Page 65 of Chasing Savannah
“We’ll take this slow, right?” Derrick murmured nipping a trail down her neck.
Carlos leaned over her, crowding her space. Her body quivered. He spared no glance at Derrick, knowing seeing the Beta kissing her would snap his control and lose him her rapt attention.
He kissed the corner of her mouth. “We can start with dinner. Surely that’s not so threatening?”
“Just dinner?” Her lips moved against his as she asked.
He ghosted another kiss across her lips. “That’s up to you.”
He wouldn’t lie outright, because if he had his way, he would be talking her into a lot more then dinner.
She nodded. “When?”
“You’re taking Jamie to his father’s this weekend, right? What are you doing Friday night?” He nipped her bottom lip.
Her eyes closed. “I promised Ella we could have a girls’ night.”
He groaned, his daughter was cock blocking and she didn’t even know. “Saturday?” He pushed, trailing his finger down the front of her shirt.
“Okay.” She acquiesced.
He suppressed his growl of joy. He smiled at his co-mate, giving him a fist bump over her shoulder. “Now that that’s settled. On our date, we’ll discuss your tone when speaking to your Alpha.”
“I was mad!” She protested.
Carlos nodded. “Yes, you were, and perhaps this first time I’ll let you go without punishment.”
Her scent deepened, her arousal thick in the air. It seemed his mate liked his dominance, though he was pretty sure she’d never admit it aloud.
“What kind of punishment?” She whispered.
Derrick growled and answered for him, “The kind that ends with you splayed, ass up, over any one of these surfaces.”
Her shuddering breath shook her breasts and he damn near snatched her from Derrick’s arms to make good on that promise. She shook her head, dispelling the thrall he had over her.
“I have to go, I need to call and confirm with Greg.”
He kissed her, delving his tongue into her mouth. Just hearing her speak about another male, so important to her, made him and his cat jealous. Derrick turned her around when he was done and did the same. She moaned and he stepped back. He was seconds from taking the choice from her. She pulled out of Derrick’s arms and shook her head again, her gaze bouncing between them before she turned and left his office.
He and the Beta were silent as they watched her leave, taking her power with her. The office felt cold without it. They both turned to each other and sighed in relief.
“Risky move letting her see her tail.” Derrick exhaled the breath he’d been holding.
“It paid off, didn’t it? Didn’t she storm in here with her Fela power surrounding her, demanding respect?”
“Fucking right. Are you as hard as I from the display of her power?”
Carlos laughed, running a hand through his hair. “I nearly lost it there with my panther for a moment.” He blew out a breath. “If everything goes according to plan, we’ll be able to finally have her this weekend.”
“I can’t wait.” Derrick murmured. “Is it just me, or is her power getting stronger?”
He crossed his arms over his chest. “I noticed it the other night. She’s definitely getting stronger. I’ll ask her grandfather about it first before I bring it to her attention.”
“A few more nights and she’s ours.”
He looked at the door one final time before turning back to Derrick. “I’m sending the Seer over to talk to her. Perhaps she can allay some of her fears.”
“Smart. I’m…taking a shower first, then getting back to work,” Derrick said leaving.
Carlos walked to the window of his office, looking down at the street below. He saw Savannah’s car leave the garage and turn towards her house. Two minutes later, her tail left the garage and followed. Their orders were to be invisible this time, so hopefully his smart mate wouldn’t see them.
He’d apologized to her, but until he knew who was attacking the women in his prowl, there was no way he’d let her go anywhere without security.
He smiled and turned back to his desk. He had work of his own to do, hopefully thoughts of Savannah wouldn’t make that impossible.
