“Then tomorrow we find a way to stop that from happening. Together.”

She nods.

And I’m done with talking. “Let’s go to bed.”

She nods again.

And we do, but we don’t sleep. We make slow love, taking our time and savouring every touch until she falls asleep, naked in my arms.

Lilly

Operation:takeSergeidownis set to commence any minute now. So, I ordered a platter of food, because Dante is right, I can’t cook for the life of me, and I needed to keep myself busy. It’s late afternoon and Ren and the boys left early, leaving me with Nico who has been up my ass all morning.

There are more men around the perimeter of the house, even down the street. He wasn’t joking last night. Things have kicked up a notch. I still feel a heavy sense of guilt bringing this onto the family, but Ren’s words last night keep replaying in my head, and when you’re faced with fate and the powers that be, there’s no denying it anymore.

I am his.

And he is mine.

No more doubts.

The doors fly open, and Ren walks in first, followed by the rest of the pack. He’s dressed in his usual Armani suit and looking sexy as hell.

“Well, hello, boys. Kidnap any innocent women today?” I say with a teasing grin on my face.

Ren chuckles, even Dave smirks.

But Tommy answers, “I wish. Ren won’t let me take the jet to find my Lilly.”

“So unfair.” I scrunch up my nose, disappointed for him.

“I’m doing the female population a favour.” Ren ignores Tommy and wraps his arms around my waist from behind, and pecks my cheek. “What’s all this?”

“I cooked!” I say.

Nico coughs

I narrow my eyes

He looks down and smirks.

“Nice.” Tommy jumps on the stool digging in with his hands.

“We’ll be right back,” Ren says before he tugs on my hand, pulling me out of the room.

I follow him, wondering what’s wrong. We stop abruptly, and he turns to face me, taking my face in his hands and planting a hot, searing kiss on my mouth that has me clutching onto him and trying to keep up. My hands slide up his chest, feeling his hard muscles beneath, and he grins against my mouth, kissing me deeper. His tongue teases mine, and I’m lost in the moment like always when he touches me.

“Thank you for lunch,” he says, lips still brushing mine.

“Anytime.” My stomach flutters, and oh my can I get used to this life.

But he pulls away and his smile fades, and serious Ren is staring back at me.

“I spoke with Dante about yesterday,” he says, and I frown unsure as to where this is going.

“Okay?”
