“Don’t lie to me, siren. Now, be a good girl and go home to rest up. Because tomorrow night, you ride the Sybian Saddle.”
Oh, sweet lord.
“I need…” I swallow the lust that washes over me. “I need my panties.”
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out my lace thong. However, instead of handing them over, he lifts them to his masked face and holds them under the wolf’s nose and inhales deeply. Then he re-pockets them. “Go, siren, before I change my mind about letting you rest, and instead fuck your ass like the dirty girl you are.”
That’s all I need to bolt out of the room. Although my body and pussy are most definitely protesting, demanding that I stay.
Chapter 22
Army
I’mmentallykickingmyass for the massive fuck-up of letting it slip that I knew Leeva was staying at the hotel.
But damn it, the way she threw up walls between us when she was scared and panicking made me irrational and livid. I couldn’t think straight. All I could think about was the thick, high walls she would erect if she discovered it was me behind the wolf’s mask.
Holy fuck, though, last night was amazing.
Sex with her was, hands down, the best of my life. An otherworld experience.
“It’s just sex.”
Her words still make me grind my teeth. No, it’s notjustsex. It’s so much more than that. It’s…everything.
The only way it would have been better was if our masks were gone, and she looked into my face and knew who owned her. And who she owned in return.
Leeva is my universe. She was when I was young and stupid and had let her slip away, and she is now that she’s back.
I just need to figure out a way to remove the mask without her freaking the fuck out.
I’m pacing in my private room at Hedon, waiting for Riveria to give me a heads-up that Leeva is here. Riveria will personally escort her to my private room because I don’t want any pricks like Rick Halloway to approach her again. Rick himself will find a different sex club after I threatened him, and he realized it was me. But that didn’t mean there weren’t others who would make a move on her. I’d seen the lust-filled looks they gave her.
As submissive as Leeva has been with me during sex, she’s feisty and stubborn. And I know she reacts impulsively when she’s scared. So I’m not confident that she’ll actually come tonight, or that she would try to prove to her masked wolf that he doesn’t control her and that she’ll sleep with whoever the fuck she wants.
The thought brings equal measures of nausea and rage.
A soft knock on the door of my private room makes me frown. I check my phone to make sure I didn’t miss a call from Riveria saying Leeva has arrived, but there’s no missed call or text. Maybe Leeva arrived without Riveria noticing and is already here—my good girl, coming to ride the Sybian Saddle.
After I have my mask on, I twist the handle and open the door. Then curse.
A red-headed, curvy woman stands there. She’s beautiful, but she doesn’t compare to the bombshell that my siren is.
Anais’ eyes widen as she takes in my wolf’s mask. “I knew it. Iknewit was you in the wolf mask, Army.”
Wrapping my hand around her upper arm, I yank her into the room and shut the door. Taking off my mask, I narrow my eyes as she walks around my private room, touching everything as she goes.
“What do you want, Anais?”
I remember then that I was supposed to talk to her about her unacceptable behavior with the other woman, Sadie. But it all flew out of my mind the moment I laid eyes on Leeva in the main room of Hedon.
She turns slowly, purposefully showing off her body in the barely-there dress. “You’ve been absent from Hedon. Or at least, I thought you had been.” She looks pointedly at the mask gripped in my fist. “I saw a man in that mask last night and thought it might be you, but you didn’t stay to fuck that woman in the main room, so I had my doubts.”
My jaw clenches, and I make myself relax. “Who I fuck, or where I fuck, isn’t your concern.”
Her face pinches. “That’s only a recent change.”
“No,” I grit. “It’s an always-has-been. We’re not exclusive and never have been.”
