He pinned me to the shower wall and kissed the hell out of me for no apparent reason other than because he wanted to.

Unless he was doing it just because he knew I liked it.

That wouldn't be veryRhone, though. And he was way too into it to not actually be enjoying it.

When he eventually pulled away, he dragged me under the water, and washed my body for me.

Then spent the rest of the day in bed with me, snuggling.

And fucking.

And biting.

It felt like a dream.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

harper

After a few daysthat mostly consisted of Rhone dragging me around the tower to do whatever needed to be done because he was worried I'd make a jailbreak, we headed down to the parking garage.

Maverick had invited most of the pack and all of his remaining challengers to the estate for what would most likely be the last challenge for a while. He wanted Rhone there too, so he would be comfortable letting Bloom attend the fights for the first time.

Since the Wilder Pack was making a statement, Maverick wanted to make it louder. Bringing his vampire mate and her turned vampire best friend seemed like a good way to do that.

Oren and Riley would be there too, further cementing where the Alpha Pack stood.

Our bag was on Rhone's shoulder, and I'd laced my fingers with his when we left the apartment. He had been uncomfortable with the small PDA thing at first, but he'd gotten used to holding my hand.

The thought of driving again made me feel a sudden surge of normalcy, so I released his hand and took a step toward the driver's side of Rhone's car.

"I can drive."

He plucked me off my feet and carried me to the passenger’s side without a word.

I gave him a deadpanned stare as he opened the door and put me on the seat. "Seriously? I like driving."

"You hate driving."

My forehead creased. "No, I don’t."

"Yes, you do. Bloom told me that before I knew what you were."

I’d been pretty out of it, but I did vaguely remember that conversation taking place. Everything had been a bit of a blur at that point.

"She lied. She was worried I would zone out, and wanted you to drive me so I wouldn’t. Somehow, I convinced her I’d be fine. It’s a miracle I was."

Rhone blinked. "I’m still driving."

He closed the door.

Watching his ass as he walked around the car erased any annoyance I had felt.

"You remembered something Bloom said about me that long ago?" I asked, as he sat down.

His only response was a grunt.

My lips twitched.
