His face was void of emotion. I was almost afraid that we were going to go back to the way things were, him ignoring me, me ignoring the searing pain in my heart every time he refused to acknowledge that there was something between us.
“Outside.” Cassis gripped my hand in his then raised it to his lips. “Lesson number one… Dark Ones know no fear.”
I was about to respond when a cold blast of air slammed me against the wall. I tried to move but the air held me immobile. My bre
athing came in short gasps as air pushed against my mouth.
Cassius leaned in, his lips grazing my ear. “Afraid?”
“No,” I wheezed.
The pressure increased.
Why was nobody helping me?
Because you can help yourself. Cassius’s voice was a small whisper in my head.
I closed my eyes and then willed my hands to push out in front of me as I turned the wind on Cassius.
With a grunt, I had him slammed against the floor, the same wind pushing him down.
“Oh, no!” I covered my mouth with my hands and leaned over him. “Are you okay?”
His smile was bright.
Deadly.
A bit more erotic than I’d ever seen it.
“Oh, yes.” He chuckled darkly. “More than okay, I think.” He reached for my head tugging it down to press a hungry kiss against my mouth.
“Is that porn?” Mason whispered.
Alex let out a groan. “No, Wolf…”
“But they are engaging in front of others? Is that not what Porn is? Why Genesis said no to the other store we walked by with the bright lights and—”
“Where the hell are you taking him at night?” Alex yelled. “Geez, Genesis, he’s like an innocent. You can’t just prostitute the pinecones out of him!”
Genesis let out a loud laugh. “Don’t worry about it. What’s between me and Mason is between me and Mason.”
Another loud crunch of a pinecone.
Cassius pulled away from me. “Outside?”
“Yeah, let’s take this outside.”
“Big boy.”
Cassius’s warm laughter made my entire morning.
Stephanie
“TEACHING YOU,” HE EXPLAINED once we were outside. “Isn’t the same as showing you… therefore… we’re just going to get into it.”
“Into it?” I asked.
Cassius grabbed my arm, the cold stung like icy needles running up and down my arm.
