War was already up and moving. Even if that wasn’t what she wanted, he was going to Cali. The thought of her out alone and possibly with alcohol in her system didn’t sit right.
“Can you come get me? I could call a ride…”
“Nah, don’t do that. I’m on my way. You safe?”
“Yes.”
“Bet, go inside and wait for me in fact, tell whoever is at the door that someone’s coming for you and he told you to wait at the VIP valet. I’ll be there in like twenty minutes.”
“I’m fine where I am…”
“I’m sure you are but do that for me, love. You can give them my name and if anyone gives you a problem ask them to get Dominic on the phone. He’s the owner.”
“You know the owner?”
War frowned into the phone. Cali had no idea who he truly was but he never wanted her to know that part of his life. He was perfectly content with her only knowing the man he was today. “I know a lot of people. Now, can you do that for me?”
“Yes,” she rushed out on a sigh, allowing him to relax. She was stubborn as shit but he had plans to break her of that when it came to doing things he knew would be best. War wasn’t the type of man to control a woman but when it was time for him to lead, he needed his lady to follow. “You must not be home. It will take longer than twenty minutes to get here from your house.”
“I’m in the city.”
“Oh well if you were busy…”
“I said I wasn’t. Twenty minutes, aight. I’ll call you when I pull up.”
“Okay,” Cali whispered, making his dick grow hard.
This woman would be the weakness he fought so hard all his life not to be attached to. War never wanted anyone or anything that could bring him to his knees. Cali was already doing so. Their connection was too strong considering the limited time they’d spent around each other. That could only mean whatever was between them was meant to be. Merritt had only been doing fate’s work by placing Cali in his purview.
“Twenty minutes. Share your location so I can make sure you’re good until I get there.”
War waited until the notification came through, followed by her voice.
“Done.”
“Got it, love. I’m on my way.”
He dressed in all black, throwing on athletic wear and a pair of Ones before leaving his place. While speeding through the city, his mind drifted to how crazy things were becoming in his world. A woman he hadn’t expected to ever know now kept his thoughts tied up and dick hard.
She also had his mind shifting through plans for how to keep her safe and happy but in the back of his mind, he knew the good would be overshadowed by the bad. He needed to tell her things that might push her away and that had War’s thoughts shifting to something dark.
As promised, a little over twenty minutes later he was pulling into the parking lot of Black Diamonds’ side VIP entrance. He had already shot Cali a text that let her know he was there so she immediately stepped out the door as soon as he idled his ride.
She slid into the passenger seat, tugging at the black bodycon dress that rose up her thighs the minute she was situated next to him. He admired the sly, almost coy, smile that curved her lips when her alcohol-laced gaze landed on him.
“Thank you for coming.”
At that moment all logic and rationale where Cali was concerned no longer existed with War. He decided, right fucking there, she would be his at all costs. The jealousy he felt while taking in the way her black dress hugged every curve of her toned frame, showcasing a figure he had no doubt other men had enjoyed that night made the decision for him. Something possessive burned in his chest, sending his thoughts out of control.
“You need me, I’m there. That’s how this works, love.”
“That’s a big promise to make.”
War didn’t grace her with a response, he simply pulled away from the building and navigated through the parking lot. Cali remained quiet until they hit the street and took a left, moving toward the highway.
“Where are we going?”
“That’s up to you. I can take you home or you can come home with me.”
