Bishop strides ahead into the lobby. Dutch and Reese shadow me, instinctively positioning to shield our mate.
Sol burrows into my shoulder, either enjoying her act or desperate to hide. Her ponytail bumps the corner of my mouth.
A leftover hint of lemon cake—no more than a crumb—zaps my lungs before burning off.
Fuck.
When it’s her, a crumb does damage.
I step sideways, trying to make room for the hardening cock and fast-swelling knot that are ready to stake my claim.
Tell me that’s not real.
Sol has to feel what she does to me.
Breathing through her teeth, a hair away from my waiting throat, she unconsciously teases me with a bite she’s not ready to give.
My pajama pants strain.
Picked the wrong day to go commando.
As we pass the front desk, my pheromones rage, pumping out possession, lust, and a rumbling warning. I wouldn’t choke them down if I could.
Everyone needs to know.
Don’t think thoughts about my mate.
Bishop’s staff trains on gun battles and bioweapons. They don’t flinch for a foyer full of mobsters. The desk manager nods as her straitlaced CEO struts past in a pastel robe.
“It suits you,” I murmur.
“Mention it one more time.” He tightens his belt, then smooths his hair, the quaver in his fingers matching the dangerous thrum in his tone.
Ah, shit.
I’m not the only one playing cool.
I shift Solly’s weight, then pull Bish back. “I’ll take point.”
Stepping forward allows me the pleasure of watching Kairo react.
Of all the seats in the bougie lobby, my father chose the sofa beneath the grand chandelier. Legs crossed, fingers locked over the knee of his tailored suit, and surrounded by high-end lackeys, he conveys absolute power.
Until he spots me and the girl slung around my chest.
He flashes to his feet, straining blood vessels and swinging dominance like a mace. “Hand her over. Then we’ll discuss your punishment.”
Kairo’s bark used to put me on the floor.
It was so heavy, that first time.
Apologize!
His pressure dropped me to my knees in front of my entire class. No matter how I fought, pulling muscles to stand, holding my breath to swallow the lies he forced out of my mouth, I was powerless to resist his alpha command.
I’m sorry. I cheated. Jericho should’ve ranked first.
If he could make me spew that horseshit, he could make me do anything. I had to live small to protect me and mine.
