Emotion clogs my throat as I run my thumb along his jaw. “You’ll never have to miss me again.”
His eyes shine with love as he leans down to kiss my nose once more. “Promise?”
“Promise. I won’t ever walk away again.”
“I wouldn’t let you anyway,” he says before taking my mouth with his. He kisses me hard, his tongue brushing mine as he squeezes my hips, pulling me tighter to him. Neither of us cares that there are currently two people fighting in the room with us. All that matters is us.
Against my lips, Quinn whispers, “My heart is yours.”
“I know,” I quip with a wink.
His deep chuckle runs down my spine and warms the pit of my belly just as Yvette says, “I want you to love me like that, where nothing else in the world matters but me.”
“But I do,” Ava stresses. “My family—”
“Then we leave. We start over somewhere else. Together,” Yvette tries. But I know Ava isn’t going for it, and my heart aches for Yvette.
“No, I can’t. I need him.”
“You don’t,” Yvette says just as I remind Ava, “Nope. You can’t have him.”
Ava closes her eyes, shaking her head, and I can tell she feels the defeat. I would feel bad, but she hasn’t been the nicest and she tried to steal my man.
“I can’t do this,” Yvette says then, and I look over as she locks eyes with Ava. “Either we take the money and start our life together, or I walk away.”
Ava’s mouth falls open. “What?”
“You heard me. I have been patient, but I can’t any longer. Not after I’ve witnessed what real love is. The fight, the need, the passion. Ava, I want that. I deserve that.”
Ava looks at us then back at the woman who is currently holding her bloody heart out for Ava to take. Ava’s eyes are full of shock and fear, and I hope she makes the right decision.
Quinn slides his hand into mine, our fingers threading, before he says, “We’re gonna go. You two need some privacy, and we do too.” He kisses the top of my head. “Send me your banking information, and I’ll transfer the money.”
I hold up my hand to stop whatever Ava wants to say. “Don’t worry, I have it, and the money will be deposited within the hour.”
Ava’s eyes narrow. “You have my banking information?”
I grin the way I do when I want someone to fear me. “I have everything. So, remember that, okay?” I pause then hold up a hand. “If you decide to ruin his career, I’ll ruin you, Ava Mettison. You don’t want to fuck with me.” Ava stares at me in disbelief, and I give her a sugary grin. “I’ll also send you a list of some more secure offshore account options. You picked the worst one, and I wouldn’t want to be able to steal my money back.”
Yvette snorts as Ava gawks at me. Meanwhile, Quinn laughs as he wraps his arms around me, kissing my ear. “It’s so fucking sexy when you go full dangerous hacker on people.”
I look up at him, my lips curving up. “If you’re a good boy, I’ll sit in your lap while I hack away.”
His eyes burn, the blue turning to sapphire as he squeezes my hips, pressing his raging hard-on against my stomach. “Oh Em, you’ll be in my lap, but hacking will be the last thing you’re going to be doing.”
We share a long, delicious look full of desire, before we smile blissfully at each other. The rest of the world falls away, and all I see is him.
My best friend.
My lover.
My forever.
Chapter
Forty
Quinn
Once the door to our apartment shuts behind us, I push Emery up against it. I lift her up so those thick thighs can wrap around my waist. She moans against my lips when I press my throbbing cock into her sweetness, and I grin between kisses. “Fuck, you drive me wild, Em.” When I slide my hands up the backs of her thighs to find her ass bare, my eyes widen. “Emery Elaine, where are your panties?”
She throws a lazy grin at me, hooded eyes meeting mine. “I told you. They’re in your car.”
I almost choke on my tongue. “So, you mean to tell me you went all crazy possessive hacker on Ava with no panties on?”
“I can do a lot of things without panties,” she says before leaning in closer to nip at my bottom lip. “The most important thing being loving you.”
I growl in response, holding her by her ass to carry her to our room. I throw her onto the bed, covering her body with mine, digging my hips into her thighs as I meet her mouth with my own. Between kisses, I whisper against her lips, “We aren’t leaving this bed.” She smiles, threading her fingers through my hair before she pauses with them at the back of my neck. “This bed is ours, this room is ours, this place is ours.” I fucking love how all that sounds, desire swirling in my gut while happiness blazes in my chest. “The spare room will be our office.”
