beauty!” He stood up and gathered her into his arms, and she leaned into him. She loved the way that he smelled, so earthy and masculine.
“Do you want the good news, or the bad news?” he asked. “Actually, it’s all good news.”
“I guess I’ll hear the good news first, then,” she said, circling his waist with her arms.
“Barron had to leave for a couple of days to clear up some family business. And we can’t tell anyone about it, because he had to sneak out, with Karlie’s help.”
“How is that good news?” she was bewildered.
“Because that means I get you all to myself. I’ll have to be twice the Alpha I ever was, but I’m up to the challenge. And when Barron comes back, all of this family business will be cleared up for good, and we can tell you about it, and get on with our lives.”
“But-” Mackenzie started to protest, but Ajax bent down and claimed her lips in a hungry, passionate kiss. She felt warm ripples of desire running through her body.
“What were you saying?” he asked.
“Well, I just- ” But he kissed her again, leaving her breathless.
Then he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder like a fireman, and stalked off towards the bedroom. “I know just what will take your mind off my dear brother,” he said, and gently set her down on the bed.
She wanted to protest. Wanted to demand that he fill her in on what was going on right now . She didn’t like being kept in the dark, and there was something her men weren’t telling her. But he looked so delectable as he crawled onto the bed with her, the muscles in his arms and chest shifting with each movement, that all common sense fled her mind. When he quickly and efficiently stripped off her pajamas, flinging them away so they dangled absurdly from the lampshade above the bed, she was completely lost. It was hard to think about serious things when faced with Ajax’s boisterous and seriously sexy charm.
They knelt up together in the center of the bed, swaying gently together as they kissed. Ajax’s tongue darted playfully been her lips and she nipped at his mouth with her teeth, making him laugh. Mackenzie fumbled urgently with Ajax’s fly, unzipping him and wrapping her fingers around the hot, hard length of his shaft. He twitched in her palm and she giggled. “I think he likes me,” she said, and Ajax moaned his agreement and tumbled them both over backward so that Mackenzie landed solidly on top of him. She tried to draw away but he wrapped his arms around her and held her against him, grinning like a fool.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he growled, a wicked glint in his eye. “The Big Bad Wolf is going to eat you up.”
She squeezed again. “Yes please,” she said. “And what a big –”
He cut her off with a brief kiss. She wriggled against him, working her hand between their bodies to grasp his dick more firmly. His smile faded as passion clouded his eyes, and she lowered her mouth to his and kissed him, lapping at his lips until they parted then stroking his tongue with hers until his hands came up and tangled in her curls. He moaned into her mouth and jerked his hips up against her, seeking the delicious friction of her hand. Her clit gave a sympathetic throb and tingling waves of sensation swept up and down her spine.
She pulled back and gave him a wicked grin, then started to move down his body, opening the buttons on his shirt as she went and parting the fabric so she could see the ridges and planes of his muscular chest. The strength and heat of his flesh was intoxicating; the slight crinkle of hair beneath her palms. He was so responsive to her touch. She sucked one flat brown nipple into her mouth, swirling her tongue around it and making him
