Steal the Day (Thieves 2)

by Lexi Blake

  Daniel grabbed the bottle, studying it. “I disagree. You got a twelve-year, right?”

  “Yes, I got pubescent Scotch, just like you ordered. I’m sure it’s just as confused about its sexuality as the rest of us are going to be after this,” Dev replied, loosening his tie. “Where are we going to do this?”

  “The big bed,” I said. Dev and Daniel looked at me like I was insane. “It’s the only one that will fit all three of us.”

  It could fit an army regiment. I figured it would work for us. It shouldn’t take too long, but we would all be comfy on the big bed.

  Dev laid his tie aside. “We don’t need to bring a bed into this.”

  “I don’t want you to fall on the floor. When I feed Danny, I tend to sit in his lap so he can hold me when I would normally fall to the floor because my muscles stop working. I don’t think you’ll fit on his lap.” Though I was amused at the picture in my brain.

  Dev stopped drinking long enough to snort. “My muscles won’t stop working.”

  “I’m not pulling him in, Z,” Daniel said, sounding shocked that I thought he would.

  I was so glad I was here because they obviously needed someone to keep them on the right path. “Oh, yes you are. It hurts otherwise. It really fucking hurts, Danny. You will pull him in. He’s not into pain.”

  Dev was a baby when it came to pain. He complained bitterly when he got so much as a stubbed toe.

  “He can’t pull me in.” Dev laid his suit jacket over a chair, and his hands went to work on the buttons of his shirt. “It doesn’t work on me, sweetheart. Do you really think I’ve never been bitten before? I told you, Zoey, I’ve slept with just about everything with breasts on this plane.”

  Daniel looked surprised and slightly scared. It made me very curious about what a female vampire was like. “Dude, there are exactly two female vampires in the entire world, and you’re telling me you slept with one of them?”

  “I did indeed and I’ll be honest, I don’t get it. It hurt, and the sex wasn’t that great. You vamps are supposed to be sex on a stick, but it was highly forgettable with the exception of how fucking much it hurt. I know Zoey tells you it’s good, but she’s faking it.”

  Daniel’s eyebrows shot up in one of those deeply offended masculine looks. I grinned at him to let him know Dev was crazy, but I wasn’t going to defend his reputation. He could manage that all on his own. “Faking it? We’ll see about that. Let’s get this over with. Zoey’s right. We should go to the big bed. I don’t want to have to catch you when you fall.”

  Dev shrugged out of his shirt as he entered the largest of the bedrooms. “Fine, but you’re going to be disappointed. It doesn’t work on me.”

  “We’ll see about that.” Daniel pulled his T-shirt over his head, and I was surrounded by really lovely chests. Dev was taller than Daniel, and his body was all lean muscle. Daniel was more solidly built, with big biceps and strong shoulders. I kind of sighed as I looked at the two of them. They were so different, but each so hot in their own way.

  It made me wonder what it would be like to be in between those hard bodies. I wasn’t a tiny, thin thing, but Danny and Dev made me feel petite. Ever since Dev and Danny made their little bargain, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if our fake ménage was true.

  Dev started toward the big bed. “You, too, Zoey. If we’re bare-chested you should be, too. I don’t want you to ruin that blouse. It’s Mark Jacobs, from the spring collection. I can’t replace it. The color complements your eyes.”

  “It’s only fair.” Daniel watched me, his eyes narrowing. He could tell I was getting very interested in the proceedings in more than an amused way. Daniel’s senses didn’t lie. He could hear my heartbeat, and it was anything but steady.

  I unbuttoned my shirt. There was a practical reason for bare skin. Skin is a hell of a lot easier to get blood off of than fabric. I tried to get the dirty thoughts out of my head but, god, it was hard. Hard. My mind just kept going there.

  “And the bra.” Dev held out his hand. “I need a distraction.”

  “Seriously?” Being half naked was not going to make this easier. I looked back to Danny. He would probably be deeply uncomfortable.

  He was standing back, his eyes on me.

  “It’s nothing he hasn’t seen before,” Dev said reasonably. “If you want me to do this, give me something to distract me from the fact that your husband is about to sink his fangs into me.”

  “Danny?”

  Finally his lips turned up. “He’s right. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ll take what I can. And we could both use a distraction. Give up the bra.”

  I unclasped my bra and tossed it to Dev. Cool air hit my skin, making my nipples pucker. The fact that their eyes were focused on me didn’t help it at all. Daniel’s fangs came out. Dev sighed. It was enough to make a girl feel confident.

  I realized beyond a shadow of a doubt why the boys wanted me here. Dev might not understand it, but Daniel knew this process was deeply sexual. If I was there, the boys could concentrate on what they loved—female flesh. It would make everything easier—until the feeding was over and we all had to go back to our lonely rooms because Dev had put in the no-sex rule. I was probably going to eat an enormous amount of ice cream in an attempt to forget how much I wanted sex.

  And I was definitely going to fantasize about what could have happened.

  In the end, I knew Dev was right. I couldn’t hurt Danny that way. I didn’t want to. I wanted something else entirely, but I wasn’t going to get it. I had to be satisfied that my men were willing to not kill each other. Just getting them in the same room, working together, was a miracle.

  An awkward moment passed and then another. Silence hung in the air and I wasn’t sure any of us was ready for what we were about to do. Working with Daniel was one thing, but this was intimate and suddenly I realized just how serious our situation was. We were going into something dangerous. We might not get out. Like it or not, the men in this room had to rely on each other. We were all we had.

  Daniel cleared his throat and kicked off his shoes. I couldn’t help but notice he’d left his boots and sneakers behind. He was wearing shiny Italian loafers, the leather rich and expensive looking. He hadn’t bought those himself. Dev’s influence was already showing up in Daniel’s clothes. “We should get this done. I don’t want to take up too much time.”

  Dev nodded, looking back toward me. He slipped out of his loafers, too, and climbed on that decadent-looking bed. He held his hand out to help me up. “Come on, Zoey. This will be easier if you’re here.”

  Daniel gave me a tight smile that let me know he agreed and I followed Dev. The curtains were drawn though it was full dark. The room was huge, but now it felt intimate and close. The whole world felt like it had narrowed down to the three of us.

  Dev’s big hands immediately went around my waist, cupping my hips. The rest of the room was chilled, but his hands were hot and restless on my skin. “Hold on to me, Zoey.”

  I put my hands on his chest, his anxiety an almost palpable thing. He really thought this was going to be unpleasant. His heart beat against my hand and his breath was unsteady. I smoothed a hand across his skin, trying to calm him. “It’s going to be okay.”

  One of Daniel’s hands came around Dev’s body to rest on my back, pulling all three of us together. Daniel was at Dev’s back, trapping him in between our bodies. “I promise it’s not going to hurt. Just relax, man.”

  An unsteady laugh rumbled from Dev’s chest. “It occurs to me that this could be a good way to get rid of me.”

  Danny’s eyes rolled. “If I haven’t killed you by now, I’m probably not going to. I’ll make it short but sweet. And you have to promise to respect me in the morning.”

  It was my turn to laugh because if Daniel was joking, then everything really would be all right.

  A grin quirked up Dev’s lips, and he relaxed a little. “I promise nothing. I hope the Scotch works. It tasted
like shit to me.”

  Daniel’s free hand found Dev’s hair, sinking in. A soft pulse of his persuasion started to slide over me. “Well, you finished the whole bottle in record time. I’m looking forward to a little buzz. Maybe we can stay in, all three of us, and watch some movies or something.”

  “Sure.” Dev gasped a little as Danny ran his nose along his throat.

  He was using his senses to find that perfect vein he loved to pull from, but it was having an effect on Dev I didn’t think he’d planned on. He bit his bottom lip, his eyes sliding closed, and became very still. I couldn’t tell if he was forcing himself not to run away or if he was scared he might lean into Daniel, offering him more.

  Yeah, that got my motor running.

  Daniel’s eyes found mine, and I sent him a smile. It wasn’t a happy little thing. It was a seductive look, and Danny’s fangs seemed to lengthen. The hand he’d placed on my skin seemed to tighten as though in invitation. Or command. I didn’t really care. I was getting drugged by the closeness of them, by the picture they were making across my suddenly lust-addled brain.

  I couldn’t help it. The fact that the two men I loved more than anything both had their hands on me aroused the hell out of me.

  “Let yourself go, Dev.” Daniel’s voice was deep, his irises starting to bleed blue. “This won’t hurt. You want this.”

  “What the hell is that?” Dev asked. I could feel the magic starting to work on him. The evidence was suddenly poking me in the belly. His erection popped up, straining at the fly of his slacks, and his heart was thumping against my palm for a different reason now.

  “Heaven, baby,” I replied because there was nothing Dev loved more than pleasure and this was exquisite.

  Looking up at Dev’s confused face, I found myself filled with more than simple lust. It was the only time in my relationship with Dev where I had more experience. He was the innocent one now, and I got to lead him through an encounter that would blow his mind. I didn’t know what was wrong with his previous vampire, but there was nothing painful about Daniel when he was on his game. I knew my Dev. He was going to enjoy this and more than likely feel absolutely no shame afterward.

  Daniel growled a little, the vampire inside him taking over. I caught a flash of gleaming white fangs when Daniel struck. Dev’s whole body tensed as Daniel drew hard against Dev’s neck. The whole while, Daniel’s eyes were up, focused on me, drawing me into their intimacy.

  “Fuck, that’s amazing.” Dev tried so hard not to moan, but it came out of his chest, a low, sexy sound. His hands finally found my breasts, fingers tugging in time to the beat of Daniel’s mouth. He pinched at my nipples before cupping my breasts and groaning again.

  I let my hands run up the sides of his torso, glorying in the muscles I skimmed over. My hips seemed to move of their own accord. They nestled against his erection and I could feel it lengthening further, getting ready to go off and ruin those expensive slacks of his.

  Daniel stared at me while his throat worked. I brought a hand to touch his sandy blond hair, holding him to Dev’s throat.

  “Oh, god. That feels so fucking good.” Dev rubbed his erection against me. “Zoey, sweetheart, you know how my magic goes a little crazy sometimes?”

  His magic went wild at times, which was precisely why he almost never used it. “Yes. Just hold on, Dev. He’s almost done.”

  “Too late. It’s already here. It feels so fucking good. Yes.” His head rolled back, touching Daniel’s, fitting against him. “This is going to be wild.”

  The room was filled with Daniel’s will, but suddenly there was something else. It was much stronger, and it crowded out that soft passion of Danny’s. It pulsed from Dev’s body, and it was lust. There was no other way to describe it. It was lust and need and love all rolled into one pulse that screamed across my skin, making my every nerve ending roar with wanting.

  Every cell in my body seemed to come alive. Blood pounding. Heart racing. Pure grade A lust.

  Daniel released Dev and, sure enough, my faery promptly fell over, a ridiculously happy smile on his face.

  Daniel’s chest worked, trying to get enough oxygen into his body. He’d already forgotten Dev. His eyes were focused on me, and I was pretty sure I might not need that ice cream. Desire pulsed through the room. His fangs were still out, his eyes a glorious blue, and his cock was pressed hard to the front of his slacks. “I hate to fucking admit this, but he tasted really good. Almost as good as you, but nothing, nothing compares, baby.”

  It was wrong. It had to be. I was in the same room with Dev, but I couldn’t take my eyes off Danny. I wanted him so much it was an ache in my body. The idea of having to walk away didn’t even make sense, but I couldn’t make love with Danny while Dev watched.

  Could I?

  “God, can you feel that?” Dev pushed himself up, looking from me to Daniel and back again, his green eyes darker than I had ever seen them. “Can you feel it?”

  I could. It was Daniel’s need, and it rolled off his body, a wave of desire that crashed against me.

  “Tell me no, Z,” Daniel commanded because he never merely took what he wanted. His hands twitched, but he didn’t move toward me. “Tell me no, and I think I can leave.”

  “Don’t tell him no, Zoey.” Dev hopped off the bed and then got behind me, his chest pressed to my back. His hands wound around, finding my hard nipples and playing with them, rolling them between his thumbs and fingers. I could feel the insistent twitch of his cock against my backside. I couldn’t help rubbing back against it. He whispered into my ear. “I can feel how much he needs you. It’s like a drug in my system. This could be so fucking good. Don’t deny him. Don’t deny us. Just stop thinking and feel, Zoey. You too, Dan. This can be good if you two just let it.”

  All I had to do was move the slightest bit toward my husband, and he was on me. He pulled me to him, slamming our bodies together. His mouth came down on my mine, overwhelming me with his dominance.

  This wasn’t a soft tease. It was a full-on assault and I let him in.

  He kissed me, our tongues playing around his fangs while his hands found my ass and pulled me up against his straining cock. He rubbed himself against my belly, letting me feel everything he was offering me. I shoved my hands between us to unbutton his jeans and ease the zipper down. Need filled my world. I needed to touch him, needed him inside me. It had been so long since I felt him moving over me, connecting us and making us one.

  He rewarded me with a groan as he fell into my hand. Big and thick, his dick filled my palm and I could barely close my fingers around it.

  “Fuck, yes, Z. Touch me. Stroke me.” His hands wound in my hair, dragging me close so he could kiss me again.

  While our tongues tangled, I stroked along his cock, from the plum-shaped head all the way to the base. He was big and hard in my hand, and I loved the soft feel of the skin that covered all that steel. He was already coated with cream, and it made my hand glide easily back and forth.

  Dev moved on the bed, putting a hand on me.

  Daniel growled his way.

  “Don’t you fucking pull that shit with me, Dan.” Dev didn’t move an inch, didn’t back down despite the fact that Daniel was fully in beast mode. He didn’t take his hands off me. “I’m sharing with you, not the other way around.”

  Just for a moment I thought Daniel would attack, but then his hips moved, thrusting up into my hand, and I knew we’d moved past the violence point. He finally put his lips on mine again, devouring me with luscious kisses.

  A million erotic images skimmed the surface of my mind. I wanted to taste him, to take that hard cock in my mouth and swallow him whole. I wanted Daniel in my pussy, my mouth, anywhere I could take him. I wanted to be his.

  And Dev. Oh, I wanted everything that half fertility god could give me. I wanted to kneel in utter submission before him and let him have his way, pounding into me from behind.

  But most of all, I wanted to be between them.

  I wan
ted to never have to choose.

  “Time for this to come off, sweetheart,” Dev was saying behind me as he slid my skirt over my hips, his fingers taking the opportunity to glide across my core, causing me to cry out. His fingers made soft circles over my clitoris, enough to make me shake, but not to push me over the edge. And I was close, so close.

  Daniel pulled back, taking the moment to get out of his jeans and boxers. He stood back, his cock hard against his belly. “Fuck, she’s gorgeous.”

  Dev cupped my breasts, holding them up like an offering to Daniel. “She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

  “I should kill you for touching her.” But Daniel’s words were soft, non-threatening. His hand stroked his cock, running the full length over and over again. I couldn’t get my eyes off the sight even as Dev’s fingers tugged on my nipples.

  “You like watching,” Dev said, his voice as sultry as the air around us. Dev’s magic was thick, catching us all in its spell.

  “Get rid of those panties.” Daniel didn’t bother to give Dev a yes or no answer, but his actions spoke plainly. “Spread her legs. Show me her pussy.”

  “I can do that.” Dev’s tongue traced the shell of my ear before he dispensed with the rest of my clothes, eager to do Daniel’s bidding. All the while, lust thickened in the air, filling my lungs and brain until I couldn’t think of anything but them.

  When I was naked, Dev eased me back into his arms, his back against the headboard. He hooked his ankles around mine and spread my legs, showing off my pussy for Daniel’s view. When he’d had the chance to undress, I had no idea, but I pressed myself against his heat, loving the way he felt against me.

  The magic heightened the effect, and I didn’t even try to fight it. I could have left the room. It wasn’t the kind of magic that robbed you of your will. It was like a long, slow intoxication. I could walk away, but I was with two men I loved and trusted. I wasn’t about to walk away.

  “She’s wet, Dan. But you know that because you can smell her. Fuck, I can smell her and I don’t have your senses.” His fingers slid through the petals of my pussy, showing my husband how aroused I was. I tried to wiggle, to get him to fuck me with his fingers, but he held me tight.
