“No, I won’t get dressed, and we’re not doing this, Zane.”
Hurt slashed across his expression and he swallowed, touching his glasses again even though he’d already pushed them up. “Oh, alright. I understand. I won’t bother you anymore.”
I threw my head back and let out a long-aggravated sound. “Damn it, Zane. That’s not what I meant.”
“I’m sorry?” Zane paused at the doorway, half in half out of the room. “I don’t know what you mean then.”
I pulled the sheet off my body, curling up onto my hands and knees and crawled toward him. “I mean, shut the fucking door and kiss me.”
Lust burned through the hesitancy in his actions, his eyes eating up every exposed inch of me. He didn’t seem to even notice when he was suddenly next to the bed with my hands on his pants. “Eva, we can’t. The demon–”
“Can wait his turn.” I jerked his pants open until he fell out into my hands long, hard, and all mine.
“No, I mean...” Zane tried to step away from me, but I stroked a hand down him, cupping his balls. “Fuck, Eva. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t.” I pressed myself against him. “We’re not having this conversation, Zane. I don’t care what happened. It wasn’t your fault. I like to play with your demon, and I let him get out of control. So you can either sulk about something you can’t control, or you can fuck me right now.”
“But weren’t you with Luke and Blake just now?”
I leaned back on the bed and spread my legs, bringing him to my entrance. “Does that bother you? I could shower first.” I smirked coyly. “You could help.”
“No, it doesn’t.” He shook his head, pulling his glasses from his face to tuck into his shirt before chucking off the rest of his clothes. “What if they come back?”
“Oh, they will,” I told him, directing him inside of me. “And they too can wait their turn.”
We didn’t take our time. We were both ravenous to have the other. The need to be close after such a traumatic event drove us with each thrust and kiss. By the time the twins came back, my back arched and my hips stuttered against Zane’s, crying out my release.
“Well, it looks like we’re sharing,” Luke commented from the doorway, not at all put out by Zane’s presence.
Zane pulled out of me suddenly, spewing his climax across my breasts and stomach. A savage look, his eyes burning red, flashed over me before they faded back to hazel.
I stroked my hand down Zane’s back, brushing his hair behind his ear. “I guess I’m getting a bath after all.”
Zane choked out a laugh, pulling back to see the mess his demon had made. “My apologies, he showed up so quickly.”
I sighed. “It’s alright, Zane. It’s the universe telling me I can’t just spend all my time in bed.”
Zane lifted me into his arms and carried me to the bathroom while the twins cleaned up the bed. He sat me on the bench in the shower and turned on the spray, angling it away until the water warmed.
“I know you said you didn’t want to talk about it...”
“And I don’t,” I reminded him, a content sound coming from me as Zane dragged the spray across my body.
“I know, but I need to talk about it.” Zane knelt before me, peering up at me in between the steam. “This is going to keep happening. Sometimes you’ll be able to control him and, other times, he’ll control me and then someone is going to get hurt or worse killed.”
I busied myself untangling his hair from his braid, dragging the strands out to the sides. “Zane, I know what I signed up for.”
“But I can’t let you be with me like this.” Zane leaned me back against the wall, slowly wetting my hair before stroking the spray down the rest of my body.
At first, I thought he was going to make this something sexy, and my body clenched in anticipation before he hooked the sprayer back on its hook.
Zane clasped my hands with his own. “I’m not going to lose you over this. I couldn’t live with myself if you or one of the others died because of him.”
I let out a frustrated growl, wrapping my hand in his hair, tugging him toward me. “And I can’t live without you. Short of sending your demon back to hell, what do you want me to do?”
Zane peered up at me, his eyes widening.
“What?” I squinted at him. “What did I say?”
