blood and their tongues twirled in a dance of their own. Anton continued to rock in and out of her, hi s cock strok ed over her clit and push ed her closer to another orgasm. Only Anton’s moans put an end to the dance. Madden moved away. “Suck , ” he said to Layla as he kiss ed along her shoulder and watched her .
Layla latched her mouth onto Anton and drew in small bursts of blood. She felt her own clit become engorged, oversensitive . R ipples rolled through her body as she let go o f Anton’s neck and threw her head back. She screamed out Anton’s name, felt his semen fill her core as his blood filled her body. She screamed out Madden’s name, fel t his kisses still showering her neck and his hands stroking her back. The three of them were tangled and it felt absolutely right.
Chapter Six
“Rise and shine. ”
Layla rolled from the warm body she had slung herself over to seek out the overly cheerful voice. “Anton, why are you awake so early?” Her voice was husky with sleepine ss.
“It is not early. And I require very little sleep. I will always bring breakfast to you because it is what I’ve always done.” His voice allowed for no argument , so instead she stretched and began to get out of bed and put on her robe. After several days a nd incredible night s with these men, she was no longer bashful of her nudity , but she would still eat in clothes.
Madden rolled over to look at her and smiled. “I am all yours today, l ove. We will do whatever you’d like.”
This m ade Layla smile even more.
“I have to warn you both that Adelina has requested you visit with her today to discuss the Pronouncement. You both are well aware it happens at the first full moon after the Claiming , which is just a week away.”
Layla’s smile dimmed b ut didn’t fade. Her nerves shot up , but as Anton gathered her into his arms, a sense of peace came back to her.
“It is only the ceremony. You are already Madden’s mate , ” Anton assured her with his words as he passed her a small plate of pastry . Madden quickly snatched one away from her as was now quite predictable behavior . Though she couldn’t find an ounce of fat on the man, he sure did like his sweets.
“And she will simply want to make this the most extravagant event she can get away with,” Madden laughed, aware that this would not make Layla at ease.
“Madden,” Anton admonished and Madden attempted to look contrite though t h e mischievous grin he gave around the bite of pastry could never pass for apologetic in the least.
“I will have you know that I simply don’t like attention drawn to me. I am , however , quite pleased with my destiny.” Caught up in the moment, Layla spoke so casually, having come to accept her new life over the past week quite well. The deafening silence in the room proved she had not yet shared that realization with either man. Yes, she definitely remembered now she’d yet to speak the words.
“Truly, Layla?” Madden moved closer to where she stood. Oh, he was such a handsome man. She’d been lucky to find him and had a difficult time now remembering why she was ever doubtful.
Layla thought back over the past week . E ach conversation whi spered in the dark, shared over tea in the gardens drew her closer to Madden. His outer appearance was sexy on its own . Then combined with his quick wit and intelligence, his sense of loyalty and family, she was enamored . Layla adored knowing she could claim this man as hers.
When he’d finally told her about his work, she realized the full strength of her mate. Madden was the director of an invisible arm of the US government, known only to those involved in utilizing the Valendite Breeds to eliminate the worst of the world’s most he inous criminals.
