“You better get that or he’ll be interrupting us all night,” he says.
“I’ll be one second.”
I rush over to my purse and fish it out. “Hello.”
“Burks,” he shouts into the line as I wander into Blake’s bedroom and close the door. “Where have you been?”
“I took a day off.”
There’s silence. I grin as I picture what his utterly confused face looks like right now.
“You? A day off? Are you okay?”
“I’m good. Actually, I’m really good.”
“Are you drunk, Burks?!”
I giggle into the phone. “A little bit.”
“Well, sober up,” he barks. “We got a tip through the network that Reginald Kirk is in the area.”
“He’s in the area, but he’s no longer a threat.”
“I don’t understand.”
“He’s dead.”
“What?!”
“The local law enforcement has taken over. He was found on a mountaintop.”
“He’s dead?”
“All three of the Kirk brothers are.”
I tell him a story I concocted that the three Kirk brothers had a falling out and got at each other’s throats. I don’t want Blake or any of my new friends’ names involved in any of this. He’s not the only one who’s protective of his mate.
“That’s great, Burks,” he says, sounding relieved. “Get on a plane first thing tomorrow morning and come in for your debriefing.”
“Actually, I’m going to stay here for a bit. Take some time off.”
More silence.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Very okay,” I tell him with a smile on my face. “I’ll call tomorrow and do my debriefing over the phone and then I’m taking a few weeks off.”
“A few weeks?!”
“I have a lot of vacation saved up,” I say with a grin. “And I’m using it. And then I’m going to be seeking a transfer.”
“To where?” Now, he just sounds exasperated.
“To Montana.”
He sighs. “It’s too late to deal with this shit. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
I grin as he hangs up. I can’t wait to start my new life and it starts now.
Blake is sitting on his couch, watching me closely as I walk back into the room.
“Are we going to Miami tomorrow?” he asks.
“We?”
“I’ll go wherever you go, Lily. You want to live in Hawaii? I’ll pack my grass skirt. You choose Japan? I’ll learn how to use chopsticks. You want to live in the ocean? I’ll learn to speak fish.”
I laugh as I move on top of him, straddling his strong body.
“What if I want to stay right here?” I ask as I hover my lips over his.
His hands slide onto my hips, but he’s not gripping me tightly like he normally does. He seems hesitant and unsure, like if he touches me, I might run away or take back what I just said.
“If you wanted to stay right here,” he says with a hard swallow, “then I’d be the happiest man in the world.”
“I like seeing you happy,” I say as I press my lips to his. His hands tighten around me and my pussy clenches in response. “I think I’ll stay.”
“Good,” he says with a grin. “Because I wasn’t about to let you leave.”
“I heard the girls talking about a mark,” I say as I pull up his shirt. “Is that like an engagement ring or something?”
“It’s like a permanent ring,” he says as he lifts up his arms so I can pull his shirt off.
Fuck, this man’s body is so deliciously hot.
He starts to undress me as I get a hint of disappointment. I guess he’s not ready for that kind of commitment with me. Maybe I’ve been misreading his intentions.
My shirt comes off and then my bra. We start working on each other’s pants and I just have to ask.
“Does that come later with shifters?” I ask. “Are you not ready for that?”
“I was ready to make you mine the second I saw you,” he says as he pulls out my belt with a snap. He tosses it onto the floor and then flicks open the button on my jeans. “I was waiting. For you.”
I stand off him and pull down my pants and underwear, exposing everything to this powerful man. “I don’t want you to wait any longer. I want to be yours in every way possible.”
He slides down his pants and boxer briefs as well and then grabs his thick hard cock that’s standing straight up between us.
“Come here,” he growls as he reaches for me with his free hand.
I straddle him once again and sink my wet pussy down onto his big dick. We both moan as he fills me up and stretches me out.
“It’s always a shock how good it feels,” I whisper as I rock my hips from side to side.
His hands move onto my ass and he starts guiding me up and down his pole, making a wet mess where we’re joined.
A low rumbling growl fills the room and his body begins to swell up in size. His arms and chest balloon and his shoulders grow twice their normal size.
