“If we’re going to share this room with you all, I’m going to need you to not fuck my best friend for a few days,” a deep voice announced from just outside our bedroom door.
My brow furrowed as I glanced down at a scrambling Rae, her cheeks pink.
“You realize he’s going to demand the same of you, yes?” another male voice drawled back at him. “Were you planning to spend those days on the couch by yourself? Because I’m not agreeing to a no-sex policy. And I suspect Luna won’t either.”
“Silas,” Raelyn whispered, her expression brightening as she began to dress.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to put on clothes,” I told her.
“I don’t recallasking,” she returned, her jeans already half up her legs.
I had half a mind to grab her, pin her, and fuck her just to make a point. But a buzzing from the nightstand interrupted my yearning.
“The whole world is full of assholes,” I muttered, grabbing my discarded watch.
Raelyn giggled and walked around the bed as she pulled on her sweater. It was the complete opposite of what I wanted, but at least she went without a bra. “I’ll make it up to you in the shower,” she whispered before kissing my jaw.
I fisted her hair before she could walk away and caught her mouth with my own, ignoring the secondary buzz coming from my other hand. She melted into me, allowing my tongue to master hers as she wrapped her arms around my waist.
You’re going to do a lot more than make it up to me,I said into her mind.And this mouth of yours is going to prove its worth.
It’s a good thing I’m well trained,she returned, her teeth sinking into my bottom lip, just as mine had done to hers moments ago.But if I’m going to kneel for you, I expect you to return the favor.
Oh, I will,I promised her.We’re going to chase thatbest friendof yours right out of this suite with your screams.
The item in my hand vibrated a third time.
I ignored it.
If that mutt thinks he can tell me what to do, he’s going to be wildly surprised by how I react,I went on.Warn him before I demonstrate.
She grinned against my mouth.No fighting with the wolves, yet. They just arrived.
Yourbest friendstarted it.
She nipped my lip again. “You’re my best friend, Kylan. I’ll make sure he knows that.”
I narrowed my gaze at her playful tone. “Be sure that you do.Mate.”
Her icy gaze glittered in response. “I love you, too,” she deadpanned.
I tightened my grasp in her hair. “I believe I love you more.”
“We’ll see.”
“Yes, we will,” I agreed, releasing her. “Now go play with yourfriend. Tell him to behave like a good little wolf. He still owes me from when I saved his life.”
She shook her head at me, but the upward tilt of her lips told me she was amused. “You should answer that,” she said as it hummed for a fourth time.
Sighing, I glanced at it. “It’s not a call. They’re text messages.” And they appeared to be from Ryder.
I sat on the edge of the bed, still naked, and pulled up a translucent screen so I could flip through the short statements.
It’s true, was the first message.
All of it, was the second one.
And there’s so much more.
