Then the wicked monster flashed her a dirty smile and said, “You know all my kinks. And I know yours. Unless you’ve grown some new ones, then I look forward to getting to know them.”
There was no heart quiver this time, because there was a hot ache between Lisa’s thighs, and she had to swallow really slowly to calm herself down before she climbed onto his lap in the open air, where anyone could see them being frisky.
She was so sexually attracted to the man at her side that she would combust the first time they were together again. He was a walking orgasm. The man must have been dipped thrice in lust when it was being handed out and then sneaked in a fourth time because he was greedy for more.
“I’d love to know what just went through your mind to make you inhale like that?” he husked, and Lisa flushed to the tips of her ears.
She swatted his arm. “Don’t be nosy. A lady has to have secrets.”
He laughed and tapped a kiss on the tip of her nose. “What’s next on this talk? I wanna kiss my woman, but I figured you had a mental list to work through first.”
“You would be right.”
“Look at me earning boyfriend points right out of the gate.” He smirked smugly.
Her heart twanged in anticipation.“Right. I guess I’ll say this next part.”
“Don’t look so worried,” he soothed her, stroking the back of her head. “There’s nothing you can say that would make me change my mind, yeah? Remember, it’s not a deal breaker for you to be a mad murderer.”
He was so freaking sweet.
If Lisa wasn’t careful, she was going to fall fast and deep in love with a biker with the charming smile.
You’re already there, a voice whispered, and she mentally swatted it away; there was no time to argue with her logical conscience right now.
“It’s the reason I ended things between us.” Lisa stalled as she watched Ryan’s eyes become serious and unwavering. “It wasn’t because I lost feelings for you, Ryan. But... there was a circumstance out of my control.” Then uttered the words. “I was threatened to break up with you and to leave town.”
It was logically impossible for Ryan to have caused a swift icy wind around them, but Lisa would swear his darkening eyes and tightened face were causing the sudden shift in the atmosphere. And when he spoke,oh yeah, she shivered from how rough he sounded. Like he was speaking around grit and spikes.
“What the fuck?Explain, Lisa.Right fucking now.”

Unknown
It was irritation that lingered in the back of his throat when he took a long toke on the fat Cuban cigar between his lips. The smoke was thick and rich, and it usually relaxed him, but it went nowhere in that direction today. It tied his guts into knots of annoyance.
His time was best served elsewhere, but here the fuck he was, busy with an irritant.Again.
That bitch was back.
He spotted her by chance and knew her face instantly.
It had taken very little surveillance on the bitch to see she was tangled up with Splice again.
He’d gotten rid of her once.Easily. Like a scared little girl, she’d run so fast.
He knew this because he paid to have surveillance on her for more than a year, waiting for the moment to strike if she contacted anyone from Utah, if she opened her big fat mouth about what she’d overheard that day. It was only when she married a wealthy broker that he finally thought this shit was put to bed.
His secrets would remain with the dead.
He lived his life, forgetting her and the destruction he’d orchestrated.
Kill or be killed, the motto his old man had taught him at six.
His old man had laughed on the day he threw his five-year-old brother into the lake, watching him cry and struggle to swim.
His brother, the runt of the family, weak and unwilling to fight, even to breathe.
