“I don’t want to do this without you.”
I knowthismeans living because I feel the same way.
“I’ll always be with ya. Death isn’t the end. Our bodies may perish, but the memories will last forever. No matter what happens, remember that. Remember that you gave me a reason worth living for.”
She nods, holding back her tears because that’s the best I can offer her right now.
“I love you, Camilla. I always have. And I always will.”
Using her name, which is a rarity, has the desired effect because she comes with a sated groan when I circle her swollen clit. I slam my mouth over hers, wishing to share in her orgasm because it’s the purest of things.
Watching her be vulnerable and free is a turn-on within itself. We are finally whole. Together. And I’ll do everything in my power to ensure we stay that way.
Once the last tremor rocks her body, I remove my fingers from her, only to slip them into my mouth. Her eyes widen, and her cheeks redden further. But she’s too delicious to waste.
She lowers her feet to the ground, bashfully brushing her wild hair from her face. I love that after everything we’ve done, she’s still so timid.
“Are you hungry? I can make some breakfast. Hannah needs to eat as well.”
Nodding, I kiss her forehead. “Thank you. I’ll be there in a minute. I need to make some calls.”
She smiles, but it’s strained.
Once she’s gone, I reach for my phone and dial Cian.
“I know yer angry with me for what I did to Rory, but I need yer help.”
He sighs, hinting he’s listening.
I tell him my plan and that although it’ll probably end in a lot of bloodshed, it’s the only way we can end this once and for all. Hearing it aloud confirms this is possibly the worst idea I’ve ever had. This is an open invitation to all my enemies.
But I’m ready.
“Well, what d’you think?”
“I think yer goin’ to need a fucking arsenal to pull this off. And double the number of men to help.”
“Aye, yer right. I was thinkin’ of payin’ a visit to Ron. Surely he knows where I can get what I need.”
Cian is quiet, clearly processing what I’m proposing.
“Ya do realize Liam and Sean won’t pass this opportunity by. It’s open season on ye if ya do this.”
“I know that, but I’m done waitin’. I’m hopin’ Sean’s arrogance will have him slippin’ up somehow. He has collateral over me, and this is the only thing I have on him.”
Cian doesn’t need me to draw him a diagram. He understands. “Yer goin’ to offer yerself to him, are ya not? In exchange for Ethan and Eva.”
“I hope it doesn’t come to that. But I won’t be blackmailed again. That’s why he took them. That’s what he wants. He either wants me to surrender or work with him ’cause he can’t do this on his own. I’ll do what I have to, and I hope y’ll be by my side when I do.”
“Course I will,” Cian says with gusto. “We’re in this together. But don’t be actin’ the martyr. We fight first. Promise me that.”
“I promise ya,” I reply, and I mean it.
The last thing I intend to do is surrender. I will fight until the very end. But if defeated, I’ll have one final ace up my sleeve. A proposition Sean won’t be able to refuse. I just need to uncover what his motives are. And I can only do that with a face-to-face meeting.
“All right then. Pick me up, and we’ll go see Ron. What about Rory?”
And that is one problem I don’t think I’ll ever solve.
