The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation

---- 224, NO ONE TOUCHES WHAT'S MINE VICTORIA When I walked out of the room, he was waiting for me, leaning against the wall. "I'm ready... sir," I muttered through gritted teeth. "Let's go, then," he replied, and without giving me time for anything, his huge hand closed around mine. My traitorous heart skipped a beat. I admit I didn't expect him to keep me at his side. This was improper in every possible way, especially for the master of these lands.

When we reached the entrance, the innkeeper was already waiting, and his eyes dropped to our joined hands. But being a wise man, he said nothing about it.

I walked past him, leaving him with his arms outstretched. Grabbing the saddle confidently, I placed my boot in the stirrup.noveldrama

With a strong push, I swung myself up, shoving my ass right past his dumb wolf face. I sat tall and firm. My father had taught me how to ride since I was a child-I wasn't some delicate little lady. "I'm ready. Where's your horse?" I looked down at him like I was the boss and he was my slave. Accrooked smile tugged at the corner of that sexy mouth. "My horse? You're sitting onit..." Before I could process his words, he grabbed the saddle and leapt up. He landed like a savage right behind me, pressing tight against my back
