Fuck it.
“Work for me,” I repeated, softer this time.
She shook her head. “I can’t work for a man who just fucked me with his fingers!”
In an instant, I was on my feet, pulling her up to me, her chest against mine. I tightened my jaw. “Baby, you aren’t leaving. The second I pinned you to my barn, you felt this.”
“What is this?” she cried. She looked away from me.
“This,” I growled, grabbing her chin once more and forcing her to look at me, “is you and I being drawn to each other. This is me wanting you in my life, in my bed. This is you being a good daughter and fighting for your mom. This is us giving in.”
“I—”
“I’m sorry for yelling at you,” I stated.
Her mouth closed, her memorizing eyes flashing.
“I’m sorry I insulted you. I’m sorry I doubted you when that bastard hurt you, took away your livelihood, and then I had the audacity to assume you still worked for him…after everything that you had gone through the night before,” I said, my voice gentle.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” she whimpered.
Neither did I. Thinking about her eyes filled with fear, being held against her will…it made me want to kill that bastard all over again, slower this time.
“Give me a week.”
“A week?”
“Help me get TimfuckingMoonie out of Colorado.”
“And after we do that?” she pressed.
I didn’t get the chance to answer, because downstairs, the front door was opened and I heard Mags yell, “Kings, get your ass down here!”
I tensed, looking to the open bedroom door, and called back, “Coming!”
“Kings?”
I looked back to my enchantress, cupping her face with one hand. “My callsign.”
We held each other’s eyes for a moment, neither one of us willing to break it.
“Denver!” Mags roared. I broke our stare then, looking back at the door, my jaw tightening.
“God,fuck—if I leave, will you be here when I get back?” I asked her, growling in frustration.
“I...”
“Val, I got a man down there who needs me,” I reminded her.
She nodded.
I almost smiled.
Almost.
God, I wanted her mouth again. So, I took it. My tongue swept inside her sweet mouth, and I groaned at the taste. When I broke the kiss, her eyes were hooded, her flush intensified.
Enchanting.
