Some Kind of Monster
Page 26
Calix scrubs his hand over the top of her white-blonde hair. “A little late now.” He chuckles as she bats his hand away. “You shouldn’t be eating anyway. It’s almost time for bed.”
I slide Nyx’s Nutella sandwich with the crusts cut off in front of her, and she pounces on it as if she hasn’t eaten in days. Her appetite is all Calix and Gunnar.
Calix leans against the counter and gives me a grin that usually means he’s up to something. Either that or he’s about to extort me for sexual favors since I got caught giving Nyx a sugar-loaded snack. I’m not even sorry, especially with the way his eyes are warming to molten gold.
Calix drops a kiss onto the top of Nyx’s head and tells her, “Finish up your snack, and I’ll put a movie on for you two. You’ll never fall asleep after eating that.”
She peers up at him with smears of chocolate on her cheeks and big eyes. “Addam’s Family,” she bargains.
“Sure.” He sighs as if he’s doing her a favor. She’s watched the movie a hundred times, but I’m sure it feels more real to her than Disney princess movies do. The girls finish up quickly, and Calix helps Nyx down from the stool.
“I’ll be back for you in a minute,” he warns me, looking over his shoulder.
“Promises, promises,” I singsong. The moment Calix disappears with Nyx and Cece, so does Uncle, fading into the darkened hallway as if he travels in the shadows.
Calix is only gone for about five minutes before I feel him come up behind me. He molds his front to my back and cages me in against the counter. “I can’t believe you got away so fast.” I turn so I can see him. I let my eyes travel over his features. He looks exactly the same as the first time I saw him—light hair, long and a little wild, with hazel eyes that shift in the light to a beautiful amber. He’s devilishly handsome and all mine.
“I have my ways,” he damn near purrs, but he makes it sound much more appealing.
“Who did you bribe to watch them?” I run my finger over his chest, enjoying the way his pupils dilate.
“There was no bribing.” He lowers his head and nuzzles his nose against mine. “Someone volunteered,” he whispers across my lips.
I grin, I’m not surprised. We have a system that’s worked really well for us over the past few years. Carving out alone time with each of them hasn’t been as challenging as I once thought it would be. I tip my head back, and Calix’s lips hover over mine. I feel the heat of his breath as he grabs my ass and jerks me forward so I can feel just how excited he is about our stolen moment together.
“What is it with you and kitchens?”
He starts slowly kissing me, but I feel the smile tugging at his lips. “Maybe I do have a food kink after all,” he concedes, and seals his lips to mine. Calix kisses me as if he still savors my taste, his hands coming up to cup my cheeks. I lean my breasts against his chest, eager for the warmth of his touch and the heat that comes along with it.
I trail my hands down his body until I encounter the waist of his jeans. I make quick work of the button and zipper before sliding my hand inside and wrapping my fingers around him. Calix lets out a soft grunt and dives deeper into my mouth, his grip shifting until his hand is fisted at the nape of my neck. Within seconds, he’s breathing heavily and grinding into my hand. He abruptly pulls back and rests his forehead against mine, and pants, “As much as I’m enjoying this, we have other plans this evening.”
“We do?” I can’t keep the disbelief from my voice as I lean back to get a good look at his face. Calix hasn’t shut me down for sex since we first got together, and he wanted to make sure I understood how much was at stake. That’s no longer in question—I want everything from him and more.
“We do.” Grim’s voice fills my ears. I turn, surprised to find him leaning against the doorway with Gunnar by his side.
I plant my hands on my hips and look between the three of them. “Why do I feel like you are all up to something?”
“You know you love everything we get up to,” Gunnar teases. I smile, because he’s so fucking right.
“Well, don’t keep me waiting.” I roll my wrist to urge them on.
“How does a few nights away sound?” Grim tilts his head to the side, and I can already see little flames dancing in his eyes.
“Away from where? Home? What about Nyxie?”
Calix adjusts his pants so his dick isn’t about to fall out, but he doesn’t bother buttoning them. “Nyx will stay here with Torin. Aeson and Samson already promised to stop by, plus we will only be a blink away.”
I bite my bottom lip. I haven’t been away from Nyx for longer than a few hours, but looking at all three of my guys and knowing the debauchery we could get up to—not that we don’t already—the decision is an easy one to make. “I’m in!” I know I don’t have to worry about Nyx, her extended family loves her just as much as we do. Plus, like Calix said, I’m only seconds away no matter how far we are. “What do I need to pack?”
Gunnar’s smile grows until the scar marring his lip is barely visible. “Absolutely nothing.”
I toss my head back and laugh. “Sounds like my kind of party.”
