I tilted her chin toward me, kissing her, long and hard. Our tongues twined. We finally broke for air.
“It can’t be like that. I don’t want that. Do you?”
“No.” She winced. “It seems like a pattern. Like something we’re falling into.”
I gave her a half-smile. “We are the ones who determine the patterns now. It’s all us. No one else. Everything that happened between our families ends now. We can decide that once and for all.”
Kennedy shook her head. “You really have been gone a long time.”
“Hey, there’s no one standing in our way. I’m not going back to Paris.” I could feel the heat rolling in waves off her body. I moved my hand to the curve of her hip. “I’m here. That means we have to deal with this together. No one else has a say. No one else has power. It’s you and me. That’s it.”
“Then I need to ask you something,” she responded quietly.
“All right.” I ran my thumb against her cheek. “Ask me whatever you want. What is it?” I had hoped this would happen. I needed her help, but I wasn’t going to ask for it. She had to offer it. To come to me on her own.
“I know you’ve been meeting with my assistant, Crew. Tell me what you two have meeting about it. And why is Seraphina involved? I want the truth. No more secrets, or I call Kimble.”
I rolled her on her back. She gasped. “I’m serious, Knight.”
I smiled. “I’ve been waiting for that question all night.”
“You have?” Her eyes darted back and forth.
I dragged my lips over hers. “Mmmhmm. If only you had asked that first.”
She inhaled deeply. “Are you going to tell me?”
“I am. The entire story,” I admitted. I wouldn’t leave out any of the details.
I hooked my arm under her knee. She gasped.
“But first…”
She bit her lower lip. “You’re that confident I’m going to like the answer?”
I laughed. “I am.” I lowered myself over her body, ready to love her until the last drop of rain fell from the sky tonight.
