My lips part, my heart galloping. I watch Kane as he pushes into me, sliding easily, lube easing his way.
His throat works, and he meets my eyes in the mirror. There’s fire in his gaze.
Love is in his eyes. Exploding.
“That’s it,” he murmurs, his cock pulsing inside of me. “So good, you’re made for me.”
“I know.” I do know. I think I’ve always known it. It’s almost inexplicable. But it’s real and it’s big. We’re tied now by an invisible cord as strong as steel.
He watches me unravel. Taking him. His expression more possessive than ever.
I cry his name, a throaty gush of air tearing out of my burning throat, as my vision wavers. And like always, Kane shouts, strains, follows me, folding me into his arms.
Only this time, when he gathers me up and carries me to the bed, he presses his mouth against my ear and whispers, “I love you, Eagle.”
FOURTEEN
Kane
Two weeks later
Eagle’s in the kitchen when I find her. The sight trips my heart, making my throat tight. God, I love seeing her here.
I want to buy one of those signs now—the ones that sayhome—because with Eagle here, that’s how this house feels now.
“Hey,” I murmur against her ear as I catch her around the waist from behind, lifting her off the floor. “You want to go with me to town?”
Leaning back against me, she sighs happily. “Where you going?”
“Picking up a new truck.”
She wiggles in my arms, her heels kicking at my knees. “You’ve got to let me help pay for that, Kane. I’m the one who wrecked your truck.”
I plant her back on the ground, kissing her temple. “We’ve already had this conversation.”
“Ugh,” she protests, spinning in my arms. “But I don’t like you having to pay for the deductible and the rental car.”
I squeeze her hip, my cock already stirring and we just had sex an hour ago. Long enough for us to shower and me to hit the gym. “It’s fine, babe. I’ve got plenty of money. Besides, I told you, you don’t have to use any of that money your old man used to give you. You’re mine to take care of now.”
She frowns, crunching her delicate eyebrows hard enough to make my alarm system go off. I don’t like seeing Eagle worried, upset, stressed, or… anything but happy.
“But you lost your job.”
“I’ve got something lined up with Tice. He just secured a big consulting contract. It’s gonna be great. Plus, I had saved up a lot of money—I was planning to buy a special truck for my sister’s animal rescue company.”
She blinks, her brows rocking upward. “Wait. You have a sister?”
Uh.
“I do.” Feeling a bit ashamed of the fact that we haven’t really talked about much other than getting Eagle set up in my home, I add, “A younger sister.”
“How old is she?”
Remarkably, I feel good about this, not distressed like I did before. “She’s four years older than you.”
“Cool.” Eagle smiles, warmth radiating from her pretty face as she traces the back of my neck, weaving her fingers into my hair at my nape. “When can I meet her?”
“You’d like that?”
