“I love you so fucking much,” he murmured. “Everything about you.”

I brushed my lips over his. “You’re only saying that because I let you fuck me on a construction site.”

He laughed but then he shook his head. “I’m saying it because it’s true. You surprise me, Rebel Kemp. In all the best ways, do you know that? I never know what I’m going to get with you.”

“Some men wouldn’t like that,” I said quietly. “Common consensus, at least before the three of you came along, was that I’m ‘too much.’”

His face clouded over, anger igniting in his eyes. “Fuck any man who ever said that to you. Fuck any person who ever thought it. You are never too much, Rebel. You’re wild, and you’re crazy, and apparently, I am too when I’m with you. No other woman has ever made me want to fuck them while they’re restrained to an excavator bucket. But I don’t care. I like who I am when I’m with you. I like who Vaughn and I are when you’re in our lives.”

I voiced one of the tiny worries that had plagued the space at the back of my mind ever since that night the four of us had had sex at the boxing club. “I don’t want to be your third wheel. You guys have a history that goes well beyond the last few months.”

He shook his head. “We tried and we failed. Then we spent a decade avoiding each other because we couldn’t work it out alone.” He smiled against my lips. “We were waiting for you, Little Demon. You were the missing piece.”

My heart squeezed, that tiny fear put to rest once and for all thanks to the honesty and surety in his voice.

“Make love to me,” I whispered, shifting on his dick. “You asked if you could fuck me, but I’m asking for more.”

Something flickered in his eyes, but he nodded, carrying me to the side of the worksite shed and pressing me into the side of it. “It’s not candlelight and roses,” he admitted on a slow slide into my body.

“I don’t need that. Where we are doesn’t matter. I just need you.”

And that’s what he gave me. His mouth. His tongue. His fingers. His dick.

His heart.

We came together, softly and slowly, achingly sweet while he whispered I love yous across my lips.

I said them right back, cementing the feeling in my heart.

It was a long time before we let go of each other. We stayed there, connected in the moonlight, the setting not romantic, but our feelings all that mattered.

When I finally put my feet to the earth once more, I was sure we’d lost hours, just being together in the moment.

The sun was beginning to rise, casting a soft orange glow across the darkness of the night. I slipped my fingers between Kian’s. “The sun coming up feels like our cue to leave.”

“Especially because the weekend crew will probably be here in the next thirty minutes.” He tugged my skirt down. “As much as I enjoy fucking you with an audience, I don’t really want it to be my new colleagues. I should maybe at least go out for a beer with them before I let them watch you come.”

“Deal.”

I got my underwear back into place and watched the sun creep higher over the horizon while Kian pulled up the zipper on his fly. I leaned back against the tin work shed, fingers brushing over something cold and solid, not made from the same corrugated material as the rest of the shed. I glanced down at it.

“Kian?” I asked quietly. “Were you aware you worked for Caleb’s company?”

Kian’s head snapped up, his fingers pausing on the button of his pants. “What?”

I pointed at the plaque that had Black Industries and their various license numbers etched into the brass metal.

Kian frowned. “Doesn’t he have some consulting business in the city?”

“Yes, but if you Google him, all his businesses come under the umbrella of Black Industries.”

Kian squinted at it, then swore low under his breath. “I had no idea. I was hired through a recruitment company, all my paperwork has their company name on it, not Black Industries. He must have outsourced.” He shook his head, then grabbed my hand. “I’m so sorry. I’ll quit as soon as someone gets here to open the site office.”

“Do you think he realizes you work for him?”

Kian rubbed a hand over the back of his neck slowly while he pondered that. “I don’t think so. The hiring of grunt staff like me is a minion job. I doubt he’d lower himself.”

“Then stay. It might help us to have someone on the inside.”
