Page 144 of His Enforcer

My face heats, and I shrug. “I’m pissed at you. That’s what this is. Marrying me without consent.”

“I’ll make you fucking admit that this was a genius idea. When I get these damn things off.” He holds his arms up, and I see the bandages, really realizing for the first time since I woke up what he did for me. He must see the pain on my face because he shakes his head.

“Don’t. It was hard. But it was worth it.”

The sincerity in his voice makes me melt. “I’m still mad at you. Mostly. And I want a fucking actual wedding, when…noif, I say yes.”

He huffs a laugh. “Fine, pretty boy. We can have your wedding. Whatever you want, whenever you want. As long as you say yes.”

I eye him, and he winks at me.

“I think that’s a yes,” Bane whispers loudly, and Tatum nudges him roughly.

“We need to get you out of here before you ruin any more surprises.”

My gaze meets Luca’s—my husband—and I raise my eyebrows.

“Are there more surprises?”

“No, not that I can think of. But,” he leans forward and lowers his voice so only I can hear, “if I could get you pregnant, I would.”

My breath catches, and he grins at me.

“I may have to try. Fill that hole up as much as I can.”

My dick starts to perk up just as Doc walks in, looking amused.

“No more making his heart race, Luca. Honestly, keep it in your pants, you two.”

Anthony huffs a laugh, and Bane cackles. “No one likes it in their pants, Doc.”

“Definitely not you,” Doc replies.

Bane grins and wiggles on his feet. Anthony clears his throat and then nods to Tatum. “Why don’t you and Jax take Bane and get him some hot chocolate?”

Tatum nods and then links arms with Bane, dragging him out of the room, and Jax follows behind. This leaves Luca and me, Doc and Anthony.

When we’re sure Bane is gone, Anthony sits on the edge of my bed as Doc checks me over.

“We will get you moved home tomorrow. The doctor says your head scans are clear and as long as we continue to monitor you for a concussion, we should be good to go,” Anthony says. “But first, do you remember anything that happened?”

I shake my head. “Just that I ran in looking for Jax and before Icould even start looking, I was hit in the head with something and blacked out.”

“Must have been a wicked hit. Did you see anyone?”

“Not that I remember.”

Anthony runs a hand over his jaw and sighs. “Jax thinks Henry might have hit you with something and fled.”

“You didn’t find him?”

“No, and that’s the reason I didn’t want Bane here. He will lose it when he finds out we were so close and we didn’t get him.”

“Yeah. So what do we do now?”

Anthony looks at Luca. “Well, you two will focus on getting better and while you’re healing, I’ve asked Mikhail to come over with Angel, despite him being in retirement of sorts. He said he’d help us deal with the Sirens.”

“Shit.”
