.”She didn’t want to live her life as a victim.“So what do I do?”Orion kissed her nose.“Hang out with us.”“You?” Be protected by the hot-bodied vampire? There were worse fates in life.“Would that be so bad?”“No.” Paula watched as the other men came toward her.Not bad at all.“Do I get to be part of your team?”“If you want,” Orion responded.“Do I need a cape?” Lots of material hid body flaws.It was worth considering.Did Wonder Woman have one? Duh.Forehead slap.Wonder Woman had a body most women would kill for.Orion chuckled.“Again, if you want.”“I’ll think about the cape.”Chapter EightPresent dayPaula stood limp and sated against Orion.When his mouth was on her neck it had the same effect as him filling her body.It overwhelmed her with the intensity of emotions that only sex could.She snuggled against him.Nowhere felt as safe and as good as it did in Orion’s arms.“This is madness,” Paula mumbled against his skin.“What is?”“You are.I am.” To Paula, it seemed against the odds that she could have found someone, let alone a vampire, she could love.“Us?”That had a nice ring to it.“Yes.”Orion lifted her up into his arms and walked over to the bed with her.“I like the idea of us.” He lay down beside Paula, holding her close against his body.“Me too.” There was only one problem; something Paula wanted to get out in the open.She wanted nothing to jeopardize the relationship blossoming between them.“About the other men—”“Do you enjoy playing with them?”That wasn’t what Paula expected to be asked.“Yes.” There was no point saying otherwise.The problem was, she needed Orion to understand that’s all it was—play.“Then that’s all I consider them.”“Are you reading my mind?”Orion chuckled.“I could but I only do that when I can’t work someone out.You, I can.I can see by the expression in your eyes you want the same things that I do.”“And what is that?” Could it be Orion craved the same thing she did?“Love.”Paula sighed and kissed his chest.“Do you think love can come out of crazy moments like we’ve had?”“The best love is forged by peril.”“Well, we’ve certainly had peril,” Paula conceded.She lifted her head and looked into the eyes of her lover.“Will you…” How do I ask without sounding like a hypocrite?“What?”“Take other women as lovers?” What was good for the goose…“No.”The definite tone of his voice surprised her.“You’re sure?”“Yes, I’ve spent a lifetime having sex with all types of women, but now the need I had to try and taste every kind is no longer there.”“Getting too old?” Paula teased.Orion tugged gently on her hair in retaliation.“No, I’m thinking I’ve found the one I want to spend time getting to know.”Me? “Really?” Her voice was breathless with hope.“I’ve spent years wandering around, aimlessly in some cases.I want to settle down.”“Can a vampire do that? You’re immortal after all.” What happens when I get old? Will he still want me then?“We are but we can allow ourselves to grow old if we chose.” Orion leaned over and kissed her lips softly.“I’ve been thinking about that a lot of late.”The thought that she might be the reason behind that made Paula’s face redden.“And yes, it’s because of you.”Thank you, fate.“But what if—”“This is just sex and nothing else? Do you think it is, sweetheart?”This was the thing that Paula was most concerned about.They had only just met.She didn’t want to come across as a woman desperate to hold on to the first man who was nice to her.“I want it to be more, but I don’t want to be one of those clingy women who hold on for all the wrong reasons.”“Your reasons are justified but not correct.”Yay! “So this isn’t just about the shadows?”Orion turned on his side, his elbow bent and his head resting on his hand.“It started that way, but all the best things happen when you least expect them.”There was a fast, barely there knock at the door before a naked Patrick walked in.“May I come in?”Orion smiled.“You are in, Patrick.”The blond man came and sat on the bed beside them.He reached out and stroked Paula’s leg.“So…”“So, what, Patrick?” Paula knew what he wanted and she liked the idea of being sandwiched between two hot-bodied men.Patrick grinned at her.“Don’t toy with me.”Paula reached over and touched his dick.“Like this?” She rubbed the pad of her thumb back and forward over the head.“Yes-s-s-s,” Patrick sighed.Paula looked at Orion.“Would it please you, sweetheart?” he asked her.“Only if you join in.” Paula knew it wouldn’t be as good without him.“My pleasure.”Or it would have been if the woman hadn’t landed with a thud in the middle of the bed.****Hardy Marchant’s hands shot out to stabilize her.This falling through air stuff was hugely overrated.God knows how Superman does it.Her fingers touched flesh.Naked flesh.Hard flesh.“What the hell?” Hardy pushed back the short blonde mop of hair from her face.“Fuck.” Literally.Two men and one woman were very naked and, judging by the blond man’s dick, very ready to have sex.“Who are you people?” Hardy looked around.Where am I now?“It’s our bed,” advised the woman.“Who the hell are you?”Hardy looked from her to the men.What a lucky woman.They were gorgeous.“Bloody hell, I have to stop thinking about sex.”“Why?” The blond man asked.“It got me where I am now.” Jeez, if I’d bought batteries for my vibrator, none of this would’ve happened.“I appear to have a problem.”“Yes?” the dark man said.“There’s this pirate king…”“Uh huh,” murmured the woman.“Who is horny as hell.”The woman sat up and looked at her with interest.“You don’t like sex?”“I love it.That’s the problem.I was a little lonely and a lot, er—”“Horny?” The blond man supplied.He was cute.“Correct and I summoned—”“Summoned?”“In a trance,” Hardy explained, no longer concerned she was in the middle of a bed with naked strangers.That was the least of her problems at the moment.“You can do that?”“Since childhood.” It was Hardy’s party trick.“Spooky,” the naked woman murmured.“Yeah, but the problem is, after we had sex—”“You didn’t come?”“Oh no,” Hardy responded.Her mind thinking back to the moment she had.“It was fantastic.But the thing is, he wants to marry me.”“Are you married?”“No.” If she was, Hardy would have been jumping her husband’s bones.Hardy winced at that.Bones.Yeesh.“You don’t like him?”Hardy shook her head.“He’s dead.”“You killed him?”“Nope, I summoned a dead man to have sex with.”The Endwww.amarindajones.comOther Books by Amarinda Jones:Bad Girl'Twas a Dark and Delicious ChristmasHushDicking AroundEat Me UpIndecent EncountersStrip For MeThe Not So Secret BabyIf Not For You [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
