“Shiloh, this is all I can do,” he said, lowering his forehead to rest on mine. “Please.”
All my good sense. All my list-making. All my planning and being sensible. It all evaporated.
“Okay,” I agreed.
He closed his eyes.
“Leave, Levi,” he said roughly.
“This is a fucking bad idea,” he said.
“It’ll be fine,” Gage told him.
“You sure you can do this?”
He opened his eyes and looked down at me. “It’s what she’s willing to do for now, and I’m not sleeping without her.”
My stomach fluttered.
“Call before he fucking snaps, not after,” Levi told me.
I turned to look at him. “What do you mean?”
“He burned down a fucking house over you once,” Levi said. “That’s gonna be number two on the list.”
Gage tensed and turned to Levi. “GO!”
“You did what?” I asked, wondering if I should pack my things and just go with them.
He turned back to me. “Long time ago. Things are different now.”
“I fucking hope so,” Levi said as he reached the door.
I waited until the door closed behind Levi before asking him, “Why did you burn down a house?”
Gage lowered his head and pressed a kiss to the corner of my mouth. “Someone touched what was mine,” he said softly. “I need to fuck you now, baby.”

“Seems you forgot to mention something to me,” Uncle Neil said, walking out of his office to address me.
I stopped pulling files and looked at him. “What?”
Lately, a concerned frown seemed to be permanently etched on his forehead when he looked at me. “I was going to go to Gage’s house to cut the leg cast off and put on a brace today. However, it seems he is coming here because he’s not at home.” Uncle Neil paused and studied me.
“Gage is getting his leg cast off?” I asked.
Uncle Neil nodded. “Yes. As you know, I have most equipment at their house since it’s not uncommon for them to need my services.”
Because they’re the Mafia and you didn’t tell me.I could throw that in his face. He hadn’t mentioned that.
“Shiloh, why is Gage Presley staying at your apartment?”
I was going to have to deal with this eventually. Might as well start the first week of the relationship.
“Because I won’t stay at his house,” I replied with a tight smile, then went back to looking for the patient files we needed. “I assume I should also pull Gage’s file?”
