“You guys are awfully chummy. What are you up to?” I look between them suspiciously as I wait for a response.
“Nothing good.” Colten winks and laughs while Brian groans.
“Don’t listen to him. We just spent the last hour talking.” He sits down beside me and takes my hand in his.
“Uh huh,” I say, still suspicious. “And what did you two spend an hour talking about?”
Brian smiles radiantly at me. “The only thing we have in common, beautiful. You.”
I can’t help but smile at how happy he seems right now.
“What about me?” I look between them as Colten takes a seat on the other side of me, and my heart starts beating faster.
Shit. Having them both sitting with me on the bed is a dangerous idea.
Holy shit!
“What are you squealing about?” Bry asks, but Colten looks at us both.
“Again with that shit? You guys really need to figure that out. She didn’t say anything.”
I know this time that he’s right. Brian looks at me and I shake my head.
“We are working on it. I think now that she’s less stressed, we’ll be able to figure it out, but it will take time. It’s not a common ability to share, especially between an angel and succubus,” he sighs, but squeezes my hand.
“I can see what I can find if you want.” Colten shrugs like he didn’t just offer to do something nice.
“Who are you, and what have you done with Colten Connerton?” I ask him with a raised eyebrow, and he chuckles.
“Oh, I’m still me, baby. I can prove it anytime, anywhere.” He winks at me, and I moan.
“Maybe another time,” I say standing up. “Let’s go over to the sitting area and figure out what you guys were talking about, and then I will tell you what I want.” I nod and walk away briskly while their laughter follows me.
“Aww, Harleigh, do you not trust yourself on the bed with us?” Colten teases, and Brian laughs.
Nope, not happening. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Brian
I love when she blushes, and the fact that she’s more embarrassed than I’ve ever seen her makes me smile.
Colten and I did have a talk. He may not be my favourite person, but I figured he should know some things about our girl, like being new to our world and not knowing who or what her father was, etc.
I just hope she doesn’t give me shit for telling him.
“So, my little succubus,” Colten begins, and I shoot him a look. “I hear you’re new to this whole thing.”
Her head snaps up to look at us sitting on the couch. Yeah, she took the chair and made us sit together. She definitely doesn’t trust herself with us.
“Umm, yeah,” she says and looks at me, wondering what else I told him if I told him that.
“Don’t get mad, beautiful,” I soothe her. “I just figured I would tell him the basics. Besides, he is a demon. He may be able to help you figure out what some of your abilities are.”
She looks between him and I, and nods.
“Yep. Brand new.” She sighs and then looks at him. “You really think you can help me?” She seems excited by the idea.
I can’t imagine how it feels to not know what you’re capable of and being afraid of the wrong things.
“I sure can, babe.” He winks at her and I roll my eyes, but she’s excited. “But your angel boy over here wants to be there too. Make sure I’m not leading you astray.”
She laughs and looks at me, her eyes shining. “I think the three of us working together to figure me out is a great idea!”
She’s beaming with happiness and in this moment, I’m glad I didn’t deny her and Colten. She deserves to find out everything she can about herself, and I can feel the energy between them.
“Okay.” She takes a deep breath. “I want to be public with this.” She gestures between the three of us, and we both nod. I figured as much.
“Thank fuck, baby, cause not touching you and letting everyone know you’re mine, too, was driving me insane.” He gets up and walks over to her growling before lifting her up and carrying her to the couch to sit between us.
“Umm, there was a reason I was sitting over there, you know,” she says and looks at him pointedly, making me laugh.
“We know,” I say, kissing her neck softly. “But we like you close.”
“Definitely close,” Colten says, and grabs her chin pulling her mouth to his.
Fuck, seeing her get worked up over the both of us has me hard enough to cut stone. I would give her anything to hear those little sounds she makes.
“This…is so…not…fair,” she pants out between kisses, and we both chuckle before I grab her chin and bring her mouth to mine, my hand twisting in her hair while the other wraps around her curvy waist.
