She squirms for a bit before realising it’s useless. My arms wrapped around her warm body, and I could feel her breasts pushing against my chest, her scent driving me and my wolf crazy. I could feel my dick going hard at the thought of having her pushed up against me. Rolling to my side and using my legs, I pull us to a standing position. Not wanting her to know the reaction being close to her gives me. Letting her go, I instantly lose the warmth of her body.
“What, you expect me to go back willingly to my death?” she asks, raising her eyebrow at me. I indicate towards Zane, and her eyes follow before she recognises defeat.
“You weren’t the target. We only needed to distract you to get to Lily, I know you won’t risk endangering her, if we wanted you dead you would be, I only told them to grab you or grab Lily. Nice try though, it was quite entertaining.” She stormed off the train.
“Isn’t she marvellous? I’m so glad we decided to keep her,” says Ryder, obviously impressed.
“Think you mean you decided to keep her. I wanted to kill her, but she is kind of growing on me.”
“Hmm something is definitely growing, and it isn’t her,” he bites back sarcastically. Looking down, I discover a tepee rising in my fucking pants.
“Settle down, Ryder, you filthy dog.” His anger at me calling him a dog made my erect dick instantly go down. Walking back to my car, I reach over and grab a bottle that has a sedative in it. Grabbing a syringe from the first aid kit, I stick the needle in the bottle, drawing some out. Walking back over to Aria, who was having a discussion with Rick over his hurt balls, I jab her in the neck while she is distracted.
A confused expression appears on her face when she notices the syringe. “What?” She falls into me before she mumbles something else that doesn’t make sense. I think she called me a bitch. Picking her up, I inhale her scent.
Little wolf won’t be escaping now, I think to myself. I climb into the car with her sitting across my lap and wait for the driver. The train has pulled away now, and I watch her sleeping body in my arms. Brushing her hair out of her face, I ran my nose against her jaw to her ear then along my mark Ryder gave her. She moved a bit at my touch but didn’t wake. I placed a kiss on her head just as the driver’s door opened and Mitch climbed in the front.
Aria’s POV
Waking up, the bed felt soft, comfortable, and warm. Not like the infirmary bed, which was a rubber mattress with flannelette sheets and thin cover. I was also aware I wasn’t in bed alone. A heavily muscled arm draped lazily over my torso, his body heat seeping into mine from his chest pressed tightly against my back. Turning my head, I looked over at the sleeping Alpha. Must be deep in sleep because he snores like a bloody chainsaw. It was the middle of the night; I could see the moon sitting high in the sky through the windows that wrapped around half the room. Rolling onto my back, I freed one of my arms and lifted his arm that was now placed under my breasts, moving it off my body. I sat up and put my foot on the soft carpet, about to make a run for it.
Looking towards the door, I started to get up when I realised the snoring stopped. Glancing over at him, he was no longer sleeping; his eyes open staring at me. “I wouldn’t. I mean, you can try if it makes you feel better. I will even give you a head start.” He rolled on to his back, closing his eyes.
Getting up swiftly, I darted to the door. I could hear the Alpha laughing behind me. Throwing the door open, I ran out, a cold breeze sending goosebumps all over my body. Looking down, I realised I only had an oversized shirt on that was only just covering my bare arse. Where the fuck are my clothes? Running back into the room, I turned around and glared at the Alpha.
He was sitting up in the bed back propped up against the wooden headboard. Reaching over, he flipped on the lamp that was on the bedside table. “Well, that was quick. Forget something?” He smirked, raising an eyebrow before looking down at my bare legs. Suddenly feeling naked, I tried to pull the shirt down to try to cover my exposed flesh.
“Where are my clothes?” Alpha Reid put his hands up in surrender.
“I promise I didn’t peek, and I thought you would be uncomfortable sleeping in jeans.”
“So, you thought I would be uncomfortable in my underwear as well?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest glaring down at him. His eyes dropped to my legs again. He smiled. Looking down, I realised by crossing my arms, I had hitched the shirt up even higher, nearly exposing myself completely. Quickly ripping the shirt back down, I felt my face heat up.
“I wonder how low your blush goes?” Looking back at the Alpha, his head cocked to the side with a smile on his face. I watched his eyes flicker oddly in the dim room to his wolf before settling back to his normal stormy grey. I stood awkwardly at the door, trying to cover myself and my embarrassment, which he seemed to be enjoying.
“You can have your clothes in the morning,” he said, pulling the blanket back and patting the empty side of the bed.
“I’m not tired. Might have something to do with you knocking me out.”
“Well, I am. Now get in the bed.”
“No, I will go sleep with Lily. Where is she?”
“Why? So you can run the first chance you get? Not happening.” He patted the bed expectantly. Knowing I wasn’t getting anywhere, I walked over to the bed and climbed in. The Alpha tried to pull me closer, but I wriggled out of his grip. One minute he was glaring murderously at me, the next he was almost playful. Why am I in his bed? He wanted nothing to do with me the other day.
