Ramsey

I leaned against the wall outside of Miriam’s room, trying to hide the tent in my pants…the only thing that had stopped me from taking Lyla right there and now was because of Miriam. If we had been alone.

Lax growled with need within me, and I blocked him off. He’d make things worse. Sighing, I pushed myself away from the wall, adjusting my clothing to hide my bulge, hoping I’d walk out the rest. I was going to go see my grandfather and inform him of the victory today, but I needed to take care of a few things in my den.

So, I headed there instead.

I hurried into my office, shutting the door behind me with a soft sigh. My mind was still buzzing with the thoughts of Lyla–the way her breast had felt against my chest, how soft and pliant she had been in my arms. The scent of her hair nuzzled my senses, sending another warm electric thrill through my body.

“She belongs to another man…” I muttered under my breath. “She belongs to someone else.”

“Ramsey!”

A voice called out, startling me and interrupting my thoughts. My eyes flew open only to see Cassidy at the window, her lithe frame silhouetted against the soft afternoon light. I pulled myself to i

“Not this, Cass!” I sighed, moving away from her to my desk. I still had the bulge. “I literally just. came back from a fight.

“Then why am I smelling her on you?”

I arched a brow.

“Lyla!” she pointed out. “I can smell her on you and I heard you spent almost thirty minutes with her locked up in this den. Guess what, when I came here, her scent was everywhere, meaning it was not a lie.

I sighed. “I don’t know why you always feel the need to watch me. Yes, Lyla was in my office for a while, but it was for a different reason and not what you think. Didn’t we talk about using the pack staff to spy on me? I don’t like it.

“I wouldn’t have to do that if you gave me reasons to trust you. she folded her arms and tilted. her head, her dark hair catching the light. “Why was she here, Ramsey? Tell me the truth, I swear I won’t get mad. I’ve seen worse with you.
