The moment Mila stepped back, Gio bent over, put his shoulder into Carter’s belly, and stood back up. The world turned upside down as he went limp over Gio’s shoulder.

“Really?” Carter said wryly.

“Can you think of a faster way to get you to the bedroom?” Gio asked, turning and marching out of the kitchen. Mila followed right behind them. When Carter craned his neck up, he could see her trying hard not to laugh.

“You could have carried me a different way,” Carter grumbled.

“Sure,” Gio agreed. “But then I couldn’t do this.” He slapped a hand down hard on Carter’s ass. The sting of the blow only made Carter’s cock throb more.

“I could do the same to you!” he warned, making Mila give up her fight with her laughter.

“You guys are bad!” she exclaimed, climbing the stairs right behind him.

He was so much taller than Gio that it was easy to cup the vampire's ass. Gio didn’t even hesitate as Carter groped him. The vampire climbed the stairs as easily as if he wasn’t carrying Carter’s weight.

“I want to help,” Mila said with a giggle. She got close and added her hands next to Carter’s on Gio’s butt. “Oh, nice!”

“It’s even better naked!” Carter assured her.

“So is yours,” she said, then blushed beet red. Carter loved that.

“Your breasts blush too,” he murmured, eyeing her generous breasts swaying with each step.

She gasped and let go of Gio’s tight ass to pull her blouse together.

“Hey, no! Don’t do that,” Carter protested. “I was enjoying that view!”

She looked pleased at his words but didn’t let go of her blouse. Thankfully they were at the top of the stairs and soon in the bedroom.

Gio carefully set him down, letting go slowly so Carter had plenty of time to regain his equilibrium. Being carried upside down could be hard on anyone, even a shifter as powerful as Carter.

Carter wanted to rip Gio’s clothes off, but one little push had him tumbling into the bed behind him.

“That wasn’t nice,” Carter grumbled as he wiggled fully onto the bed.

Mila rushed up to him, putting a knee on the bed. “Are you okay? Maybe you should rest. Sex probably isn't a good idea yet.”

Carter supported his upper body on one elbow and covered her mouth with his other hand. “I will not allow you to speak such blasphemy in this sacred room. Passion cannot be denied here!”

Mila laughed behind his hand even as Gio rolled his eyes and stripped out of his clothes. “Only Carter could turn sex into worship. It’s such a wol—,uh, him thing to do.”

Carter raised an eyebrow at Gio almost saying wolf. The vampire ignored him and grabbed Mila. She let out a little shriek of surprise when Gio lifted her. He placed her further on the bed with her knees on either side of Carter’s hips.

“There,” Gio announced. “That’s much better. You should kiss Carter while I take care of all these annoying clothes we’re wearing.”

“Perfect plan!” Carter said, tugging a lock of her hair to guide her face to his. “I bet you taste like sugar.”

Chapter 15

Mila

Mila wasn’t a virgin when she left South Dakota. She might not have had many boyfriends, but she’d had a few fun times. Then there’d been Brad with his insistence that she admire his body during sex while he watched them in a mirror. No matter what position they were in, he made sure there was a mirror in front of him.

When she asked to get rid of the mirror, Brad said she was old-fashioned and didn’t understand human sexuality. He’d done a good job of shaming her when she couldn’t orgasm. Brad was gorgeous and experienced, of course it must be her fault.

It was nice to know Brad had been a dud, and there was nothing wrong with her. She simply hadn’t been turned on! Carter managed to soak her panties with a few licks to her cheek. Gio stole her breath with a kiss.

As she kissed Carter, supporting her weight with her hand and knees, Mila felt more sexy and turned on than every encounter she’d ever had put together.
