My suspicion was confirmed when he stuck close to me for the rest of the evening. After Isa was down, we sat snuggled on the big wicker couch on the back deck, enjoying the spring air.
Griffin had been quieter than usual since we left the compound, tension radiating off him even though he tried to hide it. I finally leaned my head back against his chest and looked up at him.
“I can feel something’s bothering you. I wasn’t sure if I should ask, but you’ve been my rock through all of this. I want to be a safe place for you too.”
His eyes flared at my description, seeming to mean something to him. He sighed before murmuring, “We need to talk, baby.”
I wasn’t sure what to think. He sounded so serious, but I couldn’t imagine that he was going to tell me that he was about to send me away. Especially when he pulled me onto his lap so I straddled him.
When I rested my hands on his broad shoulders, his eyes locked on mine. “I won’t let anything happen to you or our children.”
Every time he used “our,” I grew more certain about my place in his life. The words made it clear this wasn’t temporary for him. He really saw a future with me. He’d meant his possessive claim each time he filled my pussy with his come without pulling out, every filthy promise about breeding me while we made love.
I didn’t have long to dwell on that realization because he kept going.
“Someone’s been watching you. It’s connected to my asshole twin.” My eyes widened at this information, but I knew I was safe in his arms. “Gavin got himself into deep shit and dragged my name into it. They were following you to find him—well, me, at first.”
“Whoa,” I breathed.
Knowing something was making him tense was one thing, but finding out scary bikers were following me wasn’t what I was expecting him to say.
Seeing the fear in my expression, Griffin explained, “We met with Division Nine today. They refused to believe I’m not the guy they’re looking for, but King sent the evidence over. I’m sure they’re gonna want me to hand my brother over once they figure out I’m really not him.”
I didn’t ask if he would because I already knew the answer. His soft look told me he saw that understanding in my eyes.
“They might try to use you or Isa as leverage,” he continued, his hands tightening on my hips. “But they’ll never get anywherenear either of you. The club is going to make that real fucking clear, very soon.”
I knew how protective he was over Isa and me, so I didn’t panic. “I know you won’t let anything happen to us.”
Satisfaction gleamed in his blue orbs as he cupped my jaw, his thumb brushing my cheek. “I’m so damn proud of you, sweetheart. You’re incredible.”
I wasn’t sure I felt as strong as he seemed to think I was, but the way he said it made me believe maybe I could be. For him and Isa.
Now that everything was out there, emotion sparked into desire. Griffin’s hold on me tightened, and I leaned into him, pressing my body against his solid chest. He stood in one smooth motion, lifted me as though I weighed nothing, and carried me inside to the bedroom.
He set me on the mattress and stripped me slowly while his mouth followed every inch of skin he uncovered. When he finally settled between my thighs, his breath was hot against my already slick core.
“Look at you,” he growled in a hungry voice. “So fucking wet for me already. This perfect pussy knows who it belongs to, doesn’t it, sweetheart?”
I whimpered, and my hips lifted toward him. He didn’t tease, diving in like a man starving. His tongue licked a long swipe from my entrance to my clit before sucking the swollen bud into his mouth.
He tugged it with his teeth before letting go with a pop. “Tell me, sweetheart.”
“You,” I gasped. “My pussy belongs to you.”
“Damn straight.”
He rewarded me by pushing two thick fingers deep inside me, curling the tips just right to stroke the sensitive spot that made stars burst behind my eyes.
“Oh yes, Griffin. Please.”
“That’s it, sweetheart.” He tugged on my clit with his teeth again, making me jolt. “Ride my face. Let me taste how much you need me to fill you up. Gonna eat this pussy until you’re dripping down my chin, then I’m gonna breed you so deep you’ll feel me for days.”
He was relentless in his goal of making me come, using his tongue, teeth, and fingers to drive me higher. It wasn’t long before I came with a jagged cry, my thighs clamping around his head as pleasure crashed through me in waves.
He didn’t stop, licking me through every aftershock, growling praise between strokes of his tongue.
“Such a good girl. So fucking sweet.”
