I looked back at Dante sleeping soundly. He’d wake in a couple of hours to eat again, then he’d sleep until six in the morning. “Eat first. I might pass out in the shower if I don’t get something in my stomach.”
“If you did, I’d catch you.” The promise in his words put a smile on my face.
“I know you would.”
Danny turned on the baby monitor attached to the crib. It looked like a lollipop.
I searched for the cordless device to take with us. “Where’s the—”
“I got it covered.” He raised his cell phone to show me Dante on the screen.
“Ooh, fancy.”
“You know Storm, only the best for his baby. We’ll buy our own.” He took my hand and led me out of the bedroom. “We’re limited on what we can cook, but I got some things you like from the kitchen in the clubhouse. In the morning, make a list, and I’ll send out a prospect to get it.”
All this talk about buying whatever I wanted or needed like it was no big deal was strange. So was the way he talked about prospects as if he wasn’t—wait.
I stopped, jerking his hand.
“What’s the matter?”
I looked at the member patch on the front of his cut and touched it.
“Oh yeah, full fledge, baby. Since last fall.”
Why was I so shocked? I’d known before my dad took me away that Danny was next in line to be patched. Still, the realization jarred me.
“Wow, fully fledged. You get all the privileges now.” Including the kittens.
Danny didn’t say anything as he seated me on the sofa, putting a pillow under my knee. I loved this attentive side of him. He squatted and took my face in his hands.
“I love you, Emilee. You know this, don’t you?” His brown eyes darkened as they traveled over my face. “Answer me,” he said in a demanding tone.
I gulped as my body reacted to this different side to him. This… alpha side.
“Yes,” I whispered.
His lips ghosted over mine, making me inhale a sharp breath. “And you love me.”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“Then why did doubt and insecurity flash in your pretty blue eyes?” He touched his nose to mine, stroking my cheeks with his thumbs. “I haven’t laid one finger on a kitten or any other woman. You’re my woman, Emilee. Mine and no one else’s. Understand?”
“Yes.”
His lips sealed against mine and stole my breath away in a passionate kiss. I wanted him so badly. Forget food. Forget a shower. I wanted Danny to take me right here on the sofa.
He broke away, a cocky grin playing on his lips. “I’ll give it to you after you eat and shower.”
My cheeks flamed red hot. Could he actually hear my thoughts?
He lifted off the ground and swaggered away. “I don’t want no one other than you, Em.”
This man, he knew how to wipe all my worries away. I loved him with every cell in my body. It was foolish of me to doubt him.
After I ate a banana-and-peanut-butter sandwich, washing it down with a glass of milk, Danny got the shower going for me. He seemed determined to care for my every need. It reinforced his love for me. Piper had told me I had nothing to worry about. She’d been right, again.
Danny appeared in only a pair of boxers. “I checked on Little D. Still sound asleep.” He removed the pillow from under my knee and lowered my leg to the ground. “Let’s get you washed, pretty girl.”
