She burst like a bonfire in my chest, all chaotic energy tangled with lust and guilt that knocked me on my ass.
I collapsed backward, holding her tightly. My brain cells weren’t interested in working right now, but the little survival alarm bells in the back of my mind were clanging. I was supposed to notice something, but then Riley’s hips moved and all those worries melted away.
Oh. Fuck.
Oh,fuck.
Cooper was going to kill me. Hell, Riley might kill me too. Dakota and Levimightbe more reasonable, but goddamn, they were going to be pissed too.
Sowhydid it feel so fucking good?
I’d fucked Riley in the back of my truck until dawn had skirted the edges of the horizon, until her skin had finally cooled, and she’d dropped into an exhausted sleep. I wished I could sleep too. But no. The brain cells were un-tranqed and I was fully fucking aware that the chaotic, cozy burn in my chest wasRiley.
My new bondmate.
I had to savor these blissful moments because the second she woke up it was probably going to be open season on Cash. In my defense, I didn’t know she was going to have some sort of weird heat flare. And I super fucking didn’t know how helpless I’d be when she sank her pretty little teeth into me.
She cuddled so sweetly against me, sprawled over my chest, my cock still nestled in her warmth. I listened to her slow breathing, watched the rise and fall of her back, feeling smug as hell each time she shifted and started purring.
This was fine.
Well, itcouldbe fine.
Maybe.
It would probably depend on how hard she freaked out when she realized she was stuck with me.
My purr rumbled.
No. This wasnotthe time for purring. Except…I wasn’t going to be stuck with her.Withher, yes, but definitely notstuck.
Riley stirred, groaning softly, her face rooting around until it planted against my throat. One big huff of me got her purr going again.
“You awake?” I whispered.
Another groan. “More sleep.”
“I should get you home.”
“Sleeeep.” She clung harder to me.
“Honey bun, I wouldloveto let you sleep, but it’s gonna be sunrise soon and we are very naked in my truck bed. If we don’tget back to the ranch, there’s a good chance someone’s going to get an unintended eyeful of your gorgeous ass.”
She lifted her ruffled head, hair in every direction from a night of getting fucked, just visible in pre-dawn glow. My heart squeezed over how beautiful she was.
“Happy birthday.” I pulled her into a kiss that she readily melted for.
She smiled against my mouth, drifting to the side to kiss my cheek before sitting all the way up in my lap. “Guess we celebrated this one with a bang.”
Riley stretched, showing off every curve I’d had the pleasure of touching, my body instantly ready to take her apart again.
She laughed softly, rocking her hips. “Didn’t get enough of me overnight?”
“Bold of you to assume it’s possible toeverget enough of you.”
Nerves twisted my gut as I watched her wake up and start noticing what was different. Her brows pinched together, fingertips sliding between her breasts where they paused, the same spot on her where I felt the bond in me.
Riley’s gaze flicked up to meet mine.
