Chapter 139
“What if I told you I wouldn’t mind being thrown against the truck?” I say with as innocent a smile as I can muster, glancing coyly over my shoulder.
He lets out a low, throaty growl. “Just get in the car already. It’s going to be tough enough to focus on driving without that image stuck in my head.”
I lean forward across the center console, my voice soft and teasing. “Maybe I could help you get rid of that problem.” I reach for him, fully aware of where this playful banter is headed.
True to form, he grabs my wrist firmly and leans in close, his voice dropping to a low, intense whisper. “I told you before—when I make you come for the first time, it won’t be from your hand or that cheeky little mouth. I’ll be buried so deep inside that sweet little body of yours, staring into those icy blue eyes, you’ll forget your own name.” He gives me a slow, deliberate smile that sends a shiver down my spine. “Now, I’m both hungry and horny. How about we grab some food so I can calm the hell down before dealing with those teenage hornballs at work?”
“You’d fit right in with them at least,” I tease, and before I can react, he snatches my knee with lightning speed, squeezing it hard enough to make me squeal. Then he starts tickling me relentlessly until I finally give in. “Okay! Okay! Yes, we can go!”
We pull into the packhouse parking area, and an omega promptly meets us to take the car to the vast garage tucked off to one side. As we step inside through the front door, a wave of nerves washes over me. It’s not the people that make me uneasy—it’s the constant alertness, the feeling that Amy might be lurking nearby. I haven’t seen her since that tense day in Ryker’s office, but I know she’s probably still around, waiting for her chance to corner him. Breakfast has always been her time to try and trap him, and so far, everything has been going too smoothly. I’m bracing myself for the inevitable.
Ryker must sense my hesitation because he reaches over and takes my hand, intertwining our fingers. This is the first time he’s held my hand in public. I glance down at our hands, at the simple but intimate gesture, then back up into his eyes. He’s watching me closely, waiting to see if I’m okay with this. I can tell he’s uncertain, so I squeeze his hand tighter, not wanting him to pull away. The electric thrill that runs through me when our skin touches has become something I crave. He smiles gently and leads us forward.
“Whoa! Kennedy, does our growly alpha know you’re holding hands and showing off that big smile?” Danny teases, clapping Ryker on the shoulder.
