“Fuck, Sweets, you’re so damn beautiful. Come all over me, soak me with those sweet juices.”
That’s all it takes. His dirty words have me going over.
I throw my head back, my body bowing. I cry out his name, stars fill my gaze, blurring my vision to anything else.
“Carina,” Pyro snarls, bringing a hand up to jerk me to him, his mouth finding my neck where he bites down, filling me with his release while driving me even further into insanity.
Pyro might have already marked me, but this time it was different, and I don’t know how to describe it other than proving I was his.
Which I was. I’m his, and no challenge will change that. I won’t leave him even if I have to die to be with him. No one will take Pyro from me. Or me from him.
SEVENTEEN
PYRO
I don’t thinkI could love another person as much as I do Carina. Leaving her in bed is the last thing I want to do. Just like yesterday morning, I didn’t like leaving her alone.
She’s mine, and I can’t get enough of her. I fucked her ‘til dawn before allowing her to fall into an exhausted sleep. I didn’t sleep, though. I held her for a while before getting up, showering, and getting dressed. I have a lot to do before I have to be ready for the challenge.
First things first, make sure Heat and Brimstone are ready. There’s a lot to do, and they for sure have to be with me when I go to deal with my mother. Thetwo of them, and Fire, if he ends up going with us, are the only ones who need to be near the woman.
For what I have planned, I need most of my brothers here to look after my mate. Keep her safe because I don’t know how long it will take with my mother for her to agree to my terms.
With one last kiss to my mate’s temple, I make sure she’s tucked in and leave her to sleep.
I glance down the hallway as I step out of the room to find not just Heat and Brimstone, or even Fire, standing there. Clay and Inferno are also there.
“We going?” Brimstone asks, kicking away from the wall.
“Yeah, VP.” I nod and look toward Inferno and Clay. “You standing guard over her?”
“Not leaving her alone,” Clay grunts.
“I’ll be shifting and sitting on the roof watching for anything,” Inferno states.
Good thing we’re on the top floor. It’ll make things easier for us when it comes time to leave for the top of the mountain.
“Right.” I nod. “If she wakes up before I get back, let her know I’ll see her in a little while before the challenge.” My gut twists at the thought because I didn’t want her to witness what was going to happen. I have no problem when it comes to fighting. I sure as hell have no issues killing. I’ll draw bloodand carve out my opponent’s entrails like no one’s business. What I don’t want is for her to see me do it only to get scared of me.
That’s what I don’t want to happen.
Throughout the night, I’d felt her feelings through the bond. I knew what she felt for me, and the feeling was mutual. I don’t want that to change.
Not fucking ever. If I could keep her away from this shit tonight, I would in a heartbeat.
“She’ll be all right,” Clay states, stepping toward me and clasping a hand on my shoulder. “Got nothing to worry about.”
“The rest of the club will also be here. No one will get to her,” Heat remarks.
I nod and start for the elevators. This is not something I want to do. If I could, I’d still be in bed with Carina, passed the hell out.
But this is something that needs to be done. For the club. For Carina.
“You’re not welcome here,” the little weasel of a bastard states snarkily, standing in front of a cave. “Only those of the leaders are allowed.”
Not willing to deal with this pencil stick dick, I step forward, shove him to the side, and move to thebarrier, sealing those out who are not welcome. Looking at the warlock, I plant a foot inside, keeping one out, opening the barrier for my brothers to step inside.
“You think my mother would keep me out?” I ask, eyes still on the guy. “Think again. I’m her only child, and she’d never ban me, no matter the fact we are not close. I’m her son.”
