“You tasted her here before,” he said, his fingers gliding down my abdomen to the hem of my panties. “I want to try that—I want to learn how to make her feel as good as when you did it.”
“Hmm.” Ruse branded my breast with another scorching kiss. “I’m sure that could be arranged, if our mortal has no objections.”
I let out a laugh that turned into a gasp when Snap grazed his fingertips over my clit through the thin fabric. With just that light touch, my entire sex woke up with a pulse of pleasure. “No objections whatsoever,” I managed to say. “Instruct away.”
As he pulled my panties down, Ruse trailed his lips across my belly and over my hip. Each point of contact lit a giddy glow beneath my skin, just as he’d promised.
Snap bent by my thighs and pressed a tentative kiss just below my belly button. He inhaled deeply, and my nerves tingled at the way he appeared to revel in my scent.
“The word of the day is still ‘explore’,” Ruse said in that chocolatey voice of his. “Sample every bit of the terrain to see where she reacts most enthusiastically. Soft or forceful; lips, tongue, teeth, and fingers—make use of every tool at your disposal in every way. But carefully until you’re sure you’re onto something. Even the strongest of women have some rather delicate pieces down there.” He waggled his eyebrows at me.
Snap’s head dipped lower. He slicked his tongue over my clit, the forked tip encircling it for an instant, and an even giddier heat rushed through my core. A whimper shuddered out of me.
As he suckled me harder, I returned my hand to his head, tangling my fingers in his hair and expressing my pleasure with both the pant of my breath and the tug of his curls. The latter became more important when Ruse eased up beside me and reclaimed my mouth.
Within moments, I really was blazing everywhere. Between my legs, Snap coaxed more and more pleasure with each increasingly confident swipe of his tongue and nibble of his teeth. He delved one finger right inside me, his other hand stroking my hip down to the sensitive back of my knee. As bliss spiraled up from my sex, Ruse’s mouth on mine and his skillful fondling of my breasts drew out even more to join it. My body practically vibrated with the heady waves.
I jerked at Ruse’s shirt to get at the sculpted muscle underneath. He nipped my earlobe before stripping it off. As he leaned over me again, Snap’s long finger hit just the right spot inside me, in perfect concert with his lips on my clit.
“That’s it,” I said, unable to stop my hips from arching up. “Right there. Oh…”
And then I couldn’t speak at all with the flood of bliss that rose up over me, surging higher so swiftly it stole my breath. With one more swipe of his tongue, it crashed in a burst of ecstasy that knocked all thought from my head. My hand clenched in Snap’s hair.
As I lay there, momentarily jellified, he peered up at me. A hopeful smile curled his glistening lips. “That was a good one?”
A laugh tumbled out of me. “They’re all good ones, but that one definitely makes at least the top five.” A different sort of hunger gripped me, gratitude and desire mingling. “Get up here. You should find out how good being ‘tasted’ can make you feel.”
Snap scooted up the bed, and I sat up, yanking at his Henley shirt. He let me tug it off him, but when I reached for his pants, he blinked, and the rest of his clothes vanished in the same trick he’d used in the cabin. Even if there was no syrup to be had here, my mouth watered at the sight of his long, lean frame on display, cock jutting eagerly from his slimly muscled hips.
Ruse chuckled. “I guess this is where I take my leave.”
I grasped his wrist before he could get off the bed and caught his eyes. “I want you too. If you’re up for it, I mean.”
His hazel eyes glimmered with a hint of their unearthly shadowkind glow. “Always,” he said softly. “How do you want me?”
An eager shiver shot through me at the thought of the possibilities. “Inside me. I’ll leave the rest up to you. I know I’m in good hands.” I grinned at him and turned back to Snap.
I kissed the devourer on the mouth first, taking my time to revel in the passionate intentness with which he returned the gesture. As I made my way down his trimly toned chest, pecking more kisses against his smooth skin, Ruse knelt behind me. The incubus ran his hands down my back, over my sides, and up my torso to cup my breasts. His squeeze of my nipples left me growling for more.
When I circled the head of Snap’s erection with my tongue, the devourer’s chest hitched. “Oh, that is—That is very good.”
“It gets even better,” I assured him, and took his cock right into my mouth.
The tender skin there held the same fresh, sweet taste as the rest of him with its darker mossy undertone. Delicious. I pressed my tongue to the veins on the underside and swiveled it around. Snap groaned. Then I was groaning too, as Ruse tested my slit with his fingers and slid his own cock inside me in one practiced thrust.
We moved together in an erratic rhythm that slowly came together: Snap’s hips jerking up and his hand squeezing my shoulder, my head bobbing over his cock while I sucked him farther down, my body rocking as Ruse plunged deeper into me. Every eagerly desperate sound that escaped the devourer’s mouth, every ecstatic stutter of the incubus’s breath as he drove us both toward release, sparked my own bliss even hotter than the delectable friction inside me could generate on its own. The whole room seemed to have lit up with our pleasure. Well, maybe the profusion of sparkles had something to do with that too.
When Ruse sped up his thrusts, his fingers slipping around my hip to stroke my clit, it wasn’t just sparkles but twinkling stars that formed behind my eyes. I moaned around Snap’s cock, sucking harder.
We all careened into release together. Snap’s head tipped back into the pillow as his salty cum flooded my mouth. I swallowed and gasped with my second orgasm pealing through me. Ruse bent over me with a satisfied sigh and a few last lazy pumps of his hips to extend the bliss a little longer.
I slumped next to Snap, and Ruse sank down at my other side. The devourer looped an arm across my waist, the incubus rested his hand on my thigh, and for a few minutes as we lay there in the afterglow, we felt perfectly connected. Like a single being, no push or pull of competition. I didn’t figure it would last, but I’d enjoy it while I had it.
Snap was just shifting closer to kiss my temple when my ringtone carried from my purse. I grimaced but waved at Ruse for him to retrieve it from the floor. No one much called me, so if someone was bothering, it might be important.
The number on the display was Huyen’s. Maybe the Fund’s leaders had come to a change of heart? But when I squirmed onto my back and raised the phone to my ear, it was the voice of one of the other members that spilled out.
“Sorsha? I don’t know what the hell you’ve gotten into now, but I thought you should know—Ellen was attacked this evening.”

Thorn
As soon as we arrived in view of the tall, white hospital building, my combat instincts shot a twinge through me. I materialized on the vehicle’s sofa by the driver’s seat and thumped the back of that seat. “Keep driving past. Someone’s watching. We don’t want them realizing there’s anything odd about this vehicle.”
