Lexi sits up straighter, the movement drawing my attention to the way her breasts threaten to spill over the scrap of lace she calls a bra. “I'm always a good girl.”

“Fucking killing me, woman.” I zip up my bag with more force than necessary, trying to keep my hands busy so I don't throw her down on that bed and forget about the whole damn run.

“Hmm.” She uncrosses her ankles and slides off the bed, padding toward me on her bare feet, distracting me even more. “And what if I need something while you're gone?”

The way she says 'something' makes my cock strain against my jeans. “Whatcha need, baby?”

She presses against my chest, her fingers sliding under my cut to trace patterns on my shirt. “Oh, you know... things only you can give me.”

“Fuck.” I reach back, catching her wrists in my hands. “You're playing with fire.”

Her tongue darts out to wet her lips. “Maybe I want to get burned.”

That does it. Grabbing her hips, I lift her up and pin her against the wall. Her legs wrap around my waist instantly, and she grinds her hot, panty-covered center against me with a breathy moan.

“I've got twenty minutes before I need to head out,” I warn her, already working my belt loose.

She grins, wicked and wanting. “Then we better make them count.”

Christ, this woman is going to be the fucking death of me. But what a way to go.

“Remember this,” I growl, pushing her panties aside. “Remember who you belong to while I'm gone.”

Her nails dig into my shoulders as I slide into her. “I belong to you, honey.”

Fucking right she does. The possessive beast in me roars with satisfaction. Yeah, leaving her for two days is going to be hell, but coming home? That'll be worth every fucking second I'm gone.

Her body tightens around me as I thrust inside her, claiming every inch. “That's it, baby. Take all of me.”

She whimpers, her head falling back against the wall. The sight of her—flushed and wanting, wearing nothing but black lace—drives me wild. My hips snap faster, and I know neither of us is going to last long.

“Shawn,” she pants, her fingers digging into my shoulders. “Please...”

“Come for me,” I demand, sliding my hand between us to rub her clit. “Now.”

My baby shatters around me, her pussy clenching as she cries out my name. The feel of her walls pulsing around my cock sends me sailing over the edge. With one final thrust, I bury myself deep and come hard, growling against her neck.

For a moment, we stay like that, both breathing heavy, her legs still wrapped around my waist. God, I love this woman more than I thought myself capable of.

The moment is shattered when my phone buzzes in my pocket, reminding me I have to leave.

“Fuck,” I mutter, carefully setting her onto her feet. Lexi’s legs wobble slightly, and I can't help but smirk. “You good?”

She smooths down her hair, giving me a satisfied smile. “I am now.”

Little smartass.

Shaking my head with a grin on my face, I tuck myself back into my jeans and grab my bags while she pulls on one of my T-shirts.Her in my clothes, looking thoroughly fucked, makes me want to call Viper and tell him to find someone else to go in my place.

But this is an important run, and there’s no way I’ll let the club down. Duty calls.

“Remember what I said,” I tell her, checking my phone to see a text from Trigg that he’s already outside. “Be good for Trigg, and no going anywhere alone.”

Lexi follows me downstairs, her bare feet silent on the steps. “I know, I know. I'll be good.”

At the door, I pull her against me for one last kiss. “You better be. And, baby?”

She lifts her head, her green eyes looking glassy like she might cry. “Yeah?”
