Taking a step closer, I nod. “Yes. Because Alpha wanted me to go to the prison, and everyone else in the clubhouse knew that if they told you I was going, you would have stopped me from heading in there alone.”

His face instantly turns bright red, his nostrils flaring as he spins his back to me to try to control himself. I take another step closer. “Loki, Alpha organized it so I could meet with Valerie and Haven to get the inside information Valerie has been gathering for the app.”

He snaps back around to face me, but this time, he rushes forward, taking the steps to narrow the distance between us. My breath hitches as he reaches out, grabs my arms, and yanks mybody to him, taking me by surprise. His fierce arms grip me tight, making it hard to breathe while he holds onto me, his nose instantly nestling into my hair.

I relax in his embrace, holding him back, my heart hammering in my chest, almost out of control. “Don’t youevergo there by yourself again. Especially not while some asshole is threatening and blackmailing you, Bea.”

My muscles soften a little when hearing the reason he is overreacting.

It’s because he’s concerned.

Because he cares so much.

That much is obvious if he has been needing to take antidepressants.

But the mood between us is still tense.

And I am always known for being the bright, sassy girl who can usually cheer anyone up.

So, I try to taunt him to lift his mood by letting him know how I feel. “Why? Are you worried about me?” I mock, glancing up at him with a sly smirk.

He furrows his brows. “Fuck. Of course I am.”

“Because we’re friends?” I ask.

He huffs. “What kind of question is that?” He grunts, letting me go and taking a step back.

But I want to continue to tease him and see how far I can take this. “But we’re not friends,are we,Loki?”

He just stares at me, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down in his throat with the obvious nervousness flowing through him. “What are you doing, Bea?”

I take a step closer, and the energy in the room begins to spark between us the same way it always used to. “Just having an incredibly simple conversation with you.”

He snorts out a laugh, craning his head to the side. “Nothing is simple with you, Bea.”

I figure if I’m going to do this, I may as well try to get everything out in the open. “Is that because you want to kiss me? Like we did that night in the shower? Or was that really only in my dreams?”

His shoulders sag, and relief floods across his face. “You remember?” His words come out breathy.

“It wasn’t a dream?” Smiling wide, I nod as my heart races frantically.

He lets out a chuckle, the heaviness from his face evaporating as that spark of lust hits his eyes again. “No baby, it wasn’t a dream,” he chimes, rushing forward, his hands sweeping in to cup my ass as he lifts me in one swift motion. I giggle, moving with him, my hands sliding around his neck and holding on tight as he backs me up and then sits me on his desk. My heart pounds so intensely I can barely think. It’s like the air from my lungs is being sucked out from the rush surging through my body when his lips slam against mine.

Hard.

Fast.

Unrelenting.

My tongue dances with his as he steps in between my legs, and they instantly wrap around him, his hard cock pressing against my already soaking pussy while I find myself moaning into his mouth. The kiss is frantic, both of us knowing we’ve been needing this for too damn long. He threads his fingers in my hair, holding me firmly while his other hand trails over my breast, squeezing. A whimper escapes me as I push against him, letting him know that I want this.

I want him.

I havealwayswanted him.

A low growl rumbles from his chest as his hand slides down, dipping lower and under my skirt. When his fingers make contact with the soaked fabric of my panties, the anticipationhas me moaning and needing more.

I rock my hips, and he nips at my lip. “Don’t worry, Sparkle, I got you.” And with that, his fingers graze my folds, a tease before suddenly, a ripping sound echoes through the air.
