“Who’s Wolf got coming again?”
“People who will bore you.”
He snorted. “Baby, I’ll sit through anything if I’ve got you at my side.”
This man.
He was the sweetest one I knew.
“You’re ridiculous,” I told him with a small smile.
He winked. “And you love it.”
I did.
“I’ll meet you next door later?” I asked, wrapping the towel around my waist.
“You got it, snook. Love ya.”
Cheeks warming, I glanced away and then back to whisper, “I love you too.” I rushed from the room with a thundering heart over the thought of soon showing him exactly how much he held my heart and soul.

Since I’d beenout on business, I kept on my suit for this lunch Ryo wanted me at and walked through the tunnel from our place to Wolf’s. Still couldn’t believe Wolf had been all for the secret entrance. Though, I think Ruin was the one who talked him into it because he was a lot like me and thought it was cool. Plus, Ryo still worked for Wolf, and it made things a hell’va lot easier getting to and from each other’s place.
Up the stairs, I pushed open the door to the new area in the garage that no one was allowed to enter, and I went to the nextdoor. I pressed my thumb against the security panel, waiting for the beep before the door unlocked and I could open it.
No one questioned how I got in the house or what I was doing there. They were used to seeing me around, and I knew from the years Ryo and I had been together that Wolf’s people were just as loyal as mine were, and they were paid well to keep their mouths closed. No doubt they’d have figured out Ryo and I were together.
Ryo still kept any public displays of affection behind closed doors, but anyone could tell I was completely crazy in love with my man.
When I reached the dining room, I pulled the door open and stepped in, then stilled.
“What the fuck?” I breathed, gaze widening.
Trisha was here. My sister and her husband.
Travis, Violet, and Izzy. Bradshaw and some other trusted guards. A few Hawks members, like Talon and Dodge and their families. Then there was Wolf and Ruin.
They’d all turned my way when I’d walked in.
“Ah, I’m not drunk. And I don’t do drugs, so is this an intervention about me and Ryo? There’s no fuckin’ way I’m giving him up.”
Some chuckled.
But I was damn serious.
Ryo shifted out from behind Travis, and he looked a little green around the gills.
Had these fuckers said something to him?
“You good?” I asked, walking his way. “Because even though I liked these guys, I’ll beat the shit outta them.”
Izzy snorted, and there were more chuckles.
But I was goddamn serious.
I ground my teeth together when I realised I was probably fucking up even more by getting everyone’s attention on Ryo.
