We were driving by the time I asked, and the question caused the dark prince to cock his head at me.
“You’re relentless as fuck, you know that?” he stated, his fingers tapping on my knee. His meaty hand had found a permanent place on my thigh, and I let him since I fucking liked it. Long fingers massaged through my jeans. “Wolf and I were just talking.”
“Talking about what?” I cocked my head, and he smiled.
“Wolf wants to bring you into our crew.” He adjusted in his seat, his eyes on the road. He glanced my way. “Be one of us, I guess.”
One of us.
I folded my arms. “You mean your little Court?” I laughed. “You guys must be on crack.”
I wasn’t interested in being in anything that had to do with that, whether they did hazes still or not.
Dorian grinned. “The Court isn’t a bad thing. Hasn’t been for a long time.”
“How do you explain what happened to Bru?”
“A mistake.” His expression was serious, his nod firm. “And something Wolf has owned up to. He knows he messed up.” He shrugged. “He thought he was looking out for me. The way he went about it was fucked, but he did. He was being a brother and supporting me, but stuff like that doesn’t usually happen. Not anymore.”
I recalled my own conversations with Ares. He had believed I was a threat.
He’d even said he was jealous.
We really had come a long way, our ease together in the hallway definitely saying that and not to mention all the stuff he’d done before for my brother.
“The Court is about brother and sisterhood.” Dorian raised a hand. “We’re a community.”
“A community?”
“Yeah.” He draped his arm around me, that chunky gorilla ring with the ruby eyes below his knuckle. “It’s about unity, and it’s not bad. Members look out for each other and do a lot of good for the city. We volunteer and stuff.”
“You volunteer?”
His grin was wiry. “Some of us more than others.”
I played with his fingers over my shoulder. “You want me to be a part of that?” I swung my gaze over. “Your community.”
He almost made it sound like another family.
Dorian’s stare felt weighted in my direction in that moment. He sat up, and when he did, he outlined his lips.
“I want you with me,” he said, glancing over. “I want you with us, yes.”
At this point, all I could tell him was that I’d think about it. I still didn’t know how I felt. All his talk about community came across really strong.
Especially with that last bit.
I knew he wanted to be with me, but whenever he kept saying things like that, it scared me. Hard not to with our history.
Maybe he picked up on that because he mentioned nothing more about the topic as we drove. I asked him where we were going a few times, but he kept the information tight-lipped.
I got an indicator when we pulled up to his gated community.
I sat up. “We’re going to your house?” I asked him this as we passed through the gate. At this point, the area looked way different. For starters, there were no creepy reporters, and Bow mentioned they were starting to lay off. I faced him. “Am I meeting your family?”
My swallow was hard, but his chuckle was jovial.
“Well, it’s a good fucking thing you’re not with the way you’re looking at me,” he stated, taking my head and mashing ticklish kisses and bites into my neck. I swear he was such a dude the way he manhandled me. He bumped a laugh. “And no. We’re just hanging out. My parents are still out of town.”
