I leaned my head against hers. “When did you get so smart?”
“The day I was born.”
I hugged her. “I love you.”
“I love you too, sis. And if you mess that up—” she nodded at Kavner “—I will be so mad.”
I squeezed her hand, then walked in his direction.
When I reached him, I touched his back. His muscles were tight.
“You okay?”
“No.” His hands were clenched into tight fists.
I saw his knuckles were torn and bloody. From avenging me, protecting me. I lifted them and pressed quick kisses over the top of his hands.
“Seeing you in danger is not something I like.” His voice was a low growl.
I stepped in front of him and pressed my hands to his chest. “We won, Kavner. You stopped the violent man who attacked me. Viv is going to prison, and Keegan said she’s agreed to spill on the Accosta cartel. Their money laundering operation will be dismantled.”
“Good.”
He was still so tight. I stroked his jaw. “It’s time to let the anger go now.” I pressed into him. “We’re alive. We beat the bad guys.”
Something broke in him, and he hauled me up.
“Let it go.” I kissed him sweetly, taking my time.
“I’m falling in love with you, London.”
His words made my eyes go wide and I gasped.
“I see the fear in your eyes.” He sounded amused.
I swallowed. “I’m afraid, but I’m not a coward.” I dragged in a deep breath. “I’m falling for you too.”
Now, I saw all kinds of emotion burst in his eyes. His kiss was hot, hard, and desire was a hot spike in my belly. Even with so many people around, my panties went damp.
“It wasn’t that long ago, I wanted to arrest you.”
“I remember.”
“But you managed to set fire to my defenses, and turned them to ash. Now, I trust you. Completely. But I’m scared too. Scared to give you my heart. It’s been broken before.”
“I’m scared too, London, but I’ve got you. I’ll make it my life’s work to never let anything hurt you. I’ve learned that the best things are the ones you fight for.”
I grabbed his hand, and pressed it to my chest. Right over the beat of my heart.
“Then I’m all yours, Kavner Fury.”

LONDON
Iwoke up in Kav’s bed and stretched. Turning on my side, I noted that his side was empty, and that there were sheets and pillows everywhere.
Heat hit my cheeks and I smiled. My man had been very creative last night.
