Page 11 of Nanny for the Wolf Daddy

“Not a brandy girl?”

Kelli’s tongue slipped between her lips, and Nox nearly passed out. She was so delicious, and he desperately needed a taste.

“Whiskey usually,” she said, picking up the glass again to give it a sniff.

He leaned in closer when she closed her eyes, stealthily breathing in her arousing scent. He felt like a trespasser, but she was just so alluring he was losing his mind with desire for her.

“I’m serious about the nanny thing, you know,” Nox said.

Kelli opened her eyes, those ocean blues looking a little startled. Maybe because he was slowly moving closer to her, his hand resting on her thigh, his breath a mere few inches away.

“If that’s what you really want,” she whispered. “Did you ever want children of your own?”

Madness took over, and Nox grabbed her glass, placed it on the table, and raised a single finger to Kelli’s chin. She gazed at him, her eyes shining like two dark pools he longed to drown in.

“Yes,” he murmured, eyes wandering over her pretty face. “Yes, I do.”

Nox moved his mouth toward hers, and he was beyond buzzing to find that she did not pull away or resist him. Slowly, their lips touched in a soft, powerful collision of forces that quickly evolved into a fervent and untamed tangle of desire.

She opened her mouth for him first, grabbing his hair and pulling him closer, welcoming his tongue as he growled beside her aching body. He ran his hands over her legs, feeling their heat, ready to rip her clothes from her form with his teeth if he had to.

She moaned beneath him, making his dick hard as stone.

“Nox, we can’t,” she said, nearly whimpering.

Nox’s lips wandered her neck, her skin even softer than he had imagined. Then he froze and sat up on the couch.

He furrowed his brow, then removed his hands from her body, which were crawling up to her generous breasts for an inspection.

“Fuck,” he muttered. “I’m sorry.”

She was lying on the couch, tracing her lips with her fingers. She appeared hot and heavy for him, but there was clearly something stopping her from letting herself take him on.

“I, um,” Nox said, rising from the couch and trying to hide his erection. “I’m so sorry, Kelli. I will head to bed now. So sorry.”

He raced out of the lounge and didn’t look back. She had still been sitting there, her legs parted open and her clothing in disarray, but he didn’t want her to be unsure about him before they joined bodies. If they had sex, she would mean more to him than he would to her due to the whole fated mate business.

When he scolded himself in his bedroom, he was starting to think that maybe that might already be the case.

KELLI

She fully intended to hold Nox to his word from last night. She’d slept on it and figured it was actually a pretty brilliant idea. If he wasn’t willing to find a nanny to do the work for her, she might as well train him how to take care of the child. Besides, it would be good for him. It would help him bond with Violet.

Kelli stood in the hallway listening to him on the phone. He was sending more of his pack members to search for Archie, the suspect in his brother’s disappearance. She’d tried waving him down, but he wasn’t watching. His mind was focused entirely on his call.

His mission was important, but Violet also needed someone to pay her attention as well. She was a toddler, after all, and they didn’t wait.

He paced back and forth and kept nodding over and over. She glanced at her watch, seeing that it was close to the time that Violet would be getting up. She waited an extra second, trying once more to flag him down. He didn’t notice.

Well, if he wasn’t going to come to the toddler, she would take her to him. She turned down the hallway, finding Violet just waking from her sleep. She gave her a soft smile and hoisted her out of the crib.

Her diaper was full, and she was starting to whine because she wanted her breakfast. Usually, she’d be quick and tend to her needs, but she was going to get Nox involved. So, she went down the hallway and stepped into his office.

Nox turned, giving them a look, and nodded. “Yes, keep me posted on what’s going on. Yes, sounds good.” He hung up as she pulled Violet up, placing her into Nox’s arms. After giving Nox a hug, the little girl pointed at Kelli’s chest and exclaimed, “Kelli boobies.”

His face shifted, and his eyes grew wide instantly. She watched his nose scrunch up, and the smell of her diaper was strong. She acted like she couldn’t tell and gave him a smile. She could feel her face redden at Violet’s comment and just needed to get out of there immediately before he could say something about it. “I think you have this.”
