“Yes. But that also doesn’t mean you’ll know when they do. There have been times they’ve let people go and dealt with them through the courts. My cousin Salvatore is the sheriff of Lake Renegade. So we all walk that fine line.”
I nod and lay my head on his chest.
“I don’t know how I feel about the killing, but I do understand it. So I guess that’s something I’ll have to come to terms with as we go. I do know that it feels like they’re not just killing people for fun. And I can understand doing it to protect the ones we love.”
“That’s exactly how it is. Maybe in the old days, things were different. But now? Things are talked out and weighed before decisions are made.”
“I love your family.”
“Our family.”
Emerson
It’s a huge relief that Sawyer understands how the family works and why we do what we do. I hope she knows that no matter what her family tries to do, she has our entire family behind her. I hold her close to me, I want to erase all the bad things that have ever happened to her. But since I can’t, I plan on making new memories for her and for River.
Waking up with Sawyer in my arms is how I want to wake up every day for the rest of my life. I spend a few minutes just watching her sleep. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
“I love you,” I whisper to her.
Sawyer’s eyes fly open and she’s looking at me.
“You love me?”
I lean forward and kiss her.
“I love you,mo chuisle, my heartbeat.”
“I love you,” she says softly as she kisses me.
I run my hands down her body as I kiss her neck.
“I’ll wait if you want,” I whisper as I slide my hand down her body.
“I don’t want to wait.”
I kiss her and slide my hand into her shorts.
“Fuck, you’re so wet,” I growl as I make my way down her body.
I kiss her belly, I can’t wait until she’s carrying another baby. I look up and see her watching me. I pull her shorts off and bite her inner thigh as she gasps. I slowly lick her and slide a finger in her.
“Oh god, yes,” she moans.
Fuck, this woman is driving me crazy. I suck on her clit as I get my shorts off.
“Come for me, mo chuisle.”
I slide a finger in her again as I feel her pussy clamping down.
“Fuck.” She grabs a pillow and puts it over her face.
I chuckle as I kiss my way back up her body.
“Do you want me to use protection? I’ve never had unprotected sex.”
“Never?”
“Never.”
