“I will try,” she promises.
“What is it you’re so scared of happening to me?”
“You mean besides you going to jail and leaving us separated for the rest of our lives?”
“Aren’t we separated now, Ellie?You’re making your worst-case scenario come true and I don’t have a thing to do with that.”
I watch as she considers what I’m saying.Her face changes and I hope that means I’m getting through to her, but I don’t have any way of truly knowing.I watch the way her throat works as she swallows, my gaze drawn to the nervous way she licks her lips.God, she’s fucking gorgeous.Everything about her turns me on.
“Give me five minutes to change,” she mutters, turning away.
“To change?”
“If you’re going to this church searching for Voldemort, I’m going with you.”
“Voldemort?”I ask, not knowing what in the fuck she’s talking about.
“Harry Potter?The bad guy to end all bad guys?”
“No idea what you’re talking about, Ice.”
“Have you been living under a rock for the past ten years or more?”she asks, her mouth dropping open in disbelief.
“You’re cute as fuck right now, Baby, but I don’t want you near this fucker.He’d kill you without a thought.”
“Then, I guess you’re going to have to protect me.”
“Ellie…”
“You want me to accept you’re this biker who lives by his own set of rules?Then, you’re going to have to let me try, Liam.”
I frown, trying to intimidate her, but it doesn’t work.She crosses her arms at her waist and waits.
“You always were shit when it came to minding me,” I mumble.
“Oh, please, we were married, you weren’t my daddy.”
“It was fun when we pretended I was,” I tell her with a grin.
“Down boy.We’re going slow, remember?”
“We fucked for the first time on our third date.I’ve been here a week and haven’t even got a kiss, Ice.If we go much slower my poor dick will shrivel up like a prune and be covered in dust bunnies.”
“Oh, gross.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“You keeping putting images like that in my mind and we’ll never have sex again, Liam.”
“Get that cute ass of yours upstairs and change before I spank it,” I growl, my cock growing hard at just hearing her say the word sex.Hell, if I ever do get between her legs again, I may never come up for air.
“You’re letting me go?Does this mean I’ve won an argument with you?”she asks, in complete shock.
“I’m showing you that I’m willing to change, too, if it means you come home where you belong, Ice.Now go, before I regret giving in.”
“I love you, Liam,” she says excitedly, shocking the hell out of me.Then, she kisses me quickly on the lips and bounces upstairs.
“Hey, Ellie?”I call out and she stops midway on the stairs and looks back at me.
