The White Wolf has been removed from the cage, and the masked referee is still holding Harley’s hand up announcing him as the winner. Another masked security guard hands him a thick manilla envelope. Harley stares down at the envelope as if he still can’t quite believe he won.

He stumbles slightly as he steps out of the cage, and I run at him, jumping into his arms. His hands drop to my ass as I wrap my arms and legs around him, burying my head in his neck. I don’t care about the blood or sweat. All I care about is the fact he made it out of there in one piece.

“I did it, Kitten,” he murmurs into my hair. “I freaking did it.”

“Yeah, you did, man.” Lachy slaps him on the shoulder, grinning from ear to ear. “That was some next level Jason Statham bullshit you pulled in there. I’m impressed.”

I pull back and cup his face in my hands to take stock of his injuries. His right eye is completely swollen shut, and he has a cut on the bridge of his nose. “We need to get some ice on this,” I say, running my thumb softly over his eye.

“I’m fine,” he says, pressing his lips to mine briefly before lowering me to my feet. He narrows his eyes at Lachy. “Where’s Tom?”

Lachy grimaces. “With your friends,” he says, using air quotes around the word friends. “We decided it wasn’t a good idea for Lily to be anywhere near them.”

“So, you just left him on his own with the men whothreatened to kill him?”

“I did it to keep your girlfriend safe, man.” He scruffs Harley’s hair. “Don’t stress. We’ve got the money now, I’ll go find him.”

Harley grabs his arm. “We can’t do the exchange here. Meet us back at the car in twenty minutes. That way we can get the fuck out of here as soon as it’s done.”

Lachy gives him a terse nod before disappearing into the crowd.

“Don’t be mad at him. It was Tom’s idea.” I place my hand on Harley’s chest. His heart is still racing from the adrenaline of the fight. “Lachy did what you said: he kept me safe.”

Harley mutters a curse before crushing his lips to mine. There’s an urgency in his kiss as he tangles his hands in my hair, pulling me closer, and I enjoy the heady taste of his lust. “I don’t know what I would have done if something happened to you,” he pants when he finally pulls away, resting his forehead against mine. “I’m falling for you hard, Kitten. I’d do anything to keep you safe, even if it meant giving up my life for you.”

My heart swells, and tears prick the corner of my eyes. The heavy weight of his words settles around me, and I have to look away from him. “Don’t say that.”

He tilts my chin so I’m forced to look up at him, his icy blue gaze boring into mine. “It’s the truth. Mum always used to say, people come into your life when you need them the most. Everything had turned to shit when I met you that firstnight in Sydney. I was angry at everyone I loved, and I thought my whole life was falling apart. I risked my life that night to save you, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Lily,” he breathes my name, brushing my hair behind my ears and pressing his lips to mine. “I’m sure Mum sent you to me, she must have. It’s the only thing that makes sense.”

I swallow thickly, wondering whether he would still say the same if he knew the truth about me. About who I really am.

Before I can say anything, Harley steps away and tugs me after him until we get to the corridor that leads down to the changerooms. The security guard from earlier is no longer standing there and we make it to Harley’s without anyone stopping us.

The room is empty, but Zeke’s bag still sits in the corner. Harley flicks the lock and tosses the manilla envelope into his own bag before pushing me up against the door, devouring my mouth with his. He grinds up against me, and I feel the hard cup that he wears to protect himself.

“Fuck,” he grunts as I giggle against his lips. He slips his hand between us to remove it and tosses it to the side. His arms come down around my ass, and he lifts me, pressing his hardening cock against my core. I moan, my eyes rolling back in my head at the heady sensation of his piercings rubbing against me.

“Oh, yes…” I pant into his mouth. “More. Please, I need more.”

He chuckles, biting down on my bottom lip beforesucking at it. “My girl’s needy for me?”

“God, yes.”

His tongue assaults my mouth again until I’m dizzy with desire. He lowers my legs slowly until I’m standing somewhat unsteadily, then he drops to his knees in front of me.

“Too many clothes,” he growls, making quick work of popping the button and zipper on my jeans and pulling them down my legs. He pulls off my black boots and tosses them over his shoulder before tugging my jeans all the way off. My underwear goes next, and he lets out a deep rumble of appreciation as he takes in my naked pussy glistening for him.

I squirm under his intense gaze, my chest heaving in anticipation. Harley places my left leg over his shoulder before leaning forward and running his tongue through my slit. My fingers thread through his dark, sweaty locks as I stare down at the man on his knees for me–the same man who would lay down his life for me.

His grip tightens on my thighs as his tongue pushes inside of me, licking and sucking as he moans his pleasure, the vibrations causing me to whimper in need.

“I could eat this pretty pussy until the day I die,” he says, grazing his teeth over my sensitive nub as he pushes one finger inside me.

I tug his hair, bringing his gaze up to lock on mine. “No one’s dying, Herc. Now please, make me come.”

“With pleasure,” he chuckles. He sucks my clit into his mouth as he pushes another finger into me, curling until hehits my g-spot.

He alternates fucking me with his fingers and his tongue, edging me closer to my orgasm. My fingers tighten in his hair as my walls clench around his fingers inside me. I cry out as I come, while he continues to lick up every last bit of my release as if it’s his favourite dessert.
