“He sure does. So, what did you want to talk about?” Cassia says, her voice holding a little snap.
I decide to cut straight to the chase. “Elvira’s parents were killed in an accident yesterday. Around the time she was standing on my doorstep.”
“What?” Her eyes grow wide but then they narrow and she growls, “Did she have an accomplice who killed them and made it seem like an accident to have one hell of an alibi? Because with their deaths, everything will go to her. You mentioned she was an only child.”
A proud grin slides across my face. “The brains on you would have made you the perfect old lady to help solve cases if I was still a member of Atticus’ club. Here in this town there aren’t any complicated cases but I’ll gladly accept your help anyway.”
She huffs, throwing my compliment to the ground when she tiredly says, “Mind skipping over the chit-chat and tell me the details?”
I grind my teeth. Normally she would be feisty enough to throw a snarky comment my way but ever since her birthday she’s let everything between us fall flat.
Deciding she’s right, I start to rattle, “We share the same mindset. Atticus sent a few guys out to take over the investigation and they’re diving into Elvira’s life to see what she’s been up to all these years. They’ll get back to me when they have more information to share. I mentioned Kai going to school tomorrow but I have no clue if it’s a good idea or not.”
“Zoanne can volunteer in Kai’s class. I just found out a friend of mine is Kai’s teacher and they love the help with the reading theme they’ve got going in class. Kai and Zoanne chatted quite a bit this afternoon because he’s seen her at school a few times. She often volunteers to help out.”
“Great solution. It will keep his normal routine going,” I muse.
“Yeah,” Cassia slowly says and I get the feeling she wants to say something else.
“But,” I push, letting her know I want to hear what she’s thinking.
Cassia shrugs. “I don’t mind watching him. We could tell school he’s still recovering, it will give us another day. I don’t like the sound of her showing up, her parents dying the same day, and hearing Kai was born because she wanted the trust fund.” Her eyes narrow. “Like I mentioned earlier, does this mean she’s now getting the trust fund along with everything else her parents owned?”
“Atticus is looking into it. I expect to hear from him within the next couple of days. And I like your suggestion and don’t mind having you watch over Kai. Hell, I’d rather have him with you than at school, it will save me worrying about him. Even if you offered a great solution of having one of your club sisters in his classroom.”
“Okay, then I’ll keep him here.” She glances toward the clubhouse. “Did you want to go to the clubhouse and wait for Kai and Hudsyn?”
“I’d rather you show me your cabin.”
Her eyes spit fire and though I like seeing the defiance rise, I quickly hold my hands up in surrender. “I packed a bag for both Kai and me and thought I’d drop those off first.”
“Fine,” she snaps and spins around, showing me her curvy ass.
Those long reddish, blonde almost golden strands flow over her curves, allowing dreams to fill my head where I can wrap those strands a few times around my wrist while I sink my cock inside her from behind. Damn. That would be a pretty sight.
She stops and throws a hard glance over her shoulder. “Coming?” she snaps.
Yeah, over your back, in your hair, and sliding down the crack of your ass very fucking soon, my mind offers in return.
But for now, I nod, rush to grab my bags, and follow right behind her, wondering when the best time would be to make her mine. She might still fight me, but I can tell by the look in her eyes and the way her nipples poke through the fabric of her tank top how her body comes alive when I’m near.
No way is either of us going to ignore it; we’ve been dancing around each other for far too long.
CHAPTER FIVE
– CASSIA –
“You can put the bags in the two bedrooms on the right, pick one for Kai and the other is yours,” I offer. “Are you hungry? I made Kai a sandwich earlier, I can fix you one too if you like.”
I turn in the hallway and notice Calvin is about to step into my bedroom.
“Hey, that one’s mine,” I grumble and rush after him.
Shit. I might have wanted him there once upon a time but that was before the whole arrest attempt incident and me drawing a line. And this is him crossing said line.
“It’ll be mine as well,” he states and I can only gawk at the man.
With my next breath the bags he was holding hit the ground and one of his hands flashes out to slide his fingers in my hair, the other has a firm grip on my hip while his mouth slams over mine. He parts my lips with his tongue, diving in to dominate my mouth.
