Kieran:
I would have preferred the night to be just the two of us.
Don't get me wrong... I loved my brothers.
But there was something about having Evaline all to myself that I had been looking forward to since the moment I walked out of that bathroom.
Still…
When River stepped into the room and shut the door behind him, I felt a slow grin spreading across my face.
Because if anything, his presence only made things more interesting.
And judging by the way our mate stiffened slightly in my arms, she seemed to realize the same thing.
River walked toward us calmly, his deep green eyes resting on our mate for a moment before his hands moved to the buttons of his shirt.
Evaline's fingers tightened around my neck while her gaze followed him instinctively.
Button by button.
Slowly.
Deliberately.
River knew exactly what he was doing.
The man was practically giving her a strip tease.
And Evaline…
Poor thing looked like she had forgotten how to breathe.
