“Fuck, vicious. I missed you too.”
“What’s wrong with us? I’ve never been this pathetic.”
I laughed over her lips and kissed her again. “It’s because I like you, wife.”
“A lot?” she asked, wiping her lipstick from my mouth with her thumb.
“Alot.”
“Is that why Milly called to tell me you were sitting in my car for an hour?”
Barking a laugh, I walked us over to the Hellcat and sat her on the hood, wedging myself between her legs.
“Milly is achi…chi…help me out here.”
“Chismosa,” she choked out in laughter.
“That’s it. Exactly. I was detailing your car, not missing you or smelling you or thinking about you on your knees and how fucking beautiful you look choking on my cock.”
Her laughter quieted, and she placed a hand on my cheek. “How romantic of you.”
“I thought so.” My hands journeyed up her blouse. “Any updates?” I asked, flicking her hardened nipples.
Amalia rested her forehead on mine, closed her eyes, and reveled in the pleasure of my caresses.
“No, but I’ve got Holly looking into possible leads and tracing phone calls. As you know, a lot of these transactions happen anonymously from burner phones and accounts— Fuck, Kai,” she whispered, tipping her head back as I kissed behind her ear. “Just like that.”
“So what’s next?” My hands dropped to her hips, and I hauled her forward. The heat of her pussy on my abdomen made me want to take her right here on the hood of this car.
“Unfortunately, wait until they strike again. Or we can set up a drop and see if they take the bait.” She bucked against me as I kissed down the valley of her breasts. “It seems like I’m the target, so if I’m alone, it might entice—”
“The hell with that.”
Her eyes snapped open.
“Excuse me?”
“You alone? No, absolutely not. Fuck that.”
Amalia rolled her eyes and shoved me back. “Again, I wasn’t asking, Cain.”
“No, maybe you weren’t, but Iamtelling you, that plan is shit.”
Her laugh was cynical and maybe downright diabolical, but it didn’t faze me.
“Oh?”
“Putting yourself at risk is out of the question.”
“You mean, my every day? I think you forget that I cut the dicks off cocky, pieces-of-shit men for a living—in heels and a skirt, no less.”
“And you look goddamn sexy doing it, woman, but deliberately putting yourself in danger is different. I know you’re capable, so get over yourself. This isn’t me trying to be an overprotective husband or underestimating you or whatever bullshit it is you’re thinking.”
She arched an eyebrow. “And what is it then?”
One of my hands wrapped around her throat, and I tugged her close. “This is me letting you know that as long as I’m breathing, no one touches my fucking wife.” Amalia’s eyes closed, her nails digging into my arms. “That’s my ring on your finger,mi reina. Whatever needs to get done, you and I do it together. I’ll burn this whole goddamn city to the ground for you. Just say the word.”
“Kai.” Her voice was barely a whisper as her lips grazed the shell of my ear, followed by the tip of her tongue. “You owe me an orgasm today. Every day. Your words.”
