“Not if I kill her first,” I drawled, and damned if that didn’t get his attention. “The Dragons are a pain in everyone’s ass, and I plan on forcing ‘em to disband.” Oh, yeah, he was listening, all right. “You help me out here, their territory is yours.”
It was prime territory. A city spot that no one other then The Lost Boys held.
Yeah. Tama was listening.
I don’t think he understood how this worked because the cocky fuck felt the need to negotiate. “I still want Molly.”
A short bark of a laugh left me. “You can’t have her.” My mirth faded to nothing and I laid it down. “You get the territory or you get nothing. But greedy fuckers get a parting prize too,” I told him. “A free hole in the head.”
At that, the giant man actually cracked a smile. He seemed to contemplate my offer, and he did this a long while before he stood, and said, “I’ll talk to my men. Get back to you.” I stood and walked him out of the kitchen, but when he suddenly twisted back to face Molly, he paused a second, then muttered, “Coming?”
To say she was stunned was an understatement. Her brows creased, looking like she was in a huge amount of pain, and her mouth parted in disbelief, but she didn’t move.
The giant Maori watched her a moment before his lips thinned, and he nodded in understanding before continuing out the door. What he didn’t see was Molly move to stand.
I stopped her with, “You’re not going.”
She looked completely rattled, as though she was being pulled in all different directions and she wanted to follow them all.
“Molly, you’re twenty-two. He’s my age,” I said sternly. “You can’t go with him.” When her eyes narrowed on me, I fought a chuckle but shook my head, muttering, “I’m not allowin’ this, girl. Sit your ass down.”
And when her eyes flashed and she snarled, “Fuck you!” she rushed to her room a moment before returning with her bag.
I forced out a long sigh. “Get back here, Molly.”
But she ignored me, running after him. “Tama!”
The front door slammed shut, and from the window, both Lexi and I watched on as Tama turned just as Molly launched herself at him, and the second her caught her, their lips met in a hard, desperate kiss that had me grinning in victory.
By my side, Lexi sounded irritated. “It’s not up to you who she’s with, Twitch. She loves him and—” When she faced me, her big blues narrowed down at my lips. “Why are you smiling?”
My baby.
God, she was beautiful.
Gently moving her hair behind her ear, I continued to smile, as I stated, “I don’t pretend to know much about women, but I do know one thing. They do not like when you tell ‘em what to do. Or to stay away from somebody they want.”
I saw the exact moment she caught on. Her eyes widened and she dipped her chin to hide her smile, and when she finally looked up at me again, her eyes were full of mirth. “You sneaky shit. You did all of that... said all of that on purpose, knowing she’d go to him.”
Tama carried Molly to his car, kissing her like she was air and he was dying to breathe again. Fully deadpanned, I uttered, “Oh no. Molly, come back.”
Lexi tipped her head back and laughed out loud, and I grinned down at her flushed and smiling face before my heated gaze landed on her full lips. “I need that mouth, Mama.”
Her eyes flashed a moment before they turned lusty, and I loved how after all this time, we were still as affected by each other as we were in the beginning. “Just my mouth?” She sounded disappointed.
I shook my head slowly as I took her hand, pulling her close. “Every journey needs a starting point.”
A choked sound left me as her greedy fingers came out to rub my cock through my jeans. Her voice breathy, she let out a hushed, “Aren’t you going to tell me off?”
She wanted to be told off.
Fuck me. She was perfect.
But today, I just wanted my smiling, sweet angel. Just her. And I wanted all of her. “Touch me.”
Walking her backward down the hall, I kept my eyes on her, and she kept her small hand on my straining fly. When I lowered my face to kiss her, she backed away playfully, smiling as she avoided my lips, and my heart did this weird kind of jittery thing.
Huh.
That was different.
Whenever I was around this woman, I couldn’t seem to keep my hands off her or my pants on.
The second we were in the bedroom, I put my hands to the bottom of the cotton dress she wore and whipped it off, and the sight of her in her tiny lace panties and matching white bra...
