Her sparkling green eyes studied him. “That wasn’t the question, Larsinc.” She tipped her head forward and kissed him, her tongue sliding slowly into his mouth. She tasted of sweet juice and peppery herbs, and the feel of her breasts squashed against his chest set fire to his desire.
“Your beard tickles,” she whispered.
“Want to feel it tickle your thighs while my mouth sucks on your pussy?”
She shuddered. “So tempting,” she whispered with flushed cheeks, not making eye contact. “But I can’t. If I know those girls, as soon as they get back to school, they’ll alert someone that I’m gone and then security will be dispatched.”
“So the kiss and rubbing your body against mine was a tease?” he asked mildly.
“The security team is authorized to shoot and kill anyone who takes a student from the school. And they might not take your word for it that I came here of my own accord.”
“I’m sure they won’t. Since I’m sure you’ll be quick to deny it,” he said dryly, then pinched her ass. “Just remember what happens to you when you try to get me killed.”
She exhaled a puff of breath. “I remember that very well. Now let me up and take me to the glider platform.”
He held on for several beats longer before reluctantly letting her go.
“If you ever come to see me again as a tease, I won’t let you leave.”
“No need to worry about that. If I have my way, we’ll never see each other again.”
The barbed words stung, as she meant them to. “Is that so?”
“It is.”
“A good thing for me then that it’s not up to you.”
She glared at him, but he didn’t believe her to be truly angry. No one had forced her to come to the tavern. She’d come to see him of her own free will, and not as a tease as she pretended. She’d clearly come to supervise the interaction between him and the other women. And there could only be one reason for that. Jealousy.
Inwardly, he smiled. Good, let her feel possessive of him. Because he planned to be possessive of her too.
