“Of course,” she said easily. Then she cupped his face and Splice’s insides boiled alive, groaning low in his throat as she came nearer. “My sweet boy, we’ll deal with your lying to me when this is over. But right now, I want you to know one thing. Two things, actually. I will be by your side until the end of time; that’s a guarantee; nothing can part us, because I believe in my man’s strength.”
She’d inflated him with enough confidence in that one statement to not only power the entire city but to go into a battle he never envisioned he would ever have to face in his life.
“The other thing is. I love you, Ryan. Very, very, very much. So get this done soon so we can get on with our lives. We have so much to do together.”
She meant sex.
“I don’t mean sex.” She read his mind, and he groaned.
“Say it again.” He rasped.
“I don’t mean...”
“The other thing.”
She grinned, knowing what he wanted. “I will when you come home.”
Come home. Lisa was his home. He’d be wherever she was.
“Cruel woman.” He adored her. Every single beautiful inch.
She got off his lap and fixed her coat, making sure her hair wasn’t messy from his hands.
“Okay. I guess we have to put on a show out there, don’t we?”
She got him. She understood, and he loved her for that. Splice grimaced, hating that anyone in the clubhouse who wasn’t part of the brotherhood would think he was really dumping her.
“Ugh, those women are going to think you’re fair game.” She huffed. Then added, collecting her emotions like a titan. “Fine. I understand, but I won’t like it. Don’t come to my house smelling like another woman.”
His lips twitched, wanting to maul her like an animal attack, putting his mark all over her pearly white skin, leaving streams of his come on her body. “I only want your perfume on me, sweetheart.”
“Yes, mine.” She pointed a delicate long finger at him, eyes slit narrow, so fucking sexy, he felt the dominating look in his starved body.
Before he opened the bedroom door and his amnesia act started again, he roped Lisa in and took hold of her hand, bringing it up, and he pressed a soft kiss to her inner wrist with all the worshipping love he had crammed into his heart for her.
“I love you, remember that, yeah? So fucking much. You can kick my ass all over the house when this is over. You can punish me for months. I’ll pay any price, sweetheart. Whatever I say or do out there, it’s notyour Ryansaying it.” Another kiss on her wrist, and he let her hand go. “No matter what I say in a minute, you know the truth: you own my heart, my loyalty, my dick.”
He had no clue what was coming, but Lisa totally blew him away when she burst through the door, almost knocking the house mouse flying.
“You can go to hell, Ryan Gold, and take a boatload of your whores with you. It was a big mistake coming here, a mistake I won’t make a second time.” Then she flounced off down the hallway, swishing her hips in such a way that his eyes were transfixed.
Even in the depths of a crisis, Splice would take the time to admire his woman’s incredible form. He was angry, not dead. Who was the one acting here?
His heart was going wild with how hard he loved her, and Splice had to fight not to smile as he walked after her, a pace behind.
Her little show wasn’t over; she stopped in the middle of the room next to Nina and glared at the table where his uncle was sitting with Mouse, but it wasn’t Vince she was staring at. It was three of the sweet bottoms.
“You’re welcome to my sloppy seconds,” she told them, a sexy little bite to her tone that nearly made Splice groan out loud. Holy fuck, he wanted to roleplay this exact scene. Lisa was a damn wet dream come to life.
His ideal partner.
His equal and a woman he intended to keep on a pedestal for the rest of forever.
“After I just heard what he’s been up to for the past few days, I feel sick and wouldn’t have him gift-wrapped in diamonds.”
Splice was lucky to know that she loved him; otherwise, he would have believed every word she said.
“Babe, time to go,” he announced nonchalantly. That was when she swung around to glare at him. His heart fell right into her hands.
