“Thanks.See ya in a few.”
With a resigned sigh, I turned back to Reagan.She was sitting up, watching me.
“Wolfe said there’s trouble.Need to head over to the shop.”I cocked an eyebrow.“You wanna go with me?”
She nodded almost shyly.
For whatever reason, that hit me in a way that had my breath halting in my lungs.This woman…
Reaching for her, I pulled Reagan closer, my lips finding hers.I kept the kiss gentle, although it would be so damn easy to strip those little shorts off her and bury myself inside her sweet, warm depths.
Damn, this woman did crazy things to me.I'd never felt anything like this, and Lord knew I'd tried my damnedest to get her out of my head all these years.
It had been impossible and I even knew why.
I loved this girl.Deeply.In that forever sort of way.
And now, if we could get past this crazy shit taking place in our small town, I might just be able to start focusing on the future with her.
That was my plan anyway.
Reagan
I couldn’t deny the disappointment of having to leave my house when I'd had Lynx right where I wanted him, but I understood it.
Even now, as I sat in one of the wooden chairs at the Cedar Door shop, I got it.
“What I don’t get is how they could lose one guy,” Lynx groused.“How fuckin’ hard is it to keep him in their sights?”
Rhys shrugged.“Shit happens, I guess.”
That seemed to appease Lynx, although I could tell he was irritated by all of it.And that I understood, too.
My gaze shot over to Amy.The woman was tense, clearly worried.I couldn’t blame her in the least.This man had wreaked havoc on all their lives, but no one had endured anything compared to the hell Amy had lived.I wanted to take the asshole out myself just to keep my friend safe.
“So, what’s the plan?”Wolfe asked, his voice rough.“We can’t stay holed up in this place forever.”
Before Rhys could respond, the shop door opened and in walked…
Travis Walker.
Well, not only Travis this time.Yes, his husband was right behind him, but so were… Damn.The line of men who waltzed in behind him seemed to be endless.Not to mention worthy of being on a calendar or something.
“Well, hot damn!”Lynx bellowed, moving toward the group.“If it ain’t trouble times seven.”
Travis grinned.
“I’ll be right back,” Rhys said, reaching for his phone and putting it to his ear as he headed toward the door.
As my brother left, the newcomers shook hands with Lynx and did the bro-hugging thing.Loud slaps on the back and a few rounds of laughter echoed in the cavernous space.
“Come on over here,” Lynx stated.
When his eyes landed on mine, I forced a smile and stood from my chair.
“Y’all, this is my girl, Reagan Trevino.She’s Rhys’s sister.”Lynx put his arm around me.“Reagan, you remember Travis and his husband, Gage.These are Travis’s brothers.Ethan, Sawyer, Kaleb, Zane, and the twins, Braydon and Brendon.”
“Lynx was spoutin’ somethin’ about havin’ a girl back at the Labor Day bonfire,” the one Lynx pointed out as Brendon stated.“However, none of us ever saw you, so we thought you didn’t really exist.”
