Page 53 of Dare You to Catch Me
“Good girl.” He shoots me a wink and walks out the door.
I walk to our closet and get myself dressed. I wrap my gunholster around my leg, high up on my thigh, then check my gun before sliding it in. Bracelet goes around my wrist and I'm ready.
And I walk out the door. I get into the hallway and once again Bear is leaning against the wall. Lifting a brow I ask. “Don't you have anything better to do than stand outside my door?” He peels his back from the wall, stepping in front of me. “Yes, I do, but this is where I'm needed right now.”
“Why is that?” I ask.
“You are under my protection… Queen.” That smirk twists from his lips before his eyes trail down my body, taking in my outfit and exposed skin, before they lock on my cleavage. He wants to play games, then let's play.
My hand snaps out, grasping the bulge in his pants firmly gripping my fingers in his heavy girth, as I slam him back against the wall, narrowing my eyes at him. “If I am your Queen then respect me as one. And show Ace some fucking respect. I'm his fucking wife, not some girl off the street you two fucked.”
“Don't get yourself all excited; though, you're going to make something elseexcitedif you don't let go.” His eyes dart down to my hand that is firmly grasping his cock and I rip my hand away, stepping back. “You sure you're not that girl? I can see the desire you carry in your eyes, the hint of curiosity.” He jokes.
“Fuck you, Bear.” His hand latches around my throat as he leans down, whispering in my ear. “If I wanted to fuck you, Emma, I would have already did it and you would have loved it. Having Ace and I fill you with our cocks, that sweet fresh barely touched pussy would be ruined. But I'm not that guy, and I'm only messing with you.” His hand falls from my neck and he steps around me, walking away.
What in the actual fuck just happened.
I swallow hard, swallowing down that glimpse of arousal that ignites inside me before shoving it down; I won't think of it again.I shake the thoughts in my buzzing mind as I walk to find Ace.
ACE
I'm just about to walk out of my office and Bear barges in, his voice playfully echoing out. “You've got that girl wrapped around your finger.” I turn and face him, meeting his gaze. “I don't know about that.”
“Oh I do!”
“What did you do, Bear?”
“I looked at her tits again; it's kind of fucking hard not to. And then she slammed my ass into the wall, with her hand squeezing the fuck out of my dick, calling me out on my shit.”
I can't help but bark a deep laugh; serves the fucker right, his ass doesn't get overlooked often and my girl did and I fucking love it. But now that she has made it clear. It's time I say my piece on it too. “That's what you get Bear, stop fucking with her.”
“Then tell her to put those delicious looking tits away.”
“Watch it, Bear.” I growl.
“Brother, I haven't had any in months. I'm dying hereand then she walks around here with her bad girl shit and that sexy little body, Fuck!”
“You better just get the fuck over it, this is her fucking house.”
“Then she better get used to me looking because I ain't changing and you know that; just like you know I ain't touching, just like I fucking told her. Though, that desire flashed in her eyes when I said something about it, you got yourself a freak my King.” He holds his hands up, clapping his hands playfully tilting his head, and I fucking loose it.
I've fucking missed this fucker.
Then I get serious with him for a minute, he needs to understand what Emma is to me and I hate bringing this up to him, but, it is what it is. “Bear, she's my Sadie.” His gaze on me deepens, his body goes still in the chair, knowing I just touched a sensitive nerve for him. Sadie is the woman he loved that his uncle killed, thinking she was keeping him from his duties which was not the case at all, but his Uncle had no remorse, no fucking heart, and that is what broke Bear.
So his banter, his games, his no boundaries, it's because he just plum doesn't fucking care anymore, but the people that he trusts, he protects with his life and will do anything for you. He and Emma will soon learn to get the fuck along and she will learn just to ignore his shit.
My office door flies open and Emma walks in looking over at Bear, she rolls her eyes before looking over at me. I can't help but huff a laugh at her eye roll, which causes Bear to stand.
“Are you ready to go?”
Bear walks past her, leaving my office and I shake my head; deep down I'm laughing at this shit, he now knows how I felt when he had Sadie.
We've grown up, had our fun, but that is over now, and it's timewe leave the past in the past.
All of us, all the pain and once we get Luca, we truly can move on, at least until our next threat.
EMMA
