“The only thing that’s going to be funny to listen to is the sound of your stifled moans while I lick the droplets of sweat off your skin.”
My eyes widen, and Blaine actually gasps.
“Got a problem?” Caleb raises his brow at Blaine right as we pass through the gates.
“You sure are confident you’ll ever get a chance, considering Ares nearly ended my life yesterday just for kissing her.”
“You kissed her?” Caleb growls, his grip on my waist growing stronger with every passing second.
“Yes,” Blaine says, narrowing his eyes. “It was delicate. Sweet. Delectable.”
Now I can’t control the blush anymore.
“And if you must know …. she actually enjoyed kissing me.”
Caleb stops halfway across the path to the door and releases me, then grabs Blaine’s shirt. “What the fuck do you want to say with that, huh? You insinuating something?”
Oh God.
“She kissed me back,” Blaine says with a smug smile.
Caleb raises a fist, but Blaine’s stern gaze makes him pause midair.
“Hit me then, darling. Try if you dare. I’ll cut off those fingers you used to fuck her with before you even get a chance,” he hisses.
Well shit, I didn’t ever think I’d find overly possessive men sexy, but here we are.
“Guys,” I mutter. “Don’t fight over me. Please.”
It’s not like I have a choice in the matter. They’ve collectively decided to make me their plaything, and I’m just along for the ride.
Caleb slowly lowers his fist. “Fine. But only because she asked me to leave your pretty fucking face whole.”
“Mm-hmm.” Blaine snorts. “Glad you finally recognize I’m prettier than you.”
“Oh fuck off, Blaine,” Caleb says, flipping him off. “Don’t forget what Ares told you.”
“What?” Blaine muses. “The same thing he told you?” He raises a brow, making Caleb fume even more.
A guard at the front of the door stops us in our tracks. “No weapons allowed inside. I will need to do a check.”
Grumbling to myself, I pull my only knife out of my boot and hand it to him.
“Wow … you brought that here, darling?” Blaine muses. “I’m impressed.”
“I don’t leave the sorority without it,” I tell him.
The guard holds out a box, and I place it inside. “This is special to me. If it isn’t here when I get back, someone will pay,” I warn him.
He swallows uncomfortably.
“Hold up your arms.”
The guy pats me for any leftover weapons, but that was the only one I brought.
“You’re good,” he says. “Next.”
“I didn’t bring any weapons, darling,” Blaine muses. “Except the one in my pants if you want to cop a feel.”
The guard groans, annoyed. “Blaine. Turn around.” The guy frisks him too. “You’re good.”
“I know, darling, no need to tell me.”
Caleb rolls his eyes as he gets inspected too. “Can’t you just shut up for a second? Please?”
“Beg some more,” Blaine retorts. “I might be incentivized to try.”
Caleb’s nostrils flare, and he looks away.
“You’re good too,” the guard says. “No entry for any of you without a mask, though.”
He holds out a new box filled with masks.
It’s the same kind of demonic-looking golden masks that Ares and Caleb wore when they chased me through the maze, and the sight of them makes goose bumps scatter on my skin.
“Put this on,” the guy at the front door says.
He holds out a version without the demonic features. Instead, it’s a completely glossy golden mask.
“For the women,” Caleb whispers into my ear as he grabs a demonic one.
When he puts it on, my heart rate jumps.
He looks just like I remember, and when he throws me a glance, I can feel my clit thump like it responds to the memory of his dominance alone.
Blaine steals my mask and lifts it over my head, putting it on. “There you go. Perfect.” He grabs my shoulders. “Ready?”
I shake my head. “Will I ever be?”
He snorts. “No one ever is. But once they’re in, they never want to leave either.”
“C’mon,” Caleb says, leading the way. “The party awaits.”
The hall in this house still overwhelms me, but the majority of the party seems to be taking place in the big common room to the left because that’s where all the music comes from.
“Oh, Blaine, I’m so happy you’re back.” A guy wearing nothing but a fishnet and leather pants along with an actual collar and chain around his neck approaches and kisses him on the cheek. “Just a couple minutes and I already miss you.”
He releases my arm to hug the guy. “Here for the rest of the night, don’t worry.”
A girl approaches and kisses him on the other cheek. “Are you up for some fun again?”
“Fun?” I mutter.
Caleb snorts. “You don’t want to know, trust me.”
Blaine rubs his lips. “Not tonight, sorry.”
“Aw …” The woman blows him a kiss. “Another time, then.”
Caleb clears his throat. “Anyway, I’m gonna go grab some booze. Wanna come?”
I shake my head, but I’m too occupied by the music in the other room, luring me in.
