She nodded. “I’ll be there.”

We stared at each other for a solid minute, then she dropped to her knees and damn near swallowed my dick.

Saturday, after our session with Sage, we stuck around the club. Someone turned on the jukebox. A couple of club girls started dancing, and Elenore joined in. My woman had many talents, but dancing was not among her skills. However, her lack of ability didn’t keep her from trying, a trait I both loved and respected. I’d never learned any modern dances, but even I could tell her moves were outdated. Was that… the mashed potato? Now, she was fishing, throwing her line out toward me. I pantomimed being hooked and let her reel me in. We had to look ridiculous, but I didn’t give a fuck. I would act a fool any day of the week for the grin currently stretched across Elenore’s face.

I reached her, and she wrapped her arms around me, leaning against my chest.Pour Some Sugar on Meby Def Leppard wasn’t exactly a slow song, but she didn’t seem to care. We swayed to our own beat, which pretty much summed us up.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” I said, sniffing the top of her head. I would never tire of her sweet scent. She smelled like home, safety, and acceptance, like everything I’d never believed I could have. We were still working out the details of our future together. I was determined to never allow secrets or lies to come between us, which was why I needed to confess.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“I handled your Cameron problem.”

Jerking us to a halt, she pushed off my chest to stare at me. “Exactly what did you do?”

“I didn’t break my promise or endanger the chances of his family’s investment.”

“Okay.” She gestured for me to continue.

“The less you know, the better.”

“That statement doesn’t instill confidence.”

“Oh, I’m confident. Confident you’ll never have to deal with that motherfucker again.”

“Roger—”

“Poe, you are amazing. You’re super fuckin’ intelligent and doing shit to help people and make the world a better place.” Today, she’d not only talked to Hound about his pain but also to a couple of other vets as well. She was the most incredible woman on the planet. I was damn lucky she was mine. I would never let her go, and I would protect her at all costs. “You shouldn’t have to deal with shitheads who believe their money entitles them to your time or body. I will never stand back and allow that. He needed to understand my position on the matter.”

“Promise you didn’t break his face?”

I grinned, grateful Morse had talked me into doing things his way. “Didn’t so much as touch him.”

“Is there a chance of him reporting you to the authorities?”

“Only if he wants to ruin his rep. I’ve got him by the shorthairs. Trust me.”

“I do. I trust you, Roger.” With her words reflected in her eyes, she smiled at me, and my chest damn near exploded.

“I told you I was going to murder him,” she said with a wry grin.

Which was precisely why I’d taken care of him. “I didn’t want to risk you going to jail. Especially not after that blowjob. You know I’m gonna want more of those.”

“Play your cards right, and I’ll give you one later in thanks for Harry.”

Despite my concern that she wouldn’t like the stuffed unicorn, she’d immediately named it and stationed it on her bed where it was standing guard.

“Oh, really? How many Harrys am I allowed to get you?”

Her eyes widened. “Just the one. I mean it, Roger. You can’t buy blowjobs with stuffed animals.”

“Okay. I’ll have to find other ways to convince you to put my cock in your mouth.”

“You won’t have to be all that convincing. I quite enjoy it. Besides, I’m sure you’ll spend plenty of time on your knees.”

I nodded enthusiastically. “Every time you let me.”
