“Don’t worry about my sins,” Reese said. “I’ll wash them away before I come to you.” He pulled her close for a hug. “You’re my savior, sweetheart. You’re the only one who can tame the beast inside me. But right now, I have to leave.”
“You have to be the beast.”
“Yes.”
“I would tell you to be safe, but I don’t think that matters.”
Reese grinned. “You’re beautiful, Josie. You’ve been beautiful from the time you were a teenager. I’ve lived an outlaw life and have seen a lot of things… but nothing compares to you. The way you make me feel when I look at you. And when we touch each other, it gives me another purpose in life.”
“I love you, Reese.”
“I love you too.” He kissed her.
Josie hated to let him go. But she did.
Reese walked to the door and looked back with a grin.
“Hey,” she said. “Be safe.”
“I thought you said that it doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t,” Josie said. “Whatever is going to happen is going to happen, but I wanted to say it.”
“I’ll be safe, sweetheart. I’ll be back soon. I promise.”
Reese left the apartment.
Josie stepped back to the table and bit her lip.
This was the insanity of the life. One minute, she was on the kitchen table, Reese inside her, making her forget about everything wrong in the world. The next minute, he was gone to fight in an outlaw way she didn’t understand.
Josie told herself not to cry.
But that was a lie.

When the apartment door opened, Josie jumped up off the couch.
“Steph.”
“Hey,” Steph said with a smile. “Sorry.”
“Sorry for what?”
“Scaring you. I figured I’d come home and shower.”
“Oh. Okay.”
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re lying,” Steph said. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Nothing,” Josie said. “Reese stopped by before and he had to leave.”
“Club stuff.”
