“I’m taking you upstairs.”
    She made a pained noise of protest, but he merely grinned and took her by the shoulders. Spinning her around, he faced her toward the huge glass sliding door. Ben and Walker were just on the other side of the door, watching with avid interest. They were both a scant inch from having their faces pressed against the glass like two little boys. 
    “Oh!” Aurelia hiccuped. “Oh, no.”
    “I’m going to have you to myself the first time,” Lucas said, pulling her back against his chest to whisper in her ear. His hands shaped her waist as he propelled her into walking forward.
    Ben and Walker realized they’d been made and vanished, gone before Aurelia reached the door.
    Lucas chuckled and released her, opening the door and ushering her inside and into the kitchen.
    “I can’t believe they watched us!” Aurelia protested, blushing.
    “No doubt they’re both in their suites, reliving the experience with themselves in my place,” Lucas said, his delight sinful.
    Aurelia paused, catching sight of the mound of paperwork on the kitchen island. Another copy of her contract, she saw. Multiple copies thoughtfully provided so that Lucas could pick the perfect moment to ask her to sign away her freedom.
    “What?” Lucas asked, catching her shift in mood.
    “It’s just- I mean, should I…” she said, gesturing to the contract. Did he need her to sign it before he could be intimate? For a man who asked for trust, it would be a low blow.
    Aurelia didn’t feel the need to mention that she’d already signed the copy she’d found in her room. She could let him dangle for a bit, she thought.
    “No! No,” Lucas said, steering her away from the contract and into the den.
    “I didn’t know if… I don’t know,” she said, shaking her head.
    “You’re buying the car. You can test drive it all you want,” he said, reaching out and taking her hand.
    “So you’re a car now?” she asked, relief seeping into her thoughts.
    “A very expensive, sexy car. Yeah.”
    “I see. So what’s the next part of the buying experience?” Aurelia teased, giving him a smile. He was being very sweet, considering the business end of their deal. She had signed a contract to essentially be his groupie, he didn’t have to be nice on top of it. It helped, though.
    “The next part?” he asked, looking mischievous.
    She opened her mouth to make a smart retort, but Lucas bent and grabbed her by the waist instead. Hoisting her, he ignored her squawking noises and threw her over his shoulder.
    “I’ll show you,” he promised.

    “ W hat are you doing ? Where are we— put me down!” Aurelia squealed, huffing. She struggled in his hold, making Lucas excited and bringing his wolf to the fore.
    Lucas was across the den and up the stairs in a flash, carrying her into the hallway of their suite and past her bedroom and sitting room. He brought her to his bedroom door, barely paused at the threshold. 
    Nudging the door open, he carried her inside and dropped her on the bed. Scrambling to her knees, Aurelia looked around.
    “My room,” Lucas explained, unabashed. It did suit him; all navy blue and dark wood, with dark curtains drawn against the sun. Bookshelves lined nearly every inch of the walls, and the furniture was heavy and antique. There were several maps and globes, annotated and ancient. 
    Aurelia was looking around at his things, taking it in with those bright eyes. She turned to him, pleased.
    “I like it,” she said, giving him a slow smile. “It reminds me of being in the captain’s quarters of an old ship.”
    “That’s very much the idea,” he said, kneeling on the bed next to her. Aurelia leaned back, her arms behind her and her breasts on display. 
    Lucas reached out, brushing his fingertips against her shoulder, down her arm. She shuddered, and he began again, from her shoulder to her collarbone and on down. His touch traced the outline of her breast, and he splayed his
