“I can walk,” I mumble.
“I know you can.” Dominic’s words rumble through me. “But I want to hold you.”
So I let him.
And it’s the last thing I remember.
CHAPTER72
Dom
Nero holdshis hand out to shake. It’s an olive branch. An acceptance.
And I want it.
But I also love fucking with him.
So I take it but then use my hold to pull him into a hug.
Nero stiffens.
“Thanks for inviting us,” I say, patting his back.
He tries to shove me off. “King invited you, not me.”
Payton steps up next to us, and I start to let him go. “Alright, alright, ya big baby. Gotta hug your wife goodbye, anyway.”
Nero tries to get a jab to my kidney, but I’m expecting it, so I manage to get out of the way just in time.
I tsk. “Hit me and you won’t get your blinged-out knuckles.” Nero’s jaw works. “And don’t worry, I’ll order it in a lady’s size so it fits.”
“I take it back.” He stares at me with his black eyes. “I don’t like you.”
His little wife elbows him in the side, and he drapes his arm over her shoulder.
King approaches, Savannah already tucked under his arm. “Appreciate you making the trip.”
“It was our pleasure.”
Valentine finishes tying the belt on her jacket, having already done her goodbye hugs. “If you guys want to shell out a fortune to rent this place again, we’ll gladly come back.” She smiles. “And maybe next time I’ll stay awake for it.”
Savannah grins. “I’m sure we can arrange something.” Then she turns her smile on me. “Thank you again for the beautiful bracelet.”
Payton gives her thanks as well.
Val bites her lip. “I feel bad leaving without saying goodbye to Aspen.”
Savannah snorts. “Serves her right for getting up to go on a run or whatever the hell she’s doing.”
Valentine nods, but I can tell she doesn’t want to leave without seeing her sister.
I hear Rob pulling up the driveway, so I glance out the window next to the door, watching him drive through the fresh coating of snow. And then I grin.
“I’m guessing it wasn’t a run.” I swing the front door open, and we all watch Aspen climb out of the passenger seat in the same clothes as last night.
Val slaps her hand over her mouth, but it’s too late to cover the gasp.
“What the fuck?” King booms.
