“Will you tell us more about her?” Moni whispers, pulling me out of my musings. It’s as if she doesn’t want to break his serene expression.
“What?” he startles. “Like a bedtime story?”
“Oh! Yes! Bedtime stories are the best. Tell me a bedtime story!” Moni cheers as she bounces on her seat.
Lucifer chuckles. “I don’t think your mate would appreciate me telling you a bedtime story and tucking you into bed.”
“Oh, Sparkle Buns! I forgot about Chester.” Moni squishes her cheeks together as her bark turns to glitter bomb. “I need to go!” She darts up and starts out of the door.
“I guess it’s time for me to head off to bed too,” I say, getting up as Moni comes flying back in.
“Good night!” She slams into Lucifer and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek, flying out of the room once again.
“Is she always so affectionate toward others she barely knows?” he asks as he watches her green trail.
Unshed tears burn behind my lids as I look at my biological father. I wonder what kind of life Moni would have had if she grew up down here instead of with her mother and then abandoned. Hell, would I have even been in her life?
Lucifer turns, and something on my face is answer enough for him as he purses his lips and nods. “I can tell it hasn’t been an easy road for her.”
“She’s a lot stronger than she looks, but yes, if she considers you family… She will treat you as such,” I tell him with a smile, then follow my sister back to our hall.
CHAPTER 36
Prey or Predator
Rez
We walk back to our rooms without JP and Moni. Since tomorrow Levi is leaving to deal with the Elversons, I’m hoping to spend some time with him tonight. Before I can slip into my room and change to surprise Levi, Knox comes up behind me, engulfing me in his arms. “Do you mind if I stay with you tonight?” After our discussion on our adventure this morning, I couldn’t help but agree to his request. Maybe I can spare some time with Levi in the morning? I turn my head to smile up at my alpha and grab his hand, leading him into my room. Reaper easily follows and kicks the door shut behind us.
“Did he just shut the door?” Knox asks, and we both stare down at my little man.
Reaper glances up at us and then sneezes before running over to the closet and wiggling his tail.
“I think he did.” I look back at Knox. “I don’t know what to make of him. Can you pick up anything?” I ask, wondering if his ability allows him to talk to Reaper.
“I can’t talk with him like my animals, but I know he loves you and he is aware of what his prior owner was going to do. He knows something bad was going to happen and you saved him, so he’s loyal to you,” Knox informs me, and my heart breaks for my little guy.
Walking over to the closet, I squat down to hug him to me. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Reaper. I just want you safe and happy, okay?” I squeeze him, and he licks my face before trying to climb up into my lap. “Nah. We’re not climbing up now. We’re getting ready for bed,” I say.
After getting Reaper settled in his dog bed with a few chew toys, I get dressed and crawl into bed, waiting for Knox. He doesn’t disappoint as he comes out of the bathroom shirtless.
His chest is well defined, and the perfection travels down to his abs, which are silently begging for me to lick them. My gaze travels down to his narrow waist and to the happy trail that I would love to follow down to his prize possession. His shorts, which are barely hanging on his hips—get your mind out of the gutter. A sigh escapes me as I frown. Yes, if I had sex right now, I’m sure my pussy would just fall out and run for the hills, but this is my alpha. I kinda want to play a little… Okay, a lot.
Knox stops by the side of the bed and cocks his head to the side, reminding me of a wolf, and sniffs.
“Aww, kitten. Do you want to play?” he asks as his hands come to his waist. I turn to my side to get a better view of him as he slowly pulls down his shorts until I see his cock head, which is glistening with pre-cum, but he covers it back up when I lick my lips.
“Aww. Tease.” I pout.
“Beg.” His voice comes out growly, and a thrill goes through me.
Now how to play this? Be a bad girl and deny him what he wants, or be a good girl and get what I want. Fuck me. I roll my eyes and move onto my back to shimmy off my shorts. Next, I take off my top and throw both of them past Knox and continue to keep my mouth shut. Instead, I make a point of sliding my hand down my body underneath the covers and bringing my legs up, parting them.
Before I can reach my pelvic region, Knox growls, and I pause, biting the shit out of my cheek to keep from smiling.
“Kitten,” he warns, and the sound of his voice goes straight to my nipples and clit.
“Hmm?” I say, trying to control my breathing already.
