“Takeanotherbite.Iknow you’re not hungry yet, but I need to make sure you eat.” Arsenio offers me a forkful of eggs. “You need your energy.”

“I need you to kneel down and kiss me where it aches,” I counter, forcing my mouth to open for him to feed me.

My demand elicits a surprised laugh from him, his handsome face lighting up. He lifts an eyebrow, glides his tongue over his bottom lip, and eases to the floor. Resting his warm palms on my knees, he spreads my legs wider, easing them onto his shoulders.

I grip the table and moan, the sensation of his mouth awakening my body again, igniting my desire. I comb my fingers through his honey blond hair, guiding his head to lick me harder. I squeeze him between my thighs, my muscles pulsing with an orgasm. He’s mastered exactly what I like and what gets me off the fastest, so he can give me one after another.

“Need some help, brother?” Desmond strolls into the kitchen, a towel slung low on his hips, showing off the V pointing to his hard-on. Arsenio’s phone dings from the spot he left it on the counter, and without Arsenio needing to ask, Desmond scoops it up.

“Fuck,” he growls, tightening his jaw.

My heart skips a beat. “What’s wrong? Are the others okay?” Because they had to step out for an hour to solidify plans. My heat subsides somewhat, though my desire lingers. I’ll feel normal again in a couple of days as my hormones level out.

Desmond doesn’t respond right away, pinching his chin in thought. “Jarvis’s army is gathering again. The water plant doesn’t provide water to his castle or his troops.”

Arsenio growls between my legs, the vibration shooting pleasure to my core. “Let me see.”

Desmond cautiously strolls closer, keeping his expression even. Arsenio’s rut controls him, his aggression unintentional since he’s been alone with me for a while. Holding out Arsenio’s phone, Desmond lowers himself to the chair beside me so he doesn’t tower over either of us.

Boss Bro: We have a problem. Starlight Horizon predominantly uses well water.

Boss Bro: I think we should go in for Jarvis ourselves. I don’t want to wait any longer.

Me: I’m out. Kinsey’s still vulnerable. She needs me.

Boss Bro: She is coming with us.

Me: Fuck no.

Boss Bro: That’s an order. It needs to be us to take care of this. He’s not only gathering his armies, but he also announced that any packs who stand with him will be guaranteed territory. He’s targeting the criminals and causing unrest. They’re taking shit to the street. Scaring civilians. If I could do this alone, I would. I don’t want Kinsey to go as much as you, but we have to.

Arsenio squeezes his phone so hard that I think it might break under his strength. His anger swells, heating me up even more. I grow anxious under his emotions and want nothing more than for him to relax.

“We’ll have an armored car. She won’t be exposed to any danger. I know you struggle to pull yourself from your rut but think about how worse it’ll be if we stay. The peak is over, and she’s coming down. Right, Kinsey?”

My stomach twists, thinking about leaving this spot, but I know he’s right.

I grab Arsenio’s face, pulling him up to kiss him, holding his lips to mine until he groans and slides his hand lower down my back, pulling me to the edge of my chair. “I know you want to hide away and just take care of me. I know you don’t want me involved in any of this, but we are a pack. If your brother needs you, then you will be by his side. And I will be by yours. You can’t ignore this sort of responsibility. We can’t jeopardize everything now. The other territories are complacent. This could end up being for nothing if we don’t act.”

“You should be my only responsibility.” Arsenio sucks my bottom lip between his teeth, kissing me again.

I giggle against his mouth. “I am, which is why you have to do this too. Now let’s hurry up and get ready. I don’t know how much longer I can go before I try to seduce you again.”

“All right, fine. Let’s fuck shit up, celebrate with a feast, and bang each other for the next year,” Arsenio mutters.

I smile against his mouth. “Nothing has sounded better.”

Arsenio motions to Desmond. “Get everything in order. I just want this to be done.”

“We have eyes on all influential packs. The narc cocktail is being pumped through the systems again. Jude is on-site, drugging the well water of his security. We paid off several of his betas, using his tactic of offering territory since he kept the offer for alphas only. The dumb shit. By tomorrow, we’ll have a bunch of docile sleepyheads. The last thing for us to do now is wait for Jarvis to take the bait.” Desmond stands outside the armored car, shielding his eyes from the sun. He goes over the maps on his phone, bringing up some satellite images.

“Do you think it’s really going to work?” I ask, rolling Enzo’s hoodie in my hands. Butterflies seemingly storm my stomach, twisting my nerves. I have to concentrate hard on keeping my mind off the residual ache between my legs. It helps that Arsenio overpacked, allowing me to bring whatever I wanted.

My back rests on a pillow in the corner of the bulletproof vehicle. Despite the metal surrounding me, it’s cozy and comforting in my makeshift nest. To my pleasant surprise, Wilder and Enzo added a couple of extra pillows and blankets for me.

Still, I’m antsy as fuck.
