He lets out a long sigh before tipping his head back and looking at the ceiling like he’s searching for strength. “We would have done the same with it, but,” his head comes back down as he looks at me, “you shouldn’t have stolen from the DSMC. We’re not the bad guys. We work against those using the port to try and smuggle people out and ruin lives.”

I narrow my eyes and I grit out, “You’re working with the Volkov Bratva.”

“Fucking hell,” he mutters under his breath. “You have just enough information to be dangerous, but not enough to be effective when it comes to my club.”

“I’m good at what I do,” I insist, “and I do my research.”

He nods slowly, “You did, and you only found what I wanted you to find. The Volkov’s took power from the Morozov family, and those fuckers were bad news. We had been fighting against them for years, but the Volkov’s are on our side.”

The way he says ‘our side’ has warmth filling my chest in a way I don’t understand. I’m not sure I want to.

“What do you mean what you wanted me to find?”

Tucker smirks at me, “I’m not so bad in front of a computer either, Temptress. Sometimes you have to appear to be different than you are.” His blue eyes darken as he looks me over. “I’m sure you know something about that.”

Feeling out of my depth and more confused than I’ve ever been, I don’t know what to do or what to think. Tonight is not going how I thought it would at all.

Does this mean I don’t have to pack up and leave tomorrow?

CHAPTER 6

FRIAR

I know I should be pissed, and I have no idea how I’m going to explain the situation to my brothers, and not just the ones who came with me to Mistletoe Creek, other than to tell them the truth. I should probably be most concerned about how Spark is going to react, but it’s Clutch who worries me the most. Every theft has felt like a personal affront to him because of his position.

Once he meets Robyn and hears her story though? And finds out what she did with the money? I hope my brother will be able to find a way to let it go.

Because there’s no way I’ll be able to let go of my woman, which is exactly what Robyn is. I knew the moment I looked into her eyes after she spilled her coffee all down my front, even though I knew there had to be more to the story. Now, knowing she’s the one who was making my job so hard, I’ll give her my ring, my last name, and plant my babies deep inside of her and never look back.

Without a single regret.

It’s like she’s written on my soul in code only the two of us understand. I’m desperate to ask her questions about her skills and how she kept me on my toes for so long, but it’s getting more difficult to concentrate on anything other than the heat coming from her pussy the longer she’s perched on my lap.

“How do I know what you’re telling me is the truth?” There’s a hesitance in her voice that guts me.

“I’m more than willing to give you my laptop. You can look through my files and be able to backtrack everything I’ve altered about us. You’ll also be able to look through our accounts and see who we give money to,” my voice is casual even as she blinks at me like she can’t comprehend the words coming from my lips.

Her mouth opens and closes as her eyebrows furrow together in the most adorable way. “I don’t understand,” she sounds genuinely befuddled. “Why would you let me have that kind of access?”

“Because I want you to trust me, Robyn,” I admit earnestly. I can see the questions swimming in her brown eyes. “I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I’ve heard and seen this go down with my brothers, both in Seattle and New Orleans. I’m not saying we’re men who are always above reproach or who always follow the law, but we know what we want. We know the woman who is the other half of our soul when we meet them.”

Her voice is barely there, just a snowflake floating in its beauty, “The other half of your soul?”

“You.” I almost groan when she licks her lips and shifts nervously on my lap. “I knew it the moment you ran into me. I barely even realized I was covered in hot liquid because I was experiencing something so much more important when I met you.”

“That was only a few hours ago,” she snaps, an edge of hysteria filling her words. “There is no way.” She shakes her head rapidly like she’s trying to dislodge my words from her memory. “Nope. No way.”

I grip the hair at the base of her neck, finding it’s just as silky as I thought it would be, and slam my mouth down on hers. I don’t wait, plunging my tongue between her lips, tasting and exploring her because kissing her is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.

I’ve never been into kissing, but this feels like coming home and sitting in front of a cozy fire with a drink in your hand. It also makes me want more. Robyn melts against me and her fingers curl into my shirt. Her hips start to rock against my cock which is begging to be let out so I can sink balls deep into my woman and claim her.

“Tucker,” she moans against my lips, and I pull back from her, but not before pecking her lips again because I can’t get enough. I watch her half-lidded eyes focus on me, but the fog of lust and desire there makes me want to push her down onto the couch and make her scream my name. “You’ve lost your mind,” she murmurs dreamily.

I smirk. “Nope. There have been a few times in my life when I have been sure I was on the right path. When I joined the Devil’s Saints, when we started working to bring down trafficking rings, and right now with your hot little pussy teasing my cock and your lips swollen with my kisses.”

Her hand flies up to her mouth and she presses her fingers against them like it’ll make it less obvious that she’s been thoroughly ravaged by me. It won’t. Nothing will, she’s mine and I’m going to make sure she, and everyone else, knows it.

“We don’t know each other. I stole from your club,” she points out like either of those things will make a fucking difference.
