“Are you alright?” I ask when she pulls away, setting her purse on the table.

“I should be asking you that,” she replies. Her hand holds onto the counter while her other slips off her shoes.

“I’m pissed. I’m worried what could happen because of that interaction,” I confess. I track one shoe dropping and then the other.

“You think he will go to a fight and talk.”

“Yes,” I answer. “I may have to deal with it before Heath finds me.”

“Mmm…” she hums, resting on the island.

“You weren’t scared?”

Her head jerks. “Why would I be scared?”

My eyebrows shoot up. “I could have killed him.”

“That's the reason I wasn’t scared,” she explains. “I knew you would kill him if he tried to do anything to me.”

I studied her, taking a deep breath. There is no evidence of her fear. I do smell her need. I tilt my head. “You liked it,” I whisper.

“What?” she mutters. “Why would I?”

“You liked that I had the power to kill him.” I relish her red face.

“That would be silly,” she denies. “I don’t want you to kill anyone.”

“You may not want me to, but you like that I defended you. You like my power.” I take a step towards her, and the scent gets stronger.

“Whatever,” she says dismissively.

“Did you get turned on?” She looks anywhere but at me. “You did, didn’t you.” I don’t stop until she can feel the heat from my body.

“Fuck,” she groans, putting her hand on her head. “It’s pointless to deny it. I forget that you can smell everything.” She draws out the word everything.

“It is pointless,” I agree.

“It is silly, huh?”

“Never,” I say quickly. I cup her face, holding her still. “There is nothing wrong with liking a mate that can take care of you. I would fight to the death to protect you,” I say fiercely.

“Great,” she whines.

A slow grin comes over my face. I swear I can hear her drip. “Do you want me to fuck you?” I ask silkily.

“Yes,” she says with no hesitation.

I love a woman that knows what she wants. “Are you fond of that dress?” I pinch the fabric of her skirt.

“Yes,” she blurts out, holding out her palm and waving it. “You guys have to stop ruining my clothes.”

“I’ll try not to rip it,” I smirk.

I spin her around, and she gasps as I bend her over the counter. I find the zipper between her shoulder blades. Hooking it, I slowly lower it.

“I have no preferences when it comes to fucking you,” I inform her as the teeth of the zipper travels. “You can call me anything you want. You can make as much noise as you want. Sometimes, I’ll fuck you anywhere, on anything, at any time.” I stare at the lovely skin that is revealed once I reach the top of her ass. I move back up to hook my fingers in the straps at her shoulders. As I pull, I put my mouth on her spine. “I do like to turn an ass red.” I breathe over her skin, loving the shiver that works through her. I yank the fabric over her shoulders, down her body, and over her breasts, and it resists when it catches on her nipples. “Lift a little, baby.” Her palms push up, and the dress is at her waist. “Have you ever been spanked?” I place kisses following the curve of her back.

“Yes,” she says. “Only once.”
