“Mmm… the ‘please or maybe… my name?” he murmurs, his voice thick with desire.
I groan, “Rrrrrr, damn it! Both. I love it when you beg me like that.” His hand shoots up, gripping my chin firmly, his thumb tracing slowly over my lips. “But what I really crave is hearing my name slip off your lips. God, it drives me wild. Come for me, baby p>
It’s like he knows exactly how to flip the switch inside me, igniting a fire that consumes every inch of my being. He pulls me closer, pressing harder against me, and my core clenches desperately, aching for release even though nothing is there yet. The sensation is just as intense as every other time he’s brought me to the edge. I’m sure my nails are digging into the back of his neck by now.
“BOSS!!! WHOA, SH*T, SORRY!” The door SLAMS open suddenly.
“What the hell was that?” I glance back toward the noise, startled.
Ryker growls low in his throat, “A dead Delta walking p>
I start to rise. “Sounds serious. We should check it out p>
He yanks me back down before I can move. “This is important, and I’m not finished with you yet p>
I chuckle softly, a teasing spark in my eyes. “Well, now that you’ve decided I’m stuck with you, we have plenty of time.” I reach up, catching his face in my hands, and press a quick kiss to his lips. Then, while he’s distracted, I slip off his lap.
“That’s cheating,” he protests, pouting like a petulant child. The most update n0vels are published on.net
“I thought we agreed I’d use whatever I’ve got to get my way,” I grin, holding out my hand. “Now, let’s go see what our dead Delta has to say after that rude interruption p>
Ryker groans but takes my hand anyway, standing and stalking toward the door with a dramatic scowl. He yanks it open with more force than necessary, clearly having caught the scent of Danny just beyond. “What’s so damn important?” he growls, teeth clenched, not bothering to hide his irritation.
Danny avoids Ryker’s gaze, eyes flicking everywhere but at him. “Sorry, Boss. We found a rogue camp.” He clears his throat nervously. “They seem peaceful enough, but they’re not far from where we found the little girl yesterday. Josh did a sweep with a team-there’s about fifty of them p>
He nods toward me. “We thought you’d want to check it out yourself, considering p>
Ryker rubs his face with one hand, then squeezes the hand he’s holding tightly before looking at me. “Damn. Yeah, I want to see it for myself.” His voice softens. “I’m sorry, baby. I have to go and p>
“I have to stay in the packhouse,” I finish for him, drawing a slow breath and releasing it calmly. “I’ve got some work to handle. It’s okay. You go take care of the pack. I do need to head into town later I promised Emily we’d have ice cream since she still has to rest today. I’ll drag Bennet and another warrior with me p>
Before he can argue with my plans, I tug him up with my hand, planting a quick kiss on his cheek. “Be safe. Love you.” Then I start to walk away.
But he doesn’t let me go. Instead, he pulls me back hard enough that I crash into his chest. “Not good enough, Little Lamb. No more teasing kisses.” His hands cup my face, and he presses his lips to mine in a deep, demanding kiss. My body arches perfectly against his, and a soft moan slips out before he swallows it, deepening the kiss even more.
We barely notice the clearing of a throat nearby.
I pull back just enough to tease Danny, lips still brushing Ryker’s. “Sounds like our Delta’s got some throat trouble p>
Ryker smiles against my mouth and presses a gentle kiss to my lips one more time. “Love you too, Lamb. Please be careful when you go out today. Have the guys check in with me when you leave, okay p>
“Okay.” Why does my voice come out barely above a whisper? That sexy half-smile of his always leaves me breathless.
I force myself to step away before I lose control and jump him right here in the
hallway—especially with Danny watching, who probably wouldn’t mind the show at
all.
