“Ouch. What did your poor thumb ever do to you?” Caleb asked her.
She glanced down at her thumb, wincing as she saw the tooth marks on it. She seemed to have had a field day gnawing on it.
Caleb ran his thumb over hers. “Seems someone might need something else to suck on.”
She stared up at him with wide eyes. Did he mean . . .
Caleb grinned. “I didn’t mean that.” He leaned in to whisper in her ear. “I like where your mind went though, dirty girl.” He pulled back and s
lipped her arm around the chain so both hands rested in her lap. Aleki sat on the swing next to them while Wolfe stood a few feet away, his gaze moving over their surroundings. Always on alert.
Always making her feel safe.
“How do you keep finding me?” she asked, not really expecting a reply since they hadn’t given her one any other time she’d asked.
“GPS tracker in your locket,” Wolfe replied. “I put it in years ago. Although I replaced that one with a newer one while you were asleep. Better technology now.”
Holy shit. That wasn’t what she expected. “Why?” She stared up at him.
He just shrugged. “You were important to Aleki.”
She winced. Was.
But then, didn’t he just say that he’d replaced it? Why would he do that?
“Here, Vivi.” She looked down to see Caleb offering her another pack of black jelly beans.
“I’m not supposed to take candy from strangers,” she said in a shy voice. Then she winced. What an idiotic thing to say.
“Damn right you shouldn’t,” Aleki agreed.
“Lucky we’re not strangers.” Caleb opened the pack and handed her one.
“She’ll rot her teeth eating those,” Wolfe complained.
“A little candy never hurt,” Caleb countered.
She took the jelly bean and slid it into her mouth. Yum.
Suddenly, she was in Caleb’s arms and he sat on the swing with her on his lap. She stiffened and looked up at the chains holding the swing to the pole in concern.
“Relax,” he told her. “If it can take Aleki’s weight, it can take ours.”
“I don’t weigh that much more than you, asshole,” Aleki said as he started to swing back and forth.
“You’d weigh less if you laid off the pizza,” Caleb told him.
From what she could see there wasn’t an inch of fat on Aleki. Sure, he was built thick. But it was all muscle.
“Hey, takes a lot to fuel this big, beautiful body. We’re not all skinny white dudes.”
Her gaze shot up to Caleb. The lights from the street meant she could kind of make out his expression. She wouldn’t exactly call Caleb skinny. He was slimmer than Aleki, but most people were. Aleki was actually the shortest of the three, but he was by far the most muscular.
She could feel how hard Caleb was underneath her. And she wasn’t talking about his cock.
Although . . .
She wiggled around slightly. “I wouldn’t be doing that, baby.” He grabbed her hips and she froze. “He likes having your ass resting against him just a bit too much.”
