Page 10 of Judgment Day

She was right. Once again, he and his team were allowing anger and emotions to rule them. That was what Zian was counting on. He knew they had tempers. He knew they’d risk it all for the women they loved. Scar leaned down and kissed Exa’s forehead.

“I love you, woman. My little assassin is a genius. Crazy as hell, but still a genius.”

“Yeah, yeah. The water is growing cold. Let’s shower before Julien knocks on the door again.”

“If Julien knocks on that door again, I’ll shoot him myself.”

“Not if I beat you to it.”

“Come on, love. You know you’re not faster than me. Remember the shooting game at the fair?”

Her eyes widened. “I told you never to bring that up, Scar. You want to die? Don’t you?”

Laughing, he grabbed her hands to keep her from gripping his nipples and twisting them.

“I’m just playing, chocolate,” he told her as she tried to break free of his hold. “I’m just playing. Calm down. You’re going to make us late. Exa? Don’t knee me. Kneeing me there will hurt you as much as it hurts me.”

“I doubt it.”

“It will. If I can’t fuck you to sleep, you won’t rest well.”

“I’ve got a replacement. My dildo, Big Ben, will get the job done.”

“Good luck finding him. I tossed his weak ass out last week.”

“Scar!” she yelled.

Laughing, he pressed her against the shower wall to keep her from really kneeing him. He knew they had to be in the meeting room soon. Yet, he couldn’t leave the shower before first calming his woman down. The quickest way to do that was an orgasm. It was a long time before they left the bathroom.

The water had turned cold by the time they finally emerged. After they dried off, brushed their teeth, and dressed, they stepped out of the bedroom and into the hall. The smell of fresh baked goods drifted through the air. Exa closed her eyes and breathed the scent in.

“Rain is baking again. I’m hungry now,” she said. “What about you?”

Scar licked his lips. “I’m full. I just ate.”

A blush heated his woman’s cheeks.

“You say the sexiest shit, savage.”

“Only to you.” Scar grabbed her hand.

Together, they headed to the meeting with their fingers intertwined.
