A predatory half-smile curled Inila’s mouth up in one corner and her eyes swirled with colored lights. “Are you saying you owe me, kitty cat?”
“Fuck no.” Kit held his ground, refusing to back down. “I can appreciate your business acumen without indebting myself to you.”
Inila winked at him.“Be back in Vegas next month for a week. I’ll have everything ready for you, all your costumes and a hotel room will be provided.”
“My show with you was a one night only thing, Inila.” Rhiannon leaned back against his chest, her voice cool and calculating. “You’ll send me an updated contract and I’ll sign after we’ve come to an agreement on the terms.”
Kit had never seen this side of his mate before. He liked it. His cock hardened as he listened to the women banter back and forth over percentages, merchandising, and things like distribution rights.
Tristan approached him and stood on his left. “I’ve always found smart women incredibly sexy.”
“Hmm.” What was this wolf getting at?
“When you come back to Vegas, make sure you and Rhiannon visit us. We’re going to miss her.”
“Who said we’re not going to stay in town?” Kit would go where ever his mate desired. Colton wasn’t so old he couldn’t continue on as alpha, and West, the clan’s third, could step in to help fill Kit’s role.
“Me. I say. I am so done with Vegas. I can travel back here for shows.” Rhiannon deliberately moved so her ass rubbed across his erection. “When are you supposed to be back home with your clan?”
“A few days from now, but there’s no reason I can’t stay longer. Don’t forget, it’s our clan.” Rhiannon did have a career here, and he didn’t want her to give up her life just to please him. He would not force his mate to leave her work behind. “You’re a cougar now.”
“It’s so weird to have her running around in my head. The cougar. She doesn’t think the same way I do.” Rhiannon leaned her head on his bicep. “Right now she’s making a lot of noise about finding a cave and going to sleep. Wanna go home with me and crawl into bed?”
Blood pooled in his groin. “Mmm...the last time we were in bed together, we didn’t sleep much.”
Lust sizzled along their bond. “I can’t think of a better way to help me fall asleep besides four or five or ten huge, screaming orgasms.” His very sexy, very tempting mate grabbed his ass with one hand. “When we wake up we can start packing my apartment. I can’t wait to move.”
Had he heard her right? Kit cradled her head in his hands, soft strands of hair twining around his fingers. “You’re sure you want to move? What about dancing? Your friends here?” Moving closer together in increments until they touched from chest to shins, Kit searched her expression for any hint of misgiving or doubt and came up lacking. “You don’t have to do that. I’ll make it work with Colton.”
Rhiannon rose on her tip toes to kiss him. “I’ve been half planning it for months and was resolved to pull the trigger as soon as I had this crap with Mancini sorted out. I miss the lush mountains and evergreen trees. Lakes so cold you could lose toes swimming in them.” Cougar gold flared in her irises. “It’s time for me to start a new adventure.”
“Our adventure.” Kit leaned down, took her lips with his, and grabbed her ass. He lifted her up so she could twine her legs around his waist. Their tongues twined around each other, a sensual promise of ecstasy. Biting her lip, he retreated enough to stare into her gaze. “Ten screaming orgasms, huh?”
“For starters.” She grazed his neck with her teeth, her green eyes alight with love and desire. “I hope you’re ready for that private dance.”
“Baby, I can’t wait for a private dance.” Striding through the bar toward the employee entrance to the back rooms, he purred low in his throat. “If we have to, we can kick Jase and Avrie out of that walk in freezer.”
Rhiannon threw her head back and laughed. The mate bond whipped around and between them in a frenzy, lit up with the best kind of magic in the universe.
Love.
