My lips part as I stare. This is the kind of ring Jess and her friends would froth over.

Jess.

My breath hitches. “Jake?”

“What?” I feel him tense under me.

“If Toni is going to prison, where is my sister?” My eyes lift to meet his.

He picks up his phone from nightstand as he types in what can I only assume is a text. “I’ll find out,” he answers.

He stares at the screen, waiting for a response and then types something back.

I haven’t seen any electronics since we arrive, and for a moment, I look at it blankly, knowing I should be plotting to get that phone. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.

And yet, I don’t care. I don’t want to leave. I think I’ve made my decision. I’ll stay, and let Jake’s very large shadow protect me. And I’ll try to heal those wounds I’ve been carrying for so long instead of running from them.

I never wanted to trust a man with my heart but for the first time in actual years, I’m ready to give myself to someone else. Him.

I take a breath, folding my hands on his chest.

“Jess is fine,” he answers.

“How do you know?”

“The guard who let you out…” He winces as I lift my head.

“The one she was blowing?”

His brows lift. “No wonder he was so quick to act,” he mutters, with a shake of his head. “Anyway. The moment Toni set off that bomb, Mike left with her.”

My eyes go wide. “Wait. She got kidnapped too?”

Jake shakes his head. “Kidnapped? He’s my cousin and not actuallya guard, though he is in security directly under my leadership. And while he’s not one of the five shareholders, he does very well as the head of security for the Kincaid casinos. You tell me how much convincing your sister needed.”

A smile breaks out on my face. “You’re telling me that my sister is also being protected by a Kincaid?”

“Well, technically his name is Mike Brody. But yes, she’s under Kincaid protection. Like I said, we don’t hurt women.”

I surge forward, kissing his lips hard and fast because it’s more than I ever imagined. In my perfect world, I’d have my sister and my scumbag father would be in prison.

My legs naturally fall to either side of his, cradling his hips as my fingers twine into his hair.

I don’t even know how to thank him, but I do know a few things I want to do to show my affection.

His hands come to my ass, taking both cheeks in his hands and squeezing, pulling me tighter into his already rock-hard cock.

There is no part of me that wants to hold back in this moment, and I rock into him, the head of his cock slipping through my still wet folds.

We both groan because this time the press of his head doesn’t hurt like it did yesterday. Not that I’m worried about the pain.

I want to be Jake’s and I don’t care how much it costs.

But he’s still got his hands on my ass, and he stops me from taking more of him. “Are you sure, baby?”

“I’m sure,” I whisper against his lips. “So sure.”

“Nice and slow then. We don’t want to hurt you.” And then he slowly loosens his grip allowing me to slowly sink down on him.
