Chapter 65
I grab her a ss and lift her up. Her legs wrap around my waist.
I sit her on the dining room table.
Her hands are pulling at my shoulders, tugging at my hair. She wants me close, close, closer. I get it. I do.
I’d have us na ked and f**king too right now, but I’m not so mindless in this moment as she is.
Just the fact that I can roll her back under, wash away her resistance like a storm coming over the mountains…that.
That’s enough for me.
I’ll have her body too.
She talked about Jessica being pregnant.
But it is Leah.
Come h ell or high water, Leah will have my baby.
I’ll make sure of it.
Abruptly, the doors to this grand dining room slide open again. There is a muffled gasp. Then a voice yells, “Are you f**king kidding me!?”
Liam trudges back into the room. He drops a tray of food on the table. The cups rattle.
There’s a pot of coffee. A plate of toast.
Two dishes with scrambled eggs and some burnt bacon.
As far as breakfast goes, this is a pretty pitiful spread.
Leah scrambles out of my arms and sits back down. “T-thank you, Liam. I’m hungry.”
“So I saw,” he says drily.
She blushes bright red and I stalk her brother. “Don’t you dare shame my wife.”
I’m deadly calm.

But Liam has to know… he has no power now.
My pack can crush his. And through my marriage to Leah, I have direct access to everything he owns. Everything I haven’t bought up already, that is.
“Aaron!” Leah yells. “Please. Stop.”
She wrings her hands.
“It’s been a long night. Can we just have a bite to eat? Then I’d really like to go to sleep. Ok?”
I nod reluctantly. I glance at the food. I’m not eating that sh it.
Another thought occurs to me and I call my wolf to the surface. My eyes flash yellow, sharpening my vision. Fur sprouting on my forearms.
“Aaron?” Leah’s eyes widen with alarm.
I sniff the food. I don’t detect any obvious poisons or toxins. But… “Eat some,” I tell Liam. “A bite of each thing.”
“You’re serious!?” Liam is incredulous.
“Deadly serious.”
“Aaron!” Leah looks horrified.
“Are you actually implying that I would poison my own sister? You sonofabitch!”
Leah slaps a hand on my chest. “That’s uncalled for, Aaron. Stop.”
