“Together,” he repeats.
“If it makes you feel better, I’ll set up a desk for you in the salon so you have eyes on me all the time.”
“Not a bad idea.”
“Ford, I’m kidding. Shayla would drive you crazy.”
He finally gives me his lopsided grin, sending my insides swarming.
“Being a protector is part of you. Please, never give that up for me.”
“You’re everything.”
The simple statement has my eyes stinging.
“You’ll tell me if it ever gets to be too much.”
“It won’t because it’s you. And I’m madly, head-over-heels, unconditionally in love with you.”
His gaze is light with a different kind of heat. The kind that makes my toes curl and body hum.
“Walk into a room and get hard for you every time. Sweet, shy, and so fucking smart I don’t know half the stuff you talk about with your formulas. But when you throw attitude, my cock goes to granite.”

“They can wait.” He nuzzles my neck, nipping the skin.
“Your parents will be here soon.”
“We have an hour.”
“Talon gets released today.” My excuse is throaty and half-assed.
Desire pools low in my stomach, winding its way through my system.
“You denying me?”
“I’m postponing. You should rest. We’ve had a lot of sex the last few days. Plus, we need to get our tree.”
His eyes glitter and my resistance goes up in smoke. “After I fuck you, I’ll buy you a dozen trees.”
Before I can respond, his mouth closes over mine and all banter is gone.
This is the day I learn throwing attitude works to my benefit.

“Tell me the truth. Is it too much?” Rowan frets looking between the men sprawled out on the couch.
“It’s lovely, Rowan,” my dad tells her.
“Looks nice,” Ace offers.
