“There are a lot of different kinds of anal stimulation…” My lips peeled back in a snarl at Grey’s words, making clear that I was her dog and I would defend Nadia against anything she didn’t like without explanation. “But let’s take that off the table until you say otherwise. From what you’ve said, you’re open to penetrative sex?”

“Um…” Another look my way, then Nadia continued. “Yeah, if everyone’s down for that.”

“Count me the fuck in,” Ethan hissed.

“Not me.” She blinked at Grey’s reply. “That’s part of the reason why I wanted to have this conversation. I am more than happy to attempt to bring you pleasure, but that has to be a one way thing.”

“Oh, because you’re…” What the hell was going through Nadia’s head? I wondered. There was no opportunity to ask. “Got it. No touching. No kissing?”

Grey’s wolf pushed forward, his eyes turning as silver as the moon as he stared.

“That…” he ground out. “That is permitted.”

“So what are your limits?” Nadia looked at me, then Ethan.

“No limits,” I growled, willing her to see it. There was nothing she could say right now that I wouldn’t work freaking hard to achieve.

“I look forward to you trying to find mine,” Ethan replied. “But if there’s anything I’m not enjoying, I’ll let you know.”

“Breast play?” Grey was like a drowning man, paddling harder, faster, in denial of the fact that another wave would push him under.

“Yes.” Nadia was growing more confident in her replies, and I fucking loved hearing it. “Though it needs to be fairly firm.” She gestured awkwardly at her bust. “Otherwise I barely feel it, though pinchy?” A sharp shake of her head. “What I like is somewhere in between.”

“We’ll find it,” I said with a confidence I shouldn’t feel.

“What about⁠—?”

“For fuck’s sake, Grey.” Ethan glared at him, but when his focus shifted to Nadia, something softened. “Nadia, what do you want to happen today? The answer can be nothing, but trust me when I say you have everyone’s complete attention. What was supposed to happen if you made it to Good Vibes this time?”

“I…” She gripped my hand like it was a lifeline and that had a warmth spreading through my chest. I had to strain to hear her words over the frantic beat of my heart. “We planned to make me the centre of attention for once, to put my pleasure first.” The way she looked at the three of us, it was like she throwing down the gauntlet, but she didn’t know if we’d pick it up. “That’s what I want.”

“So we talk out a scenario, like you did with Brendan.” Grey talked fast, as if he knew that he was losing his audience. “Work out something that works for you and⁠—”

“Or we could go back to our place right now and do exactly that,” I said.

Her eyes stared into mine and for just a second, I saw the wolf push through. A flash of silver, there and gone again, leaving just a vulnerable woman behind.

“Please,” she said. “That. I want that.”

Whatever Grey or anyone had to say was drowned out by the need to surge to my feet. Beers left undrunk, I took her hand and helped her out of the booth. Placing my arm around her waist felt so fucking right, but she jumped, then settled against me. One day she’d tell me what had her so skittish, but not right now.

Nadia wanted a man who was so fucking hungry for her, he’d beg for more. Well, Lady Fate was smiling down on her. There was nothing more I wanted than to drop down to my knees, part her thighs, right before I went back for another taste.

“Keys,” I said.

“What…?”

By her glazed look, Nadia was starting to sink down into her omega state.

“You’re in no state to drive and you don’t know where we live.” I plucked her keys from her limp grip. “So I’ll get you where you need to go.”

Suppressing the need to carry her out of the pub in my arms, I instead found her car and then opened her door for her. The man could be a gentleman, but the wolf? He looked over at her once we got behind the wheel, taking in every inch of her.

“Ready?”

Her quick nod and the bloom of her scent filling the car was all the incentive I needed to push the keys into the ignition and start heading for our place.
