“Behave.”
She pouted and it amused him so much he nearly forgot the healing bruising on her face. Not to mention the rest of her body.
“Sit up.” She listened. “Arms up.” He held up the bra they picked up, how they knew her size, he couldn’t and wouldn’t focus on.
Dianna winced even she listened to him, no hesitation to follow his order. Inching closer, he put the bra on her and wrapped his arms around her to fasten it in the back. Chest to chest, he had to think hard about getting her dressed and not sinking his cock deep inside her pussy.
Unable to help himself, he dragged his nose along her neck and up the side of her face, just allowing her presence to weave through him.
“Are you okay?”
Could his brothers hear his question? Yes. Did he care? Not a lick.
“Sore as fuck but given I’m breathing and this qualifies as alive, I’m fine.” She leaned into him with a. heavy sigh. “I want a weapon or six while we get the fuck out of here.”
He knew better than to argue with her. She was a fighter. She was a cop. She was a pissed off woman who’d been taken against her will.
“Let’s start with getting you dressed.”
“Your cock is right there, surely we could find something else to do with it. Seems a shame to cover it up.”
“Not happening, mate. You wanted them inside out of the weather and I’ll fucking gut them if they see you naked.” He sat back enough that her gaze snapped right back to his still rigid cock as he snatched up the bag once more.
Withdrawing a long-sleeve thermal top, he helped her get it on, trying to move her upper body as little as he could. She curved her fingers inside the sleeve with a low purr that set his cat on edge.
“Heat.” She grinned at him, appearing almost childish. “This is nice. Not as nice as your body heat but I’ll take it.”
“You’re killing me, baby.”
Her grin was nothing but sass. He nearly shot his load all over her front when she dragged a finger up his erection.
“If you’d only give me a chance,” she said with a wink.
He bared his fangs at her and saucy woman that she was, gripped him, hard. And pumped his dick twice, never once lowering her gaze.
Chapter 9
Heat surrounded her and Dianna never wanted to be cold again. She remained by the small fire in the cabin while the three damn good looking men talked not to far. They didn’t exclude her but they weren’t actively including her either.
They’d melted some snow for her to clean up a bit more in and she’d gone to the bathroom outside. Now they were all back in and the winter storm had picked up tenfold. She wanted more layers and those men were in short sleeves.
For a moment there, she thought she’d pushed Jeremy to far. God, the feel of his cock in her hand once more had been nearly enough for her to forget every ache and pain owning her. At least she was willing to ignore them until he gave her an orgasm or ten.
But he’d been adamant about dressing her. And she appreciated him staying focused because while there was a reprieve, she held onto no illusions they were out of the woods.
Jeremy wanted her back on the pile of furs but she needed to be up and moving. It would help and she needed to see how much she could move. And while she still wasn’t fluid like she normally was, the more she did, the better her muscles felt.
She skimmed over the trio once more. Macsen and Vaughn. Twins. Handsome as all get out, it was like watching an ad for sex and nearly being overwhelmed. She liked them and could see their bond even if they—they being Jeremy and Vaughn—pretended to be all cold and standoffish.
Macsen had more lightheartedness in his expression. Not a lot but given the other two were brick walls, it was huge. Both were polite to her and accepting of the way Jeremy called her mate.
Her insides curled and fluttered as she thought of how his gaze burned her when he said that. Exhaling slowly, she resumed her walking. It wouldn’t do to get aroused in a room full of shifters.
As if sensing her need, then again, perhaps he smelled it, Jeremy turned his head slightly to the left and pinned her with his heated gaze. “Dianna?”
Frustration over all of it pushed to the top and she huffed. He cocked an eyebrow and held out his arm. She was moving before it even registered. When it did, she already sat plastered up to his side, wrapped in the heat his body produced.
“Do you remember anything they said?” He brushed a kiss along her temple.
