“Exactly. Don’t plan a future here when we know our future is her, not the location.”

I waved a hand, dismissing his logic. “Did the sheriff say anything about the condition of that bastard when you brought him in?”

“Nope. Considering he was the one you wrote that incident report on last week, he was glad we finally had the bastard in custody.”

We fell silent when Georgia shifted, this time rousing from her light sleep. Brushing her wild hair away from her face, she blinked up at Shade, a small smile forming.

“Hi,” she said. “Why are you awake and staring at me?”

Shade inclined his head my way. “Talking to Trap.”

She twisted on the bed, the sheet she held to her chest pooling around her waist. I stifled a groan at seeing her nipples poking through the thin white T-shirt she wore to bed.

“Hi,” she whispered. “You coming to bed?”

For the first time in my life, I fucking hated my hang-ups. Sex? Fine. Sleeping with someone, having them wrapped around me or touching me all night, wasn’t an option. And I never wanted to not be my fucked-up self more than in this exact moment.

I shook my head, and that soft smile fell.

With a single finger, Shade directed her face toward his own. “It’s not you, baby. Trap is—”

“Fucked-up,” I finished for him, even though I knew those weren’t the words he would’ve said. “He’s right. It has nothing to do with you.”

Gently manhandling her, Shade twisted Georgia around until her back pressed against his chest, then curled his arm around her waist, securing her to him.

“What were you two talking about while I was asleep?” she whispered, eyes locked on me.

“How we’ll follow you anywhere.” No reason to be shy about it.

Her lips parted on a gasp. “What do you mean?”

“That if you and Grace decide to leave Grandger, then Trap and I will go where you go.”

I nodded, showing Georgia I agreed with Shade’s statement.

“And what if… what if I want to stay? Here?” she murmured.

My heart leapt in my throat, stealing my words until I could swallow down the ball of emotions lodged there. “Then we’ll figure out something for the four of us. If that’s what you want. Today….” I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. “Today proved that no matter where you go, we want to be there, keeping you safe, being there when you need us most.”

“And us?” she asked. “How would that work?”

Standing from the chair, I moved to the bed and dropped to my knees, leaning down until I was eye level with her. “We keep doing this. We want this, want you and Grace. I know it’s not conventional, and people in town might not be as open-minded as we are, but this is us. Me and Shade, we’re a package deal whether you stay here or leave.”

Her hand snaked out from beneath the covers, rasping along the sheets before she brushed the tips of two fingers along my lips.

“I want this. But I’m not sure how it’ll work with Gracie.”

Taking her hand, I slid her palm up until it cupped my jaw. “We’ll figure it out. Together. We know she’s your priority. But….” I pulled her palm to my lips and planted a kiss in the center. “You want to stay here with us?”

When she nodded, I didn’t hold back, surging forward to seal my lips to hers. Nails scraped along my scalp, fingers tangling in my hair, as she held me tighter. When she groaned, I took the opening, slipping my tongue inside her mouth to tease her own. Heat seared through my veins as the bed shifted. I pulled back at her surprised gasp, focusing on where Shade had his hand dipped beneath her boy shorts.

Not saying a word, I slid lower on the bed, pulled her shirt away from her skin, and dipped my head beneath the thin white cotton. Sweat immediately dotted my forehead and slicked the back of my neck, but I didn’t give a fuck. With the tip of my tongue, I circled her pebbled tip before sucking it between my lips. Her moan vibrated through her chest, echoing in my ears.

When her fingers traced along the tight band of my boxer briefs, I froze, waiting to see what she would do. With her nipple still between my lips, I sucked harder when her fingers dipped beneath and wrapped around the tip of my steel-hard cock. Moving out from beneath her shirt, I gripped the hem and yanked it over her head, displaying her perfect tits.

Green eyes held mine as she adjusted her hold with the new angle, working her hand up and down in firm strokes.

“Fuck, sweetheart,” I groaned before shifting to devour her lips while pinching and tugging at her nipples.
