Sandy turned to Brock who was on the phone to Zack telling him he might want to get to the station quick.
Sandy stalked to his cousin. “You better not be on the phone to the other idiot. I know who you are, and I’m already not happy with you for several reasons. So if Zack arrives here while I’m trying to kill Jake, you will be next on my list, buster. Come to think of it, I would probably be doing Sammy a favor. One less idiot to deal with.”
Jake cleared his throat. “Little Red, this isn—”
She turned back to him growling. “Don’t you ‘Little Red’ me. I’m not your Little Red.”
Jake glanced around. He didn’t know how long David, Brock, and Kegon could hold off the other officers. Sighing, he picked his mate up and threw her over his shoulder in a fireman’s hold.
Sandy screamed and yelled, “Jake, put me down right know. I mean it. There will be consequences if you don’t. Help me!” She went on and on.
He heard Brock tell everyone “Sorry. As you can see, Jake’s fiancée is a feisty one. She will be right as rain when he talks to her.”
Jake took her to the very back conference room and locked it before placing her on the table in the middle of the room.
Sandy glared at him. “What have you got to say for yourself? Your actions on the weekend got me fired.”
Looking at her rosy cheeks and her hair that was now a mess falling everywhere, Jake couldn’t help himself. He had to have her. “God, you’re beautiful.” He pulled her close and she pushed against him, whining, “No touching. When I touch you or you touch me, I forget why I’m angry at you.”
Jake grinned down at her, and she groaned as his hands trailed under her shirt.
“I hate you right now.”
Jake brushed his lips against hers. “No, you don’t. You love me.”
She moaned as he nipped her neck and ear. “Yeah, well, I hate you right now too.”
He shrugged, not bothered. As long as she loved him, all was right in the world.
“I’m not having sex with you. I’m angry.”
He chuckled against her neck. “Yes, I’m sure everyone in Homicide knows you’re angry.”
She pushed at him. “This is not funny.”
He nodded but he couldn’t stop the laughter shaking his body. “Oh, Little Red, don’t be mad. You’ll find a job really quickly.” He stopped laughing when a sob racked her body.
“I liked that job, and who’s going to hire a woman who’s with two Neanderthal men? Oh, and who might be pregnant too.”
Jake held her close and she cried against him.
“Is there a back way to get out of here?”
He kissed her head and closed his eyes, holding her tight. “I love you, and it shouldn’t matter who you’re with for a job. Do you want me to call my brother? He’s a lawyer.”
Sandy hiccupped and looked up at him. “You never told me you had a brother. I know about Zack’s family but not about yours. Wow, I’m like the worst girlfriend in the world.”
Jake shook his head at her instant change. Women. He would never get them. “I have two brothers and two sisters. I don’t see them very often, but there are a lot of us Bears.”
Sandy stroked his chest. “What do you mean by a lot? Like shape-shifter bears, or your family’s last name, which I would like say is very obvious.”
He grinned. “Oh really, you never guessed. But I was talking about our last name. The Bear family is quite a big clan. There are a decent amount of bear shifters, more than you probably think. Most have obvious names as you call them. The Grizzlies, the Browns, the Honeys, and many more.”
Sandy giggled. “Someone has a last name of Honey?”
He nodded and she giggled some more. “I’m still mad at you for getting me fired with your Neanderthal ways.”
“I’m sorry.”
She gave a loud huff. “No, you’re not.”
Jake shrugged. “Sorry, but you’re mine. Ours.” He captured her mouth and spread her legs, rubbing his erection at her covered pussy. They pulled away panting. “Mmm, this table is the perfect height for me to fuck you.”
Sandy moaned and her head fell back. “I shouldn’t have let you touch me. Every time your or Zack’s body touches mine, I become a woman in heat. What have you two done to me?”
“It’s the mate bond. It helps make us irresistible.”
There was a knock on the door, and his partner said, “Jake, I’m sorry to interrupt, but you’re going to want to know this. And I think it’s good that Sandy’s here.”
Jake sighed and pulled away from Sandy before helping her stand. They opened the door to a solemn David.
