In Silence She Screams (Midnight Mayhem 3)

Eli stands up in front of me, swiping his bottom lip with the edge of his thumb, a smug fucking smirk on his mouth. “You want me to put you away, too?”

Tucking my still hard dick back into my jeans, I zip them up but leave the button undone with the belt hanging cautiously open. “Don’t let it go to your head.”

He chuckles, eyeing me up and down as he passes. My mind is still on the act that Lilith had done, which was nothing at all what I expected. It was sexy, dark, and a decent mix between Midnight and Patience. I gather with every act, she’s going to introduce it in a different way. I turn to leave when Eli is still standing there, watching me from behind. I step forward, studying him closely. I’ve been with a few guys in my day, never had a preference in gender. If I’m interested, I’m interested, and that would be a dangerous thing for most people, but I’m not most people and I’m hardly ever fucking interested. Eli has short hair that has a soft kind of wave to it, almond-shaped eyes, and chiseled cheekbones that could have been carved from a Greek god. He has all that pretty going for him on top of lips that looked pretty fucking good wrapped around my dick. Consider my attention piqued. I was bored with my usual fucking months ago. Years ago.

I wrap my hand around his chin and pull his eyes up to mine. He doesn’t flinch, completely unfazed. He’s either seen some shit or he’s crazy as fuck. Both work for me. My fingers find their way to the back of his tatted-up neck and over the collar of his shirt. I squeeze.

“You think you’re up for it?”

I watch as something passes over his eyes. I expected him to be confused because that was my intention, but instead I got intrigue? Fear? No. What I got was undiluted mischief.

“I know I am.”

He leans forward, that smirk still on his face. It’s not until his lips touch mine that I realize we’re still standing in the fucking lobby and I need to be on my bike for the triple ring of death. His tongue slips out and licks my bottom lip. That was pretty much the stupidest shit he’s ever done because now I fucking want him. You can suck my dick and mean jack shit to me. I can not want you but still enjoy seeing my cock choke you to the brink of death.

“What are you thinking?”

Eli’s eyes flick over my shoulder, and I don’t have to see her to know that she’s there. Since my eyes first landed on Lilith, she has let out a kind of frequency that my body is annoyingly attune to.

“Thinking why not make it a party?”

I release the grip around the back of his neck and turn my head slightly to see Lilith watching us closely, but her body is turned sideways, as if she was heading somewhere but got distracted. I’m well aware Eli and I are giving anyone who wants to watch an extra show to what they came here tonight to watch. I just don’t fucking care. Lilith is undeniably attractive, but that doesn’t cancel out the fact that I don’t trust her. Or fucking like her.

“Sorry, boys.” Her tongue slides over her bottom lip, lilac eyes darting between the both of us. “I’m on someone else’s menu tonight.”

“Fucking who?” I snap, and then instantly clench my teeth when I realize I answered too fast. Eli, the smug bastard, chuckles in the background.

She takes three steps closer to us, looking up between both Eli and me with a crazy kind of gloom stirring deep in her eyes.

She raises her finger up to my mouth, while her other hand is at the front of Eli. She smudges the paint on my lips and I watch as she slowly sucks her finger into her mouth while looking between us both. It’s not until I rest my hand on the wall beside Eli to cage him in while keeping it open for her that I realize her hand is over the bulge ripping through my jeans. Fuck, at this rate, I won’t be riding on anything but the two of them tonight.

“Hmmm…” She laughs, and everything stops. She steps away from the both of us and my stomach dips. Fucking tease, I should have known.

I glare at her. “Get the fuck backstage before Persephone decides to have you for a meal instead.”

“Jealous?” She bats her lashes at not just me, but Eli, too.

“Careful, Lil. Don’t initiate a game that you won’t win…” Eli murmurs carefully as she bounces back down the way she came in a trail of laughter.

Fuck, but she’s crazy. Still can’t stand her, even if my dick can. Literally.
