Judd shifted in his seat. “So what did she get?”
He stared at his brother. Was he seriously asking about tattoo designs when the woman he loved was in danger?
“A wolf,” he gritted out.
A grin spread over Judd’s face.
“Stop fucking smiling like that. You already know I love her.”
“Yeah, but the fact she could love an ugly ass like you…”
He snorted. Leave it to Judd to cut through the crap. “How long before we’re on the ground?”
He checked his watch. “About thirty minutes.”
Thirty minutes left for him to lose his mind.
“You did all the right things, even if you bent a few rules, Jaren. You have to know that.”
Jaw hard, he stared at his brother. “I don’t know that, no.”
“You did what you thought was best for your ward, and that included taking care of her mental health.”
He scuffed his knuckles over his jaw, creating a rasping noise. “She’s been broken enough. I couldn’t watch her suffer being locked up.”
“I get it, man.” Judd might be right. He dealt with Ari’s ghosts too.
“As soon as this is over, I plan on making her mine. Officially.”
Judd reached out and clapped him on the shoulder. “Just in time for the family to visit.”
He straightened. “What are you talking about?”
“Jace didn’t tell you? Mom and Pop are coming for a visit and bringing our little brothers.”
Their little brothers were in their twenties and just as built if not more muscled than him, Judd and Jace.
“When?”
“Next month. Plenty of time for you to rescue the girl and then—”
“Win the girl over,” he concluded. “Then…” He trailed off, a half a smile creeping onto his face.
“Then?” Judd prompted.
“Then I introduce her to my family and the team…before we ride off on your Harley.”
Judd punched him lightly in the arm. “At least ask next time.”
They shared a chuckle. It felt good to release some of the fear and replace it with an even stronger determination to get Trinny safe and back in his arms.

Dom settled in the driver’s seat and wrapped his fingers around the calfskin steering wheel. He let out a satisfied noise. “I can see why your mother favored this car over the others and was put out when she ‘misplaced’ the key.”
Trinny peeled her stare off his long fingers and tried to stamp down the sensation of how they’d felt curled around her throat. Her insides still wobbled from the attack—but that didn’t mean her resolve to take him out was any less.
They pulled out of the driveway and onto the street headed toward the city and bank.
