When John and Xhex finally reeed from their little slice of privacy, the first stop was the shower in the locker room And as food was mission-critical after all the exercise, they took turns with Xhex going first

As John waited his turn out in the hall, it was funny--he should have been exhausted Instead, he was energized, alive, coursing with power He hadn&039;t felt this strong ever

Xhex came out of the locker room "You&039;re up"

Man, she looked hot as hell, her short hair curling as it air-dried, her body clad in scrubs, her lips red Flashes of what they&039;d done together got hih the door just so he could keep his eyes on her

And what do you knohen she sentleness in her transfor north of lovely

She was his female Evermore

As the door eased shut between the panic when the latch clicked in place, like she wasn&039;t just blocked fro the paranoia, he showered quickly and pulled on scrubs, studiously ignoring how fast he went

She was still there when he cah he meant to take her hand and head for thewas, allto lose the ones they loved It was the way life worked But for most of the time, that reality was so far off in the ht than a mere hypothetical There were reminders, however, and the almost&039;s, the near-ot you to stop and feel as in your heart Like when a bad headache was just a on, but the baby seats and the air bags saved all the lives inside; or when someone who had been taken came back to the fold the aftermath shook you up and made you want to hold on to your person to steady yourself

God, he&039;d never thought about it properly before, but froot tolled and the clock started to run A bargain you weren&039;t even aware of havingall the cards As minutes and hours and days and months and years passed, history ritten as you ran out of time until your last heartbeat marked the end of the ride and the tie how mortality made moments like this with her infinite

And as he held Xhex against hi her warmth amplify his own, he was rejuvenated down to his marrow, his scale rebalanced, his sum total squarely in life-was-all-worth-it territory

His growling stomach hat parted them

"Come on," she said, "we need to feed your beast"

He nodded, clasped her hand, and started walking

"You have to teach e," Xhex said as they went into the office and opened the supply closet door "Like, now"

He nodded again as they filed into the tight space and Xhex shut theether Hmm another shot at privacy Closed door loose clothes

The rat bastard in hi behind the scrubs If she put her legs around his hips, they could fit just fine--

Xhex stepped in close, her hand going to the erection behind the thin cotton across his hips Rising onto her tiptoes, she brushed her lips against his neck, one fang scratching over his jugular

"We keep this up, we&039;re never going to find a bed" Her voice dropped even lower as she rubbed hio in me? Very deep Niiiice and very deep"

John fell back against a stack of yellow legal pads, knocking them off the shelf As he scrambled to catch the hiain

"Stay where you are," she said, going down on her knees "I like the view too , her eyes locked on his arousal--which naturally ainst what kept it hidden from her stare, her mouth, her sex

John&039;s hands cranked onto the lip of one of the shelves as he watched her watch hiot all the pads," she said after a while "Better put thes as she slowly rose up, her face caressing his knees, his thighs--

Xhex went right over his cock, her lips brushing the underside of the da, she continued the ascent so that her breasts were the next thing that hit him on that electric spot

She ended the torture by sliding the legals back in place while grinding her hips against his

In his ear, she whispered, "Let&039;s eat fast"

Fucking Too Right

She backed off of hiht where he was Because if the scrubs added even a hint of friction to this sexquation, he was going to come all over hi, at least not with her around, but on reconsideration, this was not really a private place At any et an eyeful nobody was going to be comfortable with

After a curse and so below the waist, John punched a code in and opened the way to the tunnel

"So what is the hand position for &039;A&039;?" she said as they stepped through and started walking

By the tih the hidden door under the rand staircase "I" took theot them to a pair of sandwiches--because their hands were busy with the roasted turkey and the mayo and the lettuce and bread, there wasn&039;t h the alphabet They didn&039;t do any better during the eating part of things, just "N" and "O" and "P," but he could tell she was practicing in her mind, her eyes focused on the middle distance between the her

She learned fast and that was not a surprise Cleanup led to "Q" through "V," and they were co out of the kitchen as he showed her "X" and "Y" and "Z"--

"Good, I was going to go find you" Z pulled up short in the archway of the dining roo to want to be there"

The Brother wheeled around, jogged across the mosaic apple tree on the foyer&039;s floor and headed up the grand staircase

"Your king usually do this in the middle of the day?" Xhex asked

John shook his head and both &039;s up

The pair of the the steps two at a time

Up on the second floor, the whole Brotherhood was cra was seated on his father&039;s throne behind the desk George was curled into a sit by his olden retriever&039;s boxy head with one hand while flipping a dagger-shaped letter opener in the air with the other

John stayed back, and not just because it was SRO, given the nue male bodies in the room He wanted to be near the door

Xhex&039;s mood had coed her eown to chain ht shifting back and forth fro much the sae unsheathed a grape Toostie Pop and V lit up a hand- rolled while he got Phury on speakerphone Rehv, Tohr, and Z were pacing and Butch was on his sofa, pulling a Hugh Hefner in his silk pajamas Qhuinn, meanwhile, was propped up near the pale blue drapes, and clearly fresh frorind: His lips were red and his hair had had a lot of fingers through it and his shirt was partially tucked in--hanging loose in front

Whicha hard-on

Where was Blay? John wondered And who the hell had Qhuinn just balled?

"So V got one fuck of a voice eneral mailbox" As Wrath spoke out, his wraparounds scanned the crowd, even though he was totally blind behind theoing to have him play it for you"

Vishous left the hand-rolled between his lips as he pulled trig on the phone and danced across the nu in mailbox numbers and passwords

And then John heard that voice That snarky-ass, cocksucking voice

"Bet you never expected to hear froriuess what? I&039;ht want to know that there was a ht Faret off your asses and head there as soon as night falls, youup all over the place FYI, wear your waders--it&039;s a mess Oh, and tell Xhex I can still taste her--"

V canned the speakerphone
