I grunted. “Could say the same for you, brother.”
He scoffed.
I cupped his nape, pulling him against me. “It’ll happen.”
“Don’t worry about me, Cyrus.” He returned the embrace, giving me a quick hug before pulling away. He stuck his smoke between his lips and headed toward the house.
“Greyson will kick your ass if you smoke inside,” I reminded him.
“Probably,” he yelled back but headed into the house anyway.
“Is everything okay?” Ainsley asked softly, pulling me back to her.
“Yeah, pet.” I cupped her face, kissing her hard. “You’re safe. You’re wearing my collar. You promised to spend the rest of your life with me. And I’m about to put you in my bed. So yeah, things are definitely okay.”

“You sure no more shitwill be brought to my doorstep?” Greyson was pacing back and forth in the room where most meetings were held. Anything having to do with MC business had been few and far between over the past few weeks while Jaron and Piper were getting ready for their new little one. I could have held the meetings myself, but we all needed a break, so Jaron never instructed me to do so.
“Yes.” I kept Ainsley’s hand firmly in mine. “That bastard is dead, and the authorities are keeping an eye out on if they hear anything new or are given any additional information.”
Greyson grunted. “You know they can’t be trusted.”
I glanced at Ainsley before looking back at the man who had raised both my brother and I. “Detective Baldwin and Officer Jaxon aren’t under Price’s thumb.” We hadn’t heard from the man who had tried to destroy Jaron and Piper’s life so many months ago. I wasn’t sure if that was for the better or for worse.
“And you know this how?” Greyson asked, stopping in his tracks.
“I just do and if anything happens, I’ll take the blame but right now, I just need to get Ainsley settled. She needs her rest.” And I needed to make love to her before she vibrated out of her skin.
“Fine.” Greyson looked between us both. “Ainsley, you’re welcome to stay here for as long as you need but if I know Cyrus, he’ll be finding you a house soon enough that you both can move into.”
I leaned over and kissed her temple. “He knows me well.”
“Thank you,” she whispered, her eyes shining.
“Of course. I’ll keep the guys in the loop and contact a few people I know. We will find Price again before he tries to destroy any more lives,” Greyson said, his voice rough.
Leading Ainsley out of the meeting room, I turned to Greyson. “Thank you,” I told him. “I don’t say it enough, but I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me and Sam.”
“You don’t have to thank me.” Greyson cupped my shoulders. “And it wasn’t just me. It was Eve. It was Tray and Catch. It was their wives. It was all of us. Eve and I couldn’t have any more children after Jaron but having you two in our lives, made up for that additional loss. My wife wanted more kids and was hurting because of it. So I should be thankingyoufor putting a smile on my wife’s face again.” He pulled me into his arms, holding me a little longer than usual. Greyson wasn’t a hugger, so I would savor this moment.
“Thank you,” I repeated, returning the hug.
“Go take care of your girl.” He released me and made his way to the side of the house he shared with his wife.
“Cyrus.” Ainsley’s soft voice pulled me right into her arms. “I need you,” she whispered into the crook of my neck.
Grabbing her hand, I quickly led her down into the basement. I would show her the house later but right now, I really needed to give her a tour of every inch of my cock.
Once we were in my bedroom that was now hers as well, I kicked the door closed and had her in my arms.
“Make love to me,” she whispered, kissing my jaw. She fisted my hoodie, pulling me closer.
“I’m scared I’ll hurt you.” I cupped her ass, pushing her back until she hit the edge of the bed.
“You won’t.” She laid on the bed and began stripping. When she was fully naked, my eyes dropped to the bandage at her side. “Please, Cyrus. I need you.”
Stripping out of my own clothes, I crawled onto the bed between her legs. “We should go slowly.”
