"I think I made it pretty clear back there, but if you could keep your lips to yourself around Nix, I would appreciate it." While he says it with a friendly show of teeth, there's a growl in the tone that speaks straight to my wet panties.

Jealous Gunner is possessive and hot. Alpha Gunner. Yummy.

"Baby, your hand fell off your mouth." Fuck. Said that out loud. I rush to correct the problem.

Once we drop Jane off at her place, Gunner walks me to my door.

"Nixy, I’ll come by your place in the morning. Bring you something for your hangover. Greasy work for you?"

I sigh and give him girly googly eyes. Of course, he makes food sound sexy. "That sounds glorious."

His eyebrow curves up at me. "Alpha Gunner, huh? I like it. If I am the Alpha, what exactly does that make you?"

"Submissive as fuck." The words are out of my mouth before I can stop them. He’s definitely going to disappear after that.

His eyebrows reach his forehead before he straightens up. "Alright, baby. Go to bed. I'll see you in the morning."

Maybe I haven’t scared him off after all.
