It’s Complicated

Aries

Before my lashes open, memories swirl in my mind as the bright sunlight washes into the darkness of my thoughts.

These memories, they feel unobtainable, just out of reach, like a dream I’ll never be able to grasp the details of.

Until his low, shaking laughter slashes right through the fog, and then too many sexy images of him caressing my body and wreaking delicious bliss all through me in a way that only he can or ever will.

Krave Salvation.

That fucking asshole.

While I curse him, images of his body grinding against mine slip into my thoughts, and to make it worse, Damien’s there. And I’m kissing him. Moaning against the flicking of his tongue, clinging to him while I thrust against Krave.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

You did this to yourself,Catherine snarks.

Oh, my God, go back to sleep.

It’s too early for her. This is her fault, anyway.

Really?she asks with so much attitude I roll my closed eyes at her.

When my hands touch the heated blush stinging my cheeks, I realize I’m covered with a soft, warm blanket from head to toe. It’s my own personal cocoon to hide within.

I don’t have to get up yet. I don’t have to face Krave or Damien. I can die of embarrassment all by myself for just a bit longer.

“Good morning, love,” Krave says in that obnoxious voice he thinks is so damn charming.

My eyes close harder.

I’m forced to die of embarrassment with a full audience.

The soft blanket fists into my palm, and I pull it down slowly to face the morning air and the bright, warm sunlight. And of course, his fucking taunting smile.

“Did you miss me, love?”

And you say I’m a cunt,Catherine whispers in the back of my mind. I can’t help but agree.

“What are you doing here, Krave?” I fold my arms down tightly against my nudity to keep the blanket and my integrity intact.

Well, what’s left of my integrity.

“What am I doing here? You called out for me, don’t you remember? Youneededme,” he says, his smile cruel.

I cock an eyebrow at the incubus, but the man seated at his side on the platform has a more demanding gaze. Zaviar’s attention is a piercing thing that slices right into me, searching for all the secrets inside.

“The only way to calm your demons is to fuck an incubus?” Zaviar asks with words as unkind as Krave’s but not nearly as amusing.

“What I do and who I fuck are none of your business.” My jaw clenches as I hold his glare.

“Exceptyou’llnever fuck me. Isn’t that right, Aries,” Krave says.

Every single time that explicit word echoes into the breeze, it presses more tension through my chest.

“You can leave now.” My chin tilts up, but my confidence doesn’t deter his arrogant smirk.
