Holding up my hands at him, I frowned. “Wait, wait, wait. Go back a second. The Trinity thinks you’re dead? How?”
He pulled a face and scrubbed at the back of his neck. “Loco, the head of the Trinity, owes me.”
“Owes you?” My brain couldn’t process the declaration. How could the leader of one of the state’s most notorious gangs owe Lucas? What could he have possibly done to make that be the case? “Did you throw a fight for him?”
Indignation and disgust etched Lucas’s face for a moment. If I hadn’t been so stunned by how surreal my life had become in the last few hours, I would have laughed.
“I did not throw a fight,” he said. “Are you kidding? Throw a fight?”
“Then what did you do?” I don’t know why, but I felt like his answer for the question was more important than any other he’d given so far.
“I saved his little sister from being raped by his stepfather.”
A soft breath slipped past my lips. My stomach rolled.
“And delivered her to their mother, who now lives in Melbourne.”
“In Florida?”
He gave me a lopsided smile. It infuriated me and made me ridiculously horny at once. “In Australia.”
My mouth fell open. I shook my head, hugging myself again. My head was spinning. “I truly have no idea who you are, Lucas Pratt.”
An unreadable tension fell over his face. He straightened from the sofa until he stood directly before me, our thighs brushing, his gaze holding mine. “I am the guy who’s loved you for longer than you will ever know. The guy who will fight the world to make sure nothing ever hurts you. The guy who will give up everything he’s ever known to see you happy.”
My heart swelled in my chest. I swallowed, my throat tight. “Does that include fighting? Will you give up the whole MMA fighting circuit?”
“Hell yeah,” he said. “I’ll even settle down here for the rest of forever, if you’ll settle down with me. Will you? Live with me? Here? For the rest of our lives together?”
“Hell yeah…” I whispered with a smile. And then I gave up any hope of other words, tangled my fingers in his hair and kissed him.
He was all those things. But more importantly, he was mine.
The boy next door. My savior. My fighter.
My lover.
Mine.
The world, my world, had just got a whole freaking lot better.
Bring it on.
