Seductive Wicked Royal (Blood and Diamonds Book 3)
Page 18
He’s shirtless, they both are. My hands glide down the smooth and hard planes of his chest as his tongue invades my mouth. He probes my mouth as if he can’t imagine anything better than the taste of me. When he finally pulls away, it leaves me dizzy.
“What do you want to talk about?”
Kai tickles along the edge of my panties, right where my hips meet my thigh. “Well, it isn’t so much about talking.”
Before I can ask the question tripping on the edge of my tongue, his fingers plunge inside of me, leaving no doubt about their intentions. My mouth opens in a soft cry, but Lukas silences it with another searching kiss. His hand moved down my chest to push under the cup of my bra, fingers teasing at a peaked nipple.
“Is this me making things up to you?” I ask with a gasp as Lukas head lowers to my chest, and he sucks one nipple into his mouth.
Kai’s dark head raises so that our eyes meet over the line of my body, Lukas’s head only partially obstructing my view. He smiles in a way that would make my knees knock if he wasn’t lying between them, forcing me open with his shoulders. “It’s a start.”
A dry laugh escapes me that’s immediately cut off when Kai lowers his mouth and sucks at my clit through the fabric of my panties. Lukas’s mouth shifts to the other breast while his hand teases at my nipple, pinching hard and then soothing the hurt with gentle strokes.
And I remember what I said to them when I was sick about twins being every woman’s fantasy.
My hips grind against Kai’s mouth as I beg him to rip off my underwear so I can feel the heat of his mouth directly on my flesh. Tension sings through my body, making me feel tight as a violin string that’s been pulled too taut. I’m not sure how much more of this torture I can take. “Please. Take them off. Rip them off, even. I don’t care.”
“You want me to rip the only pair of panties you have.” Kai’s laugh rumbles against my thighs. “You need to learn some patience.”
I don’t want to have patience, I want to cum. “Fuck off, I’ll buy more. Stop teasing me.”
“But I love teasing you.”
Lukas lifts his head to press heated kisses against my cheek. “You’re beautiful when you’re like this, all hot and bothered. We could keep you like this for hours.”
“Don’t you fucking dare.”
I wrap my arms around Lukas’s neck and pull him down to me, kissing him hard that blood rushes out of my head and downward to where Kai still teases at my clit with his tongue. I grind my hips up against Kai’s mouth as my tongue tangles with Lukas’s.
Cold air blows over my pussy as my panties are ripped off my body and tossed away. Kai’s tongue plunges inside of me and my hips arch the bed as pleasure spikes through me. His hands form a shelf under my ass as he forces more of me against him.
Even though this isn’t the first time we’ve been together, since I can’t remember what happened the last time, it feels like we’ve never done this before. But video evidence isn’t the same thing as an actual memory.
And this is so much more than anything I could have imagined.
But I can’t just be a passive recipient of the pleasure they’re giving me, no matter how much I’m enjoying it. I don’t have it in me to just be a pillow princess.
Lukas sucks in a hot breath as my hand slides down his stomach and under the loose waist of his drawstring pants. His flesh is so hot that it feels like I’ll burn from touching it, but that doesn’t stop me from gripping him hard and stroking the length of him.
“Fucking hell.”
His groan shoots my pleasure even higher, almost enough to make me orgasm on the spot. I shift on the bed and pull his pants down enough that his cock springs free. Taking him into my mouth isn’t an option, but something I need like I need to breathe. Kai’s mouth never leaves my clit as his fingers work in and out of my slick passage. He lifts one of my legs over his shoulder, making the pleasure spike higher.
The feel of Lukas in my mouth is soft as silk with a core as hard as steel. His hand tangles in my hair but he doesn’t try to force me deeper or control my movements, but his touch is there like a subtle pressure driving me forward.
I take him as deep as I can without choking, gratified by the harsh gasps he makes with each stroke. Then I pull back to tease him, licking the tip to catch the bead of precum, the taste of it exploding on my tongue. An eternity could pass like this and I wouldn’t ever tire of it.
But the twins have other plans. Kai’s mouth pulls away, leaving me momentarily bereft. In the next moment, I feel his hips shift against mine and then the head of his dick is pressed against my weeping opening that’s more than ready for him.
I don’t even have a chance to ask where he got a condom when Kai plunges into me and I’m no longer capable of thinking about anything at all. He pounds into me with all the force of his slim hips, and I feel myself cresting even with the first stroke.
Lukas grips my head hard enough that I feel the pressure of his fingers on my skull. Suddenly, my mouth isn’t moving on him, but instead he’s moving in and out of my mouth, fucking me in the same way his brother is. They match their rhythms to each other, shaking my entire body with the force of it. My breasts bounce on my chest, lifted by the cups of my bra that have been pulled down underneath them.
Kai grips my hips hard as he saws into me, shifting so he grinds against the secret spot inside me that curls my toes every time he thrusts forward. He feels so good inside me. So right. Like my whole life has been leading to a moment like this.
“Show us how much you want us.” Kai’s voice floats over me in the dark, barely audible over my loud gasps.
They use me like my body was created solely for the purpose of pleasing them. That thought is what finally sends me crashing into orgasm, the inner walls of my cunt clapping down hard on him for Kai to let out a surprised groan. Lukas pulls out of my mouth as I come, probably because he knows that I can no longer control my snapping teeth and my jaw opens wide on a scream.
Trails of fire light along my skin until it feels like I might burst into flame. I’m burning from the inside out and it’s enough fire to consume us all.
Kai comes right after me, his belly contracting and his hands gripping my hips hard enough to bruise as he finds his release. He slams into me once, then twice more, before collapsing into an exhausted heap against my chest.
He rolls off of me a moment with a choked laugh. “That was fucking amazing.”
I laugh. “I think I might have died at some point.”
Then Lukas looms over me with a dark grin on his face, his still hard cock sliding along my thigh. “Oh, we’re not done yet.”
When I finally stumble out in the main room, sexually showered and satisfied, Jayden is laying out to-go containers from a local diner full of things that smell delicious. I’m wrapped in a fluffy robe that I found in the closet and between the cozy comfort and delicious smells, I could almost forget what had brought us here in the first place.
A knowing smile crosses Jayden’s as he catches sight of me. “Slept late.”
“Something like that.” I blush works its way up my neck and stains my cheeks, making my skin hot. “We’re moving a little slowly this morning.”
“I’ll bet.” He rolls his eyes, but his expression is good-natured as he gestures for me to take a seat. “I hope you’re hungry, because I got a little bit of everything.”
I open the containers, one by one, surprised at the event of the spread. He brought every breakfast dish known to man, from blueberry pancakes to sausage biscuits with gravy.
“I come bearing more gifts.” He hefts up some shopping bags and tosses them onto the couch. “I got you some clothes. It’s simple stuff, and I got it a little big because I don’t know your size, but at least you won’t have to walk around in that robe all day. Not that I’m complaining.”
I take a huge bite of blueberry pancake and swallow, making a little hum of pleasure at the taste of it. It’s been way too long since I let myself
have breakfast sugar. “So you talked to the cops, got breakfast and went clothes shopping for me. How long were you gone?”
His eyebrow quirks. “Not long enough judging from the noises I heard coming from the bedroom when I walked back in.”
“Oh, Jesus.”
“Yeah, that’s about what it sounded like.”
“Are you hoping that I’ll die from embarrassment, if so you’re on the right track.”
“Don’t be embarrassed.” He spoons a bite of yogurt into his mouth, but a smile still plays at the corners of his lips. “It was pretty hot, actually.”
I’m saved from coming up with a response when the twins join us a few minutes later, looking sleepy-eyed and satisfied. Thankfully after Jayden has gotten his fill of teasing me as he tells them to help themselves. I’m not sure I could handle it from all three of them.
Lukas casually drops a kiss on the top of my head before sliding into the seat next to me. “Please tell me there’s coffee.”
“Carafe’s at the end of the table,” Jayden replies easily.
Kai grabs a container full of bacon and eggs. “So are we going to talk about this shit, or what?”
A shiver works down my spine and this time it’s not one of pleasure. “Talk about what?”
“Don’t give me that shit, you know exactly what I mean. The shit that has us hiding out in a hotel room because it’s not safe for you to go home.” The words are harsh, but Kai’s tone is gentle as he watches me from across the table. “Ignoring it won’t make this go away.”
I push the pancakes away, my appetite gone. “He killed my mother and then he tried to kill his grandfather. There isn’t anything else to talk about.”
“You really think he did it?”
It doesn’t even matter which one of them asked the question, I can tell from their faces that it’s sentiment they all share. I won’t pretend that my feelings aren’t confused, but all of this forensic evidence can’t possibly lie.
“Look, I know you guys were his closest friends and I…” I hesitate for the barest moment, unsure of how to put my thoughts into words. “I got closer to him than I thought I would. But that’s what everybody says about the murderer hiding in their midst, I never thought he was capable of this, but you can’t ignore the body count.”
Jayden just shakes his head. “Something about this doesn’t feel right. It’s too pat and easy. How could Asher have enough forethought to cut brake lines, but not enough to wear gloves so he didn’t leave any fingerprints? And how stupid can you be to get out of jail and attack another person the same day? Something about this just doesn’t add up.”
I find myself getting inexplicably angry. “If you believe so strongly in Asher’s innocence then feel free to contribute to Asher’s defense fund. But I don’t want to talk about this anymore—“
“Lily,” Lukas interrupts, voice tight. “Look.”
I follow his gaze to where my phone sits face-up on the table next to me. There’s a message on the lock screen from the Inner Circle app. I can’t read the message without going into the app, but I can see who it’s from.
The message is from Asher.
“Don’t do it, Lily,” Lukas says, reaching for the phone.
But I’ve already grabbed the phone and picked it up. Words fill the screen as soon as I open the app, black on white and so stark that there’s no mistaking any of it.
I planted the wack-ass cameras and made the tape of our butts in the high-rollers Lounge. Extra fun, lovely. And I’ve done all of it. XOXO! You and your fuzzy whore mother never should have come here and taken money that isn’t yours. Golddiggers should expect problems. Meet me at the house tonight, eight in the evening or I release that tape.
I don’t realize I’ve read the message aloud until I hear the guys curse.
“Obviously, you’re not going.” Kai’s voice is grim. “Let the whole world see that tape, for all I care. I’d rather you be alive and embarrassed, then dead.”
“Is he really this stupid?” Jayden asks, almost to himself. “He can’t possible think you’d be stupid enough to meet him.”
The message doesn’t even sound like something Asher would write, more evidence that he’s completely lost his mind.
A strange niggling sensation starts in the back of my skull, like an itch that I can’t reach. Using a napkin and a pen from the desk, I write down all the letters that look strange, even as I tell myself there can’t be anything to them.
W C B H X L A V X Z O O D C O R X V
“It’s just gibberish,” Lukas comments, as he looks over my shoulder.
Jayden peers across the table and his expression changes. “Or maybe it’s not. Let me see it.”
I pass the napkin and pen over to him and watch him furiously scribble something down. “What are you doing?”
“Applying the Z-cipher.” Jayden’s face changes and he sets the pen down with a shaky hand. He holds the napkin out to me with an expression that looks like he’s been punched in the gut. “Take a look.”

Don’t come. Call police.
Lukas reads the note over my shoulder before handing it to his brother. “What the hell does that mean?”
“Asher wrote a message threatening to release that sex tape if Lily doesn’t go to meet him and then he hid another message inside of it telling her not to come and to call the police.” Jayden’s voice is both confused and musing as he speaks. “I don’t know what the hell it means.”
But I don’t share his apparent confusion. “It means I’m going to see Asher tonight.”
Lukas’s head snaps up. “The hell you are.”
“It’s the only way I’m going to get any answers. I want them straight from the horse’s mouth. The only way to find out the truth is to ask Asher ourselves.”
Lukas’s hand snakes behind me and grips the back of my neck, not quite hard enough to hurt, but enough to prevent me from turning my head away. When he speaks, his voice is harsher than I’ve ever heard it. “We’ll tie you to the bed before we let you do that.”
“If you don’t help me now, then I’ll just find a way to sneak off and see him alone. Unless you want me charging off into a dangerous situation, all alone, then I suggest that you agree to come with me now. It’s four against one and Asher can’t take all of us.”
“I think we should do it,” Jayden says softly.
Lukas turns on him with an angry snarl. “You can’t be serious.”
But even Kai seems to be in agreement. “If we want the truth, then this is how we get it.”
My head shifts as Lukas pulls me toward him with a grip like iron. He kisses me hard enough that his teeth press hard against my lips, but pulls back before I even have a chance to respond. “If you get yourself killed, I will never forgive you.”
And if I get any of them hurt, I won’t forgive myself either.
Chapter 16
The drive back to Bellamy mansion is long and tense. Jayden is driving, but Lukas and Kai insist that I sit behind them in the backseat. Probably because they want to make sure I don’t jump out the minute we get to the house and race off without them.
I keep my hands shoved between my thighs to stop them from shaking. With each mile we get closer, my nerves kick higher until it feels like I won’t have the strength to go through with this by the time we arrive.
We have a plan, I tell myself over and over again. And if the police could help us, Asher never would have gotten out of jail in the first place.
And even though tensions are high, it’s impossible for me not to be aware of the fact that I’m wedged between Lukas and Kai, their thighs pressed tightly on either side of mine. Lukas’s hand rests possessively on my knee and Kai has his arm draped across the back of the seat, his hand teasing the skin of my shoulder.
The slouchy jeans and plain t-shirt that I’m wearing don’t do much for me, but they don’t seem to mind.
When I turn to look at Lukas’s face, passing headlights making his features shine, I wonder how I ever got through life without their support. He catches me looking at him and a brief smile touches his lips before he gently squeezes my thigh. That smile makes my heart skip a beat.
They’re willing to rush into potential danger. For me.
I can feel the connection between us like its something physical, a shining tether connecting us that refuses to be severed. When I lean my head to rest against Kai’s shoulder, he hugs me to him until I’m pressed against the solid plane of his chest.
When I look up, Jayden’s gaze is watching us in the rearview mirror before briefly flicking way to watch the road and then returning. That gaze is frankly assessing, and full of heat.
I love them. That feeling settles over me in a way that I’m not completely comfortable with. Love makes you vulnerable because it gives you something to lose.
But I’m deliberately not thinking about what it is we’re about to do. Whatever mystery that’s been hanging over my life since the moment Trish and I left the Bronx, will finally be solved. I’m not even concerned about whether Asher will threaten to kill me, try even, because that seems like a forgone conclusion at this point. No, I’m most worried about the fact that I still have feelings for the guy who killed my mother.
What the hell does that make me?
The outside of Bellamy mansion is nearly pitch-black. All the light that usually illuminate the long driveway and spotlight the front of the house have all been turned off. I know the staff had been instructed by the police to leave because it’s still an active crime scene, but they wouldn’t have shut off all the lights. A single line of police tape, yellow with Do Not Cross written on it in bold black. Other than that and the extinguished lights, there’s little evidence that anything here has changed.
But a shiver of ominous awareness moves up my spine.
