whether Tira was shocked or envious. Then Tira started to grin. “Whoa, Nica. I want details tomorrow. Lots and lots of details.” Then she hesitated. “But…”
Nica glanced up from her retrieving her purse. “But what?”
Tira glanced at the men again then looked at Nica. Nica knew her friend was trying to catch a vision, to see into her future. Then Tira shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. I’m not seeing anything. Have a good time, Nica. Enjoy yourself.”
Enjoy yourself.
Those words continued to circulate through her head as she walked back to the brothers, Tanner’s smile easy and open, Jensen’s gaze intense.
Doubt tried to settle into her chest but she moved forward, her gaze caught on Jensen’s.
“Are you ready to leave?” he asked.
She smiled. “Yes.”
Chapter Two
Jensen drove, Nica in the front passenger seat, Tanner in the back.
The brothers kept up a steady conversation, light but with an undercurrent that kept desire humming. It filled the air and her arus soaked it in like a sponge with water.
Magic rose through her body, making her flesh tingle and her sex clench. Blessed Goddess, the power she could channel with these two. Too bad they were eteri and could never know exactly what she was…
When Jensen parked halfway down a short side street a few blocks back from Penn Avenue, she turned to see a white, two-story cottage that looked like something out of a fairy tale. And momentarily forgot how turned-on she was.
She turned to Jensen. “Is this yours?”
He shut off the car before looking first at her then past her to the house. “Yeah. We’ve still got some stuff to do to the exterior. New shutters, another coat of paint. We focused on the interior during the winter.”
“But it’s still a little rough,” Tanner added. “We don’t have a lot of time to work on it during the summer.”
“It’s adorable.”
Both men snorted identically as they pushed open their doors and stepped out of the Toyota Highlander. Tanner immediately opened her door and helped her down to the sidewalk.
“Sweetheart, men’s homes are not adorable.” He continued to hold onto her hand as she stepped onto the sidewalk.
“Well, this one definitely is. I love it.”
The house had two stories, the second slightly smaller than the first. Huge windows on both floors had dark shutters on either side and the roof was flat though it dipped down in front to almost touch the top of the second-story windows. None of the houses on the street remotely resembled each other and this one appealed to her like none of the others.
She couldn’t wait to see the inside.
Jensen walked ahead to open the front door and wave her through. Tanner slid past her and turned left, flipping on a light and illuminating a sitting room as he continued into the kitchen at the back of the house.
“Do you want something to drink?” Tanner asked as he opened the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water.
Behind her, she heard Jensen close and lock the door.
And her breath caught in her throat, her stomach clenching in anticipation.
Jensen stopped next to her, drawing her gaze. He watched her with those blue eyes, the hunger and heat she saw there ensnaring her attention.
His hands, large and solid, cupped her face, the warmth of his skin sending shivers down her back, forcing her lips to part so she could breathe.
He held her gaze for so long, she thought she might have to kiss him. Vaguely, she heard the refrigerator door close then footsteps sounded on the wooden floor behind her.
Would Jensen kiss her first or would Tanner touch her?
Each second that passed as she waited for the answer tortured her.
When Jensen finally moved, she drew in a deep breath. And when his lips touched hers, her mind blanked to everything but the sensation of his skin on hers.
He moved his lips over hers slowly, as if savoring. Then his mouth opened over hers, his tongue slipping between her lips to stroke along hers.
