Now and forever.
ChapterThirty-One
Amy
“You scared me outta my fuckin’ mind,” Wolfe growled, thrusting his hand through his hair.
I watched him closely, hating that I'd put that fear in his eyes.It was true, I had slipped outside, wandered over to the side of the building, and sat on the stone wall that surrounded the air conditioning unit.It was a secluded spot where Donna would sneak out to smoke from time to time.I knew no one would see me from the parking lot, so I felt safe there, hidden.But I had only gone out there because I had needed a few minutes to myself.With so many people asking me if I was okay, I had felt like my brain was going to explode.It didn’t help that everyone seemed to be focused on me, the worry making me feel like an outcast.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered.And I was.Truthfully, I hadn’t gone far and I definitely hadn’t intended to send everyone into a panic.“I didn’t realize y’all were lookin’ for me.And I couldn’t hear you because the air conditioner was so loud.”
“I know,” Wolfe said softly.
“I really am sorry.”
“Don’t apologize,” he rumbled.“I’m not blamin’ you.”He took a step closer, then another until he was close enough to touch me.“I’m just tellin’ you how I felt when I couldn’t find you.”
I watched as his eyes locked with mine.
“I can’t lose you, Amy,” he whispered roughly.“You and Rhys… Y’all are my everything.I want you to understand that.”
I did.How could I not?The man’s emotions were written on his face.Every time he touched me, kissed me … I couldfeelit.
“I never meant for this to happen,” I told him, holding his stare.“Never wanted it.”
Wolfe pulled me into his arms.“I know that, darlin’.God, I know.And if I could make it all go away, I would.”
Wrapping my arms around him, I held on.I felt safe with Wolfe and Rhys.But at the same time, it terrified me that I might lose them.With Kelly out there… I knew what he was capable of.I had lived it.And he had told me that I would not live without him.I knew what that meant.
And any second now, I expected him to make good on that promise.
The worst part … I was terrified something would happen to Wolfe or Rhys.At that point, my lifewouldbe over.
And I feared Kelly knew that.
Which meant the nightmare would continue until we found him.
Until we stopped him.
Lynx
I had so much on my mind, so many things I wanted to say to Reagan, but I couldn’t make my voice work.Instead, I settled on showing her.
Which was the very reason I carried her inside, never wanting to let go.Even now, as I stripped us both, my mouth sliding over her smooth, warm skin, I couldn’t seem to break away from her.
“Lynx,” she moaned softly when I sucked one nipple into my mouth, pulling her closer as I laid her back on the bed.
“I fuckin’ love when you say my name.”I would never tire of it, not if I lived to be two hundred.
When I tried to kiss down her body, Reagan’s fingers tugged roughly on my hair, pulling a ragged groan from my chest, the sensation making my dick throb.
“Inside me,” she insisted roughly.“Right.Now.”
I grinned, unable to refuse her anything.
Sitting back on my knees, I rolled the condom over my length, watching the sexy woman laid out before me.Her eyes were traveling over my body, leaving heat in their wake.
“Turn over,” I commanded, meeting her gaze.
