“The car is out front,” Conor says with a wink before he pulls me from Mikey’s arms and wraps me in a hug.
“Then let’s go home,” I say, pressing my face against his jacket and inhaling his familiar intoxicating scent.
ChapterFour
CONOR
Jessie leans her head against my shoulder and I pull her close as we all walk to the waiting limo. I kiss the top of her head and the sweet smell of her makes my dick twitch to life. I should be fucking her in that private room in our club right now, but after our run in with the Boyles, and not knowing whether Shane would snap out of his bad mood, it seemed a better idea to head home.
She snakes an arm beneath my suit jacket, running her hand up my spine and my cock gets harder.
Yeah, I’m gonna fuck her in the limo.
Mikey opens the door for us as we reach it and she climbs in first. Shane hangs back a little, something still on his mind.
“You okay?” I ask him.
He runs a hand over his jaw. “Hmm.”
“You don’t sound all that convinced.”
“You think she was right? Do we need to take a step back from all this?”
“Um, yeah,” I laugh. “Not right now, but one day. That was always the plan anyway, right?”
“I guess somewhere along the way I forgot that. What if I don’t know anything else though?”
I wrap my arm around his neck and kiss the top of his head. It’s strange to be the one counseling him because it’s usually the other way around, but he has changed so much since Jessie came into our lives, and even more so since we had kids. He doesn’t close himself off from everyone and try to handle everything on his own any longer. And while we’ve always had an unbreakable bond, it has strengthened beyond measure these past few years. But him relinquishing any kind of control is still a struggle for him and I get that completely.
“What? You’re Shane fucking Ryan. I have never ever seen you unable to do anything in my whole goddamn life.”
He laughs at that.
“But you know we will keep doing this as long as we have to, right? If we can’t all walk away clean then we never walk away,” I assure him.
“Never?” he frowns at me.
“We’re all in it together, bro. It’s the way it’s always been and that will never change. Just because Jessie worries about our kids doesn’t mean she wants out. You gotta know that.”
“I do,” he says just as Mikey pops his head out of the door.
“Come on,” he urges us to get into the car.
As soon as we’re seated, I press the button to speak to our driver, Caleb. “Hey, buddy. Take the long route home, okay. And when we get home, park up in the basement and feel free to see yourself out. We’ll take care of ourselves.”
“Yes, boss,” Caleb replies and then I release the button so that we have complete privacy again.
“The long way home?” Jessie asks with a pop of one eyebrow as she sits on Liam’s lap.
“Yeah,” I smile at her as I adjust my cock in my pants and check my watch. It’s a little before eleven. “Because I am fucking you at least once before next year, angel.”
Her cheeks turn a deep pink that makes me want to throw her on the floor and fuck her like an animal.
“Me too, baby,” Liam adds as he presses a soft kiss on her neck.
“Um, I am not being the only man in this car not to fuck my wife tonight,” Mikey laughs.
“Well, Caleb ain't fucking her,” I scowl at him and he laughs harder.
