Chapter 293: Revelation on the road...

Lyla

I shifted in Ramsey's lap, my lips never leaving his as his hands gripped my waist. The leather seats of the car creaked beneath us with each movement. After the events at Golden Gates—the healing, the ferals, the revelations—we'd fallen into this strange, intense connection that neither of us could resist.

"We should be there in about two hours," Lenny called from the driver's seat, his voice deliberately loud.

We ignored him. I tangled my fingers in Ramsey's hair as he trailed kisses down my neck. The ring on my finger caught the sunlight streaming through the window, sending tiny rainbow prisms dancing across the car's interior.

His hand grabbed my breast, smoothening my peeking nipples with his thumb. I moan and move against him, loving how his tent was pressing hotly underneath me. Our lips met again, tangling in desperation as we suckled on each other as if there was nectar.

From the front seat came another, low, irritated growl.

Ramsey and I reluctantly broke apart, both breathing heavily. I glanced toward the front, meeting Lenny's annoyed gaze in the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong?" Ramsey asked, his voice still husky.

Lenny's eyes narrowed. "What both of you are doing is very gross. Can you not?" He gripped the steering wheel tighter. "At least with me in the car."

Heat flushed my cheeks, and I shifted away from Ramsey, smoothing my rumpled blouse. "I'm so sorry, Lenny."

Ramsey cleared his throat, adjusting his position to something more dignified befitting a Lycan Leader. "You're just jealous."

"I'm trying to drive without crashing," Lenny muttered.

A slightly awkward silence fell over the car. Ramsey reached for my hand, interlacing our fingers, a compromise between the intimacy we craved and the modesty Lenny demanded.

"You were supposed to pick us up yesterday," Ramsey said, changing the subject. "What held you up?"

Lenny sighed heavily, his broad shoulders tensing under his leather jacket. "The White Mountain Region has been getting an unusual number of visitors since yesterday. Since you weren't around, I had to handle things."

"Visitors?" Ramsey and I echoed simultaneously.

"Is it ferals?" Ramsey asked, instantly alert. "Did they attack again?"
