I tugged my shirt over my head and tossed it away so my breasts were bared, and a growl escaped him as he stepped closer, capturing my waist and pulling me flush against him like our skin was desperate to touch. And as soon as his hands were on me, I realised there were no more walls, no more rules or laws keeping us apart anymore. It was just us and screw what anyone else in Solaria thought of that.
“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather I share a room with someone else, Blue?” he asked, amusement glittering in his eyes.
There was only one place I wanted him to be tonight, and he damn well knew it. He just wanted me to spell it out. But this frantic energy between us was going to consume me whole if I didn’t give into it soon.
“Shut up, Lance,” I said breathily.
“So mouthy today.” His fingers wound into my hair and he tugged, making my head drop back and exposing my neck to him.
“If you want blood, you can fight me for it,” I taunted, flicking my fingers and casting a firm air shield against my throat like a second skin.
He smiled like a demon, his eyes sparking with the challenge. “Don’t bait a Vampire unless you want to be hunted, Miss Vega.”
“This isn’t a classroom, Professor. If you want to teach me a lesson, you’d better do it with your hands.”
“Fine by me.” He shoved me down onto the bed, grabbing my hips and flipping me onto my front so fast that I bounced on the mattress. He yanked my pants down and his hand clapped hard against my ass, making me gasp, the sharp bite of pain giving way to pleasure as I moaned.
The door suddenly opened and I cursed as Orion yanked me to my feet and shoved me behind him while I tugged my freaking pants up.
“Woah, sorry. Didn’t realise things were getting Fifty Shades of Blue in here,” Seth laughed obnoxiously. “I mean, I did ‘cause I heard you, but don’t mind me. I’ve seen everything before and I mean eve-ry-thing. I once watched a guy ear-fuck a girl.”
I glanced out from behind Orion who immediately grabbed my top from the floor with his Vampire speed and yanked it over my head to cover me up, leaving my arms pinned to my sides by the material. I pouted at him as I pushed my arms through the holes and narrowed my eyes on Seth.
“So you’re just gonna continue breaking into every room I ever occupy without knocking, are you?” I asked and Seth grinned wolfishly.
“Nah, this is my room too, roomie.” He walked straight past us and dove onto the double bed.
Orion immediately picked him up and threw him at the door like he weighed no more than a pitball, but Seth casually caught himself on a gust of air before he could collide with it.
“Get. Out,” Orion commanded, but Seth ignored him, U-turning to the space beside the door and raising his hands as he wielded the earth to make himself a single bed out of stone and coating it in a thick layer of moss.
“Guess I’ll take this bed then.” He dropped down on it, testing the softness of the mossy mattress he’d created as he bounced lightly on its surface. “When I was on the moon, everything was so soft. Because we didn’t really weigh much, see? It was like being in a bounce house at all times.”
“You’re not sharing a room with us,” Orion snarled, stepping toward him as he squared his shoulders and I had to agree with him. I wanted some alone time with Orion after everything, but I was so exhausted from the battle I was struggling to summon the energy for this fight.
Seth turned his large eyes on me as he cast a fluffy pillow of moss in his arms and hugged it to his chest. “Max went with Xavier, so I got stuck with Caleb,” he breathed, a plea in his eyes.
“So?” Orion snapped and Seth flicked a finger, casting a silencing bubble around me and him, cutting Orion out of the conversation.
“I’ll get an awkward boner,” he begged. “It happened the last time we slept together, but I got away with blaming it on his buttcrack feeling like a moon crater that time. I won’t get away with that repeatedly, Darcy. He’ll figure it out. And then it’ll ruin our friendship. I can’t lose him over this. Maybe I can get over him if I just have some time. I need some time. Please give me some time. I can’t go to anyone else because you’re the only one who knows. So when I heard you in here, I thought ‘hey, my friend Darcy will take me in, she wouldn’t turn me away.’” He looked so pathetic, and my heart was tugging so hard that I was already nodding my agreement.
Orion was working to break the silencing bubble, a look of savage anger on his face that said I was going to have a real challenge on my hands in convincing him to let Seth sleep here.
