She bent her head towards me languishingly, like I was a puppet master, and she was hooked to my strings. Yes. Come to me, my cupcake. Give in to the dark side.
Just as my lips hovered over hers, about to take a taste of heaven, she shoved me and backed away with wide, accusing eyes and a gaping mouth as she whispered, “Sex trap.” She motioned to my whole body as she said it again. “Sex mother-fucking-trap.” She pointed at the door as she moved as far away from me as she could, her voice turning to steel as she stood straight. “Nope, go. Cake first, sex later.”
I made a step towards her, mouth open to try and convince her she would make the best cake if she was a little more filled with my cream, but she cut me off. “No, Duce.” Uh oh, she called me by my name. “Let me finish this. I want to get it perfect.”
I stopped, stuck my hands into my jeans, and backed off. “Okay, Cupcake, but know that I'm coming for you after that damn cake is done.” My warning was made loud and clear.
She winked at me. “I'm counting on it.”
I left the room, determined to get rid of this half-boner I was sporting since I would need it for when I came back. I went to the door, and as soon as I opened it, I heard Emma yelling at someone.Whelp, look at that, it's instantly gone.
I rolled my eyes as Dino drove through a parking lot like he was freaking off-roading. He was driving so crazy that even Bricks was holding on to the top of the vehicle to stop from being thrown about. Ever since that fight with the Fangers, Dino has pretty much claimed the Humvee as his. We tried to get Cupcake to take it back, telling her he was a danger to society, but she would just laugh and tell us he was safe in the vehicle. It was more our point that others weren't safe, but she would smile and give Dino a kiss on the forehead.
Those two were like sticks of dynamite together. They were always either loving up on each other, or viciously fighting, and then loving up on each other. It was toxic in the best of ways, but I think that was what made us all a great unit able to help each other. I’ve learned over the past year that as individuals, we are all a little fucked up.
Anger, self-esteem, self-worth, and self-sabotage were some of the traits we had all been dealing with on the inside. When it was just us guys, we would just ignore it, or say that's life and keep going, but now, with Celine in our life, we wanted to do better. Be better. It was a work in progress, and hopefully, we would get there someday, but I was in no rush. I was enjoying the journey getting there.
Even with Bricks bouncing around, he was able to sign,Do you think she will get mad at us for going behind her back like this?
I needed to keep Dino’s eyes on the road, so I answered first. “No. I don't think so. I think she will definitely be surprised, though.” We had all planned to take Celine on a week-long trip to a private island for a vacation. We all asked Glenn, who said it was a long time coming and approved it. He was going to break it to her today at a party, so she couldn’t say no. That woman could be a workaholic if you let her.
Bricks nodded as he signed.I just don't want her to be mad, feeling like we are messing with her work.
Dino decided to pipe up. “I think it's more Glenn fucking with her work than us. All we did was ask.” His head turned to both of us as his eyes narrowed. “And that's how we are going to phrase it to her. Got it?” I guess he was a little worried, too, but I wasn't.
We had a little bit of a spat a while back when we started to do work for Glenn. After Celine moved in with us, it was a bit of a transition to have her still doing her work. She would leave at a moment’s notice and not come back for days sometimes, and it would freak us the fuck out, so she gave us Glenn’s number just in case. Well, that turned into a calling fiasco with Glenn, as he was now fielding calls and texts from five worried mates. So, we came up with a plan.
She would be able to take one of us, only one, on each job. She even made a schedule, and we rotated who got to go with her. She sold it to Glenn that he was getting double the manpower for the price, and he agreed, but I think he was just glad to get us off his back.
Then on one of her working trips with Rabid, the guy they needed to kill got away, but they saved a brother and sister from his sadistic clutches. They needed somewhere to stay while Glenn and Ken tried to find their family, and Rabid immediately volunteered the Moon Raiders compound. It was safely guarded, tucked away, and we had the reputation to keep others away. Especially after that fight with the Fangers, no one messed with us.
Glenn agreed, and we took care of the two teens for a couple of weeks until they were reunited with their parents. Rabid then told Glenn that if that ever happened again, we would be available as a kind of safe house for these cases, for a hefty fee, of course. It was funny to think that we were killing people and saving people at the same time, but that sounded like us.
I was jerked forward as Dino parked. “All right. Ice run complete.”
As soon as Dino got out, Bricks signed to me,We made it alive. I think we need to see if Gears can put some kind of system on here to shut it down when he gets out of control.
I reached forward, patting his shoulder. “Yes. Yes, we do.”
I got out of the Humvee, leaving Dino and Bricks to fill the ice tub because Cupcake should’ve been done with the cake by now, and I wanted some of that icing.White cream is my favorite.
I chuckled at my own joke as I walked through the door, and I saw my little cupcake about to head up the stairs to her room.
After she moved in, we quickly learned that she was going to need her own room. All of us knew that hers would need to be the biggest since we were going to spend most of our time in that room. I only went to my room if I needed clothes, or if her shower was taken and I couldn't wait. This meant that we needed to redesign the set up.
We turned the home gym into Gears' new room, and then knocked out the loft and expanded it to be its own wide open second floor. This room fit all of us more than comfortably after we had that custom double king bed made and put in before we enclosed the roof.
I quickly came up behind her, tucking my chin into her neck as I cooed, “So, can I get a little bit of that cream now?”
I felt her sigh into me, her hand running up my thigh as she replied in a husky voice, “Of course, birthday boy.”
I quickly turned her around. Her smile at seeing me made my heart stop. I thought I would eventually get used to it, but I wasn’t. My mate's smile always stopped my breath and made me feel like I was coming back to life. I could feel my wolf whining in my head, wanting me to rut into her as fast as possible. He was always a little bit selfish like that, but that's why he had me.
I ran my hands down her sides, catching the button on her pants and popping it open, and I knelt down, sliding them down those deliciously soft thighs. She let her hand comb through my hair like I liked, looking up at her like the goddess divine she was.
I placed my lips right on the front of her thigh, my excitement heightening as she let out a small inhale. On my knees, I walked her backwards, pulling her hand down to sit on the steps. “Pumpkin, we can go up to the room if….”
I cut her off as I slid my hand up her thigh and cupped her naked mound. “Nope. I want you here and now. I want you on full display for me…” I gave her a saucy grin as I moved my face closer, laying a few kisses on the inside of her thigh. “And if anyone wants to join us after I’ve had my fill of your delectable cream, I wouldn't stop them. Sharing on your birthday is the best thing for friends to do.”
