Gen laughed. “Oh, I don’t think he’d have gotten away with pummeling a police officer, and it’s looking like I may have.” She turned and looked at him to add, “Besides, I’m thinking this was my mess to clean up, since it was my ex making life difficult for them.”
Duke didn’t confirm or deny her statement, but touched her cheek and said, “We need to have a meeting, you can stay here and talk to the women, or wait for me in the back.” He pulled her to him, put his mouth to her ear. “He touched you. You smell like him. My wolf would like for you to take a shower and put on the shirt I was wearing earlier, so you’ll smell like me when I join you in bed.”
Gen knew all the wolves could hear him, that their conversation hadn’t been private, and her face burned hot again in embarrassment. However, she just smiled and nodded, and turned towards the back hallway.
“Duchess!” Brain yelled as she neared the door. She turned to look at him and he said, “You’ve just disgraced the detective who compiled most of the proof they had against us. My guess is their case is shit now, and our attorney will make it clear any proof gained before or after today’s date will be called into question because they had an officer taking illegal surveillance of the club’s president talking to his girlfriend in bed. You have nothing to clean up. You did good, Babe.”
“Yeah she did,” said Bash, and then another half dozen of the men agreed, too.
Gen looked at Duke, who didn’t say anything, and she closed her eyes to turn back towards the hallway.
“Gen?” Duke finally said.
She turned and met his gaze, refusing to look down or flinch, and he said, “We’re good, Beautiful. I just need to get the sight of his hands on you out of my head. Okay?”
She smiled, grateful he explained, and went to get Mike’s smell off of her in Duke’s tiny little stand-up shower.
She was soaped up when he came in, and she jumped as he reached a hand in and grabbed the soap. “Hands on the wall, Gen.”
Her eyes met his a brief second, she saw the wolf peeking out, and turned and did as he said. She wasn’t afraid of him, but didn’t have the nerve to tell him no right now, either.
He washed her back, then her bottom, and she yelped as his fingers went into her crack. His other hand pushed her chest into the wall as soapy fingers touched her bottom hole, as if he were making sure it was clean, and she squealed as she tried to get away.
His hands left her and he said, “Okay, now you’re clean. Make sure you rinse well, Beautiful.”
Gen came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, but when she went to the drawer with his shirts, he said, “No. Come here.”
She walked to him, but said, “Would it hurt to say please, every once in a while?”
He smiled and reached for her, tugging her onto the bed as he said, “Come here, please.”
His face grew serious and he said, “One more comment on tonight, and then I’m done.”
She nodded and he told her, “I never bothered to look into your ex because he was gone before I arrived on the scene. In the future, Beautiful, anyone in your life who’s a cop? Would be good for you to bring to my attention.” He shook his head. “Asshole’s been a thorn in our side and I didn’t have a clue why.”
“I’m sorry, Duke. If I’d known…” She sighed. “All I can say is I’m sorry, and I did my best to fix it.”
His smile told her everything was going to be okay. “You did awesome tonight, Gen. I’m always gonna put someone on you if I think my life is spilling onto yours, but I like knowing you can take care of yourself, if push comes to shove. You’re such a little thing, but once you set your mind to something, nothing stops you.”
He reached to the side table and picked up a glass… something. “This is called a butt plug, and it’s one of the smaller sizes available. I bought it brand new, just for you.”
Gen shook her head as her eyes went from the depraved glass object to his eyes. “You suck at gift giving. I have a BFF, I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to assist you if you need help in the future.”
Duke put it in her hand and wrapped her fingers around it. “As much as I adore Bethany, something tells me you don’t really want her helping me buy our sex toys.”
“Duke!”
He flipped her over on the bed, his lips angling to hers as he chuckled, but the sparkle in his eyes turned dark as the kiss intensified, and Gen’s eyes closed as Duke once again overwhelmed every one of her senses.
He’d scared her a little with the plug, and yet she wanted him, wanted whatever was going to happen. He hadn’t hurt her yet, and she’d enjoyed everything he’d done… even his not letting her orgasm had been a little hot, if she were honest.
