The lounge door is open, and it sounds like a Spanish soap opera is on the TV.
I push the door inward and find Bishop sitting on one of the blue leather couches in front of the big screen. The Spanish soap opera is playing on a low volume, and he looks more like he’s staring through the screen than paying attention to anything that’s on it.
He looks up and straightens up when I walk into the room.
“Hey,” I greet him.
“Hey, Sapphire,” he says, his gaze going straight to my mark.
His pretty eyes are lined with dark shadows today.
He definitely needs to get some sleep.
I bite my lip as I move over to where he’s sitting.
“You’re blocking the TV,” he murmurs, as if he’s looking at anything other than my mark, anyway.
I kneel down in front of him. “Better?”
“Um …” He looks down at me. “What are you doing?”
“I thought I’d better explain why I let Scout mark me first.”
He smiles. “You don’t need to explain. It made him feel good. It doesn’t bother me.”
“Something does bother you, though,” I tell him. “I think you’re worried that I’m walking around without your mark, and that’s like I’m not protected. So, I want you to mark me.”
He leans forward. “I’m just a little tired. Nothing’s bothering me. We can wait until you’re ready to be … What are you doing?”
“Taking off my clothes.” It seems obvious to me.
He watches silently, his gaze darkening as it drifts down from my face to my mark to my breasts to my pussy. I climb onto his lap.
“I’m ready to be marked, Bishop. I’m ready for everything you’ve got.”
Not that I’m expecting him to give me much of anything right now.
He’s exhausted, and he needs to rest.
I don’t think he will until he’s marked me.
Claiming me can wait.
Marks show who my protectors are.
He’s my lead Alpha. The one I’ll take orders from.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmurs, as he slides a hand into my hair. “And smart, and brave. I’m the lead Alpha, and here you are, dominating me.”
“Like only a true mate can,” I remind him.
He leans in and kisses me on the lips softly.
I sink down into his lap and kiss him back.
We stay locked in that embrace for a few sweet moments, and then a low-whistle disturbs us.
I already know we’re going to see Rueben when we look to the doorway.
