“About Sperling?”
I nod.
He huffs out an angry breath and his hand drops away. No… just when it was getting somewhere interesting…
“What?” I ask, taking his hand and putting it back on my naked thigh. He leaves it there but the tenderness is gone.
“You’re still going to look for him, aren’t you?”
“It’s my job, Blake. I have to do my job. Whatever it takes.”
He shakes his head and exhales long and hard. “My mate is not going dragon hunting. I forbid it.”
I push up to my elbow and stare at him in disbelief. “You forbid it?”
“You’re my mate, Lily. Keeping you safe is my job. And I have to do my job. Whatever it takes.”
We stare at each other for a long tense moment and then I crack. I kiss him on his lips and he pulls me under him, about to take all of that pent-up frustration out on my body.
I moan as I feel his cock slide back inside me. He’s in so deep.
This man is so possessive. He thinks I belong to him and will do whatever he says.
I’m an independent woman, but I have to admit, I do like it. I enjoy feeling like I’m his. I love knowing he’ll do anything to keep me safe.
Our bodies start moving together in a sensual rhythm as he slides in and out. We’re already so in tune. Our movements so in sync like we’re operating on the same wavelength.
After we’re both crying out and holding each other tight as yet another orgasm flows through us, we’re back on the bed with our stomachs growling.
“Do you have any food in this place?” I ask as I look out the window at the stunning mountains in the distance. I can feel his hot warmth leaking out of me, but I just leave it, enjoying the feel of him down there.
“I have some elk stakes in the freezer,” he says as he lays gentle kisses on my right breast.
“I was thinking more like toast or a muffin. Anything breakfast related really.”
“Elk stakes aren’t breakfast food?”
“Not in my world,” I say with a laugh. “But I don’t have a huge polar bear living inside of me either.”
“The diner in town looks crappy, but they serve good breakfast,” he says as he runs his finger over my nipple, making it hard.
My stomach growls in response and we both laugh.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” he says as he sits up. I just stare at this beautiful man in awe. The gray in his hair is extra bright in the morning sun and the softness of his hazel eyes is completely disarming. I feel like I could stay in this bed forever and never get bored.
“You’re my girl, right?” he says in a soft voice.
I nod as my eyes roam over his round shoulder and down his muscular arm that always seems to get me hot. “Forever.”
He takes a deep breath as he watches me lying tangled in the sheets on his bed. “Then, no more dragon hunting.”
My eyes make their way back to his and I give him a look.
If he’s waiting for me to agree, he’s going to be waiting a long time. I’ve been chasing Sperling Kirk for so long and I’m not about to stop now when I’m this close.
“Fine,” he says with a huff of frustration. “Then, I’ll have to find him first and kill him.”
I shake my head as my stomach grumbles again.
“Okay, calm down,” I say with a chuckle as I get up. “Let’s get some food and coffee in us before we start arguing about who gets to slay the killer dragon.”
“Was that our first argument?” he asks with a grin.
“I think so.”
“I guess we better try our first make-up sex then.” He comes forward with a grin, but I roll off the bed and run away from him with a giggle.
“Put some coffee in me first and then you can put whatever else you want in me.”
He grins. “Deal.”
We walk by the pub on the way to the diner and there are four men already working on the wall that Blake was thrown through last night.
Blake introduces them as the other fireman of the town, Ethan, Carter, Rylan, and Westin, and he introduces me as his mate. He keeps calling me his girl and I like it. A lot.
The guys are thrilled to meet me. It gives me the impression that my mate really has been pining for me to arrive, which I love.
“I should help,” Blake says as he grabs a piece of drywall.
Rylan quickly gets up and grabs it out of his hands. “Not going to happen, Chief.”
“Yeah, Blake,” Ethan says with a smile. “You go enjoy your time with your mate. You waited long enough.”
Carter nods. “We got this.”
“Thanks, guys,” he says as his hand slips back into mine.
