Niall turned his head, ignoring the three of them.
“Let’s go.” Brooke feathered her fingers through Tyler’s strong hands and then Lee’s. “I want to go home.”
They followed her outside, closing the door to the compound behind them.
Brooke felt her knees buckle, but Tyler held her steady. “I think you better ride home with me, sweetheart. Lee can drive your car.”
“Of course.” Lee looked for her keys.
There were so many things she wanted to say, but she used everything she had back there to get through the confrontation with Niall. And it had worked. She was free. They all were.
Lee buckled her in the front seat as Tyler stuck the key in the ignition. She looked at them. “That drive is blank.”
“What the fuck?” Tyler stammered.
“I had to think of something. It was all I could come up with,” she admitted.
Lee laughed so hard he almost hit the top of his head on the inside roof of the car. “You are the smartest woman I know, Brooke.”
She bit the inside of her cheek. “I can hack him now and get the insurance policy. If you want, I can do it. Should I? Is that the smart move now?”
Tyler shook his head. “I think he’s scared shitless. We’ll worry about that later if we have to. I have a feeling he isn’t going to bother any of us. You took care of that.”
Lee kissed her on the cheek. “You were incredible. I’ll see you at the house.”
“I’ve got a meeting.” She remembered the design team expected to see more details about Soar. “I can’t go back to the house. The foundation needs me today.”
Lee shook his head. “No. The three of us are taking the rest of the day off. I think we need you more.”
“And doing what?” she asked.
Tyler’s hand squeezed her thigh. “What we do best.” He winked.
Forty-Three
Tyler
When had he become this man? Tyler took one look at Brooke and he could see the future. He knew she belonged with them. Lee felt it too. It was undeniable that there was something different about her. No other woman made them feel the way she did. It was terrifying. It was thrilling. Damn it, he knew it was love.
He drove her home faster than he had ever pushed the pedal on the car before. She needed to know how much she meant to them. That they had a future together, no matter what.
He clutched her hand. “You were incredibly brave back there.”
She sighed. “I can’t believe it worked.”
He grinned. “I think everything you do turns to magic. Of course it worked.”
“I didn’t know what else to do. I couldn’t let Niall ruin our lives. Not yours. Not Lee’s. Not ours,” she whispered.
It was the way she said ours that jabbed at his lungs. He felt his ribs tighten. This woman had turned his world upside down. And she wasn’t finished. There was no denying he had finally fallen.
He pulled into the garage, parking the sports car in one of the twelve spots. Lee was behind them in Brooke’s car. He parked next to them. They turned the ignitions off.
A brief silence fell between them in the car.
“Brooke,” Tyler groaned.
She turned toward him as he tangled his hands in her hair, dragging her mouth to his. He had to taste her. Kiss her. Lick every inch of her.
