Fury stopped when he reached us. Glancing between Lily and me, he said, “Hate to interrupt, but I need a word with King.”
Lily smiled and nodded at him. “Sure.” Then she turned and gave me her wide eyes that meant I should pay attention to what she’d just said about not going hard on him. I had no fucking intention of doing that so I ignored those eyes.
Fury watched her leave and then said, “I’ve taken care of what you wanted. There was some collateral damage, though.”
“How bad?”
“Nothing I couldn’t handle. It’s all been cleaned up.”
“Good.”
“You got anything else for me today?”
“No, but it’s come to my attention that my eighteen-year-old daughter has eyes for you.” My voice dropped to a hard command. “Under no fucking circumstances are you to look at her, speak to her, or fucking touch her. If I find out you’ve done any one of those things, I will make it so you wished you fucking hadn’t.” I paused for a beat. “We clear?”
His brows lifted. “I’m not into eighteen-year-olds, King, and I’m sure as fuck not into anyone related to you, so yeah, we’re clear.”
“Good. Keep it that fucking way and we won’t have a problem.”
“If you don’t have anything more for me, I’m gonna go off-grid for the day.”
“Do that. We’ve got a fuckload of shit on when we hit Melbourne, so make sure you’re ready for that.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
He passed Zara on the way out and didn’t so much as look at her.
I found my wife again. “I’ve sorted the problem.”
“King, I hate to break it to you, but the problem is Zara. Not your guys. And that’s the kind of problem I have no clue how to sort.”
Zara had given Lily hell for years when it came to boys. And since Zara had turned her attention to Storm members, it had become my hell, too.
“Well, as far as I’m concerned I’ve handled it. Now, are we gonna do the cake, because the sooner we get this party done, the sooner I can clear people out, and the sooner I can get inside you.”
“They only just arrived like an hour ago. You can’t start kicking them out soon.”
I lifted a brow. “You wanna fucking watch me?”
She shook her head at me, but her eyes had that heat in them again. Moving into my embrace, she said, “I’m so glad I decided to grow old with you and your filthy ways.”
My hands landed on her ass. “You had no fucking choice in the matter. I decided for you.”
She smiled up at me. “Yeah, baby, you did, because you’re bossy like that.” She kissed me long and hard before adding, “Right, I’ll go get the cake. You round everyone up. And then we start working on getting them to leave.”
My gut tightened as I watched her walk across the lawn, up the stairs, and into the house. I hadn’t ever imagined finding a woman like Lily. She was my opposite in almost all ways, and yet we worked. Fuck how we worked. And now I couldn’t imagine a life without her.
I’d laid myself bare for her.
I’d bled for her and wouldn’t fucking hesitate to do it again.
I fucking breathed for her.
And while my family and my club were everything to me, I existed for Lily.
