She was tiny—no more than five feet tall. At six foot four, I towered over her, and it made me want to scoop her up into my arms and carry her around. Feelings of possession welled up inside me, along with my protective instincts.
The woman in front of me had to be Karina. She resembled her sister, Kiara, but this girl was even more stunning. She looked up at me with big deep-blue eyes, and her high cheekbones had a dusting of pink. Her rosebud mouth inspired fantasies of those lips wrapped around my cock.
Her long golden-blond hair was piled on top of her head, showing off her slender neck and plump cleavage because she was wearing a sweater that fell casually off one shoulder. That drew my eyes to a spectacular pair of tits that should have seemed too big for her frame but somehow looked natural with the rest of her alluring curves. Her body was thick and sexy as hell. Perfect for fucking hard and having babies.
What the fuck? I had no idea where that thought had come from, but once it was there, my cock—which had jumped to attention the second I saw her—turned rock hard and pressed against my jeans like it was trying to break free to reach my girl’s pussy. I was fully on board with that but knew it wasn’t the time to act on those instincts.
“Hi,” she said softly, her lips curving into a flirty smile.
“Hey,” I responded, my tone gruffer than I’d intended. I struggled to control the lust threatening to consume me.
Her expression faltered, and I felt guilty for being such an asshole. However, what happened next wasn’t going to improve her opinion of me, which only increased my irritation.
“You Karina?”
She cocked her head to the side and studied me with an expression that had turned wary. “Yes.”
“Cash.” I tilted my head toward Grey. “Grey.”
Her brow furrowed a little, and my fingers itched to smooth it out, which shocked me because it seemed like something a mushy sap would do.
I shook the impulse off and said, “We’re Silver Saints.”
Karina’s whole body stiffened, and anger took over her features. The fire in her eyes was hot as hell, and for the first time, I was grateful for the cold because it kept my erection from getting out of control and scaring the shit out of her.
“I’m not going with you,” she snapped.
I forced back a grin at her display of fire. “It’s cold as fuck out here, sunshine. How about we talk inside?”
“We can talk here,” she insisted, raising her chin to a stubborn angle.
She wasn’t able to hide her shivers, though, so I grabbed her around the waist, ignoring her gasp, and lifted her out of our way so we could walk into the cabin.
She huffed and slammed the door, clearly annoyed. Then she marched past me into a large, open space with three comfy-looking couches, blankets and pillows strewed about. A big stone fireplace glowed from the ashes of a recent flame.
Karina flopped onto one of the couches and crossed her arms under her tits, emphasizing the generous globes. I had to fight not to let her perfect breasts captivate my attention. “Fine.”
I ambled to where she’d taken a seat and lowered myself down less than a foot away from her. “How long will it take you to pack up?” I asked.
Her eyes narrowed, and she shook her head. “I’m not going anywhere until I get some questions answered.”
I admired her straightforward attitude and wanted to tell her anything she asked. But Mac had been clear that I should get in and get out as quickly as possible. And I wasn’t sure just how much the prez would share with her. “I promise, you’ll get your questions answered when we get home.” Some of them.
“Why not now?”
“Because we need to grab your shit and get you to safety as fast as possible.” I expected her to jump up and run to get her stuff, but she didn’t move a muscle.
“Do you know my sister?”
“Yes.” That wasn’t revealing much.
“Why are you guys protecting her?”
“That conversation can wait,” I sighed. I would leave that up to Knight and Kiara. Karina deserved to learn about her sister directly from the source. “Go get your shit together so we can get out of here.”
“I want answers now,” she argued, unfolding her arms and jumping to her feet. “And I’m not going anywhere until I get some!”
I stood, straightening to my full height so I towered over her. My voice was hard and unyielding when I responded. “That wasn’t a request, Karina.”
We stared each other down for several minutes until she finally threw her hands in the air and exclaimed in frustration. Then she spun on her heel and stomped across the living space and into a bedroom, then slammed the door shut behind her. I grunted in annoyance when I heard the click of the lock.
