River finished his bartending by squeezing some lime juice into his drink. “I wanna see Lucian’s coffin. He didn’t offer us a grand tour, and that’s what I’d like to call suspicious behavior from a polite guy like Lucian Leroux.”
I grinned and shook my head. “What’s this obsession with vampires about?”
“It’s my attempt at being funny,” he deadpanned.
I laughed. “All right, vampire hunter. Let’s take a grand tour without the guide.”
“Aces. But, for the record, I prefer vampire slayer.”
“Okay, Buffy.” I took a swig of my drink and followed him out of the kitchen, and he veered right, down a hall.
The bathroom was…a bathroom.
Across the hall was Lucian’s bedroom, and River and I stopped in the doorway.
Hot damn. That was a big bed. Dark colors in here too, green and burgundy, and—was that a camera? Yup. He had a nice camera on a tripod in the corner.
“Someone shoots homemade porn.” River had spotted the setup as well. “That’s hot. Good camera too.” He walked over there to inspect. “I kinda wish Reese and I had footage of when we hooked up with Lucas.”
They’d hooked up? Huh.
“Is he a switch or…?” I just knew he was a Daddy Dom. A damn sweet one, at that.
“Nah,” River responded. “Just an occasional bottom who likes it rough.” He looked back at me. “It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s got hopes for tonight.”
Oh really.
I took another sip of my drink, and it was impossible to keep my mind from considering possibilities. I hadn’t gotten laid in a while… Long enough for me to eye everyone with interest. Okay, not everyone; I was frustratingly picky, even for one-night stands, but at this point, I wouldn’t turn down anyone in this condo. The twins were obscenely sexy, same with Lucian, who had a polished air about him that I wanted to mess up with a rough round in the sack, and Lucas ticked tons of boxes too. His dominance was quieter but nevertheless there, and he was one of those men who… How should I put it… I wanted to see how far his patience extended by pushing buttons.
He reminded me of Sloan in that regard. Not that I wanted him. He was my best friend, despite that he usually canceled on me.
“You’re interested.” River smirked at me.
I let out a chuckle and finished my drink. The booze was working its way through my system. My tongue already felt looser, and I didn’t hesitate to be honest.
“We’re basically standing in a porn scene, and you’re tellin’ me an occasional bottom might show up with hopes,” I said. “Fuck poker.”
Speak of the devil…
We heard Reese and Lucian greet someone on the other side of the apartment, and it could only be Lucas.
River grinned and started making his way back, taking in his surroundings while he walked and sipped his drink. The shelves, the flat-screen, the fancy chesterfield chair…
He cleared his throat when he was just a couple feet away. “What if someone else wanted to bend over for you?”
I lifted my brows. Was he referring to himself? Because sign me the fuck up. That would be a hot fantasy come true.
I leaned against the doorframe and set down my glass on a side table. “Then he should step right up and lay one on me.”
He raked his teeth across his bottom lip, then mirrored my move and set down his glass.
He didn’t hesitate either. He closed the distance between us and cupped the back of my neck, just a fraction of a second before he covered my mouth with his own.
I smiled a little and kissed him back, and a slow shudder pushed desire through me. My hands ended up low on his hips, and I angled myself to deepen the kiss. I wanted to taste the drink on his tongue. He had sharp features and the right amount of stubble, and that slight rasping sound when his chin brushed against mine turned me on further.
“Tell me what you like.” I kissed him again, and he hummed and swept his tongue around mine.
“You wanna read my terms of abuse?”
I grinned quickly, then spun him around and pushed him up against the wall. He groaned into the next kiss, and I squeezed his ass.
“Yeah, that’s me. I’m a sucker for the fine print.”
He pulled in a breath and gave me access as I kissed my way down his neck. He smelled fucking incredible.
“Just fuck me hard and let the others watch,” he exhaled. “I want it on film. In that bed over there.”
God-fucking-dammit, I had to pace myself. Everything he said went straight to my cock, and I was ready to go.
“The whole world can watch, for all I care. You won’t notice them.” I got his mouth once more and kissed him deeply, but our time was running out for the moment. I could hear voices coming down the hall. They were probably wondering where we were.
