By the time we got back in the SUV, I looked at Wyatt and named the elephant in the room.
“How is this going to get what is essentially the mob off my back?”
Wyatt chuckled. “Why don’t you let me handle that, little flame? Evan was right, we need your father alive to get rid of the shit piling up against you, but the rest? Hm, I’ve got that covered.”
I watched him as he put the vehicle in reverse and sang along to the radio. For the first time in my life, I decided I was going to do exactly that.
Trust someone else to handle it.

I huffedout a breath as Oliver and I sat down another load of damn boxes in the middle of the living room. An overwhelming box fortress had begun being constructed in the middle of what used to feel like a large room.
“She can’t have that many more, right?” he muttered to me, taking his hat off and wiping his damp forehead on his sleeve.
I shrugged, but before I could answer him, Ember came prancing in, her hair up in a high ponytail and her leggings sculpted around her ass just the way I liked. She was wearing one of my old t-shirts that she’d cut so it fell off one of her shoulders. She looked like she could go grocery shopping or start sprinting through the woods, ready to be fucked.
“I heard that, Oliver,” she said with a pointed look.
He pulled his hat back on his head and walked out withhis hands in the air in defense. “I’m grabbing some more boxes! You didn’t hear shit.”
The sounds of Rowan and Theo poking jabs at him for muttering such words in front of the new queen fluttered through the house, but we couldn’t hear Oliver’s response.
Walking over to said queen, I wrapped my arms around her, my fingers digging into her ass cheeks as I lifted her up and onto the countertop, my mouth nipping along her exposed collarbone. “I think we need to make the placeours, if you know what I mean, little flame.”
“Mmm, is that some kinda sex innuendo? Because we’ve definitely fucked on almost every surface of this house,” she replied with a smile.
“True, but this will be the first time we fuck on everything as an officially moved-in-together couple.”
She giggled for a moment before it turned into a moan as my teeth found her nipple through her shirt. “We’ve been living together since basically the moment we met without the masks on.”
I rolled my eyes. “But now our underwear is intermingled in a drawer, and you can’t escape me, ever.”
She shook her head and kissed me, deeply and without regard for anything going on around us. Fuck I loved when she was like this—so fucking perfect.
My little flame, forever.
When she finally pulled away, she was breathless with eyes full of unconditional love.
“I think I may be able to carve out some time for you in my busy schedule, but later. When everyone leaves. Your mother is literally on the front lawn directing your brothers and your sister should be back with the girls any minute.” She was saying all the words she wanted to hear, but herbody was speaking another language as her legs wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to her.
I glanced down and smirked. “Is that really how you feel?” I questioned, as my palms slipped beneath her shirt and ran up her back, my fingers slipping beneath her sports bra.
Her teeth sank into her bottom lip as one hand grazed around her front, immediately finding her pretty pierced pink nipple and pinching.
“Tell me again how I should wait till everyone goes home,” I whispered as her eyelids dropped and her lips parted. “I bet I could pull your leggings down right here on this kitchen island and eat you out in the middle of the floor and you’d let it happen.”
Her eyes widened, and she stared at me. I knew that look very well. It was the look I got when I said something that was true, and she couldn’t believe those words came out of my mouth. Fuck I loved that look.
I smirked and slid her off the countertop, spinning us around so my back was against the granite surface.
“What are you going, Wyatt? They’re literally on their way back in with another load of boxes!” she whisper-yelled at me.
