“Oh my God, Carter. Really?”
I trail soft kisses up the side of her neck until I make it to her ear.
“When you blush, it makes my cock hard as a rock. While you sit through dinner, I hope you think about me fucking you. That's all I’ll be thinking about.”
The rest of our dinner is spent with pleasant conversation but every once in a while Heather glances my way and I see it written all over her face. She’s thinking about it. I love the effect I have on her. I think we all do. I’m not really thinking about fucking her right now though. I’m thinking about marrying her. It’s something I think about constantly. I want her in every possible way. She’s my life and I want to be hers too. For eternity.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
KILLIAN
“Where’s Kage?” I ask, noticing their missing brother as I cut into my ribeye.
“He is back home. I can’t leave the entire business unattended for too long. And Hadley is one of our lawyers, so she’s at home handling our legal matters.”
Carter glances at me, and I know he is probably wondering the same thing I am.
“Do you deal with authorities frequently?”
He shakes his head as he chews his bite of food and swallows.
“No, they aren’t an issue for us because the majority are in our pocket.”
He takes a drink of his water and continues.
“We have politicians and feds as well. Law enforcement is a non issue, but we still take precautions. Excited fresh cops just out of the academy can cause headaches nobody wants. It’s nothing we can’t handle, but we try to avoid it when we can.”
Carter arches a brow and looks at him skeptically.
“Are arrests common?”
Psycho answers for him and Reaper nods in agreement.
“No, but if you join us and get arrested, you don’t say a fucking word and trust we will get you out. You’d be paid well, not for the work you do but for your silence.”
None of us disagree with that because it’s always how we’ve operated.
Bones glances at all three of us, his dark stare could be unnerving to some but it doesn’t bother me.
“Until recently, you ran a chop shop—a criminal enterprise. I’m sure you’ve had someone break your rules. How did you handle that?”
I shrug and answer honestly.
“They die. Once someone betrays us they can never be trusted again.”
He holds his fork up, pointing it at me.
“I already knew that. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had a conversation about you joining our business.”
Leaning down, I speak low next to Heather's ear so no one else hears me.
“I didn’t forget about your punishment, baby.”
She squeezes her thighs together as her cheeks redden.
“Mission accomplished.”
She turns to me, her glare furious, but her eyes lie because we both know she’s turned on thinking about my belt striking her ass.
