Belle answered with a regal nod of her own.
Gina walked off, accepting the help of the five women who’d stood by her in her attempt to take over the Poconos Pack. No one was sorry to see them go.
Chapter Six
“Remember what I said about the surgery being the stupidest stunt you’ve ever pulled?”
“Yes.” Belle drew her finger down Rick’s chest, knowing what was coming and trying to avert it.
“I changed my mind. That was the stupidest stunt you’ve ever pulled.”
“Did you really think I was going to allow you to abdicate?”
“Did you really think I was going to take Gina as a mate?”
She sighed. “No.”
“Good.”
Rick cuddled her closer, sighing when she squirmed her naked bottom against his rapidly growing erection.
They’d gone straight back to their apartment once they were certain Gina was gone. He’d left her clothes out in the Pack’s meeting place, not even stopping for her boots. He’d just picked her up and carted her off. She was pretty sure he’d said something to the Pack in their heads, because they’d scattered to the four winds. She just didn’t have it in her at the moment to be pissed about it.
The first thing he’d done had been to take his jacket back. He’d bundled her up in the big comforter from their bed (she was really beginning to like the big, loud thing), settled her in front of the fireplace, and proceeded to get naked. He’d pulled her into his lap and held her close for a few moments before apparently deciding she was safe. That was enough to set him off.
“But there was no way I was going to allow you to give up the Pack.”
“Belle.”
“Rick.”
He sighed roughly. “How did you know you’d win?”
“I had a little chat with Jamie before the surgery. He assured me the change itself would be painful, but doable. And, may I say, his new nickname should be Captain Understatement? I thought he meant toothache pain, not tits in a meat grinder pain.”
“You realize you’re not helping, right?”
She looked up at him through her lashes. She kept her fingers moving through his chest hairs, trying to soothe her grumpy Wolf. “It dulled down to an ache once I was done, so he was right about that. After that, it was pretty easy.”
“Easy.”
“Yup.”
He sucked in a deep breath as her fingers wandered over to his nipple and plucked.
“You know what?”
“What, my Luna?”
She looked up from under her lashes again. “There are a whole lot of positions we haven’t tried yet.” She bit her lip, knowing he loved it when she played innocent seductress.
His smile was slow and decadent as his eyes shifted over to brown. “So there are, my Luna.” He picked her up and carried her to the bed. “Lots and lots of positions.” He placed her carefully on top of the covers and opened his bedside drawer. He dropped a book onto the bed and flopped down next to her. She caught a glimpse of the cover and started giggling. “A whole book’s worth.”
She pointed to one of the pictures, still giggling. It showed one man having sex with multiple women. “No way. Don’t even daydream about it.”
He caressed one of her breasts, a happy sigh leaving his lips just before he kissed her. “Don’t worry, my Luna. You’re more than enough for me.” He nipped at her neck. “One pussy is all I can handle.”
He was up and running before the comment fully registered. “Get back here, Dick!” She climbed out of the bed, reveling in the lack of pain as she chased him into the living room.
He laughed, ducking behind the sofa. “Rick!”
“Not after that comment!”
She chased his laugher all over their apartment. He swore later the only reason she caught him was he was dying to get caught.
