She nodded, her breath catching. She sat up, turned toward me, and lifted her hands.I love you too, Cyrus.

I turned off the TV and pulled her back into my arms. Standing with her wrapped around me, I headed to the wall where the light switch sat and flicked it off. I made my way down the hall with her in my arms where she was safe. I sat her on her bed and helped her undress, no words passed between us.

“Make love to me,” she murmured, a yawn trembling through her.

I smirked, placing a soft peck on her nose. “You need rest.”

She pouted but never argued and slid beneath the covers.

I joined her and pulled her into my arms. She fell asleep rather quickly, her breathing becoming even. I never realized how much I could love another person until meeting Ainsley. I loved the club, my family, my job, but with her, it was a different kind of love. It went deeper than that.

My phone buzzed, bouncing on the nightstand. I took a breath and braced myself, knowing it was probably Sammy.

Sammy: You coming home tonight?

Me: No.

Sammy: Do you love her?

My heart stuttered. He had never questioned my feelings for a woman before. Never asked what my intentions were or how I felt about them. So why now?

Me: Why?

When no response came, I kissed Ainsley’s cheek and left her warmth. Quickly slipping into my jeans, I left her bedroom and quietly shut the door behind me.

Heading back to the living room, I called my brother.

“Yeah,” he grunted.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing.”

“Sam, you’ve been off ever since I met Ainsley. What’s your—”

“We are not doing this over the fucking phone, Cyrus.”

My back stiffened. “You are the one who texted me shit, so yeah, we are doing this over the fucking phone.”

The click sounded in my ear faster than I expected.

“Asshole,” I mumbled, looking back down the hall to where Ainsley was currently sleeping. I toyed with the idea of leaving and going to confront my brother, but I knew that when he got like this, our fists would fly first before I got any words out of him.

Instead, I would spend the rest of the weekend with Ainsley, like I promised her, and then I would call my brother out on his shit later. Whether he liked it or not, this would end. Either he supported us or I had no idea what I would do.

Ainsley

Ever since Cyrus andI spent the weekend together, I couldn’t help but think of him. Our feelings for each other were revealed and I was shocked but proud of myself at how he got me to open up so damn quickly.

It was a few weeks later and I hadn’t seen him a whole lot since, but we texted every day and every chance we could. I found out that he was helping his aunt at her auto shop while she had been on vacation, but now that she was home the shop had been busy. I didn’t know he was handy with cars. He was a man of many talents it seemed.

One afternoon, I had a huge grin on my face after reading a text from Cyrus stating how much he missed me and that he was going to pick me up after work. I sighed and told him I couldn’t wait to see him.

The weekend we spent together had been nothing short of amazing. He never pushed for sex. I initiated it before he left Sunday night and while he had been gentle, I had a feeling that there was something in him that was downright filthy. I would find it. The part of him he was holding back. He told me there was a sex kitten in me. Well I knew there was something deeper in him than just him being dominant in bed. I wanted to find that part of him and curl up in his passionate embrace.

“Ainsley.”

I jumped, finding Piper standing a few feet away.
