“We’re always in danger. It’s the life we live, but I’d rather die with you than live without you.”
“Anna…”
“You’re the only thing that has ever made sense, Rafe. You’re the only one that has ever made this life feel like something worth living.”
Fuck, she rips me apart, and she doesn’t even know it. I don’t want her away from me even though I know it’s selfish. She doesn’t want to go. I should force her, consequences be damned, but truthfully, if the situation were reversed, I wouldn’t leave her.
“Ride or die then?”
A small smile pulls at her lips. “Always.” She leans forward and cups my face with both hands before kissing me. Her lips are soft and sweet, her teeth grazing my bottom lip. She’s so curious, so trusting, and yet completely unaware of how sexy she is.
I flip her onto her back and settle between her thighs. “It’s been a while since I had a taste of you, little warrior.” Her cheeks stain pink under the silvery moonlight, and I smirk. So innocent.
I drag her underwear down her legs, and she squirms against the mattress. “Rafe. You don’t—” Her breathy moan cuts off her words, and I groan at the taste of her. Fuck. I’ll never get enough of her—never need anyone else. She’s like crack, and I’m permanently craving my high.
This right here is everything worth fighting for. Ride or die.

“I’m havingthe Hummers brought up,” Samuel says as soon as I walk into the kitchen in the morning. “Carlos has called in men from the city, but I don’t think there will be enough.”
Anna quietly slides away from me and goes to the coffee machine. Maria is bustling around the kitchen pretending she hears nothing as usual. She kisses Anna’s cheek and ushers her to a seat before making the coffee herself. “Anna and I will handle that,” I say.
She looks up at me, her brows pulling together. “We will?”
I say nothing, taking the mug of coffee that Maria hands me. “Nero will be here within the next few hours,” I say to Samuel while staring at my phone. “If I’m not back, start making preparations. Give him whatever he needs.”
Samuel nods. “You need some men?”
“No. I’ll go alone.”
He flashes me a disapproving look. It’s not safe in Juarez right now. The city is a war zone, but I need to seem trusting and approachable if I’m to get the extra men we need. Anna will help.
