She took several scattered breaths, darting her gaze in my direction. I knew this would destroy her even if the worthless piece of trash deserved it.
“Baby. Your boy needs you. I need you.”
Very slowly, she lowered her weapon and I was able to take it from her hand. After taking a deep breath, I glanced toward my brother. The shit-eating grin on his face reminded me of battles from the past.
“You fucking bastard!” Georgia’s battle cry was followed by a brutal kick to the man’s face followed by a single stomp. When she spun around, her face contorted, all I could do was smile.
The woman was a fierce warrior, which was something I’d need to keep in mind.
“Jesus Christ. What did we miss?”
Hearing Constantine’s voice made me snort.
“I guess better late than never. Remind me never to call you guys as cavalry,” I told him in return.
Both Gabriel and Constantine walked into the middle of the room followed by several of their soldiers.
“You guys know how to have a party,” Gabriel teased.
“And they didn’t invite us at the right time.” Constantine walked closer to Rico. “Well, what do you want us to do with him?”
“How about save him for later?” I suggested.
The two men looked at each other. “We can do that. Let’s get him out of here.” Constantine motioned to his men to grab Rico.
I waited as they dragged the man from the room, noticing my brother had been a damn good shot.
“You’re safe. You’re alive,” Alicia cried out finally, racing toward her husband.
“Never better, baby. You know I’m a crack shot.”
As they reunited, I turned my attention to the woman I loved. She’d never looked more beautiful than she did at this moment. Very slowly I walked in her direction, uncertain of her mindset.
When she wrapped her arms around me, pressing her face into my chest, I closed my eyes and did something that was rare for me to do.
I said a prayer of thanks.
“Where’s Maxie? Where’s my furry baby?”
“He’s hurt but safe inside my car. Don’t worry, baby. We’ll get him fixed up.”
“That fucking son of a bitch. You saved me just like you told me you would do,” she muttered then lifted her head.
I cupped her face, rubbing my thumb back and forth. The touch of her soft skin had never felt so special. “Baby, I would walk through the fires of hell and back to keep the woman I love alive.”
“Awww,” Miguel said from a few feet away.
As I lowered my head, I couldn’t help lifting my arm and giving him the bird. While both he and Alicia laughed, I captured her mouth, holding our lips in place. At this moment, I knew there was nothing sweeter than the taste of her, nothing more comforting and amazing than having her in my arms.
She was the love of my life.
And no one would ever come between us again.
I swept my tongue inside, savoring the moment as she slid her arms over my shoulders, tangling her fingers into my hair. The way she felt in my arms could only be described as perfect. When I finally broke the kiss, she brushed her fingers across my lips as if gathering the kiss. Her smile was exactly what I needed.
“Where’s Dillon?”
“Safe in the guest room with Brando. All because of you.” Her lilt was soft and far too inviting, but there was other business to attend to. “Is it over?”
