might not have seen?” Myles pointed out.
Solomon held up a hand when Court started to argue. “Myles did the right thing. If Delphine wants Addison bad enough that she’s willing to snatch her in the middle of the day, then it could have been a trap.”
“Y’all could’ve killed Delphine,” Kane said as he stared at the table, both of his fists clenched tightly atop the surface. “Had I not messed around and gotten cursed, you could’ve killed her. You should have anyway.”
Myles reached over and placed his hand on Kane’s shoulder. “If we’d done that, you would’ve remained in wolf form forever.”
“Only until one of our cousins killed me,” Kane said as he looked at Myles. “Each of you would be free of Delphine now, and Addison wouldn’t be in danger.”
Solomon rested one of his fists atop Kane’s. “Then we wouldn’t have you. We made the right call.”
“We sure as shit did,” Court stated loudly.
Myles dropped his hand from Kane’s shoulder when Addison and Riley returned. He couldn’t stop staring at Addison’s mouth. The kiss had been everything he knew it would be and so much more. He forgot everything, including where he was, when she was in his arms. Why did she have to be so damn alluring? Why did he crave her as if she were life itself?
He didn’t care that there were no answers. He didn’t need them. All he needed was Addison. What a fool he had been to push her away, to keep his distance. Now, he feared he wouldn’t have even a day with her.
A blush stained her cheeks, causing him to smile because he knew she was thinking of their kiss, just as he was. He loved the way her hazel eyes looked at him, as if she wanted to devour him.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea for Addison to work today,” Riley said.
Myles wanted to hug his cousin for her quick thinking. His smile grew, even as Addison began to argue that she needed to work.
“Riley is right. We can’t watch everyone Addison comes into contact with if she’s working,” Myles said. “She needs to be somewhere safe.”
Like his place.
Addison glanced away. “I have to work. Not only do I need the money, but I took a shift.”
“That I can easily take over,” Riley said. She nudged Addison. “I’m sorry, but I think it’s for the best. Delphine can’t get her hands on you if she doesn’t know where you are.”
Solomon got to his feet. “Then it’s settled. Myles, I gather you’ll take Addison to your place?”
“It’s warded,” Myles said and stood, his cock already swelling with the idea of being alone with Addison.
Kane pulled out his cell phone. “As much as I appreciate the warding, I think it might be prudent to bring in reinforcements.”
Myles looked from Kane to Court to Solomon and shrugged. “Your call,” he told Solomon.
For long seconds, Solomon mulled over Kane’s proposal. He inhaled deeply and gave a rueful shake of his head. “I’m going to regret this, but all right.”
As Kane made the call to the Moonstone pack, Myles waited for Addison to walk to him. Once she was beside him, it was everything he could do not to pull her into his arms and kiss her again.
She had no idea how tempting her dark pink lips were, how irresistible her taste. Or perhaps she did. Maybe she knew the way she tantalized and seduced him with her soft touch and big eyes.
“Your place?” she asked, a hint of siren in her voice.
Myles could feel the eyes of his brothers and Riley on him, and he didn’t care if they could see the hunger, the yearning for Addison in his gaze. “My place,” he whispered and held out his hand.
There was a smile on his face as she laced her fingers with his. They walked from Gator Bait together, no words spoken. None needed.
Myles was alert and wary as they strolled down the sidewalk. He was wound tight by the time they reached his building. After quickly punching the code to open the door, Myles ushered her inside and up the four flights of stairs,
