Her face was pale, and she still had that devastated expression on her face. Like the lifeforce had drained right out of her. The past days would try anyone, never mind someone as strong as Sage. He wanted to take her hurt and make it his, to give whatever comfort he could give her.
Dante walked up the steps and Sage walked into his arms. He pulled her in so tight, there was no air between them.
Just like that. It felt like…
Coming home.
The noise in his head that told him this was crazy was silenced.
Sonny walked past them and gave Dante a knowing smirk.
“I think you’ll need these.” Sonny chuckled and offered his packet of smokes.
Instead of taking them, Dante gave him the middle finger.
Sonny kept laughing and opened the front door. “Hey fuckers! Get a look at D. He’s done for.”
“Shit,” Dante mumbled against Sage’s hair. But he didn’t let go of her.
He felt her tremble and pulled back.
But Sage wasn’t upset or crying. She was laughing.
“Sorry.” She shook her head and then rested it on his chest again. “Am I ruining your reputation?”
“Nah, Sonny’s just being an ass.”
Sage sighed and Dante felt her body melt into his.
“What did Naria and Cameron have to say?” she asked.
“Naria recognized your brother’s name. Said he owed Padraig a lot of money and was making him work off the debt.”
“Oh fuck.”
“Fuck is right,” a deep voice bellowed behind them.
Dante turned, with Sage still in his arms, to find Gage staring at them.
“Let’s go inside,” Gage commanded. “We gotta a shitload to talk about.”
Sage
Sage didn’t want to let go of Dante.
Which was all kind of crazy because God knows, the man was not a walking advertisement for cuddling. Or any kind of display of affection.
Or affection at all.
If anything, Sage suspected that Dante avoided any kind of touch that didn’t lead directly to sex.
Except, he’d comforted her. She walked into his arms, and he’d pulled her in. Like she belonged to him.
Or maybe he was just feeling sorry for her?
Her whole world had been turned upside down.
Was he placating her out of pity? Or was it because he really wanted to hold her?
