“Hey, are you listening or did I fry your brain?” Liz asks, tapping me on the chest. We’re lying in bed, naked and she’s sprawled out on top of me.

“Huh? What’d you say?” I ask, teasing her. Even though I have no clue what she said because I was lost in my head.

“I asked if you’ve heard from Rooster about the two things.” Liz folds her hands and rests her chin on them, looking up at me with those sensual blue eyes.

I blink once, then twice, trying to figure out what she’s talking about when it dawns on me. “Not yet. He’s still looking.” I wrap my arms around Liz’s back and hold her against me.

“Does he have any idea how long it’ll take?” Liz bites her lip when she asks, looking down instead of at me.

“Is there a reason why you’re in a hurry for Rooster to find them?” I counter.

Liz shakes her head no, but I know she’s lying. “Elizabeth Rose, you better tell me the truth,” I demand.

Liz’s eyes snap up to mine and there is fire in them. Good girl. Get pissed off enough to tell me the truth. “Fine. I want to fight.” Liz huffs.

“Was that so hard?”

“No,” she pouts.

“Then don’t tell me what you think I want to hear. Just tell me the truth. If you want to fight, I’ll set up a fight for you. There is nothing wrong with it, Liz.” I lift her chin so she can’t dip her chin again. “Do you hear me? There is nothing wrong with you wanting to get into the ring and fight. Besides, I find it quite sexy.” I wink.

Liz leans in and kisses me but before we can go further, my cell phone rings. “Fuck,” I growl. Liz moves off me and I climb out of bed. Finding my phone in my jeans I discarded last night, I pull it out at the same time it stops ringing. It immediately rings again and Rooster’s name flashes across the screen.

“Yeah,” I say, answering the phone.

“Bout damn time.” Rooster chuckles. “I was going to visit you but didn’t want to see you in your birthday suit. Get dressed and get down here. I’ve found something.” Rooster hangs up the phone before I can respond.

“I’ve got to see what Rooster found. Are you staying here or heading downstairs?” I ask, leaning over Liz and kissing her.

She smacks her lips together, drawing her eyebrows down in a frown. “I’ll head downstairs with you. I’m getting hungry.” Liz’s eyes drift down to my erection and she raises an eyebrow.

“Not for me, woman. I have to see Rooster.” I laugh and back away.

“That ass is such a cock-blocker. I’m going to give him hell when I see him.” Liz slides off the bed, heading to the bathroom. Before she can shut the door she mumbles, “Maybe I’ll make a voodoo doll of Rooster and when he’s getting ready to get head from Alyssa, I’ll poke him in the dick. Then I’ll be the cock-blocker.” She shuts the door and I can’t help barking out a laugh.

Rooster would lose his shit if Liz even pretended to make a Voodoo doll of him. I slide my boxers and jeans on and grab a fresh t-shirt from the closet, a clean pair of socks and my boots. I’m dressed by the time Liz comes out of the bathroom, still naked. She pouts when she sees I’m fully dressed.

“Come on, woman. Get dressed and if you’re good, I’ll reward you later.” I tell her, smacking Liz’s ass when she walks by.

“How good do I have to be? Is there a level I can’t go beyond?” She asks sliding a pair of silk underwear on. She slides a Savage Saints tank top over her head with no bra. I know whatshe’s trying to do and I have to nip it in the ass before she goes too far.

“Sweet Cheeks,” I stride to Liz in three quick steps.

“Yes?” Liz asks, batting her eyes.

I nuzzle my lips against the side of her neck, making Liz putty in my hands. I nip the sensitive part of her flesh before speaking. “Put a fucking bra on or I’ll have to murder someone. And I’m not feeling murderous today.”

Liz inhales a sharp breath and gives me a saucy grin. “Ok, but I’m still making a Voodoo doll of Rooster. I just won’t tell him I’m not going to use it against him, yet.”

“Deal. I’ll even help you fuck with him. I’m sure Poison will be down with it too. She’s always looking for ways to fuck with one of us.” I peck Liz on the lips one last time. I swat her ass, “Now get dressed.”

Liz slips on a bra under her tank top and gives me a wink. God, I love this woman.

Holy shit.

I love this woman.

“Earth to Ace.” Liz snaps her fingers in front of my face. “Are you with me or did I lose you again?”
