It troubles me that Liam hasn’t struck yet. I thought he’d have attacked last night, but this proves he doesn’t have the numbers on his side. These men don’t want a part in a personal war. They don’t care that our families have been feuding for years.
They just want to do their job, get paid, and not get caught.
I have a feeling Sean won’t settle for just part governance. He’ll want it all. But we will tackle this one step at a time.
Babydoll lowers her gaze, chewing on her bottom lip.
“Hey.” I lift her chin with my finger. “This is the worst-case scenario. We don’t know that he’ll be there.”
“We both know that he will be,” she says, reading between the lines. “This is you challenging him again. But this time, he’ll show.”
“If that happens, then we’ll be ready for him.”
Every step we’ve taken has led to this. No more guessing who’s on our side because tomorrow, everyone’s true colors will show. It was an impossible task to determine who would be loyal because loyalties shift with power.
But this will force them to choose.
“What if it’s not only Sean you’re fighting?”
I stroke the apple of her cheek with my thumb. “I expect Liam will be there too. Three men fightin’ for power. Only one man can win.”
What I’m proposing will be an all-out brawl. There will be many casualties, but this is needed to start over. We can’t live in the past, only the future. The men who survive will be loyal because there will only be one leader standing come tomorrow nightfall.
“Don’tcha be worryin’ ’bout me. I’ll be all right,” I assure her, but she’s not convinced.
“I’m coming,” she says with conviction, just how I knew she would.
“We can talk about it later,” I reply, pressing my mouth over hers to stop the argument we’re bound to have over this.
She melts into me, whimpering as I kiss her softly. I love how receptive she is to my touch. Most recoil when I’m near, but not Cami. She always wants more.
Standing on her toes, she wraps her arms around my neck, deepening the angle. Even though the world is falling to bits around us, at least we’ve got this. I don’t know how I lived without her for so long. But I suppose I was half living.
“I love you,” she says against my lips, running her tongue across the piercing in my bottom lip.
I’ll never tire of her saying it. “Say it again.”
“I love you. I love you. I love you.”
With a growl, I steal her breath and kiss the ever-living fuck out of her. I am insatiable when it comes to her. But as much as I’d like nothing more than to lose myself in her for hours, I can’t. For that to be our future, though, I need to get ready.
“Not yet,” she whispers, sensing my retreat.
I can’t say no to her.
Lifting her up, she wraps her legs around me, kissing me frantically. I slam her back to the wall, pinning her with my body as I devour her whole. She tugs at my hair, moaning when we break apart, only for me to kiss down her neck.
Sliding my hand up her thigh, I touch over her underwear, hissing when I feel she’s already wet. I can’t leave her wanting, so I sink two fingers inside her. Her body shudders, a tiny whimper escaping her as she rocks her hips.
I’m not gentle, but she doesn’t want me to be as she places her hand over mine, encouraging me to go faster, harder. I give her what she wants, stretching her wide and savoring the feel of her coming apart in my hand.
She pumps against me, eyes locked because the connection isn’t just physical; it’s emotional as well.
A single look can express so much, and the desperation in Babydoll’s gaze reveals she’s frightened. We’re diving into the unknown with a lot of what-ifs. The odds aren’t in our favor. But they never have been.
“Promise you won’t leave me?”
“I’ll try my best,” I reply, not wanting to lie to her because if I have the choice to save Ethan, Eva, and her, I’ll take it.
