Reina's Mate (10 page)

I closed my mouth.

How did she do that?

“
Trust me.” She leaned in
and kissed me gently. “You're going to be great. We'll help each
other.”

“
What about where we live?
I am not giving up living with you.”

That was non-negotiable.

“
Well...we can live in the
buffer. Or ex-buffer. Between our two territories.”

I mulled that over.

“
Fine. But who's going to
be your Second?”

“
I'm not completely sure
yet. But I was thinking about Bar. She's more than proved herself.
She's quick, smart, a good fighter. And people underestimate
her.”

Not a bad choice.

“
I'm taking Terrence then.
He's intimidating and I know I can trust him. I'm going to need
that while I clean house here.”

There was a rot in this pack that had to be
burned out thoroughly.

Reina thought it over, her thumb rubbing my
hand absently.

“
Fine. If he wants to go,
fine.” She sighed. “I'm going to have to figure out who to replace
him with.”

I let my head drop down on the pillow again
with a heavy sigh.

“
What?”

“
I just realized that
vacation I was dreaming about isn't going to happen. Not for a
good, long while.”

Damn it.

“
True. A vacation isn't
really a good idea right now.” She kissed me lightly, skimming her
hand up my arm. “But I bet we could think of something to do at
home.” Her smile was wicked, her eyes hot.

I felt my cock stir in interest.

“
Come here.”

She laughed, shaking her head.

“
No shenanigans. Doctor's
orders.”

“
Really? Can't an invalid
get some sympathy here?”

She rolled his eyes.

“
This invalid needs some
rest before he does anything else.”

Fine. Probably for the best anyway.

Everything hurt.

I wanted to be more mobile when I got my
hands on her again.

She leaned over and kissed me again, this
time slower, her tongue sleek and soft as it entered my mouth.

When she broke the kiss and pulled back a
little, we were both breathing noticeably harder.

“
Rest up. I have plans for
your body.”

Hot. Damn.

My body hurt, I had more responsibilities
than I'd ever wanted, and I couldn't do anything about my hard on
at the moment.

But fuck.

I had Reina.

Life was good.
