Wanting to switch to a lighter topic, he added, We’d also like to do this to you. He telepathed her an extremely filthy image that made her face flush.
No way. That’s an exit-only zone.
Even as the four of them fell into a conversation, Teague and Larkin continued their telepathic war, exchanging explicit image after explicit image until his cock was hard and his demon was ready to mount her right there.
At one point, Harper’s brow puckered as she observed them closely. “You two okay? You look . . . tense. And distracted.”
Teague explained, “Larkin and I are having a somewhat filthy telepathic conversation—”
“Teague,” the harpy hissed, flushing.
He widened his eyes. “What do you want me to do? Lie?”
“It’s what you do on plenty of other occasions,” she sniped.
“And you’re the one who wants me to be more honest, remember? That’s what I’m doing.”
Unsuccessfully stifling a smile, Harper said, “Well, I guess Knox and I will leave you to your dirty chat.”
The male Prime cleared his throat. “Yes, that might be best.”
After the mated pair walked away, Larkin cast Teague another hard glare. “Are you trying to give me an ulcer? Is that what this is?”
“No.” He snaked his hand up her back and palmed her nape. “I mean, I am pushing toward my goal of giving you a permanent eyelid-twitch—I think it’ll look good on you—but all I want here and now is to make you wet for me. And you are.” He could smell it. It was driving his demon nuts in the best way.
“A permanent eyelid-twitch?” she echoed, evidently choosing to ignore the rest of what he’d said.
“Yes.” He lowered his head to breeze his lips over hers. “But I’m more interested in discussing how wet you are and just how badly I want to lick you clean.”
The need glinting in her eyes bloomed, turning the gray-green pools a little glassy. The rising sexual tension was an incessant pulse in the air between them, impossible to ignore. It held his body captive, and he could see that she was no less affected. But his harpy stubbornly shook her head.
“Why bother talking about it when it’s never going to happen?” she questioned. “We agreed that the other night would be a one-off.”
He hiked up a brow. “Did we? As I recall it, you told me we needed to leave it as a one-time thing. I don’t share that opinion. I made no secret of that.”
“And I was clear that I’m not interested in being anyone’s booty call, nor do I want a cheap fling. If that doesn’t matter to you, think of Khloë. She might have excused you from breaking your oath, but that’s only because she bought your bullshit that it was a practice run. She wouldn’t excuse it again. So just drop the whole thing.”
“Not sure if I can,” he admitted, his voice pitched low and deep, “since I’ve thought of little else but fucking you again since moments after I first had you.”
An aroused flush creeping up her neck and face, she cursed. “Do you have to be so difficult?”
“Yes.”
“Is there a reason for that?”
“Not one that wouldn’t irritate you.” He gently nipped at her bottom lip, his teeth barely grazing it. “You can hiss and spit, but I know you’re thinking about it. Thinking about how it felt to have my cock balls deep inside you. Thinking about how you want it to happen again.” He tightened his hold on her waist, tugging her lower body closer so she’d feel how hard he was. “You were so hot and tight. You took my dick like you were born for it.”
“I get that from guys a lot,” she said, her tone airy yet meant to provoke. As if he were that easily riled.
“You really want to go down that road? I mean, we could talk about our past sexual experiences, I guess. There was this one woman—” He stopped as her eyes bled to black and the temperature cooled in an instant.
Her demon glared at him. “Push her buttons all you please. I would, after all, prefer that you wear her down. But I will not listen to stories of your past exploits.” Its gaze dropped to his neck, as if something caught its eye. It poked its finger beneath his collar and tapped his gold chain. “Can I have this?”
He felt his lips twitch. So easily distracted by something shiny. “No.”
Its frown was almost childlike. “But I want it.”
His beast nickered, amused. “Tough shit. I’ll buy you one, though. How’s that?”
Humming, it skimmed its fingers through his hair. “Have you ever been waterboarded?”
His lips twitched again. “No.”
“I think I would like watching you fight for breath.”
God, he fucking loved this demon. “What else would you like to do?”
“To you? Many things.” It nuzzled his throat. “Some you would enjoy. Some you would not. I would very much like to see how much pain you can take; to see you covered in bruises and welts.”
