and I used her to try to convince them I wanted back in with them.”
“You shoulda told me,” I whispered.
“You should trust me,” he said in a deep rumble.
I glared.
“You need to trust me,” he told me. “Or we won’t work.”
My heart hurt.
He glared at me. “Can’t believe you would even think for a second that I’d do anything to risk what we’re building.”
I swallowed. “My heart hurts right now like it has never hurt. Because the notion of us not working had not once occurred to me until this second. And I don’t ever fucking want it to occur to me again.”
“Then get the fuck over here, put your arms around me, then tell me you love me and that you’re sorry.”
I blinked. “That I’m sorry?” I pointed at myself and my mouth dropped open.
“Yeah. For doubting me for a fuckin’ second.”
“Maybe I’ll do that if you tell me that you’re also sorry for---”
“I’m sorry for keepin’ that from you, baby.”
A sob burst out of me as I opened my arms and tried to get to him. He got to me first. He didn’t make me work for his apology even though I was trying to make him work for mine.
“I’m sorry,” I said as my body connected with his. “I love you.”
His arms went around me immediately and his lips were on mine.
“Here comes the best part,” he said.
“Hm?” I asked.
“The only good part of a fight. Make-up sex. We haven’t had that yet.”
I wept.
“Baby, shit, c’mon. Not a fuckin’ chance I’d fuck up what we have for anything, least of all a doped up washed-up club whore.”
He lifted me and put me into the bed then wrapped his arms around me and put his lips to my forehead.
We stayed still for a long time.
“I don’t ever want to lose you,” I told him.
“You won’t.”
“I’m sorry. It just hurt so much.”
“I’m sorry, too,” he whispered. “But you gotta remember what we got is not something I’d ever risk. If you remember that, we’re gonna be unshakeable, baby. If you let doubt creep in, it won’t be good. It can’t be good if there’s no trust. Remember that.”
“I will.”
“Good.”
“It’s our first fight as a married couple,” I whispered.
“Yup. Bound to happen eventually.”
“I want us to be on a forever honeymoon.”
“Life don’t work that way, polka dots.”
“I know,” I sighed. “So since this was our first big fight, hopefully last one for a good long time, make-up sex needs to be monumental,” I said into his neck as I nuzzled in.
“Yeah?” I had piqued his interest.
“Like… something we haven’t done yet,” I said. I made eye contact.
His grip on me tightened and his eyes went heated.
“Are you at all interested in back door sex?” I asked.
He looked at me like I was crazy. My heart skipped a beat.
“Am I a guy?”
I laughed.
“Wait a second. Before all that, c’mere.” He sat and pulled me onto his lap, so I was straddling him.
“I’d never cheat on you, Jojo. Never risk seein’ pain in your eyes because of something I’d done. Never wanna make you cry, princess. Ever. And---”
“Okay. I’m probably touchy about that subject.”
“I’m not him.”
Luke.
“I know. It’s not just about him. I’ve grown up around bikers and lots of them cheat.”
“I won’t. You need to trust me. Trust us, what we’ve got.”
“I will,” I vowed and nuzzled in.
We were quiet for a minute and then I asked, “What now? With those girls?”
“She’s either gonna run scared or try to make a play to save her ass. There’s also that bitch friend of hers who witnessed all of that. Don’t know how stupid that bitch is so don’t know what nonsense is comin’ from them. Brice knows a bunch of paramedics and we now know where Alec Wylde was picked up from to be taken into palliative care. There were a dozen men there and one of them matched my father’s description. We scoped the place out this afternoon, but they spotted us when I narrowly missed a bear trap and fell in the fuckin’ creek. We got the fuck outta there. They’re either gonna be moved to make their move now or they’re gonna hide somewhere else. My money is on the old clubhouse, which we’ll know about because of my trail cams. Hope you didn’t break my phone…”
“Oh. Eek.”
“Better go grab that.” He got up.
I sat up.
“We need lube,” he said. “Lots of it for your first time, especially. Can’t easily go out in groups to the fuckin’ drug store
