“Lilith, baby, I know that you are scared of this fucker, but he will not get close enough to you to touch you. What happened with the prospect was a slip up, and we will be doubling protection. And I agree with Finan, staying at the club is for the best for now.”

“What about the shop? I still need to open and bake cakes and make candy.” Her voice is low, and filled with fear, and it guts me that I can’t stop her feeling this way just yet.

That cunt cop did a number on her when he fucked with her head and emotions.

“You can still go to the shop. We will post a prospect inside of the shop and one outside, keeping a close eye on you when I am working,” I promise her.

“Okay, Jack.” Her hand cups my jaw, mirroring what I am doing to her.

Her hands on me ignite my body, and I know that this is not the right time. The moment is sweet and just for us, even with my brothers in the room. Her gaze locks with mine and something deep passes between us; she knows that I will keep her safe.

She knows that I will do everything in my fucking power to make sure that she is never hurt again, by anyone else or me. It is not in my nature to hurt a woman, and if I were pushed, I would just hand her over to my mom.

Everyone fears Risky.

“I love you, Jack.” I smile at her, leaning in and pressing my lips to hers, and she sighs contently.

“I love you too, Red, baby.”

“Okay, enough of this sappy shit, when my woman is not around for me to be sappy with her. Lil, go pack your things, honey. We will take you to the clubhouse and form a plan to make sure this prick stays away from you,” Royal calls to her.

“Okay.” She goes to slip off my lap but stops.

She looks at me, then leans in, kissing me, leaving me fucking breathless, before she jumps up and leaves the room. My gaze follows her until she is out of sight, and I hear the guys chuckling from across the room and Royal, who is sitting in front of me on the coffee table.

“You have it bad, brother.” He smirks.

I nudge his boot with my own, grinning like a lovesick fool.

“He has always had it bad for her,” Lennox states.

I shrug. “Can you blame me? My girl is hot as fuck and sweet to boot.”

“It is the right time for you both now, brother. Back then, with Dom coming into your life, it would have caused you both some shit, and it would have ruined you. Seeing you both now, it will last,” Finan speaks up.

“He has a point. She will be good for both you and Dom. Lilith has a way with him that I think his own mother wouldn’t have. She was rotten through and through, man. I am glad that Risky ran that bitch out of town.” Travis grunts and the guys nod in agreement.

“It was partly my fault for not using my own condoms, and I would never regret Dom, but I am glad that he does not have to deal with the bullshit she would have brought into his life. Lilith will be good for him.”

“And you and your lonely little cock,” Calder teases, winking at me.

I pick up a cushion and throw it at him, just as Lilith steps back into the room. She looks between us men and shakes her head.

“Do I want to know?”

I jump to my feet, taking the bag from her, tossing it at Calder as Finan takes her suitcase from her.

“Nah, baby, just Calder being a little shit.” I wink and kiss her gently.

“Jack Masters, there is nothing little about me and you know it,” Calder dramatically calls out.

Lilith giggles, stepping to me. I touch my lips to hers as soon as she is close enough.

“You ready?” I ask.

She looks at me for a few seconds, like she is trying to convey what she is feeling, but I know, because I feel the same way.

“Yeah, Jack, I am ready.” She nods.
