Ivonne's POV
"Shit," I muttered under my breath at my mistake, shutting my eyes as I scolded myself for the slip up.
'You just had to say it didn't you?' Ria interrogated in my head, sounding helpless at my stupid utterance.
'It was a mistake damn it,' I hissed back in my head, while I physically angled my head away from Tobias's stare.
"Ivonne?" Tobias called my name in a hard tone. "Don't you dare lie because we both know I can scent him on you."
'See?' I said to Ria. 'He already knew.'
"You know I can hear your thoughts," he reminded and I muttered profanities under my breath. "I'll get to who you are talking to in there later."
I bobbed my head in response, not daring to speak and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have because I had no idea what to say in response.
"Now answer the question, Ivonne," he said in one breath, his jaw tightening as a spark ignited in his gaze. "Lincoln fuckingly did what?"
"Calm down Tobias," I stood from the bed and reached out to grab his hands as I observed him get furious.
"Then say something to make me calm down," his eyes narrowed, fingers curling into fists. "What do you mean by he put his hands on you?"
"He tried to hug me and all," I tried to explain. "Alison walked in that moment and thought the worst."
"Same way I would have," he pronounced, teeth clenched. "Or maybe I already did."
"What do you mean?" It was my turn to ask, my heart beginning to pound in my chest at the thought that he—.
"I came to see if you were doing alright after you spent longer than expected," he revealed to my surprise, confirming my train of thoughts.
"You were talking and the next thing you two were in an embrace."
"Shit!" I let out loudly and not in my head.
"Why do you think I suggested we leave when you came?" He quizzed, reminding me of a few moments prior.
"I'm sorry Tobias," I rushed to say, my palms rubbing up and down his arm. "I pushed him away after that and luckily Allison's appearance played a role."
"My wolf was trying to get protective and would have claimed you right there in front of everyone if we had stayed longer," he blurted, the color in his eyes shifting. "He wanted to rid you off every scent of him before anyone caught on which was why we had to get out of there fast."
"Speaking of your wolf," I traced my fingers up to his neck and grabbed his jaw, caressing it with my thumb as I willed him to calm down. "When can I meet him?"
"It's true," he let out in realization. "You haven't met him yet. Neither have I met your wolf."
"And our wolves haven't officially met each other too," I went on to say, grinning up at him, his breathing slowly returned to normal as the anger left his form.
"What color is your fur?" He asked, curling his lip to the side as he stared down at me.
"Silver," I told and surprise flashed on his face as his eyes widened.
"You are a silver wolf?" He implored in wonder.
"Yeah I am," I affirmed. "It was revealed as one of the reasons Lincoln kept me by his side and didn't want to let go even after our fallout and him getting together with Allison."
"Asshole," Tobias growled. "He wanted to eat his cake and have it."
"I presume so," I shrugged and heaved a sigh as a flash of sadness overwhelmed me for a moment. "I never knew he was selfish till later."
"Lincoln has always been a selfish and incompetent man in my sight," Tobias grunted, face morphing into a scowl. "I hate incompetent bastards which is why I tend to avoid having a feud with him."
"From the way you speak of him, no stranger would believe you are his uncle or that you both are related in any way," I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief myself.
"Yeah," he frowned. "Speaking or thinking of him leaves a foul taste in my mouth, especially after the bad things he had done to you and the pain and trauma of it all."
"It's all good Tobias," I rubbed his chin, stretching on the tip of my toes to give his lips a quick kiss. "I'm fine now."
"You are but it was certain his presence irked you," he mumbled. "I can't believe he had the guts to follow you to the bathroom in my territory. He was lucky I was in a good mood and I didn't see any sign of hurt from you."
"I promise you it was just exchange of words and nothing more," I strived to make him let it slide. "I think he purposely put his scent on me to provoke you and maybe cause a commotion between us."
"Don't fret darling," Tobias moved his hand to grip my waist. "I saw it happen and already thought of that possibility right there and then."
"Really?" I quizzes in surprise. "Really," he repeated.
"It was just a thought," my eyes narrowed in suspicion. "I didn't think he really planned that out for real."
"He did," Tobias declared and I nodded. "Enough about Lincoln."
"I was already getting tired of talking about him anyway," I confessed, rolling my eyes. "It's only us now so it's best we focus on each other."
"Exactly," his eyes grew stormy as lust filled his gaze in a heartbeat. "Because we have unfinished business."
"That needs to be taken care of as soon as possible," I said, my voice tuning down to a hum as his hand on my waist slid to palm my ass.
"Yes," he bent to whisper in my neck, igniting shivers as his lips brushed his mark on me. "Heaven knows I've missed the feeling of your warm feminine walls around my hardness."
"Tobias," I moaned as he kissed and sucked on the spot, his hand snaking upward to my back and my shoulder, his other hand joining to slid the short sleeves off, causing the material to peel off my body and reveal my breasts and thin waist to his sight.
"Ivonne," he grunted in his deep voice as his arms returned to my waist and lifted me off my feet. "Wrap your legs around me baby."
Gulping, I did as told, his fingers firmly on my butt cheeks as he gradually strolled to the bed, my dress pooling around my waist. He softly dropped me on the mattress and gripped the hem of the blue material, tugging it off my body in one smooth swoop.
He climbed in between my legs, his eyes not leaving mine as he slid the shirt off this shoulders, the full sight of his chest and abs making my lips water.
I tried to sit but he pushed me back softly on the mattress and whispered. "I'm the one doing the touching tonight. Not you."
Bobbing my head, I stared up at him as he climbed off the bed and unhooked his leather belt. Unzipping the pants, he tugged it down with his briefs, giving me a full glance of what I was going to get.
My pussy twitched at the size of his dick as he approached, wetness pooling in my feminity as he returned to fix himself between my legs.
"I'm going to slide in right now."
