“I can feel you tightening around me,” he growled. His fingers tightened on her thigh.
She nodded. “Yes, I’m close.”
His thumb continued, working her over like he’d done it a million times. Her toes curled tighter. Her thighs shook, and that electric feeling sparked higher. Timber picked up the speed, moving her legs into a different position.
He hit her exactly where she needed it, and her body spasmed. She orgasmed hard. “Timber …” she moaned his name as her body tightened around his cock.
Timber thrust deeper into her, and he pulsed inside her. He grunted and came to a stop.
She went limp onto the sheets and gasped for air. She’d hardly moved, yet she felt like she had run ten miles.
His hand cupped her chin, and he kissed her softly. He chuckled into her ear. “I feel better now.”
She smiled, happy to help. She wished they would be able to tell people, but she didn’t press the issue. At least, not for now.
SEVENTEEN
TIMBER
He stared at the door opposite of him, worried. The council had summoned him back, and he was sitting outside in the hallway. He felt like a child about to get a lecture.
His stomach twisted, and his leg wouldn't stop bouncing. He tried pacing, but then he felt he looked guilty. So, he sat.
He swallowed and blew out a heavy sigh as he leaned back.
The door opened, and a small gal poked her head out. She locked her eyes on him as she spoke. "They will see you now."
He pulled himself up and followed her into the meeting room. The council all sat behind a table, hands crossed, looking at him with serious expressions. The aura in the room was intense.
He stood on the other end and waited as the door shut, leaving him inside with them. Devlen was the one to clear his throat first.
"We have called you here because we caught wind that you have a human living inside your house. Is that true?"
He watched as all eyes narrowed on him. He felt they were ready to pounce, but he wasn't going to allow it. They could assume, but they didn’t know the truth.
Remain calm. You don't have to tell them anything.
He squared his back and tilted his head at them. "That is correct."
River, another council member, narrowed her eyes. "So, you admit that you have a woman, a human woman, living in your house? After we just told you that you could not mate with a human?"
He wanted to growl, his bear trying to break out, but he held his anger down and frowned at them. "I have a human nanny. Lyra is my daughter's nanny."
They didn't seem to believe him, and he sighed, waving a hand.
"Serenity died if you have forgotten, and I have a newborn baby that needs attention. Much more attention than I can give her, mind you. So, I hired a nanny."
"You're saying that this nanny that is living in your house hasn't joined you in bed? That's what you're saying? You haven't slept with her?" Devlen asked, narrowing his eyes. He wanted him to admit that he'd mated with Lyra, but he wasn't going to.
"No," he lied, shaking his head. "She is just my nanny. She's what Marigold needs right now. I need an extra set of hands around the house."
Devlen scoffed and shook his head. He placed his hand on the table, his words coming out harshly. "I don't believe you. You're lying. She isn't just your nanny, and we are all watching. I'd be careful, Timber, because all eyes are on you now."
He swallowed, feeling his anxiety spike. He looked at each of them and wanted to point out each of their flaws. But he didn't.
He made a face and scoffed himself. He had to act the part if he wanted them to get off his back. He didn't need them sniffing around his house.
"She is just a nanny for my daughter. I'm not the type of guy to screw the help. That's a low blow even for you to insinuate here, Devlen. Unless you're going to come over and change my daughter's dirty diapers, I would appreciate it if you let me choose who to watch my child."
