Babysitting The Amnesiac Lycan King

Chapter 80

Okay, I don't regret it anymore.

I practically launch myself into the jet, barely resisting the urge to sprint from one end to the other like a lunatic.

97%

The sheer size of it is enough to make my jaw unhinge. Private jets are supposed be small, right? Cozy? This thing could probably house an entire village and still have room for an in-flight spa.

"Are you seriously just standing there?" I whip around to glare at Enoch, who is leaning against the entrance, watching me with that lazy, amused smirk that makes me want to both slap him and kiss him senseless.

He lifts a brow. "I'm enjoying the show."

"Unbelievable," I mutter, turning back to the sheer insanity that is his jet. There's an actual lounge area. Plush leather seats, a bar that looks like it belongs in a five-star hotel, and-holy shit.

I yank open the fridge, expecting the usual sad airplane food, maybe some bottled water if I'm lucky. Instead, I'm greeted with an array of gourmet snacks, high-end champagne, and what has to be the most luxurious case of ice cream I've ever

seen.

I stare at it for a solid five seconds before turning to Enoch. "What the fuck is this?"

"A fridge," he answers dryly, stepping closer.

I gesture wildly. "No, this-this is rich people nonsense. Who the hell has a

selection of imported ice cream flavors on their jet?"

He hums, now directly behind me. "People who like ice cream?"

"Ugh," I groan, still not over it. "This is insane. You're insane."

I'm reaching for one of the tubs when a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist, yanking me back against a very solid, very warm body. A familiar one.

"Okay, that's enough exploring," Enoch mutters into my ear, his voice low and rough. "I require your attention."

I huff, still staring at the fridge. "I just need to process the fact that your freezer section is worth more than my entire life savings."

He buries his face in my neck, inhaling deeply, his grip on me tightening. "Taryn."

A shiver skates down my spine at the way he says my name-gritted, needy, full of that dangerous possessiveness that always,threatens to undo me. I exhale sharply. "Yeah?"

"Look at me."

I turn in his hold, my hands instinctively finding his chest, feeling the steady, heavy beat of his heart. His eyes burn into mine, dark forest and laced with something heady, something that makes my stomach flip.

My fingers skim up, tracing the sharp line of his jaw, feeling the faint stubble there. "You need to shave."

"You need to stop ignoring me." His hands slide lower, gripping my waist, thumbs stroking over my skin through my shirt.

I grin, dragging my nails lightly through his hair, watching his eyelids droop slightly

at the sensation. "I'll give you all the attention you want when we land."

His eyes narrow slightly, his hold on me tightening. "No."
