“Better,” I admitted.
“She still fucking squirrelly about being committed to you?”
“Nah, she’s settling down.”
A few days ago while Willa was signing a legal document to finish the process of legally adopting Waverly, she’d messed up her signature. She’d written her maiden name, not my last name, and she’d gotten upset about it. Likereallyupset. Upset enough that I wondered if it was hormone related, and if she might be pregnant.
But I hadn’t asked.
She didn’t need that kind of pressure from me. Besides, I was having a hell of good time trying to knock her up. I’d made it my mission to fuck her at least once a day. Sometimes twice, and always with purpose.
“You look happy,” Savage noted.
“I am happy.”
“This shit with the cartel…”
“I try not to think about it too much.”
“It’s gonna get bad…”
“Yeah.”
“Bloody.”
“Yep.”
“There’s gonna to be total fucking carnage.”
I nodded. “You’re not going to do anything stupid, are you?”
“Stupid? Stupid, how?”
“Stupid like being reckless because you’re in the middle of an existential crisis.”
“It’s not existential.”
“What is it then?”
“Boredom,” he muttered. “Fucking boredom.”
“I don’t get it. You’re with a different woman every night. How can you possibly be bored?”
“But they’reall the same, Duke. You don’t get it. Willa’s been the one for you since we were kids.”
“Are you saying—do you want what we have?”
“I don’t know. I just know everything and everyone is just—I’m bored.”
I groaned. “When you’re bored, you go looking for trouble. And ifyouget into trouble, Willa will killmefor not keeping you out of trouble.”
Savage smirked. “You’re right. Nothing has changed. Willa still has you a on a leash.”
“If you’re looking for a fight, you’re about to get one.”
My phone vibrated and I pulled it from my leather cut.
Willa
