I placed my hands on her hips and turned her to face me. Her smile quickly faded when I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly against my chest. I liked having her there in my kitchen. I liked it more than I ever thought I could.She had me wanting things I’d never imagined I’d ever want or need.

She watched me with those beautiful dark eyes as I lowered my head and claimed her mouth. The kiss quickly became heated, and a slight whimper escaped her lips when I stepped forward, pressing her back against the counter. Her arms wound around my neck, and just as we were starting to lose ourselves in the moment, my burner started ringing in my pocket. “Damnit.”

I stepped back and released her from our embrace, then took my phone out and answered, “Yeah?”

“They didn’t accept the offering.” Torch quickly added, “I mean, they took it, but they didn’t accept it.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Someone tossed the duffle bag at the gate. The damn thing was fucking empty. They took everything.”

“So, that’s it?”

“No, they left a note. It basically said, ‘too little too late’.”

“Damn.”

“Yeah, I know you got a lot going on there...”

I glanced over at Londyn, and just as I expected, she was listening intently as I told him, “I’ll be there in twenty.”

I hung up the phone, then turned to her and said, “I’ve gotta go.”

“Will you be back?”

“Probably not. At least, not before you head back.”

“Oh.” Disappointment marked her face as she said, “That’s okay. I have a few things I need to get done at the apartment anyway.”

I brushed her long, blonde hair from her shoulder, then leaned down and kissed her on the neck as I whispered, “Tell me that you’ll come back.”

“I’ll come back.”

“And you’ll stay?” She didn’t immediately answer, so I removed my mouth from her neck and looked her in the eye. “Tell me you’ll stay, Londyn.”

“Yes, we’ll stay,” she answered as she lifted herself up on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I slammed my mouth against hers, and within seconds, the kiss became heated. Damn. This woman had me spiraling out of control. My hands slid down to her ass, lifting her up onto the counter. Her legs instinctively made their way around my waist, and the heat of her body set me on fire, giving me an overwhelming need to extinguish the burn.

Sadly, I didn’t have that option. I had to get to the clubhouse, so I stepped back and shook my head. “You’re killing me, woman.”

Her eyes skirted down to my bulging erection as she smiled and said, “Just giving you something to remember me by.”

“Evil. Pure evil.” I gave her one last quick kiss, then promised, “We will finish this conversation later.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

It was tough, but I forced myself out of the kitchen and into the bedroom. I grabbed my keys and wallet, put on my cut and boots, and on my way out, I yelled, “Bye Dalton!”

“Bye!”

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay!”

I couldn’t help but smile as I closed the door and headed out to my bike. Before pulling out, I glanced up at the house, and I was surprised at how different it seemed. It was no longer just brick and mortar. Having Londyn and Dalton there made it so much more—they made it feel like home.

It didn’t feel right leaving them, but I knew it was only a matter of time before I’d see them again. And when they came back, they would be staying—indefinitely. That gave me the peace I needed to pull out of the drive and head over to the clubhouse.
