Clearly he knows naff-all about the school system.

“It doesn’t work like that, Kane,” I sigh.

He shifts forward, reaching for my hips, and pulls me until I am standing between his thick thighs. I gasp at the contact, at the heat from his hands seeping through my jeans.

The little contact we have had has always been in comfort. He has never touched me like I have wanted him to. He knew I needed to wrap my head around what happened and find myself again.

I have seen the women who stay at the club, shagging the single men when they feel like getting off. I have stretch marks and a little pouch belly from carrying twins.

“Fuck, I love it when you say my name like that. All breathy and sexy,” he growls, making goosebumps break out across my skin.

“Focus, Kane.” I huff again. “My kids are happy. They are settled.”

I see a flash of sadness in his eyes before he blinks, masking it. I have to step away from his touch because it’s making me feel things I’m not sure I’m ready for. Kane is very intense, yet I get a thrill when he looks at me like he is now.

I feel naked when I’m around him, which is another reason why I need to keep some distance between us.

“They can be settled here. You know, deep down, Elsie, that we will keep you safe. Fuck, you’ve seen it.”

I pinch the bridge of my nose, a headache forming behind my eyes. So much has happened in such a short time.

I hear him sigh, before I look back to him.

“I have proven enough that I will do whatever it takes to keep you and the kids safe. You have to respect that I am only making these decision for you because I know they are what will keep the three of you safe. It will piss you off—fuck me, I will piss you off to no end. That’s just me. But I will never hurt you, baby. I will always ask for your opinion and permission when it comes to Ricky and Ruthie.”

I feel my head nodding because his words resonate around my head, the truth floating with them. I know he will never hurt me, not intentionally anyway.

“I know.” My voice comes out as a whisper as emotion clogs my throat.

Being here, seeing him again after that night, brings everything rushing back. Seeing the softer side to this beast of a man makes my heart yearn for something I’m not sure I’m ready for. My ex-husband did a number on me. But one day, I want what Adele and Una have.

I deserve to find someone who will fucking worship me, body and heart.

I am fucking worthy of a hot man to treat me right.

“Hey, I lost you for a second.” I look at Kane, seeing a frown on his handsome face.

“I don’t know how to do this,” I confess.

My heart hammers in my chest as he pulls me closer again. His large hands rest on the backs of my thighs, trapping me to him. Fear and arousal flood my system, making me confused by it all.

When I lick my lips, he groans low in his throat, and it makes me shiver.

“We take this at your pace, baby. I may look mean as fuck and I may know violence, but it will never touch you. I am the meanest-looking Huskins brother, baby, but I know how to treat a woman.” He winks. “And take care of her kids.”

“I’ll talk to Ruthie and Ricky. If they’re not comfortable here, we will have to think of another plan, Kane. I can’t have my kids unhappy ever again.” My voice is so low, I’m surprised he heard.

He nods. “I understand that.”

I nod to him, offering a smile. He pushes to his feet, making me gasp and step back, but he doesn’t let me get too far. His thick arms slip around my waist as he lowers his head, bringing his lips to mine.

The kiss starts off slow and sweet, until I flick my tongue out, touching his lips. Then all bets are off. He growls deep in his throat, deepening the kiss.

My hands go around his neck, keeping him in place. I can feel how hard he is getting, with his bulge pressing against my stomach, and it makes my body zing with lust for him. But he moves back, groaning as he does.

I suddenly feel cold from the loss of contact from him. He reaches down and adjusts his cock, and I can’t help but grin.

“Fucking minx.” He closes the small gap again, resting his head against mine. “You are not ready for what I want to give you, baby. I need to go, before I lose all control and scare the living shit out of you.”
