“What?”
He nodded. “Soar should be yours. It’s our baby together. Drew and I can’t trust it with anyone else.”
“Hunt, I don’t know what to say.”
“Say yes, sweetheart. Say you’ll stay. Say you are ours.”
She nodded. A tear slid down her cheek. “Yes.” She kissed him. “Yes. Yes. Yes.”
Twenty-Nine
Drew
There hadn’t been anytime during the Vegas trip to talk about Hunter’s deal with Leo Rossi. But they were on the plane headed back to Chicago. Alison was asleep on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her. She looked like a beautiful angel. The sunlight fell across her cheek.
He poked Hunter. “Hey, I think we need to talk about Leo.”
He motioned to the back of the jet. There was a private suite they never used. They crammed work into every waking hour. There was no time for sleep on flights.
“Come on.”
Hunter followed him back. They closed the door.
“What’s going on?” Hunt asked.
“What are you going to do about Rossi?”
“What do you mean? You know where things are with Alison.”
Drew huffed. “He needs to know he can’t have Alison back. He can never have her back. I don’t give a shit about how you collect your gambling debts owed to you, but we need to take her out of the equation the minute we land in Chicago.”
“I couldn’t agree with you more.”
“Wait, what?” He was stunned. He looked at his friend. “You aren’t going to argue with me?”
“No way. I’m fucking insane about her. I know you are too. He isn’t getting anywhere near her again.”
Drew sat on the bed. “Wow. So, it’s actually happened?”
“What?”
“You’re in love, man.”
Hunter rolled his eyes. “Let’s not make a big fucking deal out of it, ok? Yes, I love her. How could I not? You do.”
Drew laughed. “Yeah, but I’m not the one who keeps my emotions locked in a prison. Mine are a lot more obvious.”
“I’ve been trying to think of a way to talk to Rossi without tipping my hand. I don’t want her near that family of hers. She doesn’t want to go back. As far as I’m concerned she never has to.”
“Agreed.” Drew rubbed the back of his head. “We should ask her how she wants us to handle it. She’s been through a lot.”
“I want to protect her from all of it.”
“Me too, man. Me too.”
They looked up when they heard a knock on the door. Alison stood in front of them.
“You’re awake.” Drew smiled.
