“How much experience?” asks Parker. Typical of him to ask, he’s the best one for getting into my head.
“Enough experience that when I was being dragged here, I found out I’d already completed jobs for Featherstone.”
Parker's eyes go wide, and he looks to the others. Me and my big mouth. I need to learn to shut the hell up.
“Holy shit,” yells Oscar, gaining everyone’s attention.
“You’re Moon,” he splutters, shaking a finger in my direction.
“What did you just say?” I can’t help the defensive snarl, what the hell does he know?
“I remember during the summer, my father was on the phone discussing some documents he’d acquired. He specifically said, it’ll be better when we have moon fully integrated. Keep me up to date on her arrival at the Academy.”
His eyes taking me in with a new light. What does his father know about me?
“I think you need to leave,” I say flatly, heading towards the door.
“Hold up Luna, it’s okay. Calm down,” Roman says, jumping up to stop my march to the door.
“Believe me they have had every single student here do something without them knowing. My father says they call it the right of passage, so they can see what level you’re already at,” he adds, as he gently strokes my arm.
It’s clear I’m a deer caught in the headlights. I’m frozen to the spot. I don’t know how to handle that they know about my secret, and that it’s completely the norm for this place.
Roman turns me to face him, stepping closer into my space and cups my cheek.
“Luna it doesn’t matter what you did before here. It doesn’t matter what you have to do here. What matters is that we survive, understood?”
Searching his eyes, I see nothing but the truth to his words, and I find myself nodding in agreement. His phone starts ringing and I move to step back, but his hand moves to the back of my neck holding me in place.
“That’s my alarm, we need to start heading to Combat,” he says to everyone, but his eyes don’t leave mine.
“Now let us help take your stress away,” he murmurs, as he inches closer, touching his lips to mine. As demanding as ever he tightens his grip and devours my mouth, having me claw at his shirt in retaliation.
Just as quickly as it started he steps back, with a wicked gleam in his eye, and motions with his hand. In the next breath, Oscar has his hands on my waist and his lips against mine. Wow to say his mouth gets him into shit his actual lips have me melting. I can’t help but raise my hands to his face and graze his bottom lip with my teeth, and the moan he gives me hits straight to my core.
Fuck. As soon as it escapes his lips, Roman is pulling him away from me.
“Share Oscar,” he orders, and before I can see his response, Kai is in my space.
He raises his thumb, tracing my lips and it has me mesmerized. He searches my face ensuring I want this, and it’s definitely clear in my eyes because my body is screaming for him. For all of them. I grab him by the lapels of his blazer, lifting my lips to meet his. Kai’s kiss is tantalizingly slow, but I follow his lead, such a contrast to the other two.
He steps back and makes space for Parker, who rests his forehead against mine. He looks into my eyes, seeing my soul as always, it’s so willing for him to peer in. Our noses brush slightly as he gently moves where we are connected. His lips touch mine in the softest caress I have ever felt, but it wraps around my heart and squeezes. I have to hold on to him to keep myself upright. Damn, I could get lost in this.
As soon as the thought crosses my mind Parker is stepping back too, and I can’t help the pout at the loss of contact. The lust in all of their eyes lets me know I’m not the only one. Roman wraps his arm around my shoulder and moves us towards the door. Stopping to grab my bag he leans into whisper.
“Parker doesn’t like kissing, he finds it too personal. He’s different with you.” With that he steps back and leads everyone out.
Parker's hand finds mine and I can’t help but enjoy this. This is a completely different level of intimacy and it has me wanting more.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
(Luna)
Heading over to the academic buildings, I’m relaxing in the Rolls after our brutal session in Combat this morning. I’m ready for a nap already, Wednesdays are always the longest.
I enjoy riding with Kai though, loving our newfound foreplay, where he caresses my hand between us like I’m a delicate flower. What I’d really like to do is get on my knees but somehow this is more. I’ve hinted for him to caress me elsewhere but he just smirks.
Ian holds the door open for me to get out, and I’m surprised to find posters and flyers everywhere. The bright pink and yellow splashes of color dotting every surface, look like someone set off a giant confetti cannon.
Stepping towards a giant poster, I’m handed an invite, Ace scrawled in gold boldly at the top of the card. I continue to read, so I can see what the deal is.
