“I’m here,” he said. “I can’t believe it.”
“Yup. I’m having trouble with it too. Believe me. I can’t get over Sheila and Doug abusing her. They always seemed so loving. And I just cannot imagine why she’d want to be with Roland. There’s no way he’s her mate. She must be able to tell they aren’t connected.”
He grunted. “Who knows what she’s thinking. We obviously never really knew her.” The hurt in his voice was clear. “I didn’t know she felt that way about me. I guess neither of us really paid close enough attention.”
“I guess not. I feel pretty shitty. But I will say, if she’s hurting these missing shifters… My compassion can only go so far.”
“Same,” he said. “So, what’s the plan?”
“Liam has someone following them. They only go to her house and the old fairgrounds. I say we search there for some clue as to what the hell is going on.”
“What? Fraser doesn’t have anyone to do that for him?”
I glanced at Liam knowing full-well he heard Isaac’s comment. He was sitting where I’d left him, looking at me with the same smoldering look that made me want to throw the phone away and climb on top of him. If what Isaac said had bothered him, he didn’t show it in the least.
“He hasn’t mentioned it. I’m sure he has people to help us with the search though.”
“And you’re insisting on going yourself, right?”
“Correct.”
“Fine. Let me know where and when and I’ll be there.”
After ending the call, I turned to face Liam. He was still sitting in the armchair, naked and staring at me. The connection between us pulled at me. It was the only thing that felt real. And that surprised me. He was the last person I’d ever expected to be mated with, but there was no denying it: Some ancient magic no one understood had bonded us.
I took a step toward him when something caught my eye. I turned toward it and gasped. On the wall across from his bed was a shelf, and on that shelf sat my books and only my books.
All the volumes of The Chastity Files.
“Um… You read my books?”
He nodded. “Yes. I’m looking forward to the next one.”
“Huh. You keep surprising me, Mr. Fraser.”
“Good,” he said with a grin.
I slowly stalked my way toward him. His gaze never left me, making me wet without him even touching me. I stood in front of him, in between his knees. He shifted forward to press a kiss to my bellybutton before resting his head against it. His hands trailed up my legs to embrace me as I played with his hair.
It was the most intimate I’d ever been with anyone. It was a tender moment, but my need for him, my wanting of him was still strong. He must have felt the same because his hands moved to my ass to adjust my position before aligning his mouth to my center.
My hands fisted in his hair when his tongue slid over me. “Fuck, Red, you taste incredible,” he growled.
Before I realized what was happening, he had our positions reversed, and he was on his knees. He leaned in for a kiss as he slid two fingers inside me. He moved them in and out in a slow dance, mimicking what his cock would do to me.
I moaned into his mouth when he shifted his hand, sending his fingers in deeper. My need hit a tipping point, and I lowered my hand to rub my clit as he moved his hand faster. I was just about to come when he broke the kiss, moved my hand aside, and settled his head between my legs to bring me over the edge.
I gripped his head as my hips writhed against him. “Damn, Mr. Fraser, I knew that mouth of yours could do amazing things,” I said, trying to catch my breath.
He shot me a wicked grin from between my thighs. “Oh? Are you saying you fantasized about me between your legs even while you hated me?”
I grinned down at him. “A few times.” I let out a yelp when he scooped me up and tossed me on the bed. “Didn’t you ever imagine being here with me?”
His hand moved to his shaft, gripping it while looking at me with that damn, sexy smirk of his. “More than a few times,” he said, his hand moving over himself. His gaze moved to the hand resting on my stomach. “Show me what you did to yourself while you thought of me.”
The Alpha in him came out with those words, and it didn’t piss me off. Instead, the command excited me so much my eyes rolled back a little before I’d even touched myself. I watched him watching me as I lowered my hand to my center, shifting my body to give him a better view as I made myself come.
As the climax was still pulsating through me, he grabbed my ankles to pull me to the edge of the bed. I wrapped my legs around him as he teased me with the head of his cock.
