I filled up an oversized coffee mug and took a fortifying sip. I blinked several times until the coffee kicked in and turned to the table with a smile on my face. “Is everything all right?”
Diesel and Rocky exchanged a look that said everything was definitely not okay.
“What is it?”
“Nothing to worry about, but I’m needed at the clubhouse today.”
“Of course.” He didn’t need to hover, didn’t need to stay close. He had a job and a life before he met me and Leo. “You have obligations. Leo and I will be fine here.”
“No,” he said. “I need you closer than that. You’ll come to the clubhouse with me.”
I frowned and shook my head, even as Rocky grinned and wiggled his eyebrows at us. “Need her closer, do ya?”
We both ignored him.
“That’s not necessary,” I said to Diesel, trying to keep my voice light to avoid alarming Leo that anything was wrong. “You said we’d be good here. We’re here now, so what’s the concern?”
His blue eyes could have burned a hole through me with their intensity, but he didn’t answer my question.
“It’s settled, then. Leo and I will be here.”
The chair wobbled with the speed that Diesel stood and closed the distance between us. “A minute, sweetness?” Before I could say a damn word, he dragged me down the hall and into my temporary office.
“What the hell was that?” I growled angrily even though the caveman move lit my body up like Fourth of July fireworks.
He smiled. “Better tell your nipples you didn’t like it first.”
“Well, they aren’t in charge here,” I grouched, crossing my arms tightly and feeling a certain amount of vindication when his eyes tracked down to my squished breasts. “I am, and I want to know what the hell you think you’re doing.”
Diesel let out a low, sexy growl and then he was on me, his mouth and his hands, devouring me and driving me wild with his rough touch. He nipped at my bottom lip, and I shuddered at the wicked move. “I can’t get enough of you,” he said as he kissed his way down my throat.
His hand slipped into my pajama pants until he gripped my bare ass and pulled me flush against him. He was hard. And thick. And long. I pushed him back, chest heaving and eyes wide. Panties soaked with desire. “Don’t use your stupid sex appeal to distract me.”
He laughed. “Stupid?”
I nodded. “You heard me.”
His smile remained, but his demeanor shifted on a dime. “There’s a problem that I need to look into.”
“I understand you have work to do, Diesel.”
He nodded. “The day I found out about Leo, the Sheriff mentioned something about bodies being found.”
“Bodies?” I gasped in shock.
“Yeah. The girls don’t work for me, but another body was dropped off late last night at one of our brothels.”
“Oh my god!” I shook my head at how easily he spoke of dead bodies. “Are you sure we’re safe here?”
He nodded. “I’m sure. But dropping a body on our property is like someone sending us a message, and I’d feel better if you were close until I figured out what the fuck is going on. Can you work with me, sweetness?”
My shoulders fell. The weight of the responsibility he carried suddenly became very real and I felt bad for giving him shit. “Yeah, okay, fine. Just for today,” I gave in. Again. Too easily. “Is this place kid friendly?”
He smiled. “I’ll ask the guys to hold off juggling chainsaws until you’re gone. I promise.”
I rolled my eyes. “You don’t have to be a smartass, you know.”
“I don’t have to be, but it’s so much fun.” He winked and took my hands in his before yanking me so we were chest to chest. “I haven’t been able to think of anything but you with those fingers deep inside your pussy,” he growled in my ear. “But I meant what I said. My mouth is watering for your honey.”
