bullshit.”
She laid a hand on his arm. “It’s nothing against you or your family.”
RJ snorted. “Yes, actually it is. Dylan is meant to be the Alpha. But dividing the Pack was never meant to happen. Even if Dylan wins the challenge, he will constantly be reminded he’s not from here. How is that fair?”
“He had to know coming here something like this might happen.”
“No,” he interrupted. “We were told we were wanted here. That it had already been decided. Dylan doesn’t deserve this.”
“What about his inner circle? Is he only using the wolves he brought with him?”
RJ shook his head. “I don’t know. I do know that Cameron and Dylan have discussed it, but that is something that we’d have to ask him. Why?”
“Just some rumours that Dylan is using this to bring his Pack up and leave the original Pack in the dust.”
“Dylan wouldn’t do that!”
Nikki pushed her drink away and sank back against the back of the booth. “This isn’t going to work. If we can’t agree, then we will never get the Pack to.”
When he put his arm around her shoulders, Nikki cuddled into him. The kiss to the top of her head gave her hope.
“I think the majority of the Pack, both new and old members, are okay with it,” he told her. “Just a handful of the people, really, have any concerns. Besides, we’re more involved than the others. It’s our brothers who will be hurt.”
She gave into temptation and ran her hand over his chest. “So what do we do?”
“I don’t know. Dylan is worried about it and it sounds like Brandon is too. Maybe they should just get together and have it out before the ceremony.”
Nikki thought about it. “That is a good idea, unless they kill each other before the ceremony.”
RJ’s thumb on her bottom lip surprised her. “You’re doing it again.”
She swiped at his thumb before sucking the digit into her mouth. She watched his nostrils flare.
“Fuck, baby,” he panted at her.
She grinned and let go.
“Can you get Brandon to our house tonight?” he asked, trying to get back to the point.
She hesitated before nodding. “Yeah, if I don’t tell him where we’re going, I think I might manage it. I’d have to bring Justin too. This is a family issue.”
“Okay, that will work. Ben will be there, so three of you and three of us. It’s fair and we can all sit down and hash this out. There is only one more day. We need to do it now.”
She glanced at her watch. It was half after ten. “Midnight?”
“Yeah, that will work,” he agreed. He dropped his hand back under the table. “We should probably get going.”
“Yeah,” she breathed as he nuzzled her neck while slipping his hand under her skirt.
She spread for him until he was teasing over the flimsy material she wore for panties. She was already wet for him. “RJ, please.”
“Let’s go!” He grabbed her hand and pulled her from the booth.
She laughed and stumbled as he continued to drag her through the bar. They hit the door and ran out into the night.
“Where are you parked?” he asked, lifting her off her feet.
She held onto his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist. “Who cares?”
He chuckled as he walked farther from the bar. “I see it.”
She was busy kissing and biting at his neck so she didn’t really care if he found the car or not. Just the taste of him was breathtaking. His salty skin called to her. Reminded her of how much she had enjoyed him earlier.
“Baby, if you keep that up we aren’t going to make it to the Jeep.”
“Uh-huh,” she murmured. Really, all that they needed to do was get to a flat surface. She wanted him inside her this time. She squeezed his waist and he groaned.
Happily, she went back to sucking at his neck.
She grunted when her back hit the side of her Jeep.
“You drive me crazy,” he told her and slammed his mouth down on hers.
She slid lower, rubbing against his hard body. “Want you…please…need you,” she managed
