Page 66 of His Eternal Temptation

“Please, Lane. Please. You’re so good to me.”

Lane groaned and took him deeper. Rowan was too close, soaring too high. He came, tugging Lane’s hair, Lane’s grip near bruising on his hips.

What a beginning this was. Lane was more than Rowan ever asked for. Now all he had to do was find a way to keep him forever.

EIGHTEEN

ROWAN

Even after their clothes were righted and the flushes had faded from their cheeks, Rowan couldn’t let Lane go. He pulled him close, perching Lane on his lap, a hand resting firmly on his hip.

“So…” Lane’s grin tilted mischievously, one arm slung over Rowan’s shoulders. “What about your parties?”

“What do you mean?” Rowan’s head swam, punch drunk.

“I’m yours, and you’re mine, but what about your wild vampire orgies?”

Rowan laughed, a full-bellied bark like he hadn’t let out in an age. “I’d like to bring you to my wild vampire orgies. We don’t have to play with anyone else while we’re there.”

“We’d just watch?”

“We can do whatever we want. Watch others. Put on our own show. Retreat to one of the private spaces. Not go at all.”

Lane tapped Rowan’s sternum. “Hey, don’t deny me the chance to see you in your element.”

“I’m not. I’m making it clear that we don’t have to partake in any group activities. I’m all yours.”

“Mine,” Lane agreed, tapping his finger once more with finality.

Rowan couldn’t seem to stop grinning.

“I’m glad you’re not assuming I’m interested in taking part,” Lane said. “But you already know I’m into group activities.”

“I do?”

“I was at one of your parties ten years ago, wasn’t I?”

“To make sure I was above board.”

“And once I confirmed you were, my immediate response was to get in on the action.” Lane became serious. “I’m glad you turned me down. It would have been a disaster if we’d fucked, given everything. I never sought out other group scenes afterward, but it’s something I’d like to explore with you.”

“I’d love that.” Rowan swelled with something like pride knowing Lane trusted him with this. “Do you know what you’d like to explore?”

“Not entirely. I’ll have to see when we’re there. The idea of fucking you with people watching is hot, but who knows, I could lose my nerve.”

“There’s nothing wrong with changing your mind. We can see what feels right. I’ve never had a partner like you, so we’ll both be in new territory.”

A polite knock sounded.

Lane’s attention snapped to the door, and all the lightness within Rowan snuffed out as he crashed back to reality. There was a serious mess to wade through before orgy logistics became a priority.

Rowan helped Lane off his lap and checked his clothes were in order.

Lane did the same. “Do you want me to stay or give you space?”

“Stay.” There was no hesitation. “You’re my partner in everything.”

“Fuck yeah, I am,” Lane murmured, pulling one last smile from Rowan.
