We give each other all that we’ve got until we’re both completely empty and completely filled by the other. It?
?s a feeling I’ve never experienced before from a lover. It’s so powerful that I’m overwhelmed. The second he pulls back from our lustful embrace, I fall to the alley floor, exhausted.
Before I can hit the ground, though, Ronan catches me. I look up at the steaming beast in awe and he looks down at me with a glint in his eyes.
“You think I’m letting you go so easily?” he smirks.
I don’t go home that night.
Instead, when the police sirens invade our little slice of bliss, Ronan throws me over his shoulder and whisks me back in the direction of Chelly’s.
I laugh and struggle to wrangle my pants back on as my King Kong and I evade the authorities; it’s the most exciting night of my life, and it’s not even close.
Ronan doesn’t even ask me if I still want to go home—he already knows my answer. He just tosses me in the passenger seat of his black range rover and peels out of Chinatown in the early morning twilight with a big, cocky grin on his face. I’ve never felt more alive in my life. Sure, my body is sore and my nerves are a mess, but I’m wired and filled with an electricity that I’ve never felt before—it’s better than I could have ever imagined.
We don’t talk much as Ronan rushes me to some unknown location—we don’t need to say a word to know what we both feel. The connection between us is a live wire and we’re both pulling at either end, reveling in the electric shocks that we can shoot through each other’s souls.
I don’t recognize where we’re going, but I don’t care. I trust Ronan. Sure, bad things may happen when he’s around, but since there’s no one badder than him, nothing bad can ever happen to us.
I don’t know if that makes any sense, but it feels right, and I follow right along as he grabs my hand and leads me towards a set of elevator doors in an underground garage somewhere in the nice part of town.
I kick his passenger door shut behind me and it slams with a rattle. That seems to spark something in Ronan. He pulls me in a pirouette and spins back around to his car. I watch, completely taken with him, as he rummages around in his back seat.
“Gold or silver?’ he asks, with his back turned to me. He has his jacket back on, but I wish he didn’t. Just thinking about those ripped shoulder blades of his makes me drool.
“Silver,” I say, hardly thinking about the question. I’ve felt drunk ever since he pinned me against the alley wall earlier, and he’s acting like he feels the same way. We’re both a bit goofy right now, and I’m thankful for it. It’s such a far cry from the fear and the hopelessness. It’s exactly what I need.
Ronan turns around and I’m nearly blinded by the jewelry in his hand.
“What is that?” I giggle, completely taken by surprise. This man is so full of surprises...
“It’s for you, is what it is,” Ronan smirks.
I step forward and study the elegant silver bracelet in his hand. It almost looks like something a princess would wear—a thin tasteful band embedded with what looks like real diamonds.
I gasp. “Ronan, it’s beautiful.”
“And now it’s yours.” He takes my wrist and I pincer my hand. With all the care in the world, he slides into onto me—it fits like a charm.
“Is it a family heirloom or something?” I ask, transfixed by its glittering beauty.
Ronan shrugs. “I’ve never had a family.”
I tear my gaze away from the bracelet and dole out some sympathy. “Poor baby,” I offer, before standing on my tip toes and wrapping my newly adorned arms around his thick neck.
I give him a soft, tasteful kiss—because I’m a real lady now—and he holds me around the waist. His soft kiss is just as exhilarating as his hard one. I feel like I’ve fallen into a pit full of fluffy pillows.
“Where are we?” I ask, after we’ve gazed into each other’s eyes for what seems like a blissful eternity.
“Home.”

Ronan
I wake up feeling like all my problems have finally been solved.
It only takes a second for reality to come crashing back down over my pounding head. I check the bedside clock. It’s 10am. I have about twelve hours to find Santino and bring him to the meeting tonight, or else I’m a dead man.
