Leon
There was no more denying how deep I needed her, and not just for tonight. Seeing her dance and be eyed by other males sent me into a rage to claim and mark her as my own.
I’d never be able to let her go.
I ran inside, taking the stairs two at a time to my room.
It had been years since I’d felt such excitement. I wanted to take her slow, enjoy her beauty, taste every part of her until she opened her soul to mine.
Kicking the door shut, I carried her over to the bed and gently laid her down.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
A little drool spooled at the corner of her mouth, eyes shut, and that classic snore pouring out of the mouth I wanted to kiss.
“Havana.” I leaned over, caressing the side of her face. “Are you awake?”
When she didn’t stir, I nudged her arm.
She responded with a loud snore.
I sat on the edge of my bed, sighing. “The All Father hates me.”
With a groan, I picked her up and moved her toward my pillows, then tucked her in. Dead as a rock.
Tomorrow, I wouldn’t be so gentle with her. No female had ever frustrated and unnerved me as much as Havana. Ihadto have her, but with that same intensity, I wanted to protect her, keep her safe from anything that would cause harm.
“I need a drink. A very strong one.” I locked my door and headed downstairs.
My crew sat at a table playing cards, which I was certain they’d be at all night until one of them ran out of coin.
I sat down and folded my arms.
Havoc arched a brow at me. “Where’s the woman?”
“Asleep,” I grumbled.
Harris laughed, and if he wasn’t on the opposite side of the table, I’d knock him.
“Deal me in,” I said. “Can someone get me a drink!”
My shout made Harris howl. It was rare my men saw me agitated in this way.
“Excuse me, Captain.” A young island fae with shaggy hair stepped to our table. “The party you’ve been waiting for will be at the docks. Better hurry.”
“Thank you.” I handed the fae a coin and motioned for the men to take their leave.
“But I was winning,” Harris complained as he threw his cards on the table.
“Later, the Magi Council is collecting the shipment at the dock.”
That made them all rush and kiss their females goodnight.
Earlier, I had sent a message to the council informing them of the issue with our original meeting place. They didn’t sound happy and said to wait for their arrival.
At this hour, the docks were empty. We headed to where we had theRavageranchored.
