I shake my head. “No, of course not. This whole situation is not the club’s problem. It’s mine.” I tell her.

“It’s not.” Desdemona says, reaching over and squeezing my hand. “I know you feel it is, but this is all on Juan. Not you.”

“So they don’t have any other enemies?” Corinne asks.

I want to say no, but if she’s going to be around the club, she needs to know what to expect. “I’d be lying if I said that there would never be a situation similar to this again. One that requires us to be on lockdown. But since I’ve been here, this is the worst it’s been. And I know it seems bad to you, it isn’t. We’re safe here. If we leave the compound, they do all they can to ensure our safety.”

I watch as Corinne stares at a spot on the wall. I know she’s not seeing the wall, but playing out the possibilities in her head. “I feel like I should take Mal and leave.” Corinne says. Desdemona’s wine glass bumps her plate, which startles me, but I return my focus back to Corinne.

“I told you when I was growing up that I had guards. After Elina was born, I still had them. What I didn’t say was that there were days I was more afraid of the guards than of any looming threat. I’d catch them looking at me, especially as I got older. I knew that some of them, if not all, would happily hand me over to the highest bidder or destroy me themselves. That the only reason I was safe was because they were afraid of Sal.”

Corinne’s eyes widen, and I nod.

“The first time I really felt safe was when I visited the San Diego chapter. Dante and his men let me see how not all men have ulterior motives. Some only want to keep women and children safe. Here, with Puma, is the same. I trust every person here. Every single one of them. They would die rather than let anything happen to Elina or me. They would never betray Puma. Not because they fear him, but because they love him. They admire him. They don’t follow Puma just for the money. Although, he makes sure everyone earns a good income. But they’re here because this is their family. They’re loyal to each other.”

I see Corinne nod, and the tightness around my chest loosens.

“I understand what you’re saying. But I still don’t know if staying here is the right thing for us. However, I promise, I’ll think about what you’ve said. I’ll talk with Puma, and I’ll likely be talking to Trouble.” I see Desdemona’s eyes widen and I stifle a giggle.

“Thank you. I hope you stay. I enjoy having you around, and I know losing Mal would devastate Elina.”

“I need a shower before the kids wake up.” Corinne says and I nod in agreement.

“Me, too.”

“You two go get cleaned up. By the time you’re done, the kids should be awake. I’ll take care of all this.” She says, gesturing toward the food and wine.

I part ways with Corinne as she ducks into her bedroom while I make my way to Puma’s. I let my mind drift to what the guys are doing, but I don’t linger. So far, Corinne hasn’t asked about what the guys plan on doing with our attacker. I’m pretty sure if she knew, she’d grab Mal and run without a backwards glance.

The hot water runs over my body as I grab the soap, only to find it missing as I feel a presence behind me. My heart races until I take in the scent of my mate and relax back into him.

“Mmm. Max. We have to be quick. Puma will be back any minute.” I whisper, keeping the humor out of my tone. But I can’t stop the bark of laughter when he growls.

“Max? Really?” Puma says and I chuckle as I turn to wrap my arms around his neck and press my body against his.

“He is cute.” I tell him, but before he can bitch, I glide up and kiss him with all the passion and need flowing through my body.

Puma hoists me into his arms and pins my body between his and the tile. The cold tile does very little too cool off my skin. The feeling of his cock rubbing against my pussy lips sends a flood of heat through my veins and straight into my skin.

“I should spank you for thinking he’s cute.” Puma threatens. Fuck, the heat escalates at the thought of a spanking. Imagining the feel of his calloused hand smacking my ass has my pussy gushing, and a shudder runs through me. He must feel it, because the grin spreads across his face. “You like that idea, don’t you? The thought of me taking you over my knee and smacking your ass until it’s red?”

“Oh, fuck.” I moan as my body takes over so I’m rubbing against him with need, like a cat in heat. He gives me some relief by sliding his finger along my folds and flicking my clit. I groan when that finger slides into me. He uses his finger to fuck my channel while his thumb works my clit. The pleasure builds as my body overheats. When I detonate, I scream his name just before he captures my cries with his mouth.

I’m still reeling from the orgasm as I feel his soapy hands roam over my body. As he lifts me and carries me out of the shower, I feel myself finally returning to my body and I stare into his eyes as he carries me to the bed.

“I love you, Alisa. My angel.” He says as he lowers us both down.

“I love you, too.” I whisper as he attacks my neck with his tongue and teeth.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: PUMA

Fuck, my woman tastes good. I use my teeth and my tongue to nibble and lick her neck before making my way to her glorious breasts. I didn’t have time to worship them when we made love earlier. Sex on the bike was hot and fast, so now I’m taking it slow to draw out her pleasure.

I suck her nipple into my mouth and use my tongue to work it into a hard nub before moving to the other one. Losing myself, I chuckle when I feel her thrashing under me as tries to impale herself on my cock. “Need something, baby girl?” I ask her as I rub my nose down past her belly until he’s buried in her wet core. Damn, she smells sweet.

“You, inside me. Please. I need you. Puma. Please.” She’s moaning and I feel her body shaking with need. I realize the orgasm in the shower didn’t sate her in the least. It simply lit the fuse. But instead of giving her what she’s begging for, I take what I need first. Lapping her juices, I get my fill as her essence floods my mouth and coats my tongue. I don’t stop until I feel her walls tremble and her legs tighten as she lifts her ass off the bed to shove her pussy into my face.

Fucking heaven.
