apart, but still… “When you get a mate, and I hope that’s soon, then you can talk to me about her safety. Until then, butt out.”
Micah held both hands in the air and pursed his lips. He still grinned, but at least he kept his mouth shut.
“Well, I for one have a mate. And I’ve been in your shoes, Jax, and I have to agree with Micah. Let’s find a way to make this work instead of stomping our foot and pouting.” Serg sat back down.
“I’m not pouting. I’m—”
“Scared,” Sergius finished. “I know. I get it. Sit.” He nodded toward the couch and waited until Jaxon had resumed his spot, Brianna at his side.
Jaxon even handed her back the glass of wine she’d set on the end table.
Sergius resumed his speech. “What if we three take turns spending the day following Brianna in wolf form? It won’t seem strange to anyone for a wolf to be ambling around trying to escape the flames if we are spotted. We’d be able to keep a close eye on her and we’d be sure to scent McKinney if he dared to approach her from any angle. If anything goes awry, all bets are off. Could you agree to that?” Serg turned his gaze to Bri.
“Seems reasonable to me,” she murmured.
“I don’t like it,” Jaxon began, “but I suppose it’s better than nothing.”
“Great. Then it’s settled. Jaxon, you take the first shift. You can drive her to work and then not come home. Keep us posted on your location and we’ll step in when you need us.” Serg stood again. “Now let’s get some dinner. I’m starving.”
Brianna was exhausted. By the time the five of them rustled together a meal of hamburgers, fries and salad she was dead on her feet. Undoubtedly caused by the stress of the day, multiple orgasms and mind-blowing sex. Oh, and let’s not forget mating with a werewolf and being stalked by a vampire. No wonder I’m tired.
“Jax, I need to get up by about five to get to the base on time. Do you mind if I go to bed?” She leaned on him from her spot at the table.
“Of course.” He stood, tugging her up with him. “’Night all.”
Brianna was grateful for the quick exit. As aroused as she’d been earlier before all the commotion in the living room, she was too tired now to even consider letting Jaxon start something.
As they entered his bedroom she headed straight for his luxurious bed. “Could I have a rain check on whatever idea you had in mind for my limp body this evening?” She tipped her head up to him as he peeled her shirt over her head. Her arousal spiked, but she was too tired to give in to it. Even as Jaxon stripped the rest of her clothes, she simply watched him.
Jaxon smiled and nodded at the bed. “Sleep. When this all blows over, we’ll spend several days not coming out of the bedroom and I’ll show you all my tricks.” He wiggled his eyebrows as he approached her.
With her eyes half open, she slid under the covers. She watched him drop his pants, tug on a pair of shorts and climb into the bed beside her. He gathered her body against his own and spooned her. When he smoothed her hair away from her face and kissed her temple she relaxed into his touch. “How did I get so lucky?”
“Fate, my love. And I’m the lucky one.” With that, Brianna drifted into the deepest sleep she could ever remember, wrapped snugly in the arms of the man who claimed he would be at her side for the rest of her life.
Chapter Nine
Brianna was so warm. And naked. Wrapped in a perfect cocoon, her back against a hard male body, she snuggled deeper to enjoy the bliss. A large rough hand splayed over her stomach and rubbed against her skin. She pleaded with the god of dreams to let her stay in this state of perfection for as long as possible before her alarm went off. Since when did she have such erotic dreams?
The hand caressing her wandered up her torso to encompass a breast and knead the soft globe. She moaned in satisfaction and pushed her chest out to get more purchase against those
