I realize Dumbass isn’t his real name, but it suits him.
“Oh fuck,” Dumbass says, turning a little pale. I roll my eyes, and decide to get Roslyn away from them before she hears too much too soon.
“Queen’s circle?” she asks the second we step away, looking all too amused.
“It’s a nickname. One we don’t like,” I lie, shrugging it off as though it’s nothing.
Zee seems to manage to get Alex to leave, taking the rest of the Somage with them. It was probably an easy feat after Loose Lips almost fucked us.
I spot Sierra just as she and Deke come in. She has twigs in her hair that he’s pulling out, and I groan inwardly. She apparently had to shift, which means they ran into problems. Fuck.
“I need to take care of something. Think you can hang out with…” My voice trails off as I sniff the air, immediately finding the familiar stench I’m looking for. “Jenny,” I say, pointing to her roommate.
Roslyn sighs, then turns her face up so that she can see mine.
“You’re not going to just ditch me, are you? I can always just go back home.”
Again, all the beasts inside me try to roar forth. I really don’t like this feeling, and I hope someone can help me out. For fuck’s sake, I couldn’t go to sleep until I kidnapped her from her house earlier. It’s amazing that I was able to heal.
“I’m not ditching you, sweet thing,” I say, accompanying the words with my most charming smile. “I’ll be all over you once I get some things settled, and you won’t be able to get away from me the rest of the night.”
Yeah. I’m totally fucking someone over tonight and letting them take my hour to watch the woods. I don’t want to leave Roslyn alone for longer than necessary. My skin is crawling at the thought of leaving her alone right now.
She smiles shyly, but she finally nods. “Okay,” she says on a breath.
I pull her to me, unable to stop myself, and kiss her like I’m going to war or some shit. At first she’s surprised, and the small gasp she releases makes her lips part for my tongue to delve inside.
I cup handfuls of ass, growling subtly as I kiss her harder. Her surprise turns to passion when she slips her hands around the back of my neck, roughly tugging me closer in a way that has my cock straining to get out of my pants.
Fucking party.
It takes a lot of effort to withdraw, but I manage to do so. She staggers forward, looking as drunk as I feel, and I grin down at her. Yeah. No way in hell am I letting her go.
I thumb her swollen bottom lip, loving the fact that it’s like that because of me, and her warm breath comes out in small pants. Maybe I can sneak her up to one of the empty rooms after this impromptu meeting is over.
“I’ll be back,” I tell her, finally forcing myself to move. Chaz eyes me from across the room, and I use my head to gesture for him to come over.
He does so, and as soon as he reaches me, I start talking, bypassing stupid pleasantries. “Get everyone to meet me in Ella’s room.”
He stifles a laugh. “Probably best to use a different room.”
“Why?”
Seriousness takes over his expression. “Gage didn’t want Kimber around the Somage, but he didn’t want her knowing that he was stealing her away. He’s worried she might fixate on finding the traitor in their group if she spends too much time around them.” His grin returns as he adds, “So he borrowed Ella’s room to distract Kimber until they could get the Somage out of here before they saw her.”
My lips curl into a smirk, and revenge serves itself on a platter. “We’re definitely meeting in Ella’s room then.”
He laughs while shaking his head. “Alright. It’s you’re funeral.”
I jog up the stairs while Chaz goes to take care of assembling everyone. I round the hallway, moving quickly, eager to pay that douche back. As soon as I reach Ella’s room, I kick the door open without warning.
Gage’s naked ass is in full view, stopping mid-pump as he jerks his head around to see what the hell just happened.
“The fuck?!” he yells as a cover magically falls over him and the girl under him.
Keeping a bored expression on my face, I lean against the wall, ignoring his furious glare.
“Sucks, doesn’t it?” I drawl.
