“Fine, for now we’ll hold, but we’re going to be there. No way in fuck are we letting you alone with that witch,” Heat grunts, letting out a heavy breath. “Let’s get the fuck ready.”
I nod and head in search of my woman. I’m ready to get her, and the one thing I have in my room that could help us with not just finding information, but also in appeasing my mother enough to not interfere in the challenge tomorrow at noon.
SIXTEEN
CARINA
This whole situationhas me more confused than ever. I don’t know what to think of this challenge.
Okay, so that’s a lie I’m telling myself. I know what I’m feeling about it. I’m freaked the fuck out. There’s no way to put it. I don’t want anything to happen to Pyro, and from what they’ve all told me so far, it’s a possibility my man is hurt or worse, killed because of this stupid challenge that he has to face.
The idea of him being killed scares the dickens out of me more than anything.
I finally feel at peace, only to have this weigh over me. I don’t like it. Why does this challenge have to take place? It should be my choice just as the legendof the dragon mark states. Another dragon should not be able to do something like this, yet here we are dealing with more negativity of the mark I’ve done my best to hide for years.
Holding onto the back of Pyro as he guides his bike through the mountains, my arms tight around his waist, my front pressing tight to his back. If not for the heat radiating off of him, I’d be a frozen corpse right about now, but he’s keeping me warm which is nice cause I wanted so much to ride with him.
Pyro tried to get me to ride in the truck with Herja and Evelin. She’d also thrown a fit to be left behind. She and Fire had ended up in an argument about it, but he ended up relenting and letting her come. Mostly because she was going to stick close to her mother while the guys were busy. We both were. This worked for us, granted, I had to be there because of the whole thing. Evelin didn’t, and with her being pregnant, she probably should have stayed back, though I could see her reasoning.
She’d wanted to stay close to her man but also be there in case they found her friend, Kinley. Evelin and I talked about her missing friend a lot in the past weeks. I could tell it was eating at her terribly, not knowing if her friend was okay. It would bother meas well if it were my friend. Not that I actually have any.
Well, I do now, but I didn’t before. I had acquaintances. People I spoke to for work.
I wish I could be of more help to find Kinley, but I honestly wouldn’t know where to start. I mean, I did my research on Shiverborn before I’d even put plans in place to go there. I knew there was a lot of rough terrain, high mountains, lots of slopes for activities, but there were also other things for tourists to do there, like shopping.
I was supposed to stay at the High Peak Lodge before the accident, but I didn’t make it there. In the end, it was a good thing. I got to spend time with people I’ve come to care about and get reacquainted with my hometown. The article is nearly done, and I can’t wait for readers to read it.
I’ve done some teasers on social media for it with the help of Evelin. Well, I didn’t do it, my assistant posted them, I simply sent her the footage and pictures.
“We’ll be there soon, Sweets,” Pyro’s voice comes loud and clear through my mind.I’d gottenreallygood at making the shield that keeps him from hearing my thoughts and me hearing his.
“Okay.” I smile and hug him tighter.
“You okay back there?”
“Of course.” How could I not be okay? I’ve been riding with him the whole time. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Granted, I was doing it without my boot on for the time being. I promised to put it back on when we got there, but it would have been too clunky for the entire trip. “Though I might be a little sore later, considering it’s my first long trip on the back of a bike.”
“I’ll help you ease the soreness.”
I can easily imagine exactly what he plans to do to help ease my pains. The very thought of it has me getting wetter than I already am.
“I can smell your arousal, Sweets,” Pyro growls in my head. How is it possible for him to do that? “I intend to feast on your pussy tonight before fucking you until dawn.”
Oh my.
“Sounds like a plan,” I tell him, tightening my arms around him and pressing a kiss to his cut-covered shoulder. I can smell the woodsy scent of his cologne mixed with leather. It’s heavenly. I don’t think I’d ever get enough of him when it comes to anything that involves this man.
“You know I really want to suck your cock.” Now, why the hell did I blurt that for him to hear?
“Carina.” His voice is like a snarl in my head. “Don’t you worry, Sweets, you’ll get the chance to do just that while I fuck that little mouth of yours.”
Well, this is something to look forward to for certain.
“We’ll be there soon enough. When we get there, you don’t leave my sight.”
“I’ll stick to you like glue,” I promise him and give him another squeeze.
I’m not sure what to expect when we get there, though I can tell by the way Pyro is right now, Shiverborn isn’t a place he wants to be going to. And I can understand it, considering he doesn’t want to deal with his mother.
