“Shit, Angel, I’m sorry.”
“You should be.”
There she was. I smiled. “I was gonna keep you safe, Lyric.”
“I figured. But it’s not the same.”
I stroked her back. “Safe’s safe.”
“Safe by the man you love who doesn’t love you back, is not nearly as good as safe by the man you love who loves you back.”
I kissed her nose. “You’ve got a point.”
“Who’s watching your shop?”
“Rabbit and Alamo.”
“How long can you stay?”
“At least a week.” I slid a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I’m not leavin’ without you, though, so we’ll need to work that out.”
“Jaxon and Harmony want me here until the Garrett thing is sorted.”
“The Garrett thing could take a while, so we need to figure out an alternative that keeps you safe, but keeps you with me.”
She raised an eyebrow. “What do you propose?”
“Haven’t gotten that far yet,” I confessed. “You wouldn’t be willing to live at the compound until he’s behind bars or dead would you?”
She rolled her eyes. “No. If I’m not in my own home, then I want to be here with my sister. I don’t get to see her and the kids nearly enough as it is.”
“What about Booger?”
“Booger’s a cat, he’s happy eating dead things. Besides, he’s being well cared for and you know it.”
I sighed. “What about me?”
She smiled. “Am I, or am I not, sitting in your lap right now?”
“Yeah, but you’re not on my dick, are you?”
Her nostrils flared and her mouth parted as she gasped quietly. “Let me fix that.”
“You do that, Angel.”
Kicking her flipflops off, she lifted her skirt and straddled me, her heat pressing against my already hard cock, and kissed me deeply. Staring down at me, she stroked my beard. “I love you, Lincoln.”
“Love you, too, Lyric.”
“I want you to do me a favor,” she whispered.
“Anything.”
“I want you to fuck me super dirty.” Slipping her thumb into my mouth, she smiled. “From behind.”
Jesus, I didn’t think my dick could get any harder, but it did. I wrapped my arms around her and stood, kissing her again. She hooked her legs around my waist as I carried her to the bed and dropped her gently onto the mattress.
Before I could get her clothes off, however, someone banged on the door, and I had a feeling I knew exactly who it was.
