    Xade didn’t hold back. His hands gripped my thighs firmly, dragging me closer to the edge of the bed until I was at the mercy of his mouth again.

    But this time was different.

    He didn’t go straight for it like Dristan. No, Xade took his time teasing, tormenting and worshipping me.

    He pressed hot, open-mouthed kisses to the inside of my thighs, nipping and sucking gently, leaving marks that would bloom into hickeyster.

    Then, just when I thought he’d finally go for my clit again, he leaned back and tapped my hip.

    "Up," he said, voice low and full of sin.

    I blinked down at him, dazed. "What?"

    "I want you on my face, princess."

    My core throbbed. "What—Xade—"

    "I want you to ride my mouth," he growled, his tone filled with need. "You’ve been so good... now let me taste you properly. Take what you want."

    My body moved before my brain could catch up. Hey back on the bed, hands behind his head like a smug devil waiting to be devoured—and I straddled him, trembling as I hovered over his mouth.

    The second I lowered myself, his tongueshed out, and I shattered.

    A raw, broken moan tore from my throat as he sucked my clit between his lips and flicked his tongue over it in slow, devastating strokes.

    His hands gripped my ass, encouraging me to move, grind, and ride him, an act I had never done in all of my existence but found myself doing and loving it.

    I rocked against his mouth, gasping and shuddering as pleasure rolled through me in messy waves.

    Xade groaned beneath me, and the sound sent vibrations straight through my core.

    "Fuck, Xade, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to..." My thighs shook.

    "You can," he encouraged, pulling back for a breath, then diving back in harder. "You will."

    My head dropped back, eyes rolling shut as another orgasm mmed into me, hotter, wetter, and messier than before.

    I cried out, clenching around nothing as he licked up every drop, leaving me utterly wrecked.

    Eventually, my legs gave out, and I copsed beside him on the bed, panting like I’d run miles.

    Xade chuckled, his face wearing a satisfied look. "Told you. Morning protein."

    I swatted at him weakly. "You’re such a perv."

    "You love it," he whispered, pressing a kiss to my bare shoulder.

    Truthfully, I did.

    As sleep began to pull me under again, I heard him get up. My heavy lids fluttered open just in time to see his bare back and tousled silver hair as he tugged his sweatpants on and walked toward the door.

    Before slipping out, he nced back at me and winked. "Sweet dreams, princess."

    And then he was gone. Or... I think he was because when my eyes opened again, he was nowhere to be found, but I wasn’t sure I had heard the sound of the door closing.

    ***************

    The ssroom was way too bright and too loud.

    I blinked against the harsh light of the projector screen as a teacher’s voice droned on from somewhere in the front of the room.

    I tried to focus. I really did. But my head kept nodding forward, my chin nearly hitting my chest each time.

    Gods. I was so tired.

    My body still hummed with the phantom feel of Xade’s mouth on me. My thighs ached, my clit throbbed with ghost touches, and my brain was foggy from orgasm overload and not nearly enough sleep.

    Once more, I had arrivedte to school, and even worse, when I saw Xade, there was no indication that anything had urred between us the night before.

    I knew that because when I saw Dristan that morning, he winked at me and had that look of pure desire in his eyes. But Xade...?

    He was no different from the others.

    I shifted in my seat, squeezing my legs together discreetly, but it didn’t help.

    And worse... I wasn’t even wearing a bra under this stupid hoodie. My nipples ached with every brush of fabric.

    Why the hell had I let him do that, knowing ss was only a few hours away?

    Why had I let either of them?

    "Valerie Nightshade."

    My head jerked up at the sound of my name, eyes snapping wide. The teacher, a sharp-looking vampire professor named Eira Voss, stared down at me with a knowing smirk.

    "Nice of you to join us. Care to answer the question?"

    Shit.

    This wasn’t like the field trip. I had absolutely no clue what she’d asked. I swallowed and sat up straighter. "Uh... could you repeat it?"

    The ss chuckled softly.

    Professor Eira tilted her head. "Let’s hope your mind catches up soon, Miss Nightshade. This academy won’t wait for you to wake up."

    I flushed, cheeks burning as I nodded.

    As the lesson continued, I slumped slightly, burying my face into my arms, trying to hide the smirk that tugged at my lips.

    Moon Goddess, help me.

    Next time... I will be locking that damn door.

    ***********

    Next time, however, I was cornered, and this time by the Lycan twin princes.

    It was during the lunch break when everyone sat down to either eat their meal in the cafeteria or go somewhere else.

    Dristan had promised me that helping me cum would cure my heat, but no. There was no cure for this... this... pheromone issue I was having.

    It was like having my heat spark a thousand times. I was no good to anyone in this state.

    "Um..."

    "Valerie, stop running. We need to make final ns on our physics project, and we need to meet now."

    I halted when Ace’smanding voice made me freeze.

    I turned slowly, trying to hide the flush crawling up my neck.

    They were both standing there—strongAce/strong and strongAsh/strong. Dressed in tight ck shirts instead of their uniform, both exuded the kind of dominant energy that made the air feel hotter.

    Ace’s eyes were sharp and piercing, while Ash looked... hungry.

    Ace had that same no-nonsense look he always wore when he was serious about something—but this time, it was mixed with something darker, hungrier.

    "Except you’re suddenly not feeling well.

    "I’m fine," I said, already backing up, but Ash was suddenly behind me. Trapping me.

    My breath caught. My back hit his chest, and I instantly felt his heat, his hand pressing lightly on my hip to keep me still.

    "No, you’re not," Ash murmured against my ear, his voice all velvet and heat.

    My legs went weak.

    "We all felt what happenedst night," Ace enunciated, stepping closer. "You really thought you could get off like that and not have the rest of us suffer?"

    I swallowed. "It’s not my fault. Besides, you shouldn’t. We aren’t marked yet."

    Ace’s jaw flexed. "It never is, and that’s another issue. Why haven’t we marked you?"

    I wanted to answer, but Ace beat me to it.

    "Nevertheless, now you’re going to pay the price for turning us on like fucking animals."

    "Ace," I warned as my pulse skyrocketed.

    He reached out and ran his knuckles down my cheek, so softly I shivered. "You’ve been edging us for days, Val. shing those eyes. Giving in to one of us while the rest of us burned. You don’t even know what you’re doing to us."

    Ash’s hand on my hip tightened. "But you’re going to learn."
