"Persephone."

He chuckles and shakes his head. "Bad girl."

"I'm not the little princess my parents may have led you to believe."

"I can see that," Tiberius replies with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun together." With a wink, he quickens his pace toward the water.

"I should tell you that I can't swim."

He stops and frowns. "Why not?"

"I never had swimming lessons. As I got older, it wasn't something I asked for. My mother hated the water."

"One day soon, I will teach you."

When we reach the lake, Tiberius launches my father's boat into the water before we climb aboard. He checks the fuel and a few other things that I know nothing about. As he leans over, my eyes stray to his perfect ass. The way his jeans tighten makes my mouth water.

I clear my throat, and ask, "Are we going to continue what you started in the office?" I grin.

Tiberius slowly turns his head and gazes at me from over his shoulder. "Sweetheart, the first time I get my cock wet in your virgin cunt, you will be in my bed." He licks his lips, and lust shoots downward, making me squirm. "And when you are no longer a virgin, I'm going to fuck you six ways from Sunday. I’ll eat your cunt so that you will still feel my mouth on you a week later. I’ll shoot my cum all over those round tits that I can’t stop thinking about to stake my claim on you. Is that clear?"

"Oh, hell!" I groan.

He chuckles.

He's a grown man, Kinsley. How did you expect him to react to your teasing?

TIBERIUS

My head needsto clear for the meeting I’m heading to, but with Kinsley beside me, it’s damn difficult to have a cohesive thought. I had smelled her fucking arousal. My sweet, innocent seventeen-year-old girl is not as innocent as I thought. She has no qualms about teasing the beast. The girl knows how much I want her. It’s impossible for her not to notice how fucking hard she makes me.

Once we’d gotten out on the lake, I had been tempted to strip her leggings and panties from those long legs of hers and put my mouth on her pussy. It would have been drenched from her arousal. She ached with it at the filthy words I used to describe what I was going to do to her.

Fuck me! I silently curse at the hard-on I’m fighting to control. I rub at my forehead and inhale deeply. My obsession with the girl has to be brought under control in order for me to keep her safe. I give her a sidelong glance and notice her eyes on me and the tiny smirk on one side of her mouth. My eyes track each movement she makes as she swipes her tongue over her lips.

We match again. Both of us are wearing tees and our black biker boots—both as well-worn as the other’s. It's like she was fucking made for me. I scrub my hand over my face and force my attention outside the car. We’re riding in a convoy with a few of my men. I prefer my bike. It makes it easier to get away from situations that go tits up. Unfortunately, not all the men have the experience for tonight's adventure on the back of a bike.

I sense Kinsley beginning to fidget. I glance her way and, reaching out, capture her hand in one of mine. Her eyes search my gaze as I intertwine our fingers and rest our joined hands in her lap. I've done this since I arrived at the Lake House, and I like it. I like touching her. I like the way she clings to my flesh and the way her thumb rubs along a finger. She places her other hand atop our joined ones and, using a finger, traces around the mandala tattoo on my skin. This one means family. The one on my other hand means strength. I smile at her, feeling a sense of connection and comfort in our shared silence. In this moment, I know that our bond goes beyond words and gestures, transcending into something deeper that should scare the ever-loving crap out of me. It doesn't, though. Not with Kinsley.

I squeeze her hand before releasing it. "I can't believe I agreed to this," I mutter.

"I can," Jock says from his position up front.

"I didn't need an answer." I glance over at Kinsley. "You stay behind me."

"You've told me that like ten times, Tiberius. You've also told me that the buyer is a family man. Has a daughter my age. That is why you agreed to bring me.”

I’m fighting with myself about her safety. I want her safe, but I also want her with me. I’ve waited these past two years for her to grow up, possibly thinking I imagined how I felt for her, because what the fuck is wrong with me. I didn’t imagine it. I saw the desire she has for me in her eyes. She’s gone from the funeral, where she appeared apprehensive around me, to a flirt and a tease. She’s comfortable with me, which is good. The last thing I want is for her to be afraid of me. But fuck if I know what I’m doing with her. I just keep reminding myself that she'll be eighteen soon. She’ll officially be an adult, even though she can’t drink for another three years.

“Five minutes out,” Salem says from his position behind the wheel.

Turning to Kinsley, I cup her face and place a quick kiss on her lips before I focus outside the vehicle. The terrain is flat, with a single warehouse central of the metal fencing around the perimeter. I spot a few of Rogers’s men pacing out in the open as our cars enter through the massive gates. A quick glance at Kinsley causes me to pause. I don't see fear on her pretty face; I see excitement, which is why I take a second look.Fuck me!She's excited. I rub a hand over my mouth to keep my thoughts to myself.

The second the vehicles come to a stop, Jock is out, looking like a secret service agent, as he opens my door. I slide out and hold a hand out for Kinsley. "Behave," I mutter, releasing her.

My eyes are constantly roving over Rogers’s men and the building before us. The man himself strides out, a smile on his face, a hand outstretched for me to shake. Surprise flickers across Allen Rogers’s face when his eyes land on Kinsley. I want to hustle her back into the car so no one can look at her. She's mine, and I want to fucking tell him. I bite the words back, as this is supposed to be a friendly chat so I can be brought up to date on the deal that is currently causing issues.
