Chapter Seven
“Will you kiss me again?”she whispered.“I really need that right now.”
Snake smiled and nodded.“I can do that with pleasure.
Their lips met and Snake deepened the kiss.
Della stopped thinking and just felt him holding for a long moment.His mouth was hot and her skin tingled all over.When he finally lifted his head both were gasping for breath.
“Wow.”Della had become breathless and her statement came out almost as a gasp.Smiling, she got to her feet and urged him to get up.“Come on, let’s get this done so we can come back and take the next step.”
Snake peered up at her and asked, “The next step?”
Della nodded as red flushed her cheeks.“I know there’s more to kissing than just the kiss.My tummy is swimming and I need to know firsthand what comes next.”
Snake blinked his eyes.“What comes next?”He whispered.“Della, have you ever been with a man before?”
Della shook her head.“No, but I want to be with you, if you’ll have me?I mean no one has ever come near me, not that I wanted them to either.I just figured if I couldn’t have you, no one else mattered.”She shrugged.“I didn’t want just anyone, nor did I trust just anyone.But I trust you and I want you.”
Snake stood as he smiled at her.“I’d love to see where else we can go with this.I’ve been in love with you too.All this time, I’ve only wanted you and now I won’t let anyone stop us from being together.”He removed his cell phone and told her, “I will text Saint first.”
“I’m going to feed Bucky.”Nodding at him, she left the room.
After a few more minutes, they hurried out the door and Bucky followed.It was only a short walk then they arrived at the main house.
Saint opened the door.He looked at Snake then over at Della and stepped back to let them in.“Everyone is in the security room waiting for you.Thrasher found out some of what the Devils have been doing and damn, your brother is in deep with this group.”
Della nodded.“And now he thinks he knows exactly where I am and he’ll be hunting me.”
Saint looked down at her and blurted out, “Why would your brother be hunting you?”
“Because he sold me to get a place at the leader’s table.But I ran away years ago.He needs to make good on turning me over to a man what would use and abuse me.”
Saint stopped dead in his tracks and exclaimed, “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Della shook her head.“This isn’t the first time he almost caught up with me but hopefully it will be the last.I just don’t want anyone else to get hurt on my behalf.When I was alone, it never bothered me because I could just run away but now Jack won’t let me run.”Shaking her head she added, “But you need to know firsthand exactly who and what you’re up against.”
“Yeah, we do,” Saint admitted.“And that means you have to tell us about everything.Every little detail you can think of so we know exactly what we can expect from your brother and his lowlife friends.”
Della shook her head as she sighed hard as they paused at the door of the security room.“And that’s the hardest part.My brother made certain choices a long time ago.Choices he never should have made but he made them anyway.Now the time has come to pay for that.”
Saint reached out and wrapped his hand around her arm.
Bucky growled and came to stand between them.
Saint looked down at the dog and carefully released her.He stood very still for a moment then he said, “Look, no one here will ever raise their hand against you.We don’t believe in that shit.But if anyone comes here looking to hurt you, they will have to go through each and every one of us to get to you.I don’t care if that’s your brother or not.You hear what I’m saying here?”
