“I know how I feel about you, Roja.”
“I know how I feel about you too. We’ll give each other the words when the right time arrives.”
“Fucking hell, woman. You’re frustrating.”
She smiled wide, lifting off me. She got on all fours and wagged her ass in my face. “How frustrating?”
I growled, lining myself up, driving into her from behind. “So frustrating I’m going to fuck you into next Tuesday.”
“Promises, promises.”
Tara screamed as Luna jumped onto the bed, meowing.
“Dammit, I forgot to close the door.” I dropped my forehead onto her shoulder and kissed her neck.
“Don’t you dare stop, big guy.” She brushed Luna away. “Mommy will feed you soon, baby. I told you I should’ve taken care of her first.”
“You’re right. I should’ve listened to you.”
“Don’t you ever forget it.”
I slapped her ass and got to fucking her into next Tuesday.

Tara
I’D NEVER FELT more cared for than I did the moment Hero held my hand through my appointment with Dr. Kelly. He’d asked thoughtful questions, listened with interest. He was the first person I let into this part of my life. In return, he showed me nothing but love and respect.
I could tell he received Dr. Kelly’s approval despite his black leather cut and Sergeant at Arms patch on his chest.
Dr. Kelly jotted something on her notepad. Each time she did it, Hero squeezed my hand. I stifled a laugh. “I would like to see both of you together twice a month. I feel it would be beneficial to your relationship. It’ll give each of you the chance to discuss any issues you may have without fear of judgment.”
“Oh, um…” I bit my lip. This might be too much. I never mentioned us doing couples counseling.
“Done. Name the day and time. I’m bringing Tara to all of her appointments, so it’ll be no problem.”
I whipped my head toward Hero. “But you have work.”
“I already told you. You’re more important to me.” He lifted my hand and kissed it.
Dr. Kelly smiled, nodding her head. “Perfect.”
“Well, don’t you get into trouble for missing work.” I was only giving him crap. It meant the world to me that he agreed to couples counseling.
“Do you see that?” He nodded toward me. “I love when my fiery redhead gives me hell.”
I smirked, pride building in my chest. I loved being called a fiery redhead. Not once did I see myself the way others did, like Maddy and every other guy I met. I wanted to be tough. Brave. Not afraid of the dark. I wasn’t so sure I could be the badass everyone seemed to think I was, when put to the test. Not like Maddy with the Hunters. That girl had been fucking fearless.
Dr. Kelly laughed. “I think he might be a keeper.”
“Or a top-rated bullshitter.” I blew him a kiss to show I was only playing. Hero wore his heart on his sleeve. His words matched his expressions, whether happy, sad, or furious.
“Or that.” Dr. Kelly snickered.
After scheduling two months’ worth of appointments, Hero and I headed back home to Bastion Township. We sat in comfortable silence, holding hands for most of the drive. It was nice. I appreciated that he didn’t grill me. He just seemed to know what I needed.
But now I was curious.
