The car stops, bringing me to the present. Claw opens the door for me to step out with Ray still in my arms. I nod to him once I’m out and head for the stairs to get to the elevator to go up to our bedroom.
As I step off the elevator on the sleeping-quarters level, I run into Bradan. His face is clouded over. He looks as if he’s ready to explode.
“What has happened?”
“I believe I’ve found one of the others.” He holds up an ID.
Glancing at the picture. My jaw tightens. She looks a bit like Ray with shorter, wavy hair. The name on the ID reads Taylor Ann Ducato.
“Where is she?”
“In my room. Kendrick, I think she’s my mate. What does this mean?”
“Mabruk said you all would find your mates. As I told you, these hunters are after them. They will continue to force them to us.
“Whatever changed is revealing them to us before they can get to them. We should be grateful for that.”
“That I am. Does this mean the other two will be our brothers’ mates? Did Ricci somehow father all our other halves?”
“The gods would be showing their sense of humor.”
“Well, I get the feeling they’re laughing their asses off.”
“Um. Where are you off to?”
“I can’t remain in a room with her and not put my hands on her. The fever is real and very strong. I need to go for a walk and clear my head.”
“You won’t be gone long,” I scoff. “The bond will draw you back to her.”
“It’s already pulling at me. I think it’s better I take off,” he murmurs.
“Do what you must. I will listen out for her.”
“Thanks, brother.”
“Is Ardan here? Has Reilly returned?”
“No, Ardan has been staying at his apartment the last few weeks. Reilly went for a ride to clear his head, I guess. You know how he gets. Is Ray all right?”
“She will be okay. It’s been a long two days. She needs the rest.”
“How did it go with Ricci?”
“I would like to find the others. Mates or not, I want to know more about them. I don’t think Candido is done with his plotting. I want to cut him off at the pass.”
“We will find them. Get Ray to bed. I will see you in the morning.”
Ray
I wake up and snuggle closer to the heat beside me. The heaviness around my waist tightens. Opening my eyes, I find a bare, tanned chest pressed against my face.
I look up and golden eyes stare back at me. Kendrick reaches to brush a lock of hair behind my ear. I smile at him and place a kiss on his smooth skin.
“How do you feel? Do you remember what happened?”
It all races back to me. Angelo, Venus using my powers to protect me, Kendrick killing Angelo. My mouth falls open.
“My father is going to be furious with me,” I say.
“Don’t be concerned with your father. He knows how to get rid of a body. He’s done it plenty of times before.”
“What aren’t you telling me? You know my father and a lot more about me than you’re saying. What’s your connection to my dad?”
“I would rather not talk about your father,” he rumbles.
“That’s fine for you. I, on the other hand, need answers.”
“I’m not talking about this tonight, Ray.”
I frown at him and sit up to get out of the bed. I need some space to think to myself. I think I’m about to get up, but Kendrick grabs me and plucks me up.
The next thing I know, I’m straddled over his face. He has a tight hold of my thighs as he feasts on me. I sag into him and moan.
“Do you still want to talk, baby?” he groans from beneath me.
I shake my head. “No,” I whimper.
He releases a dark laugh. “Good, now be a good girl and ride my face.”
I nod in response and begin to rock my hips. This feels ten times better than last night. I lock my fingers into his hair and hold on tight. His hums and groans send shivers through me.
“Kendrick,” I cry out.
Just when I think it can’t get any better because, come on, the man is eating my pussy like the best meal he’s ever had. He then begins to rub my clit. However, he’s not just rubbing me.
There’s an electric current coming from his fingers that’s making it feel like he’s holding a vibrator against me. My body locks up and my stomach caves. My legs are trembling around his head.
“Ah, yes. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,” I scream.
I soak his face, but I don’t get to be embarrassed about it, even if I want to be. I’m airborne before I can catch my breath. My eyes roll back as he guides me onto his length.
