She knew she probably shouldn’t push his buttons, but it was just so muchfun.

Rye walked around her and pinned her under his intense gaze again. She managed to prevent herself from squirming, but only just.

“Because I care about you. And because, for now, I consider you mine.”

She snorted, which served to amuse him. The Alpha took another step, getting right in her personal space, and leaned towards her.

“You want to play this game? Fine. I’ll go in right now, grab the first girl who throws herself at me and screw her in the restroom. How would you like that?”

She knew he was just playing her, sheknewit, and she should have been able to shrug indifferently - but before her brain had kicked in, her cat was hissing and digging her claws into his arm, almost deep enough to mark.

“That’s what I thought.”

“You’re an asshole.”

“You like it in the asshole? Good to know.”

She groaned. “Please, Rygan- I swear I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. Just don’t ever attempt to joke again.”

He smiled, relaxed, and started playing with her hair. Strangely, she let him.

“A few friends of mine made it early. Only three of them, but they’re going to make a difference, even if no one else turns up.”

“I know. Daunte is here - he recognized one of the girls. He’s currently trying to chat her up.”

That made Ace wince. Daunte had tried to get into Vivicia’s pants for years - she shot him down so harshly each time, Ace was embarrassed on his behalf.

“So what made you crash our girls night out?”

“I might not have, if you’d just told me it was a girls night out.”

Touché.

“I didn’t think you’d leave your territory, with everything happening right now.”

“Jas came back - she, Ian, Coveney, Ola, and Tracy can handle things for an hour. We’re not far.”

She nodded, then, because she was pretty sure he wouldn’t catch the drift without a hint, she added, “You know, I would probably be a little less difficult if you didn’t attempt to boss me around.”

He shrugged unapologetically. “I’ll still try. You’ll shoot me down each time. Might as well get used to it. Come on. Dance with me, pretty cat.”

Surprise

Unsurprisingly, she felt right against him, her body fitting perfectly as they moved together; there were a good two hundred people in the club, but they might as well have been alone in the universe.

Rye caressed her arms, her back, her ass, exploring his mate. When he couldn’t stop himself from doing so, he tilted her head up, and kissed her plump lips. Not only did she let him- she responded touch for touch, and leaned closer to him, her soft curves pushed against his hard flesh.

“I’m going to take you home tonight.” It wasn’t a question. “I’ll make you scream my name so loud the entire town won’t doubt you’re mine.”

“Get it right, pretty boy,” the vixen replied, bitting his lip playfully. “I’mgetting you home, as there are no sensitive ears at my place. And you’dbettermake me scream.”

Fuck. She was so fucking perfect for him - the very first woman who’d ever dared to speak up to him.

“Holy fuck, Ace!” that came from a feminine voice close by; Rye was too busy nipping at his mate’s neck to care enough to check whose.

“Wanna introduce me to yourfriend?”

The voice sounded flirty and to his amusement, Aisling growled a warning.
