My pulse raced, and I licked my lips. “No, Bunny. I wish she was here so I could put her lying, cheating face through a fucking window, then slit her throat with the broken pieces. How dare she treat your heart with such disrespect?” I placed my palm over his chest, feeling the quick pounding of his heartbeat against my skin. “Whatever happened to her, she deserved it. And worse.”
He stared at me from just inches away, his emerald eyes studying my eyes like he was searching for something. Then he stroked the backs of his fingers down the side of my face.
“You’d kill for me, mon cœur?”
I frowned. “Of course I would.” Because the fiercely protective alpha bullshit was a mutual feeling. I would slaughter entire cities for hurting my Bunny, regardless of whether he needed my protection or not.
A dazed smile crossed his lips, then he kissed me again. This time his kiss was softer, sweeter, full of promises, and it made me feel like the most precious thing on earth.
“We should probably go,” I groaned when he hitched my legs up around his waist. I was still lacking underwear, so the only thing between us was his suit pants. “Kai will be out there keying your car or something.”
Leon scoffed. “Like I fucking care.” He carried me with him as he sat down into the armchair, his fingers making quick work of his fly to free his erection. “He can set it on fire if it makes him feel better. Because I’m in here fucking the girl he thinks he loves.”
My breath shuddered as his pierced tip pushed inside my aching pussy, and I sank down onto his length. The whole Kai versus Leon thing was apparently going to come to a head tonight, thanks to Kai’s surprise return. But could anyone really blame me for one last quickie before handling all those heavy emotions?
I had a horrible feeling that before the night was over, someone would have their heart broken. So yeah, I let Leon prolong our stolen moment, riding him hard and fast in the armchair. He played with my clit, his gaze intense as I came on his cock.
Barely a second after my orgasm started to fade, he finished inside me with a grunt, his hips bucking up into me. Then he shot me an evil smirk and lifted me back to my feet. The sudden absence of his dick combined with gravity meant his cum immediately started leaking down my thigh, and I made a sound of protest.
“Dammit, Bunny,” I snapped, “was that necessary?”
“God, yes,” he groaned, quickly fixing his pants, then dragged me out of the little closet by the hand. We hurried through the main club, and my wet thighs brushed together with every step as he pulled me out of Meow Lounge with his fingers linked in mine.
Kai was out in the parking lot, exactly as I expected despite having told him to go back to the house. He wasn’t keying Leon’s car, but I guessed he probably just didn’t know which one it was. Instead, he was leaning against the side of my stolen Stingray with his huge arms folded over his chest and a vein in his temple throbbing with fury.
His gaze locked on mine, then dropped to my undoubtedly swollen lips, then lower.
Great. Now I knew why Leon just rushed me out here so quickly, while his cum was quite literally dripping down my thigh.
“You two are as bad as each other,” I snarled, tugging my hand free of Leon’s grip.
“Me? What did I do?” Leon gave me a wide-eyed innocent look, and I narrowed my eyes back at him. He was fully fucking aware that he was being a brat, marking his territory in front of Kai.
“You both can go to hell right now.” I stomped over to the driver’s door of the Stingray and popped it open. “Last I checked, I wasn’t a piece of meat for you two feral dogs to fight over. Find your own way back to the house, I need some alone time.”
I climbed into the driver’s seat and slammed my door, hitting the central lock button when I saw Kai reach for the passenger side. He tugged on the handle, but it didn’t budge.
“Siren, come on,” he called through the window, but I just extended my middle finger and hit the gas. That motherfucker thought he could sneak off in the middle of the night, no calls, no texts, then show up and have the audacity to be hurt and offended that I’m screwing Leon. Nah, fuck that noise. He needed a lesson in who was in charge around here.
I glanced in the mirror before turning the corner and saw a powerful backfist from Leon slam into Kai’s face while the bigger man was still staring after me. Fair’s fair, I guess.
Speeding away from Meow Lounge, I tried to talk myself into some calm breathing. I wasn’t worried about either of them dying tonight, now that I had a second to really process the situation we were in. Leon knew, he fucking knew that he wasn’t allowed to kill Kai. And Kai… for all his attributes, I doubted he had the necessary skill to kill Leon, even if he wanted to.
Surely he wouldn’t be stupid enough to try, either. He knew Leon was an executioner. Ugh, the more I thought about it, the more I remembered Kai had an ego the size of Texas and a temper like a bull with a bee-sting. He would definitely try, so I just had to hope Leon respected me enough not to slit his throat.
“Fuck’s sake,” I muttered to myself, running a hand over my face. My lips were swollen and puffy from Leon’s rough kisses, and my thighs sticky as I shifted in my seat. I wasn’t ready to go straight back to the house and launch into their pissing match just yet, and certainly not on an empty stomach. So I detoured into Shadow Grove’s center and browsed for any eateries that might still be open at this time of night.
Much to my disappointment, Nadia’s Cakes was already closed, but there was a drive-thru burger place open a few blocks away. Probably a better idea, given how I was dressed. Or undressed. The twinkling Christmas decorations through the streets of Shadow Grove seemed almost mocking after the scene I’d just left.
I ordered my food, then took my time driving back to the mansion safe house while eating my burger. By the time I drove through the gate and headed up toward the house, my stomach was full and my head was clearer. Yes, this was going to be a shit show. But it had been coming for a while, and at least I’d done the worst of it by telling Leon over the phone, where he had no choice but to listen and process in a controlled environment.
Of the two of them, Leon was absolutely the one I’d been more worried about reacting badly. And by badly, I definitely meant violently. I could imagine if the tables were turned and he’d walked into a sex club to find me and Kai doing the same thing, he would have thrown an axe, not a punch.
I let out a long breath when I spotted two vehicles parked in front of the house. One gunmetal gray Aston Martin and one Ducati motorcycle.
“I guess they’re both alive, then,” I muttered, grabbing my drink and the last of my fries as I climbed out of the Stingray. “And must be conscious if they could drive themselves.”
So… progress, right? Maybe they could sort their shit out without me. That’d be nice.
I keyed in the access code and pushed into the foyer, glancing around for any sign of damage. But there was no broken furniture or blood splattered on the walls. It was… unnerving.
“Kai?” I called out cautiously. “Leon? Are you guys… here?” And breathing?
“Down here!” Leon called back, and I followed the sound of his voice along the corridor to the security hub where he had a small palm-size laptop plugged into the central unit. His cheekbone was grazed and looked like a bruise was forming, but otherwise he seemed totally unscathed.
