“I’m sorry, baby.” Knox dries my tears.
“I just can’t believe you were able to get Bill to give me all that money back with interest and agree to leave me alone.”
He looks a little uncomfortable. “Megan…the guys and me aren’t that much dangerous from people like Bill. You need to know that. I think you do, right?”
“Yes, I know.”
“Cristiano comes from a very influential family. My family and Levi’s have always worked for the Riveras. No one wants to fuck with us because they know it means death if they do. That’s how I was able to do what I did.”
“I don’t care who you are or how dangerous. I’m grateful to you. If you guys didn’t help me, I don’t know what would have happened to me by now.”
“We protect what’s ours,” Knox mutters, resting his heavy hand on mine.
“I’m yours?” I manage a smile.
“I think you already knew that.”
A surge of happiness fills me and I lean forward to kiss him, losing myself in his kissable lips.
He pulls out of the kiss and gives me a sexy smile. “How about we finish that later?”
“We better.”
“Oh, we will. Now let’s get the fuck out of here.”
He guns the engine and as we speed down the road, I think of how grateful I am to each of my guys.
My guys…
How can they all feel like mine?
They do though and I know exactly how to repay them for what they did for me.
When Knox takes me back to Cristiano’s house and I see him standing in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room, I rush into his arms.
“Thank you so much for everything,” I tell him.
“You don’t have to thank me.” His heartbeat speeds up against my ear.
“Of course I do.” I look up at him, stand on my toes and kiss him. “I feel safe again.”
“That’s all I wanted.” He gives me a reassuring look before resting his hands on my shoulders. “We were able to take care of everything so you can get on with your life without the worry about anyone else linked to Hunter messing with you.”
My hands fly up to my cheeks. “Oh my God, really?”
“Yes.”
The nightmare is finally over.
I don’t have to see Bill or his goons again or worry about anyone else coming after me. The only bitterness left to cope with is Hunter’s duplicity and deception.
“I am indebted to you forever.”
He chuckles. “No, you aren’t.”
“Don’t I get a hug too?” Levi’s voice booms from across the room.
I lift my head and see him with a sexy smirk on his face.
