Blaze shocked me by scooping me up in his arms. Leaving the bathroom, he took me to his bedroom and placed me on the bed.

“Let’s try something a little different, shall we?” The kiss he placed on my lips was tender and soft.

“Different?” I asked hesitantly, peering up at him.

“You wanted to be fucked, and I was more than happy to give it to you. There’s something I want too. I want to make love to you, Clover.” He smoothed back my damp hair, not caring that it made his pillow wet.

Blaze rubbed his semi-erect cock against me, quickly bringing it back to full height. My mouth went dry at his claim. Make love to me?

He kissed me again, his tongue gently slipping into my mouth, entangling with mine. Emotion drove his kiss, leaving my head spinning. What the hell was happening right now?

My chest squeezed tight as I kissed him back. Warmth filled my belly, spreading through me. Feelings I’d been denying since Blaze was taken by Brady rushed to the surface, blindsiding me with a dose of reality.

I didn’t want to love him. I didn’t want to love any of them. They were everything I’d never wanted. They’d claimed me and owned me. I should hate them with every piece of me.

Except that I didn’t. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to anymore. When Brady had me, all I wanted was to be back with my Angels.

Blaze kissed his way from my mouth, along my chin, and down my neck. His tongue darted out in small bursts to taste mebefore sucking on my hot flesh. A different heat rose inside me this time. A want that came from a deeper place. My arms went around him as I held him close.

Blaze’s cock slid along my wet slit, teasing us both. Finally, he slipped inside me. Slow and passionate, Blaze held me close, our chests pressed together.

I sucked in a shaky breath. A lump formed in my throat, choking me with emotion. We moved together, our bodies united as one. I wasn’t sure anyone had ever made love to me like Blaze. It had always been straight up sex or dirty fucking. Nobody had made me feel this overwhelmed with emotion.

My hands strayed down his back, feeling the taut muscle beneath my fingertips. I became painfully aware of every sinewy muscle, the softness of his skin. The way he felt slowly moving inside me.

It was almost too much for me to take. When Blaze pulled back to gaze into my eyes, I nearly came undone.

“I will die before I let anyone hurt you again,” he murmured, his hand warm on my cheek as he caressed my face. “I swear it. Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to come through me. I’m so fucking in love with you, Clover.”

Did he really say that? My mind stuck on those words, replaying them until I couldn’t deny they were real.

I pulled him in for a kiss, needing to feel his lips on mine. When we broke apart, I heard myself say, “I love you, Blaze.”

He buried his face in my neck, moaning softly as he thrust deep. My hands shook, my body quaking as I embraced the moment.

At some point, I’d fallen for Blaze. I’d fallen for all of them. And that scared me more than anything that had happened so far.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

CLOVER

Four more days passed before we got another tip on Brady and his men. We were at a party with Raina and the Gods when the message came in. Pete had been spotted at a local casino.

So much for getting a chance to girl talk with Raina about the latest developments with the Angels. I needed to tell her about the other night with Blaze. He’d been more affectionate since. Loving in a way that I’d never expected from him.

However, he was still Blaze. Still dangerous and threatening. Still all too happy to choke me while he fucked me until I screamed his name.

Cash was the one who sought me out where I sat in a dark corner of the frat house living room with Lyra and Raina. He winced as he broke into our conversation.

“Sorry, Sunshine. Don’t mean to interrupt or be a buzzkill, but we just got a lead on one of Brady’s men. He’s been spotted at a casino downtown. We should move fast. Do you want to come, or would you rather stay here with the girls?”

As much as I wanted to stay and discuss my emotions and the many questions they brought along with them, I needed to be there. Derek was only the beginning. All three of them had to die, and I had to be there to witness their last breaths.

“No, it’s cool. I’m coming with you.” To the girls I said, “Sorry to cut and run. I can’t miss this.”

“Hell no you can’t,” Raina agreed. “I wouldn’t miss it either if I were you. Call me later and let me know how it goes. Do you guys need any backup?”

Cash shook his head. “Not this time. Thanks. We’ll keep you posted if that changes.”
