex of my thighs tantalisingly massaging my pussy over my pants that feel too thick right now.
Oh fuck… the urge to fight my own mind from spreading my legs is difficult… Zade is a sinner and I’m ready to go to hell with him.
“I’ll stay.” Atticus growls and although both men are staring one another down, with Zade seeming to revel in annoying him, I’m far too turned on to focus. I jump up from his lap, knowing that my arousal will soon fill the air and I am not allowing that to happen when Atticus is right there!
“Alright! Who is for tea?”
“I wouldn’t mind a coffee,” Zade says, his gaze flicking to me.
“I’ll have a coffee too,” Atticus adds, although I feel he doesn’t want to have
chosen the same as Zade.
Tea? Why on earth would I say tea?
Kicking myself internally, I rush off to the kitchen, not bothered that I’m leaving the two alone, although that might just be rather dangerous…
