Well… he hasn’t tossed us out yet, so that’s a start.
I nudged his arm with my head, peering at his screen.
“Bunny?” I asked.
His jaw ticked. “What did I tell you?”
“Not to call you that.”
His silence was answer enough.
I pouted.
Well, hewasBunny. Couldn’t change that.
Dummy.
“So uh… what are you doing?” I prodded.
He shut the laptop, rolling his eyes.
“Whatdo you want?” he asked again.
I took the opportunity to shove the laptop away, replacing it with myself, knees on either side of his thighs as I peered up at him. “Are you settling in?” I asked, daring to place my hands on his chest. Still, he didn’t protest. “I could help, if you needed… anything?”
It didn’t smell much like him in here, which seemed wrong. I reached for a pillow and drew it along my jaw, leaving my frosted moonflower scent in the room.
My gaze flicked back up to him nervously. He was watching me so intently, but he didn’t protest.
That was… good, I thought. Right?
He wasn’t the type who was gonna ask, but if he wasn’t tossing me out on my ass, then that meant he was definitely into it.
At least, so Ithought. His pupils had dilated just a little, following the pillow as I set it back down beside him.
I struggled to stifle my smile, but instead a strangled chirp escaped my chest. He cocked his head, examining me closer, but I swear his pupils were even wider.
Oh, he wants it, Bunny.
He wants us in here.
In his room.
He’d never let me scent mark anything in his territory before.
What did it mean?
I gently pressed my hand back to his bare chest, feeling that unfamiliar elation at how his skin felt against mine. He caught my wrists, though, lifting them and forcing my weight back.
I tried to fight the pout, but I don’t think I did a very good job.
“Aren’t you disobeying Knox?” he asked dryly.
Oh damn.
Had Knox told him I was banned?
Of course he had, the territorial fuck. But that was good. They were fighting over me.
