She closed her arms over her breasts. “Can they see me like this?”
“No, but your body will be reacting. It has to, or Means will know I’ve conned him.”
She shook her head and backed away. “I won’t let you do this. I don’t care if the bastard kills me, but I won’t let you rape me in front of them all.”
“Then I won’t, but Billy will have you.” Vlahos turned his back.
Billy reached for her. “Dammit, Gillian. I don’t like this either.”
“Sure, you don’t,” she scoffed. “You both planned to tag team me from the start, didn’t you?”
The tightening of his jaw was all the answer she needed, and she spun on her heels and began to run.
But Billy was faster and took her to the ground, raising her arms above her head and pinning her with his heavy body. “Don’t fight, baby. Please, I know this is wrong, in so many ways, but don’t fight. I love you. I’ll do whatever I have to keep you safe.”
“Don’t you dare give me your goddamn cock,” she sobbed.
“My fingers then, just enough to get you off.”
“Jesus,” she said, already feeling warmth pour over her skin. She aimed a glare at Vlahos’s back. “You’re doing this. You’re making me want this.”
“I’m only making it easier for you,” came his muttered response.
“Goddamn you both,” she said, closing her eyes. Which was a mistake, because Billy was kissing her now, his lips softening over hers as he coaxed hers to move against him.
Then his fingers were slipping between their bodies, sliding over her mound, slipping between her folds, circling his pads over the hardening knot of her clit.
He lifted his head and gazed down at her. “I lied about a lot of things, but never this. Not with a single touch or kiss. I meant everything, Gillian.”
Tears slipped down the side of her face. “When my brother went on his rampage, I was afraid some of that madness might be inside me, too. I didn’t want to feel too much.”
“Evil was never inside you. Not even inside him. He was gone before the demon killed your family. You need to know that.”
Her breath hitched. “Like Means?”
“Yeah, he didn’t come into the world that way. But whatever his crimes, he didn’t eat people whole before his skin was possessed.”
A dart of arousal stabbed toward her womb. “Jesus, we’re talking about demons, and you’re getting me hot. What’s wrong with me?”
“A little help from Gabriel is all.”
“Is that how you got to me, Billy?”
“Only in the dreams. Everything outside of it was just us.”
“Promise?”
“Yes, baby. It’s good between us. If I let go of your hands are you going to clip me, or will you let me suck on those puffy nipples until you come?”
“Guess you’ll have to see.” She fisted her hands, lifting her chin to remind him she wasn’t happy about any of this.
He slowly released her, but she kept her fists beside her head, and he scooted down her body and opened his mouth around one of her breasts. And then she was moaning, writhing beneath him as heat curled tighter in her belly. His fingers plucked and rubbed her clit, his mouth suckled hard, and amazingly, she was almost there.
His head lifted. “You know what has to happen next, don’t you?”
She shook her head.
“You have to let Gabriel feed because we need him strong.”
