his thoughts. Answering it, he sat back down in the chair behind his desk.
“Yes?”
“Sir, it appears that Sinclair’s pack and Crimson pack have Andy and a few others at a holding cell downtown.”
“Is it accessible, Barvon?”
“I believe so. We will have to wait until tonight to make a move.”
“Good, take care of it, and get Andy back.”
Stratton hung up the phone, then leaned back in his chair. Time was of the essence, and the more people talked about what had occurred last week, the more information would leak out about Lexi.
He needed her identity to remain hidden, but he also needed to know where the searchers were. The closer they got to this realm, the less of a chance he had of mating her before they could stop him.

Chapter 8
Lexi felt the heat of her own breath against her mouth and nose.
She smelled the familiar musky scent and realized her mouth was wedged up against Saber’s neck. Opening her eyes, she saw his skin and that his eyes remained closed. Their bodies were entwined despite her broken limb and the annoying cast that presently lay across Saber’s large waist. The man was monstrously big compared to her.
One squeeze from just his finger could potentially cause damage.
She took a deep breath, absorbing the intimacy of his embrace and how comfortable she felt. She was at ease, and that was enough to undo her. She was smarter than this. Staying here wasn’t a possibility.
She needed to get back to New York, grab her cash, and be gone. No need to make any connections, no sense in starting relationships and ultimately no feelings of loss.
She needed to slip away from him, get dressed in some warm clothing because of the colder temperatures, and sneak out before his brothers returned. It was better this way. She had to keep them safe and wouldn’t bring trouble toward their family.
Inching backwards, she got a half a centimeter away when Saber’s arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her body flush against his own. His warm hand flattened against her backside while his thumb caressed her tailbone.
Placing her cast against his chest, she tried to pry her other arm free.
“Stay put. I’ll tell you when it’s time to get out of this bed,” he grunted with his eyes closed.

This time she growled at his order. “Let me go,” she demanded, pushing harder against the stone wall of his chest.
A second later, he rolled her to her back and straddled her hips while his forearms encased her face and neck.
Locking gazes with the devilishly handsome maniac, she gave him the evil eye.
He smirked. “You’re kind of cute when you’re mad.”
“Get off of me, Saber.”
“And recalcitrant to boot,” he retorted, then smirked.
She ground her teeth and practically snarled at him. He didn’t seem affected at all.
She struggled unsuccessfully to get free. She was nearly out of breath when she spoke. “In order for a person to be recalcitrant, they would have to be under someone’s control. I, sir, am not under anyone’s control and do not have to take orders from you.” Lexi attempted to use her cast as a weapon until Saber rubbed his hips and groin against her mound. Despite the layer of clothing, her body immediately responded to his impressive package.
Saber sat up, but remained straddling her hips. She could feel his weight. Although he was holding back, she still knew he could crush her if he wanted to.
When she locked gazes with him, she saw the determination in his eyes and something else. It was something she hadn’t seen yesterday or the days before that, but it was unnerving. He had been mean-looking despite his handsome features. His eyes looked somber and dull, but now, now they sparkled ever so slightly, and she wondered why. The way he held her and covered her body gently with his own was possessive and part of her wanted to fight that need while a deeper part inside her wanted more of him.
