“If they haven’t already. You’re putting off a lot of pheromones there, Tobester.” With a wicked grin Nix stroked his shaft, her thumb swiping over the sensitive tip. “I’m so ready for you.” Her dark gaze met his, yellow sparks glittering with carnal fever.
He sucked in a reflexive breath. With a soft oath he unzipped her jeans and yanked them down to her ankles, then did the same with her panties. He spun her around, one hand on the small of her back urging her to bend. She braced her palms against the wall and arched her back, spreading her legs to open herself to him.
Tobias tested her readiness, trapping a growl in his throat at the slick heat he found between her thighs. He thrust home with one smooth, hard jab of his hips. Nix gasped and shoved against him, taking him even deeper.
Their joining was fast, furious, and wild. She muffled a moan against her forearm as he hammered into her again and again. Her core tightened around him like a fist as she met him thrust for thrust. Then her entire body stiffened, her sheath clenching around him with her climax.
Stifling his own shout, he gave himself over to his release. He threw back his head against the urge to bend forward and sink his fangs into her soft, giving throat. One more lunge of his hips and he held her against him, feeling her quaking around his cock in another orgasm. When it was over, and his brain started working again, he turned her around and drew up her panties and jeans. Looking up at her face he saw that blood smeared one corner of her mouth. With a low curse Tobias leaned down and swiped his tongue over the rich liquid, growling at the salty tang on his taste buds. That little taste only made him want more, but he couldn’t go there. “We need to get out of here,” he muttered, tucking his penis back into his pants and zipping them up.
“I’m ready to go as soon as my legs stop shaking.” Nix smiled and raked her fingers through her hair, making her curls even wilder. She glanced around the room. “I really can’t believe we just did that.”
He shot her a quick look. “You’re not disappointed, I hope.”
Her eyes widened. “God, no. That was…was…” She shook her head. “There are no words.”
“Well, that’s a first,” he whispered, and swooped in to press a quick, hard kiss on her mouth. “Nix de la Fuente is speechless.”
“Yeah, well, enjoy it while it lasts, Tobester.” She gave him a wink.
He put one finger to his lips and then eased open the door. He took a quick look around, listened intently for a couple of seconds, then motioned for her to follow him. A few minutes later they were back in his SUV. Nix was a little breathless, though he wasn’t sure if it was from running or because she was now laughing so hard.
“Oh, my God. I feel like a teenager again, sneaking around and making out in the principal’s office.” She looked at him with sparkling eyes.
He raised a brow. “You made out in the principal’s office?” He started the SUV and pulled away from the curb.
“Just one time.” She grinned and pulled her seat belt across her body, fastening it with a quick click.
“Hmm. Something new I just learned about you.” Before he could say more, his phone rang. Tobias answered it, hitting the speakerphone button so Nix could hear as well.
Braithwaite’s voice, tense and low, came across the line. “I have more information but… can you come to my house?”
“Sure. When?” Tobias shared a glance with Nix.
“Now.” Braithwaite’s voice became even more strained. “Right now. I’m afraid. I’m not sure how long… Just get here.” He hung up the phone.
Tobias disconnected the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Well?” he asked, looking at Nix. “Are you coming with me?”
“Try and keep me away,” Nix said.
He nodded. “Call Dante. Tell him we’ll meet up with him at your place and go to Braithwaite’s from there.”

“It’s a trap.” Nix couldn’t keep the worry from her voice.
“Maybe.” Tobias held out his hand. When she laced her fingers through his, he whispered, “Good thing I have you to watch my back.”
“You don’t think it’ll be too dangerous for me?” She sent him a challenging look.
“Not for you.”
From the backseat came a low snort. “Oh, I get it.” Dante leaned forward. “You two kissed and made up.”
Nix caught the glitter of carnal memories glinting in Tobias’s eyes. “Something like that,” he said as he changed lanes. “Braithwaite lives in Avondale. Whether I take the 202 and loop around or get off and go the other direction, it’s still going to take some time to get there.”
