“I’m not playing this game with you.”
“You have made it clear you’re not interested in him. Why should he wait around for your dick when he can get one of his own?” Typical Chelsea. Always getting into business that wasn’t hers. I wouldn’t call her and Loki best friends but sometimes they told each other things.
“You know the deal. He’s Odin’s son.” I shook my head. “I’m not getting involved in that. Not that it’s any of your business.”
“Touchy.” She grinned and tapped my arm. “What Loki does is none of your business, either.”
“It is if something happens to him. Our rivals know who to kidnap if they want Odin to bend to their will.”
She laughed. “Who are we talking about? Loki’s not a damsel in distress. If someone kidnapped him to blackmail Odin, I’d be more worried aboutthemthan Loki.”
I joined in on her laughter because it was true. Loki was a crazy son of a bitch in the best of times. I’d never seen anyone head into danger headfirst like he did. I left the bar without another word, and she sidled toward Syn again, our conversation over. Walking toward the front door, I gave Modi, our sergeant at arms, a salute as I swept passed him. He probably didn’t notice because he had leaned his head back as one of the hang arounds rode his cock on a leather couch.
The barroom led into the foyer of the clubhouse mansion. The house belonged to Odin, something he inherited from an uncle who passed away well before my time. I’d asked Odin what the uncle had done once, but he’d shrugged it off and said, “Who gives a shit? I got a house.”
I snorted, even thinking about it now. He was right. He didn’t just get ahouse, though, he got a fucking mansion in an expensive neighborhood where business tycoons, movie stars, and billionaires lived.
I left through the front double doors and stopped right outside. The night was cool, a soft breeze fluttering around me as winter began to set in. Pleasant Beach didn’t get as cold as Washington, and I was thankful for that. I grew up in the very north of Washington on the coast and it hadn’t been pleasant. The small town stayed cloudy for eleven months of the year, and when rain season came along, the cold chilled me to the bone. I preferred Cali weather.
A car parked on the curved driveway made me pause. I couldn’t see the color or make in the dark, but the dome light inside the car was on. Two bodies moved. I went down the steps of the mansion and walked closer, familiar blond curls catching my attention.
The nearer I crept, the more it was obviously Loki. He was clearly on top of the other person—the hang around he’d left with, I presumed—and was bouncing on him. Through the back windshield, I saw Loki’s hands clutching the headrest of the seat. He was staring straight at me, a grin on his face. The front driver’s window was open, and Loki’s exaggerated moans were loud enough for people three streets away to hear.
My belly knotted with warmth as I watched him, unable to tear my gaze away. He was beautiful under the glow of the dome light, which enveloped him like a halo.
Clenching my fists, my muscles tensed until they hurt. Every fiber in my body demanded I go over there and yank him out of the car, but my brain fought with the rest of me.
Odin’s son.
Forbidden.
But fuck, he was stunning like this—face contorted in pleasure, cheeks flushed, and hair stuck to his temples by sweat. I needed to walk away, but my boots were glued to the ground.
He smirked at me, raising his hand to flutter his fingers at me through the back windshield.Mischievous brat.
The hang around grabbed Loki’s curls and tugged back his head, and Loki’s mouth popped open in a moan, and that’s when the thinly corded control within me snapped. I stormed forward before I realized what I was doing and yanked open the car door. The hang arounds’ wide eyes turned on me and he let out a “What the f—” as I jerked Loki off his cock and out of the car. He nearly tripped on his jeans gathered around his ankles but managed to catch himself.
The hang around jumped out, too, cock waving as he went to take a swing at me, but I struck him in the cheekbone with a closed fist. The sizzling sting of my knuckles meeting his face sent a sharp thrill through me and settled in my balls. The hang around collapsed back onto the seat of his car and groaned. I took a step away, pleasure coiling in the pit of my stomach as I spun on Loki.
He smirked at me again, fingers stroking his exposed cock. “That was rude.”
I curled my upper lip at him and grabbed him, heaving him over my shoulder. He let out a surprised breath but didn’t struggle as I stalked around the side of the mansion and toward an alcove where we would have complete privacy. Not many of our brothers or sisters came this way at night, choosing not to walk too far away from the beer.
I didn’t care, though. I wanted Loki, and I was going to have him. He wasmine.
I dropped him back on his feet when I got him to the dark alcove, and he spun toward me, teeth gnawing at his bottom lip and a impish glint in his eyes. He knew exactly what he’d done and that had been his intention all along.
“You got me here. Whatareyou going to do with me?” He teased, voice low and seductive as he wrapped his fingers around his cock, tugging.
“You’ve pushed me too far, Loki,” I snarled.
He laughed. “Boohoo. Spank me for it.”
No, I wasn’t going to spank him, I was going to do so much more than that. I grabbed his shoulder and spun him, slamming him face first against the brick wall of the house. He grunted in surprise, his hands stopping him from breaking his pretty nose. Turning his head, no doubt to snap something in my direction, he paused when he saw me struggling with the button of my jeans. His mouth parted in a small breath of surprise.
“Finally going to be a man and take me?” he asked, the corner of his mouth tilting. The only way I could see him clearly was because of the light from the window beside his head. It came from the kitchen but was higher up, which meant no one could see us here.
I grabbed the back of his head and pressed his face against the rough brick, and he grunted, struggling, but froze when I slapped him hard across his bare ass.
