A Werewolf, A Vampire, and A Fae Walk Into A Bar (Book 1 of The Last Witch Series) novel Chapter 24

I pry my gaze away from his huge--

“Can I be of service?” he asks, and dear heaven help me I just want to throw myself at this man.

“Um. Sorry. I didn’t know anyone was in here.”

He takes another step closer, until our bodies are almost touching. “I don’t mind sharing.”

I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore. All I can think is 1: why aren’t we both naked? 2: how can I brush my teeth before this goes any further? And 3: who cares what my third thought is. Let’s go back to one.

Why aren’t we both naked?

I feel lost in the woods when I look into his eyes, and as his arm slides around my waist, pulling me against the hard length of his body, I go weightless.

He brushes his lips against my neck. “You feel it too.”

I don’t know what ‘it’ means, but yes, I certainly feel something.

He flicks his tongue against the spot he bit in the bath, and heat pools in my abdomen as my body aches in need of him.

“Careful, woman. You’re playing with fire.”

When he pulls away from me, I feel like a balloon that’s been deflated. And as he walks out, closing the door behind him, I lean against the bathroom counter and take a deep breath.

Damn him.

Once I can stand without shaking, I groom and dress for the day, then head to the living room.

The Sexies are still gathered around the table, and I wonder if they just stayed up all night staring at each other like weirdos--with the exception of Zev, of course, who at least had a brief break to torture me in the bathroom.

They explain that they did not, with Rune and Zev sleeping in shifts, while Darius of course remained awake since he’s a creature of the night.

While I slept, a few plans were hatched. I’m not allowed to travel without a guard, and I can’t be alone with just one prince until the pledge takes effect. Therefore, Rune and Zev will accompany me on my journey to see my grandma. Journey is their word, not mine--we’re driving like fifteen minutes down to Ipswich.
