Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Landon held her tightly, his pine-scented pheromones wrapping around her like a drug.

If this kept up, she was afraid she might really lose control.

Tessa gently pushed him away.

Landon looked down at her and asked softly, "So? Sleep well?"

Tessa shook her head.

"I want to sleep a little longer. If you've got things to do, go take care of them. Let's have lunch together later, okay?"

Landon probably hadn't gotten much rest either.

And S didn't seem like someone easy to break.

Landon really hadn't slept much. After the interrogation, he immediately deployed cleanup crews to raid the drug sites S had exposed, and coordinated everything else that followed.

He hadn't wrapped things up until just before dawn.

"I'm done with everything. Didn't sleep well last night either. How about we sleep a little more together?" Without waiting for her answer, he scooped her up in his arms and headed for the bed.

Tessa yelped in surprise as he laid her down. She watched nervously as Landon climbed into bed beside
