feelin’ in the world than transforming from human to animal to back again.”
    Oscar ran his hand up and down Adele’s thigh. “I don’t know. I bet I can think of something else that feels even better.”
    Adele blushed. “I know this seems like a silly question, but your eyes—they’re not like any color I’ve ever seen before. That particular green is stunning, and the gold flecks are so bright. Is that something characteristic of being a shifter?”
    Xavier nodded. “And when a human is turned into a shifter, their eyes turn that color, too.”
    Adele didn’t want to admit that this possibility unsettled her. She could almost wrap her mind around the possibility of suddenly being able to switch between human and gator form. But she didn’t like the idea that there would always be something in her human face that would indicate her shifter status. She wanted to exist as one or the other. She didn’t like the thought of the two identities blending together.
    Thankfully, the food arrived before Adele had the chance to let her worries get the better of her. They dug into their plates, silent for awhile, enjoying the tastes and smells that surrounded them.
    “Hey, you have a little sauce stuck on your mouth,” Oscar said. Adele put her fork down and offered her lips. Oscar ran his finger along the corner of her lip, and she sucked the juice off the tip. Seeing him attempt to suppress a groan, she took his hand and slid another finger into his mouth, and then took a third before finally releasing him.
    “Did you like that?” she asked with a wink.
    “What do you think?”
    “I think we should go somewhere a little more private if we want to keep doing this,” Oscar said.
    Adele smiled. “Just what I had in mind.”
    “Shall we go upstairs?” Xavier asked.
    Adele looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What do you mean?”
    “Well, it’s over an hour back to the boat houses,” Xavier explained. Every time Oscar and I come into the city for the evenin’, we usually get a hotel room. It’s safer than tryin’ to take the boats back when we’re tired after a night on the town. Since we were havin’ dinner at the Roosevelt Hotel tonight anyway, we figured it would be nice to book a room here. We like to indulge ourselves when we can.”
    “And the bed just so happens to be big enough for three,” Oscar said, giving her a wink. “’Course, if you’re havin’ second thoughts, you don’t have to join us. But if you’re as interested in continuin’ this as we are, you have an open invitation.”
    Adele grinned. “I think that sounds perfect.”
    “In fact,” Xavier said, “why don’t we just put the dinner bill on our room tab so we don’t have to worry about paying that right now?”
    After a quick word to the maître d’, Xavier and Oscar both linked arms with Adele and escorted her to the elevator. As the cabin rose, Oscar leaned over and pressed her in a deep kiss while Xavier dotted the back of her neck with kisses of his own. As Oscar’s tongue slid in and out of her mouth, Xavier eased a hand up her dress and pushed her panties aside and began working her clit in slow circles. The kisses didn’t stop. Oscar plunged his tongue farther and tugged on her lower lip with his teeth. Xavier’s fingers increased their pace, bringing her body closer and closer to the edge of release. Adele felt her body pulsing with need and wanted to cry out in frustration when the elevator stopped and the doors opened.
    “I was so close,” she gasped as they stepped into the hallway.
    “Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long before we finish you off,” Xavier whispered. He kept his hands on her hips as they walked down the hall to the room. Once they were inside, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her.
    “Wait,” Adele said as he pulled away. She wanted to make sure the rules were clear before they got carried away.
    “What’s wrong?” Oscar asked.
    “I just have one thing I
