He’d been saying he’d find us a home since I graduated from high school five months ago. Had he made good on his word? Nope. His club was priority number one in his life, although he’d never admit I came second. I didn’t take it personallythat much.
Rocky wasstilla prospect and had to do all the shitty jobs and take orders from his uncle and other members so he could get patched in. His situation wasn’t any different from mine. We did what needed to be done to survive and have what we wanted. For Rocky, that was being a member of his uncle’s club, Hell’s Bells MC. It’d been a long, tedious road, but Rocky would finally get patched in on New Year’s Eve. I couldn’t wait. Then maybe we could get our own place.
“Next year, I’ll prepare a grand Thanksgiving meal for us,” I told him softly to help calm him. It wouldn’t work, no matter how I tried to soothe him. Once he reached his overflow line, only sex brought him back down.
When Rocky slipped into a manic state, usually when he had to go on a run with the club, I would do anything to help him through it. Which was why we were out in the elements on this freezing November day.
Not even turning twenty-two a couple of days ago had lifted his spirits. My impending trip had put him in a foul mood.
A fresh blanket of snow had fallen on the ground overnight. We didn’t usually come to our spot during winter, but I’d agreed at Rocky’s request. I had seen the desperation in his gray eyes, like a crack addict needing a hit. I couldn’t have him on edge and manic while I was away. Couldn’t let him drink himself into the gutter to self-soothe or seek out drugs to pacify himself until I returned. He might end up in bed with another woman… otherwomen.
Rocky was a complicated man.Myman. I knew how to deal with him and what he needed when his demons tried to rise to the surface. I was his savior, and I wouldn’t let him down.
A gust of wind whipped around us, blowing my long blonde hair into Rocky’s face. I blinked rapidly to moisten my eyes and rolled my lips into my mouth.
“Next fucking year, I could be dead.”
“Why would you say that?” I screeched and kicked him in the shin, but it didn’t faze him. Shit, he might be deeper into the dark corners of his mind than I’d realized. “Jesus, Rocky. I’d slap you if my hands weren’t bound!”
“You know the club life is dangerous, Ella. Tomorrow isn’t promised for any of us. Fuck, you could stumble and fall, hit your pretty head on a rock, and it’s lights out for good.”
“If this is your way of making me feel better, you suck balls at it.”
“Baby, I’m just giving it to you straight.”
“Well, don’t. Lie to me, dammit, so I don’t go out of my mind worrying about you for the next four days!”
He captured my lips and kissed me with so much vigor and emotion, my throat constricted and tears rolled down my face.
“Don’t kiss me like it’s the last time.” What was going on with him? Was he keeping something from me?
He reared back. “Are you mine?”
I gasped. “Yes.”
“Do you love me?”
“Down to the marrow of my bones, you jerk. What aren’t you telling me?”
“No one, not God or the Reaper, can keep me from you. I will love you until I take my last breath, then haunt you until you take yours.” He bit my bottom lip, and I hissed, feeling him draw blood. “So don’t you ever betray me or let a fuckface nearmypussy, or I will punish you to within an inch of your life.”
“You’re so romantic and endearing.” Rolling my eyes, I sniffled and cleared my throat of the panicked emotion he’d elicited. This was Rocky overreacting. He knew I’d never betray him, but he needed to warn and threaten me because we would be apart for several days.
“You don’t like weak-ass, cheesy men, Ella. You want to be dominated and possessed. You like me to go all king-of-the-jungle alpha on you. And I will for the rest of our lives. I love you so fucking feral and completely, I’ve ruined you for anyone else.”
“Yes, you have ruined me.” I stared into his molten gaze. “No one could ever fill your boots, baby.”
“Good. Now let me hear it again.”
“Unicorn.”
“And who do you belong to?”
“You.” God, he was so bossy and demanding; it turned me on big time.
He gripped my face in his hand and kissed me hard.
My heart rate skyrocketed. My pussy tingled and throbbed, anticipating what he would say next. If today went well, he might want to do the chase in subzero temps. I would hate it because I didn’t like being cold, but I’d do it for him.
