She looks like a fucking goddess.

“What—” I start to croak out as she approaches, all the anger I was feeling at the men's leaving vanished.

“Sammi helped me pick out some clothes more in the local style,” Ana interrupts with a shy smile, and I can tell she feels uneasy wearing it. Reaching over, I take her wrist and pull her into my lap. I kiss her deeply, not giving a shit that we are in public right now. A few whoops come from the bar patrons, but I ignore them.

“So, I suppose you approve,” Sammi says lightly as she passes, making her way up to the bar.

“You could say that,” I mutter as I nuzzle into Ana’s neck, eliciting a giggle.

“Ax, stop,” she hisses, but with no real anger in her voice.

Pulling back, I look at her face before trailing my eyes down the dress again.

“No.”

I dive back in and Ana squeals, pushing herself off me with a laugh.

“Time for that later,” she says with twinkling eyes as Sammi comes back with a few mugs in hand. I nod my thanks, but say nothing, still not sure how to act around this woman.

I take a deep sip of my beer, willing my hard dick to go down.

“You seem happy, considering,” I comment to Ana who does seem to have a particular glow about her at the moment.

“Suppose I’m feeling a bit better about where we are. What happened with you today, anyway? Did you get any weapons?”

I nod slowly. “I did get some, though not the bow you were hoping for. The blacksmith is an ex-con, we got on well, so he told me a few other places to check. And Papi and Luis left.”

“They left?”

“Fucking cowards,” I spit out, taking another sip of my drink.

“Can hardly blame them for—”

“They’re fucking cowards, don’t defend them,” I interject, and Ana’s lips tighten but she doesn’t argue. I lower my voice slightly, leaning into the table. “So, tonight…”

“I think we should go up to our room,” Ana interrupts loudly, and I quickly take the hint that she has things to say she doesn’t want to talk about here. “Sammi, will you be okay with Brutus for a bit?”

She nods, holding up her drink in acknowledgement.

“You know where to find me.”

I watch and appreciate Ana's ass and the way it moves in her dress as she walks up the stairs. When a piece of her thigh is revealed I feel myself getting even harder.

"I like the dress," is all I comment, and Ana turns around and gives me a stunning smile.

"Thought you might," she replies with a wink as we walk into our room. The girls must have been in here since this morning, as the bed is made and everything from earlier cleaned up.

"So, what was so important you needed to bring me here to tell me? Or was it something else you brought me up here for?" I wag my eyebrows at her and pull her toward me.

Ana snorts and lightly pushes my chest away from her, but I see the smile in her eyes.

"You're insatiable!"

"Like you're any better," I say with a grin and she winks.

"What happened when you found Sammi?" I ask as I adjust myself in my pants. Teasing aside, we have a lot to do today if I’m going to break Ethan out tonight. Especially now with two fewer people to help.

"Well, The Watch will be here tomorrow, maybe the next day, but that isn't what I wanted to tell you. It seems most of Tekir likes The Watch and the Order just as little as us."
