She laughed. “Put me down and give me a proper kiss, wolf.”
Steele obeyed. He captured her lips with hungry urgency.
Gaby dug her fingers through his thick hair. She moaned in unrelenting pleasure, giving him a hard on.
Damn. Not alone. An audience of fellow team members clapped and howled. He set her down and glared at them. “Okay, show’s over.”
They laughed and moved on.
The herd of buffalo in the pasture moved toward them.
“Are you commanding the bison to keep an eye on me?” Steele asked.
“I just asked them to say hello.”
He looked at the herd they kept in Rylee’s sanctuary. “Okay, go back to grazing.”
Gaby bit her lower lip. “Are we still an item?”
Steele laughed. “Need you ask my little wolf charmer?”
Rylee approached. “Commander Steele, Gaby, let’s talk.”
Steele sighed, but obeyed. “Yes, ma’am.” He winked at her. “Later, I’ll get a proper welcome home from you in bed.”
She purred. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Rylee smiled. “How did it go?”
Steele snorted. “As best as I thought it would. My brother gave me a choice. A lycan titled woman or lose my nobility.”
“I see you decided well.” Rylee winked.
He kissed Gaby’s forehead. “Got that right.”
Gaby sighed. “So you are no longer a prince?”
“My title and Wildwood name has been erased from the public royal records. I’m also banished from ever setting foot in my brother’s territory. Including Wildwood Island.”
Gaby lowered her head. “I’m sorry.”
He lifted her chin. “Not your fault. We’re destined mates.”
“I’d be proud to accept you as a member of my pack and blood brother,” offered Rylee.
Steele bowed. “It would be an honor. Thank you.”
“We’ll seal the bond tonight.”
“What about your other land holdings and money?” asked Rylee.
“I’m allowed to keep my home in LIA territory and all of my money.”
“Generous. It could have been worse.”
“We actually hugged before I left. My brother was sorry he forced me to take Kiara, an oath breaker, as a mate. He hopes Team Greywolf will someday bring them to justice.”
“That’s good news. Means he won’t push to disband us.”
