“That makes me unbelievably fucking happy, Ice.”
“Because you’re an asshole,” I mutter.
“Probably, but I don’t really give a fuck.But, I’m feeling the need to celebrate…”
“I have to tell you, Liam.I’m not ready to bend over my desk, so if that’s what you’re thinking, you can get that thought out of your mind for now.”
“I can wait as long as you can,” he says with a smirk that tells me I just might be in trouble…
Chapter15
Fury
“Damn it!”I growl, tossing my phone onto the table.
“What’s wrong?”Ellie asks coming in from the kitchen.
“The guy I told you that I’ve spent the last year tracking?”
“Yeah?”
“Sister Evangaline just called.I showed her a picture of this fucker and told her he was dangerous.I told her to contact me if she heard from him.”
“He showed up,” Ellie murmurs.
“Yeah, Ice.I’m fucking sorry, but I’m going to have to cancel on dinner tonight and go over and see what is going on.”
“Can’t you go tomorrow?”she asks, watching me closely.If she only knew how much I want to tell her yes.I can’t though.If there’s even the smallest chance that I might be able to catch Wolf and end his sorry life, then I need to act immediately.
“He just left from there, Ice.If there’s a chance that I can get this asshole, I need to.”
“You’re playing hitman again, aren’t you?”
“Damn straight.This motherfucker deserves to die, Ice.He almost killed Devil, he destroyed Torrent’s life.I want him dead and I want him to fucking suffer when he does it.”
“So the conversation we had yesterday, was just that, right?Nothing has really changed.”
“I am who I am, Ellie.You know that.The club is part of me.”
“And I just have to adapt and pray that whatever you do, doesn’t destroy what we build together,” she responds, watching me closely.I know this is a pivotal moment and a lot rides on it.I can’t lie to her, though.If we go forward it has to be with her eyes wide open.So, I do the only thing I can.
“You leaving nearly destroyed both of us, Ellie.It didn’t change how I feel about you though and I think you still feel the same about me.So tell me, is your solution any better than mine?”
“You don’t have a solution.You just want to me to accept it and ignore the consequences.”
“I want you to love me, Ellie.That’s what I’ve always wanted.I want you to love me the exact same way I love you.”
“Liam…”
“What are your biggest fears about me, Ellie?”
“That you’ll always put your club first when it comes to us and do whatever they ask, not caring what it will do to us.”
“That’s a mouthful…” I respond, rubbing the back of my neck, thinking about what she just said.I let out a sigh as I devise a way to attack her fears.
“You asked,” she says with a shrug, her gaze never wavering.
“Fair enough.How about you answer two questions for me, Ellie.”
