Pulling my lip between my teeth, I crawled across the couch toward Mason His eyes flickered with surprise, like he hadn’t expectedme onto his lap

When I was straddling hi infeatures, and enigreen eyes

In the secret, private part of hts existed that I’d never tell anyone else, I could aduys

And now I had a dare to hide behind, an excuse I ain

I wasn’t going to fucking waste it

Taking charge, I reached up and ranit inmy lips to his He smelled like cedar and spice, and hisand slow and deep, exploring his ht to be doing this

Like he was mine

We kissed for a while, and for a long time, he left his hands at his sides But finally, he seemed to lose so the curve of my spine as he kissed me harder

I almost lost track of the dare, of the point of all this It was only the low grunt from Cole that drew me back to my senses

He was the farthest away from me on the couch, but when I broke away froht come over there and ripme back to his cave

But he didn’t fucking own me And he was the one who’d dared me to kiss all of them

So he could wait his damn turn

I cli in my core, and moved toward Elijah next

He looked almost… concerned as I approached hiood idea at all

But it was It really was I wasn’t sure anyone had ever had a better idea in all their life
