“Yeah, I will. But tomorrow, I’m not spending another night away fromyou.” I tipped her head back and kissed her softly, hoping it would distract her from dwelling on what my little chat with The Stag might actually turn out like.

“Okay. Does that mean we can go home now?” she said when Idragged my mouth away from her. She looked and sounded exhausted, a combination of the alcohol and the adrenaline from the turn of events in the last hour.

“Yeah, baby, let's go.”

Reluctantly, I released her from my arms. She slowly stood andlooked around the room before she turned back to look at me, a vision of beauty with her just fucked hair and her tired eyes.

“Can I have my panties back?” she asked.

I gave her a wicked grinand her brows raised in question.“No. I want you bare.”

She huffed in exasperation and I silently dared her to challenge me. “Fine, I need a minute to clean myself up.”

I grabbed her hips again and pulled her to me, using a finger to tilt herchin up so she had no choice but to look at me.

“No, you don’t. I want you to walk through that club holding my hand,my come dripping between your thighs. I want everyone to see who you belong to,” I whispered in her ear.

Her eyes widened in surprise and her cheeks flushed red withembarrassment but she didn’t refuse.

As we walked through the club hand in hand, I had a moment ofworry knowing I was being reckless by putting Riley on display, letting the world see that she belonged to me. But I dismissed the thought, I had zero fucks to give.

Riley was mine and I would protect her with everything I had.

Chapter 27

Riley

Thefollowingmorning,Iwoke up to find Kai lifting my leg and drapingit over his body as he lay behind me. He plunged his thick cock inside me and fucked me from behind slowly.

The man was insatiable, not that I was complaining.

It was sweet, blissful torture as he took his time to draw out myorgasm. Afterwards, we lay in his huge bed wrapped up in each other’s arms, his hand softly running up and down my back as my fingers danced lightly over his chest.I ached all over but in a good way. My ass was tender from where hespanked me, and I had love bites and bruises covering my neck, chest, and thighs from where he had marked me as his again and again after we arrived home from Sapphire.

I sighed in contentment, happy and satisfied for the first time in aslong as I could remember.

Of course, it was never going to last.

“I need to go and deal with The Stag,” Kai eventually said, soundingresigned at the fact he was going to have to drag himself away from our little bubble.He dropped his arms and gently rolled me off his chest before pullinghimself out of bed. I took the opportunity to admire his gorgeous body, every single one of his muscles were sculpted to perfection, his skin a light golden brown and with that wolf tattoo on his back, fuck, he really was something else. I could have spent hours staring at his body, or running my hands over it, or better yet, my tongue…

“If you keep looking at me like that, Riley, the only thing that will getdone is you,” he growled, his eyes hooded as he raked them over my naked body.

“You make that sound like it’s a bad thing,” I replied, giving him mybest seductive smile, and running my hands over my breasts, hoping like hell he would change his mind and jump back into bed again.

I should have known better though.Kai grabbed my arms and pulled me to my knees, my naked bodypressed firmly against his solid torso. The way he handled me was possessive and demanding, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

He wound his hand into the back of my hair and held me in placewhile he gave me a rough kiss, his tongue invading my mouth and battling with mine. He groaned but pulled away from me, much to my dismay.

“I’d love nothing more than to spend the day fucking you in every holeuntil you can’t walk.” Holy hell, did his wicked words make my entire body clench with need. “But I need to get to the bottom of why that prick was in my club and deal with him.”

The venom in his voice when he spoke of Toby doused the fireburning within me, and the reality of last night hit me like a ton of bricks.

I’d put the whole thing with Toby to the back of my mind, distracted byall the orgasms Kai had given me, but now the cold reality hit me. He was going to hurt Toby, or probably kill him.

And I couldn’t allow that.

For whatever reason Toby was in the club, he’d still been the one tohelp me all those years ago, and I wouldn’t stand back and let Kai do what he clearly intended on doing, especially knowing Toby now had a little girl to take care of.

Perhaps I was being a bit naïve, but maybe Toby had an innocentreason for being in the club, maybe him being there really was a coincidence.
