Enticing Their Mate(26)

“Good for your cousin. I’d like to meet her someday.”

“You might just get the chance.”

She had no plans to travel to Florida, but she saw no need to mention that. “I’ve been meaning to ask about another couple of your cohorts—Tyson and Ford Summerville. I was wondering how Bailey and her sister Tatum are doing after those two freed them.”

“Quite well, though I haven’t been in contact with the men who are with Tatum.” He leaned back in his seat and stretched out his legs, looking more relaxed than Riley ever would be. “Before I forget, I want you to know that one of the General’s men located Michelle, and she’s healing fine.”

Joy and concern collided. “Michelle’s not dead?” Statler had said she’d left on her own accord, but she’d never believed him. “What happened?”

“Without releasing too many details, Darnell roughed her up a bit, but he’s now in custody and Michelle is on her way to Florida to heal, or rather will be shortly.”

His lack of details implied it would be better for her sake if he didn’t confide in her. “Thank you for telling me.”

Michelle’s fate reinforced Sarah’s need for extra care. “Do you mind if I take a shower and clean up. Even though Russ didn’t get far, I’m feeling just plain nasty and can’t stand the thought of having his scent on me.”

“Sure. I totally understand.”

“Riley’s on his way over, so would you mind letting him in?”

“Will do.”

As she headed into the bathroom to shower, she couldn’t help but compare the two men who were alike in their dedication but different in their intensity level. While Jay seemed focused, he appeared to have the ability to sit back and enjoy life, unlike Riley who seemed driven by some inner demon.

From the two times she’d been with Jay, she’d noticed he smiled more than Riley, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t be as sensual and aggressive in bed.

As much as Riley had satisfied her thoroughly, it made her remember how much she loved sex. If making love with Riley had been the best in her life, she could only imagine what adding a hunk like Jay to the mix would do. She’d had a few ménage experiences, but she bet they’d pale compared to making love with these two.

She turned on the water, undressed, and then inspected her injuries. Touching her cheek, she winced. There’d be quite a bruise where her face hit the ground when Russ tackled her, but the scrapes on her palms, forearm, and right knee would heal in a few days.

When the water warmed, she stepped under the soothing flow, blocking Russell Sizemore from her mind. The idea of having to work with him for the next few days sickened her, but as an FBI operative who was on loan to the Pack, she needed to shake it off. Worse things had happened to her and she’d made it through.

As she soaped up and scrubbed between her thighs, Riley’s glorious face came into view, and her inner walls cramped. What was it that drew her to him? His highly competent nature, his take charge attitude, or the fact he reeked of sex appeal? And why did Jay’s touch elicit the same intense reaction?

Because I’m excited by men who are powerful and can handle themselves under extreme pressure.

The next few days would be crucial to taking down Statler, and she couldn’t afford to slip up, which was one more reason for needing a little stress reduction in the form of hot and heavy sex.

The front door bell rang and she hurried to finish, ready to test the waters with both enticing men.





Chapter Ten





Hearing the shower run and picturing Sarah naked almost made Jay lose control. He yearned to run into the bathroom and make wild, passionate love with her, but he didn’t because that would have ruined things before he had a chance to convince her they belonged together. After what happened today, she certainly didn’t need some crazed man coming onto her, and if he announced she was his mate, she surely would have run.

When Riley had texted earlier and said he’d made love with Sarah, Jay had been thrilled. He chose to ignore the rest of the text that said Riley planned to keep his dick in his pants from now on, and that Jay was free to pursue her. Riley wasn’t that strong. No mate was.

Jay’s friend knew as well as anyone that mates had this incredible ability to draw you in and make you do things against your wishes, but for some reason, Riley was still in denial. Hopefully, with Sarah’s help, Jay would be able to persuade him that the three of them belonged together.

The doorbell rang. Riley was here. Jay pushed back from the kitchen chair and answered the door. Riley stormed in and looked around. “Where is she?”
