“Well, he’s behind me. Talk.”
Spice smiled coyly. “I don’t want to talk.”
I looked up to the Heavens. The woman just said she wanted to talk to the man, and now she wanted to fuck him. Big surprise there.
With nothing left to do or say, I turned around and held out my hands to Remy who had her head laying on her father’s shoulders. I didn’t want to look at Micah. I didn’t want to see him looking at Spice. She was a sure thing after all. And I had to share a room, a bed with this man.
The thought of him being with Spice and then coming to bed with me made me want to throw up. I could actually feel the fantastic beef stew starting to come up, and it took effort to swallow it down.
This couldn’t be happening. I’d need to find Blaze and get Remy out of there, away from that mess. There was already too much shit going on in my life. I sure as hell didn’t want to add more to it.
A nightmare. That was what I was living.
Remy didn’t come to me, and the feeling of defeat hit me hard. My own kid didn’t want to be with me. Inside my gut twisted as all the feelings throughout this entire situation came over me hitting every nerve ending.
Part of me wanted to scream. Part of me wanted to cry. Part of me wanted to fight. Part of me wanted to find a dark place, curl up in a ball, and get away from all the craziness that was my life.
Neither of these were options for me.
“Ens,” Micah called to me, and I didn’t want to look at him. Spice was still talking, but I zoned her out. I didn’t want to see something in his eyes that would kill me, so I shook my head.
His hand came to my chin and physically lifted it. Since it was completely childish for me to keep my eyes closed like I really wanted to do, I met his gaze.
Micah’s hand went to the back of my neck as he pulled me to him. His head lowered and then his lips were on mine. They were hot and powerful. I tried to stay strong and hold my ground, but the way his lips worked did me in.
Soon he’d be able to pick me up off the ground because we both got lost in the kiss. Micah could kiss. How much practice he had, I’d never want to know, but he’d learned a lot over the years. It was like taking me to another world because everything and everyone melted away.
Sounds came from all around us, but it was the little mouth that came to the sides of our joined lips that stopped us. Only then did I see Spice walking away. She was mumbling something, but I couldn’t hear it clearly.Bitch.
Remy wanted to be included in the kiss, which was awkward, but then not. It was then we pulled away from each other, Remy starting to laugh.
All I could do was look into Micah’s chocolate eyes and wonder what danced behind them because after that kiss, I needed to know.
He said he was mine, but I needed to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was telling the truth.
Because if he wasn’t, I was going down in flames.

“Why the fuckare we out here?” Jacks grumbled as we stopped on the side of the road about three blocks from the impound lot. All we needed from this vehicle was the damn prints if there were any.
We needed eyes, though.
Not answering him, I got out and opened up the trunk, making sure to shut off the interior lights. My computers had a dark screen on them that wouldn’t show up in the night.
Tapping into the police cameras at the impound lot was seriously easier than it should’ve been. A good thing for me to remember. Hopefully I’d never need that skill again, but who the hell knew when Ravage was concerned.
“Alright, Mr. Robot. What the fuck you got?” Jacks jabbed, and Nox chuckled. This was going to be a long night if this what I had in store for me.
“Do you want to alert everyone that we’re fuckin’ here?” I said back to him, scanning the lot to find the damn car. It was a black Impala, so it shouldn’t be that hard to find. Said no one ever.
“Dick. Figure it out,” Jacks ordered.
Ignoring him, my heart dropped when the car appeared on the screen. “Fuck,” I growled low.
“What?” Nox asked as I pointed to the screen to show them what we were up against.
