“I feel gross.”

“I know.” His body tensed. I could feel it in his arms as they held me tight. “And that’s why I’m taking you home after our little vacation.”

I sat up, my body jerking in his lap. “You’re what?”

His bright blue eyes stared intensely at me as his hand came up to cup my cheek. “I’m taking you home.”

“But—What about Shawn?”

“I have guys sitting on him right now. As soon as I give the order, they’ll bring him in.”

Maybe it was the drugs still lingering in my brain, but I was so confused. “Bring him in where?”

He took a deep breath and sighed. “To OPS.”

Shock rippled through me at his statement. I couldn’t believe it. IKE was a lone wolf, and yet…he was taking Shawn to OPS. Why?

“IKE, I need to know something.”

“Anything.”

I took a deep breath. “Are you forming a wolf pack?”

He stared at me for a second before his lips twitched. “Why would you ask that?”

“Well, it started with IRIS, and now you’re relying on others to watch Shawn. And on top of that, you’re taking him home to OPS. I don’t know what else to assume.”

“You can assume that my priorities shifted slightly.”

“Revenge isn’t everything, you know.”

“No, but keeping you safe is.”

“I thought you were letting me make the decisions on whether or not I needed to be kept safe,” I said, quirking an eyebrow at him in challenge.

A low rumble worked its way through his chest. I knew he was having a hard time keeping his protective instincts in check right now, but I appreciated the effort.

“To an extent. If you choose to go after Shawn right now, I’m gonna have to throw you over my shoulder and kidnap you.”

“And what would that look like?”

“I’d have no choice but to tie you to a bed and do unspeakable things to you until you gave in and realized that I know what’s best for you in this case.”

My breath hitched when his hand slid down my neck, skimming over my gown. His fingers brushed lightly over my breast, taking extra time to circle my nipple.

“Torture would definitely be involved. I wonder how long you could hold out?”

At this rate, not long. “What else?”

He pinched my nipple and twisted, drawing a raspy cry from my throat. “Begging. Lots and lots of begging.”

My eyes fluttered closed as he slid his hand around the side of my neck and his mouth latched onto the other side. My breasts ached as he slowly twirled my nipple between his fingers, sending a torturous ache straight to my clit. I desperately needed him right now.

“Knox…” I whimpered.

“I fucking love when you say my name,” he growled, twisting my nipple hard.

I cried out, needing nothing more than his touch and his lips on my skin to bring me to orgasm. The noise died down in my head, leaving me in a blissful state of nothingness as I collapsed in his arms. I was thoroughly drained, but that might have more to do with the overdose than the orgasm he just gave me, but I’d take it either way.
