“No, you haven’t.”
Totally true. Quinley’s lips thinned. “I’m not going to get away with much now that you can sense my emotions so strongly, am I?”
“Nope.” Isaiah looped her hair around her ear. “I didn’t realize I was blocking the bond,” he said, a note of apology in his tone.
She frowned. “Of course you hadn’t realized. You would have done something about it if you had. So don’t dare say you’re sorry as if you did it on purpose.”
He grunted. “You’re in a bossy mood tonight. My cat finds it cute.”
She felt one brow shoot up. “Cute?”
“Yeah. Considering how the day went, he should still be seething. But he’s so content that we’re finally all-the-way mated that he’s reasonably chill.”
She felt her lips tip up. “My cat is the same.” The feline was pressing close to be near him. “She’s also feeling pretty pleased with herself after tormenting the pack earlier.”
“I can’t say I like that she didn’t just stay hidden to protect herself, but I am nonetheless proud of you both.”
That pride streamed down their bond… but another emotion joined it, making her lips tighten. “Stop feeling guilty for not being here to protect me.”
“I shouldn’t have left you alone.”
She bit his arm.
His brows flicked together. “Ow, what was that for?”
“I can’t tell you just how done I am with you taking on blame that doesn’t belong to you.” It was honestly maddening.
“No need to bring your teeth into it.”
Her cat twitched her tail, amused. “Oh hush, you like when I bite you.”
His lips curving, he cuddled her closer. “You know, for such a small person—”
“Hey!” she griped. There was no need to bring height into it.
“—you pack a punch.”
“What, physically? When have I ever punched you?”
He chuckled beneath his breath. “I mean the impact you have. You’re everything I need all bundled into the prettiest package. I never stood a chance. Fell for you so easily it’s almost embarrassing.”
Her heart went ahead and melted. “Is that your way of saying you love me?”
“Yeah, I love you,” he readily admitted, his voice warm and soft. “Which is good, because you love me too.”
She smiled so wide her cheeks hurt a little. “I do.” More than she’d thought possible. “And I’ll never stop.”
“Never, ever?”
“Never, ever.”
“Neither will I, baby. Neither will I.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
So this was how she’d die. Death by orgasm. What a way to fucking go.
Seriously, Quinley wasn’t sure she’d survive the insanely electric pleasure building in her belly. It was his fault. He’d repeatedly pushed her to the edge but then backed off, knowing it would make her eventual implosion so much more intense.
