“Sutton Woods?”
I turned my head and met the gaze of the fire chief. He was a tall, burly man whose face was covered in a light sheen of sweat.
“Yes, I’m Sutton,” I said.
“I’m so sorry we couldn’t save your home.”
I nodded.
“We’ll find out in a few days what caused the fire. Do you have anyone you can stay with?” He looked from me to Carla.
Carla opened her mouth to reply, but suddenly a growly voice behind me said, “She’ll stay with me.”
I looked over my shoulder at Viper. For such a huge man, I hadn’t even heard him approach.
I didn’t care for his complete domination of the situation, but his expression said not to put up a fuss.
I glanced at the fire chief. “I’ll stay with him.”
The fire chief surveyed Viper.
“He’s my boyfriend,” I said with a tight smile. “He’s madly in love with me, you know. He’s trying to lock my ass down, but I’m a wild stallion. I don’t want to be tamed.”
“Ah, right.” The fire chief appeared uncomfortable. “Your friend gave me your contact number. I’ll be in touch.” He walked away, leaving me with Viper and Carla.
“Stallions are male,” Viper pointed out.
I shrugged. “It got the point across, didn’t it? Thanks for the offer, but I’ll stay with Carla.”
“I wasn’t offering,” Viper said. “I was telling. Let’s go.”
I placed my hands on my hips and glared up at him. “You’re not the boss of me.”
He peered down. “You need a boss.”
“Do not.”
“Fuck this shit,” Viper growled. He picked me up and literally hauled me over his shoulder.
“Hey,” I protested as I squirmed. “Put me down, beast. Everyone’s watching.”
His hand settled on the meaty part of my thigh, just below my ass. “Then I suggest you sell that we’re in relationship.”
I lifted myself up just enough to look at Carla.
She was grinning. “Have fun, Sutton. You deserve it.”
“There will be no having of the fun,” I snapped. “Viper. Put me down, or I’ll…”
“You’ll what?” He squeezed my thigh. “Make a scene?”
“You’re already making a scene,” I hissed.
“Hush, or I’ll spank your ass. Though I think you might like that.”
I glared at his back.
When we got to his bike, he set me down and handed me a helmet. “Don’t test me.”
