Unable to resist, I stepped right into her personal space and put my hands on her hips.She tilted her head back, keeping her eyes on my face.
“Yeah,” I whispered.
“I’m not?—”
I shut her up by crushing my mouth to hers, thrusting my tongue past her lips when she gasped in surprise.Without hesitation, Reagan kissed me back, and I knew right then, without a doubt, this woman belonged to me.Now and forever.
And if it meant turning the town upside down to prove that to her…
Goddamn, I was up for that challenge, too.
Reluctantly, I pulled back.It wasn’t easy, considering I wanted to pick her up and carry her back to my bed, only this time I'd be there with her and she’d be naked beneath me, her thighs cradling my hips while I…
Yeah.Not fucking helping.
“We have to go to the diner,” I whispered, my voice rougher than usual.
“For?”I liked that she was as breathless as I was.
Taking a deep breath, I stood tall and stared down at her.“Wolfe called.We have to meet Travis and Gage.Apparently they’re bringin’ a lawyer.”
“A lawyer?”
I shrugged one shoulder.“Yeah.I have no idea, but he wants us there.”
She nodded.“I’m ready.”
“We gotta take Cope over to the store first.”
Another nod.
I didn’t want to move from there, but I knew I had to.They had shit to do, and as much as I wanted her, the incident with Tammy was still fresh in Reagan’s mind, and I knew she wasn’t ready for what I wanted.
And no matter what, I wasn’t about to take the next step until she trusted me completely.
For that to happen, I had to prove myself.
Which I would do.
A million times over if that was what it took.
ChapterSixteen
Reagan
Isat between my brother and Lynx at a group of tables they’d pulled together to accommodate the large number of people who had arrived at the diner to chat about… Honestly, I wasn’t sure what this meeting was about, but I knew one thing.I didn’t want to be here.
The introductions had been brief, consisting mostly of first names.Since I knew most everyone at the table, I hadn’t been listening, choosing instead to wipe the condensation from my glass with one finger.
“Wait,” Rhys said.“Your last name is Adorite?”
My brother was talking to the beautiful woman we were introduced to earlier.Apparently, she was a lawyer, or going to school to be one, but I didn’t quite know what she specialized in, nor did I know how her being here was going to help the situation.It seemed we needed more guns and fewer people, since this crazy fuck was on a rampage, trying to kill anyone who was even close to Amy.
The woman nodded.
“As in the Southern BoyMafia?”Rhys questioned.The way he said the words didn’t sound as though he was all that impressed.
“Yes,” she replied flatly.
