MoonlightTemptation (18 page)

When she slung her leg over his waist, he reached for her
hips to help guide her to his cock.

She was as anxious as he was, wrapping her hands around his
shaft to make it stand up straight. Then she rolled her hips and took him in.

In the pale light spilling through the open door, he saw her
head fall back on her shoulders as she sank onto him. Her lips parted and she
moaned his name.

And when she started to ride him, slow and steady, his head
kicked back into the pillows. The tight grip of her sex on his cock made his
balls tighten and threaten to explode too soon.

God damn, she felt so fucking good. And she looked like a
goddess above him. With her eyes closed and her full lips parted, she drove him
beyond lust to something deeper, toward an emotion he wasn’t ready to
acknowledge.

He’d only met her two days ago.

And yet…

“You’re so fucking beautiful.”

Her eyes fluttered open as she continued to ride him, faster
now. She smiled as she put her hands on his shoulders to brace herself as she leaned
forward until her lips were only centimeters from him.

“You make me feel like I am.”

She dropped a light kiss on his lips even as her sex clasped
his in slick heat.

A movement out of the corner of his eye made Ryan turn to
see Dane watching them from the doorway.

The hooded gaze and tight jaw belied his seemingly casual
position against the doorjamb. So did the bulge in his jeans.

Dane wanted to join them but Ryan knew he wouldn’t unless
specifically requested.

Ryan was about to motion for him to come to them but Evie
beat him to it.

She turned with a smile and curled her index finger at him.

He didn’t obey right away. But Ryan swore Dane’s mouth
actually curved into a smile for a brief few seconds.

When he did move, he took his time, shedding clothes as he
came closer.

Evie had paused, her body trembling above him while he tried
not to thrust hard and fast. His fingers dug into her hips, the skin smooth
under his, the muscles sleek.

He watched her watch Dane, saw the anticipation in her
expression. Felt that same anticipation spread through him as Dane stopped by
the side of the bed, opened the top drawer and retrieved a tube of lubricant
before he wrapped his hand around her neck and brought her to his mouth for a
hard, blistering kiss.

Ryan watched as Dane’s mouth covered hers, watched the play
of muscles in his jaw as he slid his tongue into her mouth. He watched Dane’s
hand cover her breast and roll the hardened nipple between his fingers.

Heat rolled through him as Dane broke the kiss to move onto
the bed behind her.

The mattress shifted as Dane straddled both Ryan’s and
Evie’s legs as he pushed her down to Ryan.

Ryan caught her mouth as she settled against his chest,
swallowing her gasp as Dane prepared her to take both of them.

Evie could barely think as Ryan kissed her and Dane’s body
crowded behind her.

She could only feel. And respond.

Her hips began to move again, tiny lifts and descents that
made Ryan groan and his fingers grip her almost painfully. But it was a good
pain that heightened her sensitivity everywhere.

As she moved, she felt the brush of Dane’s muscled thighs
against her ass, the tickle of his hair sending whispers of sensation that made
her pussy clench.

Then Dane slid one lubricated finger inside her ass. She
moaned at the sense of fullness, at the growing desperation. She felt Ryan’s
forced stillness as he waited for some sign from Dane.

But she couldn’t wait. She had to move. Especially when Dane
tunneled two fingers inside her ass. The pressure bit into her like teeth and
held on.

Her pussy clenched around Ryan as she lifted her ass higher
toward Dane, changing the angle of Ryan’s penetration enough to make him groan.

And when Ryan growled, “God damn it, Dane, fucking hurry.”
She felt a short, sharp orgasm flare through her, blinding her and making her
cry out.

Which made the men react with brute passion.

Dane put his hands on her ass and spread her cheeks then the
blunt, hot tip of his cock began to press against the tiny opening.

She tensed, never having had anal sex while another man was
lodged in her pussy. But she wasn’t about to tell Dane to stop. She wanted this
so bad but didn’t have the words to tell him.

“Easy, Evie.” Dane breathed in her ear as he leaned against
her back. “Don’t tense. Relax. Push back against me. Come on, sweetheart. This
will feel so fucking good.”

The soothing tone of his voice eased her tension and she did
as he told her.

The pressure as he breached her was almost too painful to
bear but once he got the head inside, he stopped and let her adjust to the
feel.

And what a feeling.

Sensory overload made her a creature of pleasure.

Filled to the limit, her body pulsing with fire, torn
between the throbbing beats of the two cocks inside her.

And when they started to move, her brain flickered and shut
down as her body let them take over.

Dane continued to forge forward until he’d completely lodged
his cock in her ass. His hands on her cheeks kept her spread open for him and
the brush of his pubic hair against her most sensitive flesh sent hard shivers
coursing through her body.

As soon as Dane had filled her completely, Ryan began to
withdraw. But he couldn’t move enough to fully thrust and Dane had to help him
move her.

They fucked her with total command, as if they controlled
her passion. And maybe they did.

Beneath her, Ryan’s straining body was slicked with sweat,
his hands moving from her waist to her breasts, until one hand sank in her hair
and pulled her head back enough for him to kiss her.

She latched on to his mouth and thrust her tongue against
his, matching the rhythm of his thrusts against her. She tasted Ryan’s passion
in his kiss, in every breath he took.

Behind her, she felt the heat coming off Dane’s body,
scalding her as he moved her to the rhythm he set with Ryan.

Dane’s hands had moved to her hips, his fingers tight, his
movements carefully controlled.

That biting fullness in her body began to morph into a
pleasure so great, she wasn’t sure she could live through it without burning
down the house.

That magical otherness burned through her, racing in her
veins as if searching for an exit.

No, she couldn’t let it. She needed to pull back—

Dane thrust hard against her, making her gasp as Ryan broke
the kiss to press his mouth against her throat, bared as Dane wove his fingers
through her hair and lifted her head.

“Come, Evie.” Dane’s voice was a shotgun blast of desire,
commanding her to obey. “I want to feel you tighten all around me.”

“No, no.” She couldn’t. She’d lose control, lose—

“Yes, baby.” Ryan’s voice, softer but no less forceful. “Do
it. Now.”

Her body obeyed. She came with a frission of heat that made
her convulse almost painfully, making both men groan as she tightened around
them.

Flares of heat engulfed her, blinding her to everything but
the fury of her orgasm.

Those flames wanted to consume her, to burn her to ash.

They licked along her skin, combined with her climax and
prolonged the ecstasy.

Gasping, she wanted to release that fire but somewhere in
the pleasure-soaked reaches of her mind, she knew if she lost control, that
heat would hurt Dane and Ryan.

No, I won’t allow them to be hurt.

While her body shuddered, her brain concentrated on
containing that fire until it slowly banked to embers.

Clinging to Ryan, she felt Dane pull out then curl around
her back.

Feeling as if she’d overcome a hurdle, or dodged a bullet,
she released a shaky breath then let sleep take her under.

Chapter Eight

“Miss Evie, can we do those math problems you told us about
yesterday?”

Evie smiled at Alex’s enthusiasm just as much as she did at
Jason’s groan.

In the few short hours she spent with the three boys, she’d
learned Alex loved math and science to the exclusion of all else, Jason hated
math and Mikey wanted to sit in a corner and read
Captain Underpants
.

“Why can’t we just play those games again?” Jason looked at
her with big, dark eyes. “I liked those.”

Though a year younger than Alex, Jason looked older. And so
much like Dane, she hadn’t been surprised to find out they were related.
Cousins, a couple places removed, Dane had said this morning when he dropped
her off at the community building with Ryan.

Ryan had taken his laptop across the hall to the lounge
area, where she could see him through the window in the classroom door. She
wished he’d find somewhere else to work. She couldn’t look at him and not think
about last night.

And she really couldn’t think about that now. She had to
focus on the boys.

After speaking to Mikey’s and Jason’s parents after class
yesterday, they’d decided mornings worked better than afternoons for everyone
involved.

Mikey’s mom, Miki, had even made a not-very-subtle hint that
she would love to see the boys have a full day of classes.

Evie’s heart had done a little happy dance. Her very own
class.

And then she’d thought about what that would entail.

Close proximity to Dane five days a week.

After last night, she still had no idea what to think about
their unconventional relationship. There were just so many questions she didn’t
have answers to.

Like… How long was Ryan going to stay? He had a job and a
home and a life in Philadelphia. What happened when he returned to it? Did they
just go their separate ways, no harm no foul?

How did they feel about her? How did she feel about them?

And would she always have to fight to control her gift?

“Miss Evie, are you okay?”

Mikey’s lisp-accented words drew her out of her head and
back where she needed to be.

She gave the blue-eyed boy a smile, ruffling his baby-soft
brown curls. “I’m fine. Just thinking about something.”

“About what?” Jason asked. “About games?”

Jason’s shaggy dark hair fell into his wide eyes as he
grinned. Evie swore she could see the devil in that smile and he smiled a lot,
which had drawn Alex to him like a moth to a flame. They made quite the pair.

“What about math games?” Alex chimed in. “That would be
fun.”

Jason’s expression went slack with disbelief. “Are you
kidding, dude? That would be awful.”

Evie didn’t try to hide her smile. “Jason, I think I’ve got
a game we can all play that everyone will like…”

A knock at the door made Evie turn to see Cat waving at her
through the window. When she motioned for her to come in, the boys turned as
well and Mikey’s smile widened.

“Cat! Have you come to play games with us?”

When Mikey walked over to her, she picked him up with a
smile and gave him a hug before setting him back on his feet. At seven, he was
the youngest of the boys and the shyest, but obviously not around Cat.

“Hey, Mike, my man. How are you?”

“I’m fine but Jason and Alex want to play math games and I’d
rather read. Would you read with me?”

After a quick glance at her, Cat said, “I think Miss Evie
wants you to give the game a try but I could stay and play too, if Miss Evie
says it’s okay.”

Mikey’s face lit up at the prospect. “Can she?”

“Of course, she can,” Evie said. “Why don’t you guys go sit
at the round table and Cat and I will bring the game.”

Cat followed her to the cabinet as the boys moved from their
desks, Jason helping Alex maneuver the wheelchair while Mikey moved chairs away
from the table to make room for the wheelchair at the table.

“Are you sure you’re okay with me being here?” Cat asked as
they got to the cabinet. “I don’t want to disrupt—”

“I’m actually glad you’re here.” Evie gave her a squeeze as
she pulled the game she wanted from the shelves. The teacher who’d stocked this
room before her had done it with an unlimited pocketbook and every educational
game Evie could have wanted was in this closet. “I was having a little trouble
trying to get Mikey involved but with you here, that problem’s solved.”

Cat gave her a hug too then blew out a sigh of relief. “
Thank
you. Mikey’s such a sweetheart. I used to babysit for him when Miki still
worked in the city last year.”

“No lessons of your own today?”

“Nah, the dads and I were supposed train but Dad caught a
meeting with Cole and Daddy Dan got called away to New Jersey to fix some
problem at one of the clubs.”

Evie knew part of the
lucani
-held businesses included
a string of nightclubs along the east coast. She hadn’t known Dan had a hand in
running them.

The
lucani
and the
streghe
were tightly knit
groups, intertwined in each other’s lives to a degree Evie had never
encountered in her life. Her little family of four had been tight growing up as
a child but both of her parents had been only children. No cousins, no aunts,
no uncles, only aging grandmothers on each side who’d died when she was young.

She and John had always been close, especially after their
mom died a couple of years ago, but his career in the navy had kept them apart
for months at a time. And then she’d been kidnapped…

Her gaze strayed to Alex who was smiling and looking even
better than he had yesterday.

Yes, life was weird and strange and, sometimes completely
fucked up.

But she belonged here. She
wanted
to belong here.
With Ryan and Dane and Cat and John and Kaine and a werewolf king. And
goddesses and gods and little pointy-eared dwarves who made amazing food.

She took the game to the table and began to set it up.
“Mikey, Cat will be your partner and Jason and Alex can be partners.” She
looked over her shoulder to see where Cat had gotten to and felt her heart
stutter at the girl’s expression. “What—”
