Chapter 8

Drake

“What are you plotting?” he asked his suspiciously quiet mate. A week had passed, and she was growing more frustrated by the day.

She spent almost all day attached to one device or another, muttering, cursing, and generally getting annoyed. He laughed as she twitched her nose adorably when something was particularly difficult. Her fingers would fall harder as she tapped away furiously.

Drake was fed up with sitting around waiting for answers. He was used to hunting down enemies and getting physical but now, he was stuck twiddling his thumbs. He needed to do something.

“I’m not plotting anything,” she said with an air of innocence he didn’t believe for a minute. His beast growled its approval of her sneakiness. The sound rumbled out of his throat, and she grinned unrepentantly. He leaned over her chair and breathed in her scent. A special blend of running naked through the forest with tropical-scented flowers.

“Yes, you are,” he accused and stroked his finger over the silky skin between her shoulders. “You get tight with anticipation.” He moved his hand down to her middle “Your muscles tense.” He felt them tighten under his hand and hid his smile in her hair as he trailed lower.

He could hear her breathing speed up and his fingers stopped just short of her zipper. She growled when he didn’t go any lower and he hid his amusement as he saw her frown. He quickly whipped his hand up and ran his finger over the crease between her eyes. “And you always seem to have this line between your eyes.”

He stepped back just in time to miss the pen she threw at him. He chuckled at her, and she flicked her tongue out.

He couldn’t stop himself from capturing her mouth in a rough kiss and watching her eyes widen. Then she spun off the chair and growled, her mouth still tangling with hers. She weaved her arms around his neck and jumped into his arms. He caught her and growled his approval. His hand dug into her hair, and he turned her head to deepen the kiss.

“You’re trying to distract me,” he muttered.

“No!” She feigned shock before kissing him again. Licking and biting him playfully with a wicked twinkle in her eye.

Tempting minx!

“What have you been up to?” he asked between kisses. She bit at his lip, and he almost took her there and then. Her golden eyes were full of desire. Her eyes begged him to let it go and his beast was demanding he throw her down and take her now. But he wanted to know what she was trying to hide. He didn’t want his mate keeping things from him, he had enough hidden from him by being stuck in cages and cells.

“Tell me, what is it that you’re keeping from me, little one?”

“I told you I’m not keeping anything from you.”

“Are you sure about that?” he asked, and his hands held her tighter.

“Yes, I’ve never lied to you before. I won’t start now,” she sighed and pulled away.
