posture, her contained, graceful movements, and her sweet feminine scent. All of which added up to a huge ache that she wasn’t in his arms right now and that he couldn’t demonstrate to her how very, very much he wanted her.
When Eilidh opened the door of 7C, Rhion wasn’t sure what Cadfael did, but in the blink of an eye Hawthorne was inside, the door shut, and Willow was pressed against the wall with both men in front of her.
“May we kiss you good night, Willow?”
“We? As in both of you?”
“Yes.”
“I— I don’t know. I—Oh, all right.”
That sounded like a yes to him. Rhion stood aside as Cadfael pulled her into his arms and kissed her very thoroughly. When they separated, Willow’s eyes had a glazed look and she touched her index finger to her bottom lip. “Wow.”
Rhion gave her a moment to breathe, then wrapped an arm around her waist, letting her feel his hugely engorged dick. But instead of possessing her lips, he trailed his mouth over her eyebrows and kissed the tip of her nose. He sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth, then twirled his tongue inside the pink shell, hoping she found it arousing. Her body shivered against his. He hoped it was in a sexy way. Certainly she wasn’t trying to pull away from him at all.
Next he licked along her jaw before placing a row of tiny kisses there, and only then did he take her mouth. She opened immediately for him, and he tasted her. What he wanted to do was fuck her mouth deep and hard to show her how he’d like to take her cunt. Instead he kept his touch gentle, exploratory, promising a whole lot more but not overwhelming her.
Reluctantly he pulled away from her and Cadfael knocked on the door again. Eilidh opened it as Willow stared at them both. “Good night,” she whispered and slipped inside.
Eilidh shut the door again.
“I think that was positive,” said Cadfael leading the way to the stairwell.
Rhion would have preferred to take the elevator, but he followed Cadfael up the stairs. They had things to talk about and research to do. Having a couple of women in the pack who could understand genetics truly was a blessing from the gods. He’d felt all along the women were a gift from the gods. But now he knew they were.

“Here at Hanson Mall, no one can force you to do anything you don’t want to do,” Eilidh said to her as soon as she was inside the apartment.
Willow looked around but Hawthorne wasn’t there. She couldn’t hear the sound of water running, so guessed her sister was already in their bedroom.
“Nothing happened that I didn’t want. But it’s very soon. Still, a kiss is perfectly acceptable on a first date.”
“Indeed it is. As long as whatever happens is what you want, there’s no problem. But if the men ask more of you than you want to give, just let me know.”
“Thank you, Ay-lee.” Willow deliberately pronounced the nurse’s name the way she’d learned to say it. This woman was fast becoming her best friend. Willow gave her a hug, then went into her room.
Hawthorne was sitting on her bed watching the door. “Are they good kissers? And did they kiss you one at a time or both together?”
Willow giggled. It was almost like being in high school again. “Yes they’re very good kissers. Cadfael kissed me first and then Rhion.”
“Which one was better?”
Willow sat on her bed and stared at Hawthorne. “You know, I never thought of them like that. They were quite different. I like them both.”
“That’s going to make it much harder to choose between them.”
“We won’t be here long enough for it to matter. As soon as we’ve worked out our next few steps it’ll be time to leave and make a new life for ourselves as Ann and Jane Jones.”
Her heart sank at the thought. She really liked these people. It would be much better if they could stay here, and make their new home here. Oh, well it was all too soon anyway. They had a heap of problems to resolve first. Primarily
