“Put it there please?” I tried.
“He’ll pretend not to understand you if it’ll get him closer to touching or licking you,” Tea called over her shoulder. The door shut behind her, and then she disappeared into the garage.
I glanced at the wolf. “You’re not giving me my ring unless I let you lick me?”
He blinked slowly.
I wasn’t sure if that was a yes, or a no, or an, “I DON’T UNDERSTAND YOU,” but considering he’d just fetched my damn ring, I was leaning toward one of the first two.
“Fine. Give me my ring back and you can lick me here, once.” I closed my fist and pointed to the top of my hand. There was nothing sexy about a lick to the top of my hand, so I’d bargain with that any day of the week. “Ring first, though.”
My other hand extended, and he smoothly dropped the ring in it before licking the entirety of the top of my hand.
And sure enough, there was absolutely nothing sexy about it.
So… I was fine with it.
Even if it meant his ridiculously sharp teeth got ridiculously close to my skin.
The garage door opened, and Tea came back in with Jesse and the other guy. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember his name.
“How are they on food?” Jesse asked Tea, giving me a brief nod as he followed Teagan to the fridge.
“Didn’t check.” Teagan shrugged. “You guys are always super stocked-up on food.”
“Hey.” The guy whose name I didn’t know gave me a quick smile.
Ford growled at him, and my gaze jerked back down to the wolf.
“Don’t be a bastard, remember?” Tea yelled at him from the fridge.
He stopped growling.
That was… interesting.
“Sorry about the abduction thing. When a wolf starts his mate hunt, there’s not really a way around that unless we’re willing to let him go furry in the middle of a crowded place,” the guy whose name I couldn’t remember apologized.
“Mmhm. What was your name again?” I folded my arms.
Ford growled again, though slightly quieter this time. I still jumped a bit.
“Rocco.” He grinned. “And if you ever want him to calm down or shut up, you can just pat him on the head.” Gesturing toward Ford, he mimed patting the air at about the same level the wolf’s head was.
I wrinkled my nose. “Thanks?”
Rocco laughed. He had a good laugh, I decided, even if he wasn’t quite as gorgeous as Ford. It was the kind of laugh that made everyone else want to laugh too, and I liked that.
Ford growled again.
“What’s he mad about now?” I asked.
Rocco’s grin widened. “I’m laughing and you’re watching. For a wolf, that’s enough.”
I lifted an eyebrow.
How did that make sense?
“Werewolves are really, really possessive. Like look-at-my-mate-too-long-and-I’ll-kill-you possessive,” Teagan explained, coming back over with Jesse. Their fingers were locked together, their arms all but glued to each other. “It’s terrible at first, but you get used to it. Mostly.”
