“As you should be. Gold suits you. Jade chose well.”
“That she did. But I’m not certain she knows what she did and how.”
“Do you? Because I’ve yet to make sense of it.”
I shrug. Deciding to keep my theory to myself. “I suppose I simply grew tired of myself. Of feeling the same awful way about the same thing.”
“You mean, when you saw Vrahs and me together that day in the kitchen?”
I nod. “I felt excluded and unworthy, like I always do, and I decided I was tired of feeling that way. So I changed my behavior, my mindset.”
“Well, it looks good on you. And I’m happy to have you in my bed anytime you wish.”
I stifle a laugh. “Yes, well, thank you, but—”
“Uh-uh, no ‘thank you buts’. Just be flattered that I’ve offered you the opportunity.”
“Right. Flattered that an incubus wants to fuck me. I’ll get right on that.”
“I mean it, Ryker. Don’t dismiss the progress you’ve made. It’s hard for our kind to change, especially when we grow as old as we have. You’ve accomplished something remarkable. Be proud of it.”
I nod. “Thank you,” I say, in earnest this time.
“You’re welcome.” Thorne takes three steps backward and sits on the bed behind him. “Now, what do ya say? Want to maybe put those new boundaries where your mouth is?” He pats the bed next to him, and I freeze in place.
“I hardly think now’s the time, brother.”
Thorne shrugs. “There’s always time for some quick debauchery.”
“But our mate’s friend?”
“Will be fine. She’s sleeping off the healing magic you shoved down her throat. She’ll be out for days.”
I rub the back of my neck, needing a little more convincing.
“Don’t make me tell you twice, Ryker. Bring that tremendous, golden cock over here and let me see how much I can fit in my mouth.”
I’m hard at the thought, at Thorne’s words, and the image they evoke.
But I can’t. I want to, but...
“We can’t be holed up here fucking each other while Jade is likely having a crisis of conscious. Plus, we need to find out how she feels about us fucking behind her back before we actually fuck behind her back.”
Thorne pulls a massive frown. “Spoil-sport.”
“Yeah. But you know I’m right.”
“No, I don’t. Jade was more than happy to watch us pleasure each other while Vrahs railed her. I think she’d be fine with it.”
“Sure. She might be. But I’m not risking hurting her if she’s not when all it takes to find out is a fucking conversation, Thorne.”
My incubus brother sulks on the bed, posture and cock entirely deflated.
THORNE
Yes,I know he’s right. But that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.
Being part incubus means sometimes my biological needs supersede everything. And right now, my incubus side won’t shut up about how magnificent Ryker and that golden-dipped cock of his would be in bed.
