Neo

S he had to know. Right?

She had to know I loved her.

I’d heard her say the words to Athens and I knew I wanted to say them to her.

I was slightly concerned, though. I didn’t want to push her.

I didn’t want her to feel pressured to say it back.

I felt like those words weren’t good enough for how I felt about her.

I think I might have been slightly obsessed with our little queen.

My arms tightened around her as she yawned.

We were taking an afternoon nap. Well, she was and I had told her I would as well just to ease her concern about being “lazy.” We all had agreed she needed sleep, even if she wouldn’t admit it.

Honestly, if she hadn’t demanded training with Taylor this morning no one would have woken her up.

To be fair, she had no idea how early he had planned on waking her up.

I had no idea how long it would be until Mario was at our door, so I figured she should get rest now rather than later when it might be too late.

The wind brushed into our room through the open windows as Rhodes shifted from where he sat on the couch, his legs crossed and eyes on a book.

Adyen, Athens, and Taylor had stayed at training but I’d needed a break.

I was still worked up over the fucking assholes my father had managed to surround himself with.

A meow sounded as Lunatic padded across the room with a flick of the tail.

I had no idea how kittens were supposed to act but she seemed oddly aware for a cat.

I needed to look into this more, I felt like I was missing something.

Her gold eyes focused on me as she jumped on the bed and snuggled between Gray and me. Lord. I was actually enjoying this.

Then again, this was probably the most affection I’d experienced in my entire life.

I smiled because the stunning woman laying next to me had changed my life in so many ways.

Her dark hair spread across her pillow. The silver crescent scar shimmered like diamonds on her skin.

Those thick-lashed eyes fluttered as she murmured something.

I didn’t even try to stop myself from letting my eyes trail along her body covered in a comfortable overshirt.

I muttered a curse because there was nothing more I would rather do than sink right into her tight warmth again.

The woman was undeniably and unintentionally sexy.

“What are you thinking about?” A soft voice whispered as I looked down at Gray. Her deep red lips were soft and plump, making my cock harden.

I tipped her chin up. “I think you can guess.”

"Paint me a visual, Neo. Maybe I can make it come true.”

I groaned and her eyes flickered over to Rhodes. Not that I cared about him being there while intimate but maybe she did. The bastard looked over, a curious arch over his eyes. “Kitten, no one is stopping you from enjoying yourself.”

Bastard.

My lips pulled into a grin as challenge entered Gray’s eyes. “I don’t want to disrupt your reading, Rhodes. I am being nice. I know you won’t be able to resist yourself, even from all the way over there.”

Gray.

I nearly chuckled because nothing drives Rhodes more insane than challenging his control.

His eyes solidified. “Don’t you worry. I will be perfectly fine.”

Gray bit her plump lip and I saw a dangerous glint enter her eye. I loved that she was becoming more confident in her sexuality. She lifted Lunatic from in between us and snuggled closer to me, her lips against my ear. The cat huffed and trotted through the closet towards our other rooms.

“What about you, Neo? Do you wanna play with me?”

Did I fucking ever.

Without any concern regarding Rhodes really, I pulled her on top of me with ease. I hadn’t had a chance to enjoy her body fully since the last time had been in the haze of fury. Now, though? Well now the only thing blocking me was that damn oversized shirt.

“I’m always available to you,” I whispered, wrapping her hair around my hand so she was forced to arch into me, her eyes dilating.

Yeah, sweetheart, I wasn’t really planning on just playing.

“Oh?” Her voice was breathy and I drew her close, my mouth meeting hers.

I nearly groaned at the taste of her lips against mine.

The woman had the power to make my body harden painfully with just a soft kiss.

She rolled her hips. I grunted against her lips as I felt her nipples harden against my bare chest. My other hand dropped from her hip to her silky smooth legs and dragged up.

“Nothing on underneath?” I purred gently as she let out a whimper at my tight hair hold, “That’s dangerous, Gray. ”

“Why?” She whimpered as curiosity and need flashed in her eyes.

Was it wrong that I loved how innocent and yet fucking seductive she was? It was an intoxicating mix. I began to kiss down her neck and nibbled on the skin there as I flipped her overshirt over her perfect ass, exposing her to the open air. Rhodes muttered a curse.

I nearly laughed at that but then I groaned as my hand skimmed her tight wetness. She trembled against me as I pet her gently knowing she was probably still sore from Athens. Then again, she was so fucking wet, I couldn’t imagine it would hurt all that much.

“Neo,” she moaned as I teased her entrance but didn’t let my finger slip in yet.

I wanted to drag this out until she felt like she was going to cum from just a kiss.

That was how worked up she got me. So it was fair.

My finger trailed up her slit to where her clit lay.

I gently teased it. She whimpered against my lips with urgent need.

I loved watching her get all desperate like this.

I knew I could fix it but it would feel even better if I drew it out.

“Come on sweetheart,” I whispered, “you can handle a bit of teasing, can’t you?”

She was very responsive so this was probably killing her.

Yet, she nodded and I took her lips before slipping a finger inside of her tightness as a reward.

Her moan made Rhodes curse. Somehow, that fueled me as well.

It was fun punishing the man who thought he had control over everything and everyone in his life.

The truth? Gray was the only one in control and he knew it damn well.

I let out a groan as she began to rock back and forth against my cock as my finger fucked her slowly without relief.

Her nails bit into my shoulders as she gasped and her body began to shake.

I pulled my finger out and she cried out in frustration.

With an easy movement, I pinned her underneath me and let my magic seep out.

Now that we had more time, I wanted to truly play with her.

“Neo!” She gasped as my shadowy magic grasped her wrists and drew them above her. I smirked at her as I slowly kissed down her body, giving her a chance to pull back or say no. Instead, she arched her body towards me.

Good girl.

Her overshirt was easily removed with a slight tear down the center.

Then her entire body was exposed to me. I could have gone to fucking heaven.

She was so fucking beautiful. My teeth bit down on her flesh playfully as her noises made it all that much better.

When I pulled her nipple into my mouth, I heard Rhodes stand up and I knew the fucker was probably removing himself to an even further place in the room.

Gray didn’t even realize how much pain she was causing him.

“Please!” Her body wiggled as her legs fell apart and I let my tongue trail down her body until I was settled between her legs.

My girl began to shift as if that would somehow make me start tasting her sooner than I planned.

What she didn’t realize was that I fucking loved every single moment of build up. I wasn't just into punishing others.

I met her heated, glassy eyes before I began devouring her with a lazy, yet deep pace. She cried out as I sucked her clit. I could feel her struggling to move her hands. I tightened the hold and lifted her closer to my face as my hands cupped her perfect fucking ass.

Her taste was the sweetest fucking shit I’d ever had. The slower I went, the wetter she got. I could have spent most of my life down there. Honestly, I’d be perfectly fucking content with my head buried between her legs forever.

“Damn it,” Rhodes muttered as her eyes popped open. I looked up and knew he wasn’t going to last much longer, his eyes completely focused on her bound arms and trembling, flushed body.

I wasn’t even into controlling her but teasing was fun and I knew that position would drive Rhodes fucking crazy. Her little mewling noises had our controlled leader running a hand through his hair in a frustrated motion.

“Rhodes,” she moaned. His control started to shatter.

I smiled as she arched up to meet his lips. After a brief kiss, I pulled her away with ease as Rhodes growled. My arm wrapped around her center as my magic tucked her arms behind her and between us. Rhodes's eyes flashed gold and I found myself wanting to break him.

Was that fucked up? Probably. Oh, well.

“Rhodes she needs you,” I spoke quietly while nibbling her neck. “I’m not going to give it to her.”

She let out a frustrated noise as I let a hand crawl between her legs and I gently strummed her clit. Then, I pulled away. She faced Rhodes on her knees, fully displayed, as I played with her in a slow torturous pattern. I knew he wanted her and I could see his animal taking over moment by moment.

“Please!” She gasped, while a shiver of need raced through her.

Rhodes let out a pained sound and my lips curled. I knew he was worried she wasn’t ready to make that bond but let me assure you, she was ready. There was a sixth sense buried inside of me that was encouraging me to bring our group together.

“Fuck,” he grunted and unbuttoned his shirt.
