“She’s got spirit, Keir. Sure you can handle her?” Owen asked with a cocky smirk.
“She’s fine. Just upset I didn’t get her off before you two came in.”
Gael laughed and slapped me on the shoulder. “Good luck.”
“Thanks,” I replied, and placed my hand on the small of Jynx’s back. She tried to move from my touch, so I circled my arm around her tiny waist.
We approached the door, and the same Caddie handed me back my weapons without a word, then opened the exit. Molly stepped outside first, and she audibly exhaled. I knew the feeling. Despite being Chief of the Mac Tíre Clan, I always found myself uncomfortable after being in the presence of Gael and his son.
When we were back in the car and pulling out of the gate, I glanced over at Jynx.
“Why are you still pretending we’re a couple?” she hissed under her breath.
“Because Owen asked me if he could fuck you.”
She turned her head slightly, mouth parted. Did she want him to touch her? And why did the very idea make me want to commit murder?
“What did you tell him?” she asked in a whisper, a tremor in her tone. Had she sensed something off with Owen as well?
“I told him I didn’t share, but I’d be sure to send you his way after I was done.” She turned quiet, almost resigned. Didshe actually think I’d do that? “I was joking, Jynx. I wouldn’t send you to that bastard.” Silence settled over the car for a while, making me uncomfortable. “Are you okay?”
“Fine.”
I smirked. “Still pissed off about missing out on an orgasm. I’ll give you one later.”
“I don’tneedyou to give me an orgasm,” she seethed.
That made me laugh. “Aye, but youwantone, don’t you?”
She made a derisive sound in the back of her throat and narrowed her eyes. “I don’t want anything from you other than your help to keep my sister safe.”
Taking my eyes off the road for a moment, I looked at her. “Shit like that will cost you, Jynx. You think I’m doing this for free?”
Her mouth popped open, snapped closed, then dropped open again.
“I love it when you fight me, baby, but I will still take what you owe me out on your body.”
A thrill shot through me when I saw her shiver at my words, yet she refused to acknowledge that she wanted me, rather desperately, if the way she pressed her thighs together was any indication.
She simply turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring my presence until we arrived at her mother’s house. Molly opened the door before the car had even come to a complete stop, jumping out and speed-walking to the front porch.
I called out, “You know how much I love the chase, Jynx, but I doubt anyone would appreciate it if I hunted you down out here and fucked you where I caught you.”
She spun to face me; her face flushed as her chest heaved with her angered breaths. “Why do you keep saying things like that?”
“Because you make me a fucking savage.” I stepped up to her, crowding her against the front door. Just beyond the wood was her family, and I didn’t give a fuck. That was how crazy she made me with all this push and pull. This tension was making my dick hard and my head foggy. All because of this frustrating, insufferable woman in front of me, who I should hate for her actions.
Wrapping my hand around her jaw, I held her still as I swooped in and claimed her mouth in a kiss and flexed my hips against hers. Everything about Jynx was all-consuming. Every-fucking-thing. I couldn’t keep my hands off her. Her small fingers tangled in the bottom of my shirt and dragged me closer, as she arched her back to drive into my hard cock, grinding herself against me. Releasing her face, I grabbed her upper thigh and pulled her hard against me. The gasp that left her throat made my blood hum in anticipation. I kissed my way down her neck. Nipping. Sucking. Marking her. Claiming her.
“Keir,” she gasped. “Keir, wait…”
I reared back, understanding the wordnowhen it came to a woman. I stared at the siren in front of me, her cheeks flushed and lips bee-stung from my ravaging mouth. She looked completely undone.
“My mam,” she said.
I blinked, then released her. “You’re right, Jynx. Now isn’t the time.”
She glanced down, then back up at me from under her lashes. With a quick shake of her head, she turned around and knocked on the door. I crowded her again, anchoring my hands to her waist, needing to feel her under my fingertips.
