I scan the faces of my three friends. "I've got a few things to line up, but we're going to lure him here, extinguish the problem like we did for Drew, and then clean up our mess."
They all nod in understanding.
“I won’t lie. I never thought we’d all become murderers.” Lee smirks.
“I’d prefer if we call it protecting our own versus murder. If you think about it, we're actually doing the world a favor by getting rid of people.”
“We can call ourselves the exterminators.” Aries laughs.
“Yes, I like it.” Lee chimes in.
“No. We’re not making this a full-time thing,” Drew interjects.
“Yeah, I don’t think murderer is anything you can write down on a job application, and you guys are going to be graduating soon. Let’s keep the blood and mayhem to a minimum.”
Ely nods in agreement with Bel’s suggestion.
“We’re definitely not making this a full-time gig.”
“Boo!” Lee teases, and I shake my head at him. “You’re only saying that because you aren’t the one who got his face pummeled.”
“Touche, but I will make certain justice is served.”
“You better.” Lee winks at me.
“We can devise a more solid plan in the next few days. I'll use the secure email server Lee set up for us to speak discreetly. In the meantime, I think we should all hang low, keep our distance, and when it’s time to attack we do so together, as a family.”
“Family?” Aries snorts. “I don’t even like you guys.”
“Shut the fuck up.” Drew rolls his eyes, but there's a hint of a smile on his lips. He’s grown so much since he decided to man up and do better by Bel. “Don’t lie, you love us.”
“I guess, maybe a little bit,” Aries counters.
“So who is going to make me something to eat? I’m hungry as fuck.” Lee slides off the counter and onto his feet. He looks at each of us with hope in his eyes.
I shake my head, “You are going to make your own food. I was feasting on a fine meal before you all rudely interrupted me.”
Bel makes a gagging sound. “No one needed to know that.”
“Speak for yourself, Bel. I’d love to hear all about it.” Lee saunters forward with a grin. “And if you’re up to share, I’d be happy to join in your feasting…”
I shake my head and damn near growl at him, “Don’t even think about it Lee. Touch one hair on my wife’s head, and I will make the one side of your face match the other.”
“Be nice,” Ely coos. “He’s only teasing you.”
If only she knew how twisted Lee was.
“Yeah I’m only teasing, Seb.” Lee winks again. “Now who the fuck wants to go to the diner with me?”
“I could eat.” Aries chimes in, shoving off the wall.
Drew shakes his head, “Bel and I have plans, but thanks for asking.”
“Lame, but whatever. It’s just Aries and me, like always.”
“Stop whining and leave,” I order, my patience slipping away.
They all file out the back door, and I close and lock it behind them. Then I turn my attention back to Ely. "Now, where were we?"
Once I’m closer, she reaches for me and slides one of her hands into my shorts, cupping my cock. I go from semi hard to stiff as hell with one touch.
"Mmmmm…. about here I think?"
When she pulls her hand away I lean in to kiss her but she scoots off the other side of the stool and stands. "So..."
I pause, and she bolts, racing for the kitchen door to the foyer.
My veins fill with adrenaline but for a different reason. "Oh Little Prey, you're playing with fire."
"Am I? I thought you liked chasing me?” She mocks, her voice carrying, and after I pinpoint the direction it came from, I sprint after her.
“I don’t like chasing you. I fucking love it,” I announce and turn in the direction of the stairs.
“Then prove it,” she says back, and I follow the sound up the stairs and down the hallway. All the doors are closed except one of the guest room doors. I poke my head inside searching the darkness and feel the air behind me stir. She bolts towards the stairs, sliding on the hardwood.
I race after her but not too fast. I don't want her to trip. When she runs toward the study, I follow and catch her around the hips in the doorway, drawing her against my chest. "Looks like I caught you. Are you my prize?”
She spins around to face me, her arms circling my neck and pulling me closer. Against my lips she whispers. "Make love to me. Give me something good, Sebastian. Please."
I don’t need to be told twice. I walk her backwards into the study, our lips fused together, our kisses fueled with unbridled need. We paw at one another’s clothes, needing to remove every layer separating us.
