“More than you know. If I can do this one thing to try and keep you safe, I will.”

“But you’re saying yes?”

I nod, fighting back a smile. “Yes, I guess I am. Only you and I can know about this, though. And I need you to hold on to that ring for me.”

“Kitten,” he says, his voice soft as he pulls me into him with a smile on his face, “I don’t give a shit about anything else as long as you promise that I get to make you mine forever.”

“Oh, that ship sailed a long time ago. You’re stuck with me.”

“Perfect,” he growls, his face a mask of possessiveness as he claims my lips and grabs my hand, rubbing his thumb over my left ring finger, marking me as his.

Chapter Thirty

Alison

“I’m sorry we couldn’t stay there longer, Kitten,” Logan says as we pull up in front of the house. I turn my head to look at him and smile.

“I’ll forgive you if you promise to take me back there often.”

He grins and grabs my hand, lacing our fingers before he lifts it and presses his lips to my skin. “Anything you want, Sweetheart.”

“You keep saying that and you’re going to be very good at this marriage thing.”

He laughs and pulls me across the seat, tucking me under his arm. “Yes, Your Highness.”

“It’s Your Majesty,” I correct him, and he actually looks contrite.

“My mistake, Your Majesty. Please forgive me.” He places our joined hands over his heart and practically gives me puppy dog eyes.

“Ooh, a quick learner, too. A plus, Mr. Chambers.”

His eyes heat, roaming my body like I’m prime rib as he licks his lips. “Have I ever told you that I’ve always had this sexy teacher fantasy?”

“No,” I say, shaking my head as I reach up and brush my lips against his, “but I’m very interested.”

With a growl, he claims my lips in a vicious kiss, pulling me onto his lap in the cab of the truck as his hand squeezes my ass. He pulls away, breathing hard as his gaze lights a fire across my skin.

“Inside,” he barks, opening the door, and I scramble off him as fast as I can, excited to see where this is going to lead. He goes to the back to let Bear out, and as I walk up the sidewalk, I hear his boots slapping against the pavement behind me. The next thing I know, I’m being tossed over his shoulder.

“Hey!” I squeal, laughing, and he smacks my ass. “I thought we were doing a school teacher bit not a caveman bit.”

“Change of plans. In fact, anytime that you offer to do the school teacher bit I might just get so fucking hard that it turns into a caveman bit.”

“We should get you a club,” I tease.

“Don’t tempt me, Ali.”

Laughing, I smack his ass as he unlocks the door, and he turns his head into me, sinking his teeth into the side of my ass. Just as the front door opens, the roar of bikes fills the air, and I look up as two of them stop in front of the house.

“Hey, what are you two doing here?” I ask as soon as they turn off their bikes.

“We interrupting something?” Kodiak asks, laughing as he climbs off his bike.

“Yes,” I say at the same time that Logan tells them no and I turn, scowling at the back of his head.

“We’re here for bodyguard duty,” Smith says, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back on his bike.

“Well, could you come back later?” All three guys laugh at me, and I huff as I struggle to hold myself up to look at them.
