“Cocky ass. Getting back to releasing me.”
Laughing, he moves over me, pinning my arms over my head. “Saying I’m holding you hostage or something?”
“Exactly.”
I buck my hips upward, meeting his pelvis, desire striking my belly when he grounds into me.
“Starting something you can’t finish, woman.”
“Oh, I can finish everything that I start,” I hiss, wickedly smirking at him.
My phone rings, and my gaze flickers away momentarily before returning to him.
“I’d better get that.”
“Mm-hmm. Told you, you can’t finish it,” he says, nipping my bottom lip.
“My family’s been blowing up my phone. I didn’t want to answer until you gave me the all-clear. I need to visit my dad, and you need to check on Ryan.”
Nitro tucks his head between my chin and shoulder grooves, biting my shoulder. “Mm...thinking maybe we should do something ‘bout this wood in my pants, and then we can ride out. Check on your family, Ryan, and finally, my brothers.”
I freeze underneath his titillating nibbles.
“What?”
“You said ‘we.’”
“That’s what I meant.”
“Sounds like I’ll be riding on your bike.”
“That’s what I meant.”
“Also, sounds like you plan to meet my family.”
“Problem with that?”
“No, but I have a problem returning to the clubhouse.”
Nitro rolls off me and onto his back beside me, pulling his hand down his face. I turn and stare at him. He’s gorgeous even with the darkness that surrounds him.
“You realize you’re going to eventually go there, right?”
“You know how I feel about that.”
“I do and respect it, but this is who I am, Simone. I get why you hate what I represent, but I am who I am. Life made me this way. I don’t kill for the sake of killing. When I kill...as you can see, it’s necessary. What happened at the pub...was hard for me to walk away from. I deserved to kill those bastards for what they did to our family. Know why I didn’t?”
I shake my head.
“Because I don’t want you to see me that way. Don’t want that to be entrenched in your head about me. I sacrificed a righteous kill for the sake of you.”
I don’t know what to do with that. So, I don’t. Instead, I shower and get dressed. There’s a lot that I have to consider, and I don’t even know if I want to be a part of Nitro’s world.
No, scratch that. I don’t want to be a part of his world but I want him in my life.
How can I reconcile the two?
When I’m finished, I head out to my sister’s place, leaving Nitro and Zeus behind, sadly watching me leave. I take the half-hour trip to Niecy’s house, where Tiff and my dad are, to spend time with them.
