My gaze drifted to the bodies in the sand. More Clovers dead. If Warner was right about how tense things were getting in the cities, more death would happen. Were the Clovers large enough to be a threat against PARA? And even if they were, what good would it do when Amaros Kane was still planning something?
Chapter 24
Zan
Istared through the darkness, listening to Kali’s heartbeat as she slept. It was racing a bit faster than usual, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was dreaming. Keeping my arms behind my head, I glanced over at her, noticing her lips were pressed tightly together. She definitely wasn’t sleeping as peacefully as she had been a while ago.
The sun had gone down over an hour ago, which meant Impulse was in full swing right now. Kali had promised Gia she’d go down and help her tonight, but I wasn’t about to wake her up. She could go down there later.
I let out a sigh, my mind wandering back to a few days ago when all that shit had gone down at the beach. It took me two days to fully heal after being shot so many damn times. I shouldn’t have fucking let Warner go. Viggo nearly bit my head off when I told him—and he was right. Warner was a threat to us. Not one large enough to be anything other than a nuisance, but a problem all the same. If it were anyone else, no one would have left the beach alive. But he was Kali’s best friend. She cared for him. And she would have never forgiven me if I killed him.
I could have entranced him again. Yet I hadn’t. Because I’d seen the pain on Kali’s face. She didn’t want her best friend to hate her. Which was why I hadn’t. That was another problem. She hadn’t even asked me to let him keep his memories. I’d done it because I knew that was what she wanted. This woman could probably walk me to my death, and I’d follow without question. I was so fucked when it came to her.
A small moan had my attention dropping to her mouth. I watched curiously as she shifted in her sleep. A nightmare? The next sound that came from her mouth was almost a whimper, and it instantly made my cock harden. Whatever she was dreaming about wasn’t scaring her. Her hand moved under the blanket, and I tracked her moves until she put it between her legs.
I bit my tongue, my entire body going still. Now I was burning with curiosity. I hoped to fucking everything she was dreaming about me. I wanted her as mine in every damn way. Even in her dreams.
Her chest heaved, and she let out another soft moan, making my control snap. I grabbed the blanket, tugging it off her. Her hand was between her thighs, her fingers brushing the shorts she always wore to bed.
Fucking hell.
My dick was rock hard now, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away if I wanted. She continued to lightly touch herself, her soft moans growing louder. Then her eyelids fluttered open, and she jerked when she woke herself up. I stayed completely still as her eyes darted around, trying to see in the dark. But it was pitch black in here. She wouldn’t even be able to see me when I was lying right beside her.
Silence smothered the room for over a minute, and I was guessing she was trying to figure out whether I was awake. My lips tipped up in a smug smile when she slipped her fingers under her shorts. She either thought I was sleeping or she just didn’t care.
Her breaths came out faster, her fingers upping their pace under her shorts as she chased her release. She seemed to get close, but then lost it. Her face scrunched in frustration as she kept touching herself. I watched until it was impossible to keep quiet anymore.
“Need some help, Kali?” I murmured huskily.
She froze, and I caught her wide eyes cutting toward the sound of my voice, her lips parting in surprise. She hurriedly yanked her hand out of her shorts, and I rolled on top of her, knowing my hard cock was pressing against her stomach.
“Zan,” she choked out, her voice a notch higher than normal.
“Tell me what you were dreaming about.”
Even in the darkness, I could see her face flush. I was right above her and could see her perfectly, but she was still blind.
“I think it’s obvious what I was dreaming about,” she said breathlessly.
“Who were you dreaming about?” I leaned down, nipping at her earlobe. “And no lying.”
“I don’t think your ego needs my answer.”
I grinned wickedly, brimming with satisfaction. “Tell me about it.”
“No.”
“Why not?” I lightly kissed her throat. “Let me make your dream come true.”
She blew out a laugh. “Very original.”
“Tell me how it began. Then I want to know what was so good that you started touching yourself in your sleep.”
I could see the conflict on her face. I was sure that everything that she’d learned from Amaros was running through her head. I would never push her into having sex—especially after she admitted she wouldn’t be able to enjoy it with the threat of pregnancy hanging over her head. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t pleasure her in other ways.
“Come on, Kali,” I coaxed softly. “Tell me your dream, and I’ll finish what you started.”
“Maybe you won’t like what I dreamed about.”
