I rolled my eyes. “I prefer women, not wolves.”
“Could have fooled me.”
“Oh, please!” I pulled him to his feet. “Tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you. It’s the least I can do.”
He shook his head slowly. “Not even a siren as practiced as you can take the hollow ache away.”
“You’re right,” I whispered. “But I can soothe it.”
I exhaled across his face then pulled away while his body went limp and then with a roar he ran into the bathroom and slammed the door behind him.
Minutes later, he stomped back into the room. “What the hell was that?”
“Think of it like… a mental sexual experience, only better. It feels real. But it’s not. Takes the ache away. I tried to find a really hairy one for you.”
“You’re a bastard.”
“What? You didn’t like her?”
“She… she mounted me!” He shoved me against the wall.
I burst out laughing. “I thought wolves liked that sort of thing, plus, you still got off… don’t lie, I can smell it on you.”
“I could kill you.”
“But you won’t.”
“But I won’t.” He finally smiled.
“Because beggars can’t be choosers, especially after a hundred years, right?”
He burst out laughing.
It was the first real laugh I’d heard from him.
Since his mate died.
The door to my room burst open revealing Cassius and Ethan.
Ethan’s arm shot out to stop Genesis from entering, his eyes were crazed while Stephanie took one step in and then slowly backed out leaving Cassius glaring at the two of us.
“What were you three doing?”
Hope chose that opportune time to wake up and grumble. “Playing… tag.”
Mason coughed into his hand while I said. “We took turns being it.”
Confusion washed over Cassius’s features before he sniffed the air and then sent a murderous expression in my direction. “We’ll discuss your orgy later. Right now. I need you downtown. Bannik has resurfaced.”
“Did he just say orgy?” Mason asked exactly what I was thinking.
“Genesis is teaching him way too much,” I grumbled and then winked at Hope. “Watch over my mate for me, Mason?”
“Yeah, yeah.” He huffed and then joined her on the bed.
She scooted away and eyed him skeptically. “Did we kiss?”
He flushed and then shrugged. “So, you like baseball?”
