Smiling at my uncles, I didn’t dare move when Mr. Montclair stepped up behind me, placing his hand on my hip, slowly pulling me back against him, until my back was flush with his chest.
“You here to help King find this Hiller?”
My uncles both nodded as they saw what I didn’t understand.
My uncle Matt smirked, while uncle Luc frowned.
King cleared his throat. “Pyro, take Skylar back into the kitchen. I know damn well she didn’t finish eating. Stay with her and make sure she does. Then come find us. We’ll be in church.”
Chase didn’t wait to be told twice as he turned me, keeping his hand on my hip as he escorted me back into the kitchen.
Chapter Twelve
Pyro
The second I had her alone in the kitchen, I grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall, caging her in. Holding her close to me, my heart pounded furiously in my chest.
I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, but I felt right.
She opened her delectable mouth to say something.
“Not a word,” I growled as I held her closer, leaning my head against hers. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing but I couldn’t stop myself and when her hands came up and wrapped around me, for the first time in five years, I could breathe again.
But like all the good things in my life, it was short-lived when the back door swung open and Cameron raced in.
Jumping away from her, cold descended around me again as I heard the little varmint shout. “Hey,Sky. Look what I got!”
Kneeling before her brother, Sky smiled warmly at him. “Wow. Is that a new truck?”
Looking at the door, I saw Bailey smirking at me as she slowly shook her head. Glaring at her, she kept whatever she was going to say to herself as she walked out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with Skylar and her brother.
“Were you good today?”
“Yep. Beth let me stock with Jamie. He’s so cool, Sky, and fun. We ate lunch together. He likes Harleys like I do. He told me that Scribe was helping him build his own bike. Can I have a bike too?”
“Maybe when you get a little bigger.”
“Sky?” her brother whispered.
“Yes.”
“I like it here. Can we stay?”
“I don’t know, Cameron. Our home is back in Juniper Hollow.”
“But the house blewed up, sissy. Where we gonna live?”
“I haven’t figured that out yet.”
“You are staying here, Cameron. This is your home now,” I said, interrupting. Her brother grinned, then quickly hugged me. “Knew you were the right man for the job.”
Narrowing my eyes at the little shit, I said, “You called my honor into question, kid. That’s not how you ask for help.”
The little shit winked at me. “Worked, didn’t it?”
“Why you little shit!” I growled, reaching for him as he bolted from the kitchen, laughing as he ran for freedom.
Alone again, Skylar Rose got to her feet and faced me. “You shouldn’t have told him that, Mr. Montclair. I haven’t decided where we are going to live yet. This is only temporary.”
