my devilsome dick in that big fist of yours.”
“Get the fuck out!” I bellowed, about to get up to force him away when he dropped the sheet and chuckled as he left.
I shuddered as I turned back to Rosa, realising I’d wrapped my arm around her and had dragged her against my chest on top of the products between my legs. The scent of the argan oil on her skin and the tempting, sinful scent that was entirely her beneath it made me want to lean in and rake my tongue along her throat. She was the only thing in the world which could force that image of Plunger out of my head so fast.
She turned her head back to look at me and my dick swelled against her ass as I released ragged breaths.
I cleared my throat, remembering myself as I pushed her off of me before I got rock hard.
“So, Sook Min is dead,” I prompted, knowing my tone was cold, but I needed to get her mind straight off the matter of my throbbing dick and back onto the real issue here.
She turned away again and I started back on the last section of her hair, gently running my brush through it. “Yeah,” she said sadly. “And may she rest with the stars, but now we have no Polethius Mole Shifter for my plan and…fuck, we really need one. They’re the only Order capable of sensing the detectors buried in the ground surrounding the prison and we can’t risk digging any tunnels unless we can be sure we won’t hit one of them. If we do, we’ll be blown to pieces before we even realise what happened.”
I gritted my jaw, trying to bite back my next words, but we really had no choice. “Plunger’s our only option.”
“Fuck no,” she snarled wolfishly.
“There’s no one else,” I sighed. “And trust me, if there was, I’d say so. I mean, we can always wait to see if a newbie shows up, but those Shifters are rare as it is. We could be here for years before another one arrives.”
“Why Plunger?” she groaned. “I swear the stars don’t want me to get out of here.”
“They do,” I grunted. “And even if they give up on you, I won’t. I’ll get you out if I have to tear down the whole prison, Rosa. You will not stay here.”
“Aren’t I the one who’s supposed to be rescuing you?” she teased but whimpered as I tugged through the last big knot in her hair.
“Sorry,” I murmured. “And yeah, you are. I’m just making sure you keep your word.”
She laughed softly and the sound made me even harder. My cock was seriously not getting the off limits message and the lack of blood in my head was making me consider its case.
“So what are we gonna do about these?” She reached back to catch my hand, running her thumb over the new magic blocking cuff on it. Her touch made my skin warm and I remembered power sharing with her right here. It had felt so good being connected to her like that and I ached to do it again someday.
“How hard do you think it would be to get one of those remotes when it’s time to break out?” she asked and I shook my head.
“I’ve been paying close attention and those things have magical signature detectors on them. Unless we could get a brand new one and register it to one of us, I don’t see any way to get these cuffs off. Not without getting a guard to do it for us,” I laughed, but she didn’t, like she was considering everything I’d said.
“I’ll work it out,” she replied eventually just as I combed out the last of her hair and sat back to admire its shiny gleam. She groaned in appreciation as I ran my fingers through it.
“I know you will,” I said, having total faith in her, though things weren’t looking too good.
“We’re going to need a new place to tunnel out too,” she said. “Now we can’t get into the walls, we’re gonna have to find somewhere we can dig. Somewhere we won’t be found.”
“Are you really expecting Plunger to dig us out of here?” I didn’t scoff, though maybe I should have. The amount of obstacles I could see with that one idea alone were endless. He didn’t have access to his Order for one. And you couldn’t dig out of the Order Yard, the magical dome went
