I’m sure from the way my mom talked that Autumn knew my reputation, but she didn’t seem to mind and for that I was grateful. Some omegas expected alphas to wait for marriage, especially in a town like this. Hell, and the other way around. But that was outdated thinking and it wasn’t an alpha only trait to play the field when they weren’t tied to a pack, or a pack wasn’t fully settled.

Once she was in my arms, her sweet scent of all things fall soaked into me, and in that moment I knew exactly how screwed I was. There was no way I could resist tightening my grip on her hips ever so slightly as we twisted and two-stepped our way through the music.

We didn't say anything, her eyes locked on mine as we moved. Our bodies were pressed close enough I could feel every inch of her, and from the way she pressed into me and the strong burst of her scent, I knew she was feeling it too.

You could cut the sexual tension between us with a knife. Song after song we danced, our grips on each other tightening until we were both breathing hard and looking for an excuse to keep touching each other.

I swallowed hard, glancing down at her lips.

“Want to get out of here?”

My palm stayed at the small of her back but didn’t press any further, letting the final decision remain firmly in her court.

She took a second to weigh the decision, and her green eyes meeting mine as emotions flicked one after another before a smile stretched against her lips.

“Are you offering me a bit of fun, sheriff?” she teased.

I grinned back, leaning down and letting my lips brush against her ear. “I’m offering you a whole lot of fun.”

She hummed, pressing herself against me even more.

“My place?” she suggested her fingers traced over my chest, feeling the hard plains beneath.

I moved my lips to hover just above hers, loving the way her breath seemed to catch.

“Back to the scene of the crime…good choice. Let’s go, sweetheart .”

I took her hand and led her off of the dance floor. Lindsay already had her purse ready with a knowing grin. She shot Autumn a wink I probably wasn’t supposed to see.

We made our way out of the brewery, hands brushing slightly as we walked next to each other. Just as we made it to her car, I pulled her close, needing to know the taste of her on my lips before we made the drive back to her house.

I sipped from her, my small testing kisses turning more possessive as she wound her fingers through my hair. She rubbed against me, desperately seeking more than I could give her in the middle of a parking lot and it took all my willpower to break away.

“Don’t make me arrest you for public indecency, darling. Let’s go. I’ll be right behind you.”

Ensuring she was steady first, I made my way to my car, making sure to follow closely behind her the entire way.

The drive back to the orchard was short, but it nearly did me in. I couldn’t stop thinking about Autumn, and from the looks of it where she almost missed the turn into the farm, her mind seemed to be running too.

“A bit distracted?” I called out as we both climbed out of our cars. She tried to play it off cool, sauntering past me with a wicked grin in place.

“What would I have to be distracted about?” She joked.

I let out a growl and chased after her. She yelped and ran up to the house, throwing open the front door. We were going to have a talk about her not taking any unnecessary chances later but for now I was determined to claim my prize.

I was hot on her heels as she neared the bedroom at the end of the hall, catching her mid run and tossing her playfully on the bed.

“You know I’m trained to take down grown men, right?” I teased as I climbed over her.

“The fun is in the chase, sheriff,” she shot back at me with a giggle.

And oh, how right she was.

Chapter6

Autumn

My laughter was cut off with a moan as Hunter started licking his way down the column of my throat, his other hand trailing down my side. Goosebumps erupted along my flesh and I was already ready to rip my clothes off for this man.
