I snorted. That was the truth. “And less stress.” I nodded when he sighed. Yeah, I didn’t think that was going to be happening anytime soon.
Butsomething to ease my stress would help and that was a text from the president apologizing. He had no idea things were remotely that bad with thousands of uninjured using ASH like a damn camping park. He said he’d given the order to our military to start getting those people through a portal to our embassy in South America.
And they would reenter their country from there. No more playing. No more bullshit or trying to get them to the border or whatever games their government would try next. He didn’t know what the goal of the South American President really was with this, but he was done playing.
Especially because the President of South America was a warlock and we now knew a lot of the witches and warlocks whohelpedthat day to bring everyone here were of his family. Not the good ones, the local ones who truly saved people.
Some dying because of it. No, the smirking assholes who just kept bringing more and more uninjured people like we were a resort for them to find peace at after their crisis.
I told Ha-joon while he drove and he nodded as his grip on the steering wheel tightened. It was so bad I was worried about my damn SUV his knuckles were so white.
“What am I missing?” I worried.
“I’m just upset that I can’t bash that fucker’s face in,” he mumbled. “All of their faces in. Hearing what they’ve been saying to you now that I’m not in surgery saving their citizens—getting caught up has been hard. I can’t imagine how you’ve been shouldering it all and always. You’re really amazing, Ellie.”
Oh wow, I hadn’t seen that coming from him. I liked it, but… I hadn’t seen that coming.
“Wanna see how amazing I am on my knees while we shower?” I asked, trying to keep my tone as innocent as possible.
He looked at me so fast that I heard his neck pop.
“Traffic!” I yelled when we came up on brake lights.
“Shit, sorry,” he growled as he slammed on the brakes and paid attention, his arm shooting out protectively.
“So you almost rear-end someone in my SUV and you cop a feel as your reward?” I drawled, looking down at his arm over my breasts.
“Ellie, that wasn’t—I can’t even get mad. My brain melted and now I just want what you—how much longer until your condo?” The ramble he said that all in and so fast was fucking adorable.
How was a huge, sexy Alpha werewolf also so damn adorable?
Yeah, I was in trouble… And naked the second we were in my condo.
“Don’t even joke about being subtle when you asked what you did,” he said with a growl when I opened my mouth.
Fair enough.
The shower wasn’t fully warmed up when he pushed me inside, the smirk on his lips letting me know that it was intentional.
Fine, I closed the door in his face.
He laughed. He burst out laughing and just opened it back up. He moved me against the tiles and blocked the water until it finished warming up and then made sure every inch of me was soaked.
Yeah, that wasn’t difficult, but it took a bit for my hair given there was so much.
He placed soft kisses all over my body, the touches driving me mad and we both knew that was intentional.
“I was already horny when I offered,” I chuckled. “You don’t have to wind me up.”
“I like when you get out of your head for me, Ellie.” He pushed his wet hair back out of his face, absolutely showing off his muscular arm and toned body.
And that his dick was standing proud and ready for my attention.
Yes. Please.
I dropped to my knees and took him in my mouth. He stretched my lips wide like always and my nostrils flared as Ismelled the power in his blood right there under his skin for me. I wanted that as much as I wanted him to fuck me.
But I wanted it because it was his blood, not just powerful blood. It had always been about Ha-joon and what we shared, not just some ride on his blood.
