“I felt it too.” He brought a hand to my cheek. “I knew things would be explosive between us, and this just proves it. This is normal, baby. This is what it’s supposed to feel like between a couple.”
“I never knew that,” I whispered. “I’ve only been with one person, and it was never like that. I’ve never felt anythin’ like it before.”
“Me either,” he said. “Trust me when I say that I have never felt a pull like this to any woman. You’re my first, me only.”
The reassurance that gave me was mighty.
“D’ye want to come over tonight?”
Dante’s blue eyes burned with desire. “To have sex?”
“Maybe?” I swallowed. “I don’t know. I just want to be with you, and if somethin’ happens, then it’ll be because we want it to happen.”
“I’ll come over on one condition.”
“Name it.”
Dante grinned and said one word, “Lasagne.”
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Date
* * *
When I walked back into the hangar, after Ina made sure I washed my hands thoroughly, I shouldn’t have even bothered to try to act normal. The arseholes I worked with were all looking my way and grinning, even Damien, which told me they all had an idea of what just happened in the staff room. For a moment, I wondered if they had heard Ina. She had been loud, louder than I expected her to be, which was a fucking brilliant surprise. I didn’t know what I expected from her but moaning and screaming when I got her off wasn’t it.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands back on her and my cock in her so I could see just how loud I could make her scream.
“Whatever dopey thing ye wanna say,” I said to the group with a pointed look. “Save it.”
“Fuck no,” Harley said. “What got wet … cock, mouth, or fingers?”
I snorted. “Guess.”
“Fingers,” everyone except Ryder said.
He guessed my cock. I didn’t confirm or deny their guesses. I just looked at Harley and grinned.
“I told ye,” Harley said to Ryder, who scowled as he pulled a score from his pocket and handed it to my brother.
I blinked. “Really, Ry?”
“He bet that he’d babysit my twins if I got it right.” He shrugged. “I had to risk it.”
I laughed. “You’re that desperate for an uninterrupted night alone with your wife?”
“Always.”
I shook my head, amused. “Sorry ye lost.”
“I thought for sure you’d nail her. It’s obvious as the day is long that you’re into each other.”
I shrugged. “We’re just gettin’ a feel for each other.”
“I’m sure you got a real good feel in the staff room.”
My gaze shifted to Damien. “Don’t imagine it.”
“Hardly.” He rolled his eyes. “Alannah is the only woman on my mind.”
“Good,” I quipped. “Keep it that way.”
“Give over, the pair of ye.” JJ shook his head. “You’re worse than a couple of kids.”
I couldn’t argue with my brother. I knew the way Damien and I went at each other’s throats was childish, but I didn’t like the bloke, and that was the end of it. I knew his feelings mirrored mine.
“Is Ina okay?” Harley asked me. “She looked awful worried about somethin’.”
My conversation with her flooded my mind.
“She told me about her past, and she’s had it really rough. Long story short, her father is an abusive scumbag who put his hands on her whenever he drank which was all the time, and her prick of an ex treated her like she was his property. He sent her an email sayin’ he’d bring her home soon.”
Harley’s eyes widened. “He threatened her?”
“In black and white.” I nodded. “I’m alertin’ The Peak’s security to it. Just in case.”
“Why not call the guards?”
“The email had no information connectin’ it to her ex. She just knows it was him. Ye know the guards. He’d have to hurt her before they’d take it seriously.”
The men grumbled as they agreed as I spoke a dark thought out loud.
“I think I have to find this bloke.”
“And do what?”
“Pick a limb and break it,” I answered Ryder.
“Take it easy,” Harley said. “Think of this from all angles before ye do somethin’ that’ll land ye in the back of a squad car.”
“I am. I don’t fuck around when it comes to me missus. No one owns her. Not me, not her ex, she belongs to herself, and if I’ve to kick the bollocks out of him until he gets that, then that’s what I have to do.”
There was a moment of silence until Ryder said, “So, you’re both finally dating then?”
“Don’t tell me da, he’ll kill me.”
That earned me a few laughs.
I was glad the conversation died down, and everyone went back to work because when Ina entered the hangar, I didn’t have to worry about the lads watching me watch her. She was trying her best to be inconspicuous, but it wasn’t working. I came up behind her.
