“It’s time to show you our darkest desire,” Dominic’s voice has goosebumps covering my skin.

I shouldn’t. I have no idea what they want to show me or why we have to go anywhere for it. Standing between them as they watch me and wait with so much patience, I feel like they’re prey.

Before I can really think about all the reasons why I should push them away and leave, I find myself nodding slowly. I hope I can handle whatever they have in mind.

“Good girl,” Hendrix growls and my pussy clenches around nothing and my panties are flooded with my arousal.

Well, fuck.

CHAPTER 12

DOMINIC

It feels like my body is vibrating with the anticipation of what is about to happen. The vehicle is quiet, all of us lost in our heads. I’m sure Wolfe and Hendrix are thinking about what is about to happen. If Kirby knew what she’s about to face, she’d be doing the same thing.

When I opened the door to find our woman, her face a mask of fury and pure fucking frustration, my cock turned into a steel rod in my pants. I’ve never seen anything sexier. I wanted to pull her against my chest and soothe her, but she wasn’t about to give me the chance.

The way she poked me and stepped right up to me without a hint of fear made me fall even deeper in love with our woman.

Yes. Love.

As wild as it is, it took almost no time at all for me to know that I’ve fallen in love with our little Phoenix. I’m not alone either.

I can see the softness in the eyes of my brothers whenever they look at Kirby.

She brings something into our lives that we’ve been missing for far too long while she’s also come into our lives at just theright time. We needed the time and the distance between who wewerein order to become who weare.

I don’t think we could have grown our business to what it is now if it hadn’t happened the way it did. Then there’s everything Kirby had to work through and figure out. Would we have been good for her then? I want to say yes, but I’m not so sure.

It took the three of us to diffuse her anger, righteous as it was.

I’m sure I shouldn’t have been thrilled to find out that she’s been struggling with her job over the last few days, but I was. While it’s not easy to admit, I do think Hendrix was right about giving Kirby some time and a little space. She did come to us, just like he said she would.

I glance over at him as he drives out to the land we own, and the smug little smile on his face tells me he’s probably thinking the same thing I am. He was right.

Fuck, we’ll probably never hear the end of this.

Curiosity and apprehension drip from the words as Kirby asks, “Where are we going?”

I’m not surprised that she’s chosen to ask now. The city is behind us and we’re moving farther away from the heart of Seattle. If she weren’t safe this is about when she should worry. But she is safe with us.

She’ll always be safe with us. I’ll make sure of it. Hell, I’ll kill someone just to ensure it.

That’s not something she knows yet, but she will. All we need is some time to prove it to her. Sure, we could tell her until we’re blue in the face, but without the actions to back up the words, it’ll be hollow.

“To some land we own,” I tell her simply, unsure of what, exactly, we should share before we get out there.

She’s already given us a lot of trust by agreeing to go with us while not knowing where we’re taking her. My cock throbs with the knowledge of just how special what she’s granted us is.

Figuring out we aren’t going to tell her more, not yet at least, Kirby makes a humming sound in the back of her throat. Silence wraps around us, but it doesn’t bother me.

It doesn’t take much longer before we’re pulling off the road and onto a dirt road that leads to the heart of the land we own. Now that we have Kirby in our lives, it might be time to build something out here.

Of course, we’ll still have to travel for work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t come back here between jobs. We could have a place to call home.

It’s not something I was interested in having before, but now there’s a certain appeal that I can’t ignore. Knowing my brothers, I have no doubt that I’m not the only one who has been thinking about the same thing.

We have plenty of money to throw at making it happen relatively quickly. It’s not like we’ve had much to spend our money on. Now, with Kirby in our lives, I have this need to spoil her.
