“How much sway do you have over Mason?” I ask wryly. “Because I need to try and change his mind about something, and I don’t know how easy that will be.”
“Hmm, yeah, you might have a challenge on your hands there,” he muses playfully, teasing me in a way that makes the butterflies flap violently in my stomach. “I have known Mason for a long time, and he can be a little stubborn.”
I roll my eyes. “Yeah, I’ve gotten a glimpse of that. I haven’t known him anywhere near as long as you, but I’ve seen that side of him.”
Sledge leans on the table and brings his face a little closer to mine. My heart begins pounding in my throat as I can feel his breath tickling my lips. Is he about to kiss me? My God, I really want him to lean in and kiss me.
“If anyone will be able to turn his head, though, it’s you, because Mason is pretty crazy about you. So much so that I barely even recognize who he’s become.”
Is this accusatory? What the hell does he mean by this? I don’t know how to take it. “I don’t know about that. He seems pretty mad at me at the moment.”
“Mad because he’s crazy about you, trust me. I have known Mason forever, like I said, and he hasn’t ever been like this over a woman before. What is it about you that makes him so crazy, huh? That’s what has me really intrigued…”
I don’t know what I’m doing. Or more accurately, I know this is something I shouldn’t be doing, but I’m throwing caution to the wind anyway. That naughty side of me has come flying out, and I can’t control myself any longer. I cup his cheek in my hand and press my lips to his.
Holy shit. Sparks fly. There’s no other way to describe what happens between us. It’s sizzling and exciting, absolutely delicious. I had a feeling that me and Sledge would have a connection, but I didn’t know it would be this intense.
I can’t stop this, and more importantly, right now, I don’t want to. Primal instinct seems to kick in for Sledge, and he forgets that we shouldn’t be kissing either. He leans in closer and starts running his curious hands all over my body. He explores me, running his fingers up and down my hips, my curves, my breasts… holy fuck, the way his thumbs brush over my nipples sets my whole body on fire. Flames blowtorch right through me. I lose the ability to think rationally. I can’t do anything but lean into him and allow him to hold me for a while.
Oh wow…his fingers start to tug at the waistband of my leggings. I breathe in, giving him the room to slide his hands inside my lacy panties. There’s wet heat pooling already, which I’m sure he can sense by my whole body shuddering with need and desire.
“Fuck,” I finally explode as he touches where I need him to. My clit blazes with joy, with passion as Sledge expertly touches it. I don’t know how he manages to know my body so well, but fuck, his movements all over my hypersensitive nub is expert. It’s perfect. “Holy shit, Sledge.” I grip the back of his hair and kiss him hard, invading his mouth with my tongue. “I need you. I want you, don’t stop…”
I toss my head back and let out a squeal of desire as my toes curl, my body tenses, and I find myself at the peak of the mountain, about to fall. I can’t even see straight, I’m completely drowning in pleasure, and I haven’t even fallen yet…
But it doesn’t take me long. Sledge has all the power over me, and the way he’s fucking me with his fingers is too much for my body to handle. I can’t savor the pleasure and cling onto this moment, however much I want to. He’s just too much for me, so I fall hard and fast. I tumble into pleasure. I lose myself in the brisk orgasm as it flushes my whole body and knocks me off kilter completely. Fucking hell, Sledge is just wonderful. He makes my whole body scream with passion. He makes me want so much more…
Shit, neither of us even think about Mason until the heat surrounding us starts to subside a little. But as his face seems to fill the space between us, me and Sledge part. We can’t be caught this close to one another. That will only make things so much worse. I mean, I’ve already fooled around with Cain and Adam… now Sledge too. What the hell is wrong with me? Why can’t I control myself around these men? I’ve never acted this way, but this pack is too much. It’s driving me wild. It’s driving me insane, actually. Does Sledge understand?
“Fuck, I think I can hear him.” Sledge turns a little red as the reality of this situation washes over him. We were almost caught out in a position that would have caused us both to have our heads ripped off. “I will just go and let him know that you’re here.”
He backs out of the room, but gives me one last lingering look before he goes. The way my heart beats just for Sledge is intense. I don’t think I can ever think of another man again while he’s on my mind… well, until I hear Mason’s voice’s chocolatey smooth tones.
“Okay, so she’s here now? In there? Right, I will see her now.”
Was that an element of excitement? I have a feeling that Mason isn’t quite so pissed off with me as he was the other day and that perhaps we can have a proper talk here.
“Clara, you really are here,” Mason declares in a light tone. “I didn’t know if you would ever come back. It’s good though, isn’t it? Because we left so many things up in the air. We need to talk about us and where we’ll go moving forward.”
“Us?” I’m taken aback. Didn’t I make myself clear last time?
“Well, yes, because like I’ve said to you before, you belong to me. You’re mine. I’ve claimed you as my mate and we can’t turn our backs on that.”
I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Does he have to act this waynow? I didn’t come to see if he would try and win me back or anything like that. I certainly don’t want to talk aboutusbecause that might mean I have to talk about our baby. Yeah, I’m definitely not ready for it.
“Okay, well, I’m here to talk about the pack,” I remind him. “I’m here to discuss what we do withthatmoving forward. Because I’m not your enemy, but I’m not going to be dragged into your pack either. We need to find a way to co-exist.”
Mason reaches out and takes my hand in his. He laces his fingers through mine, pulling me a little closer to him. I don’t take my eyes off of his, though, because I want him to communicate with me, one way or another. I need him to let me know how he’s doing, and what he thinks about my plan for us to just live in the same area without the constant need for battle. He doesn’t tell me anything, though. Instead, he leans in and crashes his lips to mine. He kisses me, making me crumble, making it hard for me to focus on what I really need to do here. I lean into him and allow him to deepen the kiss, forgetting what happened with Sledge. Mason has consumed all of me, and I want him to hold me close, to adore me all night long. I want him to take me and make me feel good.
But I have to pull back. I can’t keep this up. Not when we need to come to some kind of treaty agreement.
“Mason, I can’t do this. I can’t keep doing this. Not when it’s betraying my pack.” His hands still hang loosely in mine. I don’t want to let them go but I know I have to. “We can’t see one another again until we agree to live alongside one another. That’s the way things have to be.”
He nods in agreement. “Fine, I will see what can be done. But only for you, Clara.”
