I pulled her closer to me, one hand moving around to cup the weight of her breast. When I feathered my thumb over her nipple, she moaned. And the puppy snarled. Right before she bit my arm.
“Fuckin’ little shit,” I muttered before turning my attention to the puppy. She looked like she was sizing me up, trying to figure out where my weak spot was so she could bite the shit out of me again. This time with feeling. Blossom giggled, and the puppy’s gaze went to her. Blossom reached out and scratched the dog on the side of her face.
“It’s OK, Sparkle. I think we might have finally gotten it through his thick skull that he’s mine.”
That surprised me so much I barked out a laugh. “I’m yours, huh?”
“Oh, yeah. You didn’t know?” Her eyes twinkled in amusement, but I thought there might have been a hint of vulnerability in them as well.
“Kinda figured it out a while ago. Just didn’t want to admit it.”
Blossom picked up Sparkle -- I was never living that name down with my brothers -- and stood. She looked down at me. “I need to take Sparkle back to my room. She’s got a bed and a crate there.”
I stood, smiling down at her. “Can I come with you?”
She bit her lip looking a little shy. “Do you want to?”
“Baby, there’s no place else I’d rather be than with you.”
“Will you kiss me some more?”
“Oh, yeah, Scooter. I’ll kiss you. How’re your feet? You were having trouble earlier.”
“Not going to lie. They hurt. If I move slowly and am careful how I place them, it’s not so bad.”
“Right. Not good enough.” I scooped her up and headed to the door. She opened it for me, and we headed to her room.
Once inside, I set her on her feet long enough for her to put Sparkle in her crate with some food and fresh water. The little hellion looked at me and growled, like it was my fault she was now in jail, but curled up in her nest of blankets and closed her eyes. This was where I’d found her earlier when I’d tried to sell her.
“Did I interrupt your nap earlier?” I murmured beside her ear as I carried her into the bedroom.
“I wasn’t really asleep. Just dozing. I lay down because my feet were hurting.”
I frowned. “They not healing like they should?”
“Stitches said they’d take longer to heal than the rest of me because of the nerve damage he suspected happened. Besides, my feet have to bear all my weight. It’s all or nothing.”
“Then you’ll use those scooters until he says otherwise.”
“I’ve been using them.”
I laid her down on the bed before whipping my shirt off. Her gaze ate me up. The woman actually licked her lips like she wanted to eat me up.
“Is this really happening?” Her voice was quiet, like she was talking to herself.
“It is unless you say no.”
“Well, I ain’t sayin’ no.” She reached for me, and I had to chuckle.
“Eager little thing.” I winked at her. “I like it.”
She rolled her eyes. “Well, don’t flatter yourself. You’re still on my shit list for trying to take Sparkle.” Yeah, there was still hurt in her eyes. One more thing for me to make amends for.
“I swear to you on my life, Blossom. I’ll never try to separate you and that dog again.” I planted a knee on the bed and moved over her. Her eyes widened, and her hands landed on my chest to slide up to my shoulders. I grinned at her. “But I ain’t callin’ her Sparkle.”
With a tilt of her chin, she narrowed her eyes. “Fuck with me much, and I’ll start calling Dog Glitter.”
I’d be lying if I tried to tell myself her defiance didn’t turn me the fuck on. “Keep that up, baby, and this’ll be over real quick. You’ve got me hard as a motherfucker as it is.”
The smile she graced me with was equal parts hunger and nervousness. “You promise this is what you want?”
“I don’t do anything I don’t want to do, Blossom. There are plenty of men here ready to take on this role for you. Ready and eager. Thought I was gonna have to kill a couple of them earlier, assuming they didn’t kill me first. If I didn’t want you as mine, I’d give you to someone I knew’d take care of you.” I shook my head. “But you’re mine, little girl. I don’t share, and I ain’t lettin’ you go.”
“OK.” She nodded eagerly, then slid her arms around my neck and brought me to her for a kiss.
I let my body weight press her into the mattress. Her knees were bent on either side of my hips. When I settled myself between them, rocking side to side in order to put the ridge of my cock over her clit, her eyes got wide.
