“I’m very serious.” He chuckles under his breath and shakes his head. “Maybe the Old Ladies didn’t tell you, but the men of the DSMC fall hard and fast. When we meet the woman who is meant to be ours, we don’t second guess it. We’re also loyal as fuck.”

“You’re crazy,” I murmur.

The rumble of laughter that comes from him has me wanting to give him more reasons to laugh. It’s relaxing and at odds with the fierce don’t fuck with me vibes he gives off.

“Not crazy, determined,” he corrects me. “We aren’t just loyal,” he informs me while gripping my chin and turning my head toward him. My gaze bounces between his eyes, studying him in the hope to see the truth in his words. “We’re also territorial, possessive, and protective. We can be assholes, but that’s only because we want to make sure our women are safe and happy.”

I giggle, everything he’s telling me is not easy to believe, but, somehow, I do. “I can see the asshole part. Have they all just bulldozed into the lives of their women and not taken no for an answer?”

He smirks and winks. “Something like that.”

I make a humming sound, uncertainty about this whole thing making it hard to process what is happening right now. Before I can even figure out if I have any questions or if I’m going to argue about what he’s saying, his lips are on mine.

The kiss starts out sweet and soft, but something simultaneously clicks in both of us. Everything turns feral, his hands diving into my hair and holding me in place.

When his tongue pushes past my lips and starts to explore my mouth, I moan. Loudly. Then Frenzy is standing with me still in his arms. And we’re moving.

But the only thing I can focus on is the way his lips feel against mine.

CHAPTER 6

FRENZY

Having Scarlett in my arms only makes me surer that she’s the woman for me. Her lush body has my cock harder than it’s ever been. I can’t wait to hold onto her hips and plow into her from behind.

I won’t be taking her first that way. Hell no. The first time I slide inside of her; I want to be able to look into her eyes. I want her to know exactly what is happening and that I’m claiming her.

Because that is exactly what I’m doing.

She’s mine.

Even though Scarlett’s place is small without a lot of doors to choose from, there are enough that I ask between kisses, “Which room is yours, Sugar?”

Her round cheeks are a rosy color as she breathes out, “Second one on the right.”

I don’t waste time in getting to the door and gently pushing it open with my hip without jostling my woman too much. Fuck, she’s perfect. I almost lost my shit when she told me she was too heavy to sit on my lap.

No fucking way. I’m a big guy and I work out, not only to ensure that I can do my job for the club, but because of moments just like this one, even if I didn’t know it at the time. Even though she’s taller than some of the other women around the club, she’s the perfect height for me.

Fuck, and her curves.

When I lay her down on the bed, I stand up to my full height and take my cut off slowly. Our gazes are locked, and I hope I’m not about to kick my own ass for the words about to come out of my mouth. “If you don’t want this, Scarlett, you tell me right now.”

“I want this,” she whispers and licks her lips as her eyes roam over my still clothed body.

Hearing those words come from her is almost too much. A feeling of desperation is clawing at me, wanting to come out, but I hold it back. For now.

She needs to know exactly what she’s getting into and what this means.

“You need to know,” my voice is husky with desire, “once I get inside of you, that’s it. For you and me.”

Her eyebrows pull together and I’m momentarily stunned by just how gorgeous she is, especially with her curls creating a halo around her head. I knew her hair would be long, and it is. There’s a slight redness to the mahogany color which makes her skinlook like it’s glowing. And the small smattering of freckles across her lightly tanned skin makes her look like the girl next door.

I’m not going to be doing anything wholesome to her, though, once I get the chance. Far from it. I’m going to ruin her for all other men. She’ll be mine; only fucking mine.

“What do you mean?”

I start to strip my clothes slowly, starting with reaching back and gripping the neck of my shirt before pulling it off. Her mouth drops open slightly and her eyes glaze over.
