I swung my fist out at Lex, who for some reason knew what I was going to do and disappeared in his shadows and smoke before reappearing again just outside of hitting distance. Dick.
We all heard a close howl in the distance, and Lex tutted out, “Oh, he has been searching for you, my rose. You better get going or else he is going to catch you.”
She glared at him for a second before blowing him a kiss, winking at me, and zooming off.
I slumped to the ground, staring at where she was just at with my dick out and weeping at the loss of our mate. We wanted her back, now!
Lex patted me on the back, which I slapped at him and scrambled to get up as I tucked my dick back in. “Yeah, no, Lex. I don’t care how cool you are about it, I'm not talking to you with my dick out and no Rayla.”
He laughed one of his crazy I-don't-care laughs, and I knew my words went in one ear and out the other. He suddenly stopped and turned to me with a serious face. “What did you get her for a present?”
“I got her a . . . wait! No, I’m not telling you! You will just have to be surprised later.”
He giggled like a kid and rolled his eyes. “Fine. Be that way. Some eskimo brother you are.”
Walking in the direction she went, he shook his head, and I felt the need to respond. I should've known better.
“Lex, I distinctly remember all of us telling you not to call us that.”
He showed me his profile as he winked at me with a shrug, his usual make-me gesture, and flicked his hand for me to follow him.
“You know I don't speak idiot.”
I closed my eyes for a second, cursing the universe for the millionth time for making this man my mate brother, and then followed him.
Chapter 7
I was torn betweenwanting to yank Lex’s head off his body or give him a big hug and kiss. While this ache between my legs was annoying and Avery almost got one out of me, I was glad that he interrupted because Ax sounded close, and if he was in wolf form, he would tackle me, and that would ruin everything.
I rolled it around in my head. Praise, punishment, praise, punishment . . . what to do, what to do . . .. I’d figure it out when I had time. Right now, I was trying to dodge a wolf.
I didn't know how I knew, but I could feel that he was close. My spidey senses were going off like a motherfucker, and I alwayslistened to those. Just like when they told me Avery might like to be the one being chased.
Man, that was fucking hot. My body still hummed with excitement at hunting down my fairy prince. I wanted more. I wanted him to try and fly high up in the air, give me a challenge where I would need to dominate him while gravity was being used against me. My body trembled as my imagination took wing.
That was my first mistake.
Before I could figure out what was happening, a flash of fangs and teeth came straight for my neck, so I pivoted, and instead, my arm was caught in the wolf's mouth, dragging me down into the ground.
The burn of teeth slicing skin, rocks digging into my back, and my head slamming into the sparse grass ground would take out any other person but me. I kicked at the wolf, shoving my heel into its rib cage, and it finally let go of my arm, backing up with a growl, just enough for me to get a clear view of this creature.
Fur that was red with honey hues sprinkled all over, a devil may care attitude, and a vicious bite that would be felt way past they were healed . . . this was definitely Ax.
The wolf growled at me as it circled around, putting a paw forward as I took a step back, testing me as I was facing it head on with my hands out. I didn't want to punch my wolf, but I would if I had to.What was a little rough play between lovers?
Lifting my arm, I showed him that my wounds were already healing. “You’re going to have to do a little more damage than that to catch me, wolf.”
His eyes turned into swirling golden pools, his tongue swiped out as he licked his razor-sharp teeth, almost grinning before snarling at me. I laughed. Like, a big belly one, on purpose. I wanted to get this wolf to stop planning and start reacting.
I pretended to wipe my eyes, and I knew my plan had worked. He crouched down, and in two seconds, launched himself at me, going straight for my throat. I dodged, looked behind me, and winked at the wolf's large head swinging my way. “You want me? You gotta catch me,” then I sped off, bouncing between trees and flying over boulders.
I could hear the pounding of his paws, pounding that matched the thumping of my heart that was racing in acceleration. My blood pumping, running wild inside of me, and I almost let out a giddy laughter. This was what it felt like to be alive.
That familiar rush filled my limbs, causing me to run harder, faster. Making me want to keep this chase going on for hours, days. The constant high of the rush filling my mind. That was until I felt a set of paws shove me into the ground.
I fell hard. Slamming into the ground, shooting my hands out in time to prevent a face plant. Anywhere else but my face could get banged up. Cuts and bruises on the face were not sexy
Just as I turned around to face him, paws landed on each side of my head as he growled in my face. I pushed out my hand toshove him off when I was met with a solid rock hard set of pecks. I looked up in time to see Ax shift back. The tips of his shaggy red/brown hair skimming across my face, his hot breath inches from me as his eyes were fixated on mine.
