Kiss Across Time (Kiss Across Time Series) Read online

  She nodded, feeling winded and reassessed once more Brody’s unscheduled and unaccompanied visit to her lowly apartment. He had taken a huge risk.

  When she pressed the doorbell buzzer, a maid answered the door, opened it wide for her and waved her in. “Come. Come,” she said with a heavy Spanish accent.

  “I’m looking for—“

  “Come,” the maid insisted, waving her on. Clearly, English wasn’t even close to a résumé entry for her. Taylor followed her as the maid hurried through the foyer into a room of staggering beauty. A library of books. Books. Taylor came to another astonished halt.

  “Oh…”

  Brody looked up from his sprawl on a sofa and his face lit up.

  Veris turned around from examining the shelves and she saw him draw in a breath and let it out. He moved toward her very slowly, as if he was afraid he might startle her.

  The door she had just stepped through shut softly. Taylor faced Veris, took a deep breath and dropped the coat at her feet. Beneath she wore black lace-topped stay-up stockings, red and black French lace thong panties and a matching shelf bra, Swarovski crystals in her belly button and clipped to her nipples. “Yes,” she told him.

  She heard Brody’s breath catch but she was watching Veris’ face.

  His response caught her by surprise even though she had deliberately baited him. Moving faster than human perception could follow, he came at her. She was swooped up in his arms, carried to the rug in front of the fireplace that crackled with a real fire and placed on her knees on the rug, facing the fire. His arms were around her and his fangs were out and piercing her neck, before she even realized what was happening.

  Taylor fell back against him, as the erotically charged bite registered. She moaned in ecstasy, writhing in his arms. “Mine,” Veris growled against her neck.

  “And mine,” Brody added, as he sank his fangs into her neck on the other side.

  Taylor cried out as the double dose of aphrodisiac slammed into her system and she squirmed between them, her fingers raking across their bodies in a desperate bid to draw them into her. She was incoherent. Drugged with lust.

  “Take me,” she moaned. “Make me yours.”

  Veris’ fingers trembled as they wrenched the panties from her. He bent her over and she felt the cool touch of lubricant and deep wicked excitement shuddered through her. “Hurry,” she moaned.

  His fingers pushed inside her, and gently stretched her, working the muscle. She closed her eyes. Even that simple touch was almost overwhelming. She was shuddering, her breathing uneven. Veris’ cock pushed against her anus and she pushed back. There was a flare of pressure, then the slick feeling of being opened as he slid into her. She gave a choked cry.

  But it wasn’t finished yet. Veris was lifting her shoulders, bringing her up and Brody was stroking her pussy as he brought his cock up against her. She threw her arm around his neck. “Yes. Hurry.” She was starting to shake as her climax drew near.

  His cock eased inside her. There was no way to hurry it. There was so little room in her channel. But at last he was deep inside her and she could feel the impending climax. There was no holding it back.

  Veris turned her head and kissed her, even as her orgasm bloomed and her body clenched around them all. She screamed and they absorbed it into themselves, making it a part of them.

  When she opened her eyes, they were elsewhere. A curtained bed with the curtain drawn closed.

  Medieval, she judged.

  There was a flickering candle beyond the curtain, and it was the only source of light.

  She looked up at Veris, who watched her with cautious blue eyes, then at Brody, who held her, waiting for her to speak.

  “And whose life was this?” she asked in a whisper.

  They both relaxed and rained kisses on her face and whatever parts of her body they could reach. Her decadent lingerie and body jewelry had disappeared, for this was a memory of a time long gone. Brody and Veris lay her down in the bed and held her between them.

  Veris stroked her brow. “You’re here to stay?” he asked and even she could hear the hope in his voice.

  “Yes means yes, Veris,” she told him gently. “You bought my independence. I’ve run out of excuses to stay away.”

  Brody stroked her stomach, making it twitch and spasm. “You shouldn’t be looking for excuses to stay away, leannán. You should be looking for reasons to stay.”

  “I have reasons to stay,” Taylor admitted. She turned her gaze away from them. “They scare me.”

  “Love scares you?” Brody asked, his voice a rumble.

  Even hearing the word on his lips made her jump. She found her gaze dragging back to him. Brody was smiling.

  “Veris and I made our peace with it a long time ago,” he explained. “It’s a tough old emotion, that one. You’ve a right to feel fear. Love gives no quarter and fights to the death.”

  Veris touched her chin and brought her gaze to meet his. “But know this, Taylor. You’ll never be alone. Never. That’s a guarantee no human can ever give you. You’ll never be harmed while either of us walks this earth.”

  “I love you,” she said. “Both of you, so much.” She felt tears sting her eyes. “What did I do to deserve you?”

  Brody caught her tear as it slid from her eye and licked his fingertip. “You believed in fairytales, once upon a time.” he said. “And a poet called Domhnall.”
