Pepper reluctantly held it out to me. “She’s vulnerable. Especially where you’re concerned.”

What had Salem said to Pepper? Had she been talking about me?

My arms tightened around her, and she made a soft purring sound. Damn my dick for getting hard. There was no way I was touching her while she was trashed. When I sank my cock into her again, she would remember it.

Taking the towel, I wrapped it around her back. “Come on,” I told her. “Let’s go inside.”

She didn’t move. “I like this. You feel good.”

So do you, Angel Face.

“Let me wrap you up and get you inside. Once you get dressed, you can do this until you fall asleep,” I said close to her ear, not wanting the rest of the women who were all watching us to hear me.

She tilted her head back and gave me an endearing smile. “Really?”

I nodded.

She let go of me then, and I was able to get her fully covered. At least the parts that had the other men ogling her up. Her body leaned into my side, and I kept my arm around her shoulders as I walked her back to the clubhouse.

“I didn’t think you’d notice me with all the naked boobs down there with y’all,” she said as we reached the door.

“Angel Face, I don’t think there’s a man down there who didn’t notice you. And I was never down there. I was in a meeting. I walked outside and came straight over to you.”

She looked up at me as I led her inside. “Why?”

I smirked. Was she serious?

“Why do you think?”

“Because I could drown,” she said slowly.

Chuckling, I nodded. “Yeah, that was a reason, but not the initial one.”

We reached the steps, and she paused, glancing at them as if they were an obstacle course. I gave her two solid seconds to think about it, then figuredfuck itand scooped her up. She squealed as I did so, and her arms flew to my neck.

“Why’re you carrying me?” she asked, then sniffed my neck and made a pleased hum.

“Because it’s quicker and I don’t have to worry about you tripping.”And it gives me a reason to hold you against me without taking advantage of you.

“M’kay,” she agreed, snuggling against me as if she was trying to burrow into my chest.

When I reached the top of the stairs, I looked down the hallway at their room and decided it wasn’t safe for her to be alone without supervision.

What if she left the room and fell down the stairs?

Deciding that was a solid concern, I headed for my room. She could put one of my shirts over this damn bikini and pass out in my bed.

Pushing open my door, I carried her inside and sat her on the end of my king-size bed.

She looked around. “Where are we?”

I turned from the sight she made, sitting there, and ignored thethings it did to my cock, and then I got the biggest damn shirt I could find to cover all her tits, ass, and legs up.

“It’s big,” she said, then giggled.

I glanced over my shoulder to see her flip over and begin to crawl toward the pillows, giving me a close-up view of her wiggling ass.

Fucking hell. My cock pressed against my zipper with a jerk.
