He paused and smirked, looking back at his boss.“I can control my cousin.”
Blaise nodded once, then turned back to the room.“Kye, give them a ride home.”
The tattooed blond guy stepped forward and saluted Blaise.“On it,” he said with a cocky grin.
Wilder placed his hand on my lower back.“Let’s go,” he told me.
I started to follow the man named Kye.
“You did good in there,” Blaise said as I passed him.
I paused and glanced at him.He tilted the front of his hat at me like a cowboy, not a Mafia boss.
“Uh, thanks,” I replied in a shaky voice.
“I’d remind you of the importance of keeping her close, but from your current body language, I can see that’s unnecessary.You’ll be hearing from me soon, Jones.”
Wilder nodded his head and nudged me to start walking.Every step I took away from the room where Maxon was bound, the more relief I felt.It wasn’t until we climbed into the back of the SUV that I curled into Wilder’s side and cried.
Thirty-One

Oakley stopped crying by the time we reached my gated subdivision, but she was still clinging to me as if her life depended on it.
While I held her, I imagined murdering the bastard who had caused this with my own two hands in many different ways.I wanted to go back and slice the fucker’s throat open, then watch him bleed to death.It would be quick, but I didn’t need him to suffer.Just die.
She had gone in there and pulled it off, not breaking down once.Not giving herself away.Whatever Blaise had heard over the speaker he had in there, he’d been impressed with her.I’d seen it in his eyes.
Asking her about it wasn’t going to happen though.I’d find out from Levi.She needed to forget this and get that damn happy smile back on her face.The one that I craved and realized I needed more than I should.
When Kye parked the SUV in my driveway, the front door swung open, and Sarah came running out onto the porch with Belladonna at her side.Oakley instantly sat up and reached for the door.
“My son just started walking.He comes toddling to the door when I get home now.I hope he’s that excited to see me when he’s older,” Kye said from the front seat.
Oakley pushed open the door, but paused and looked up at Kye in surprise.“You have a little boy?”
He chuckled.“Yeah.He turns a year old in a few weeks.Hard to believe.”
Kye didn’t look like themarried with a kidtype.Oakley’s expression was funny when she realized he was a dad.
“If I don’t see you again, happy birthday to your little one,” she told him.
He grinned.“Thanks.”
Sarah was waving happily, and Oakley jumped down and ran to her.Damn, that made my heart get fucking tight.
“Finding a woman you love and who loves your kid like her own is special.Don’t lose it.In fact, make that shit permanent.I did.”Kye held up his left hand.There was a tattoo on his ring finger.
“What does it say?”I asked, not sure I was reading it correctly.It was written in script, and from what I could see, it saidBaby.
“Baby Doll,” he said, then smirked.“Her name is Genesis, but I call her Baby Doll.Have since we were kids.”
I nodded.Okay.I didn’t think tattooing Oakley’s name on my finger was what she’d want, but I got his point.Besides, if she wanted me to ink her onto my skin, I already knew where that would go.
“Daddy!”Sarah called out.
I gave Kye a nod, then climbed out and headed toward the two females in my life who had ever had a hold on me.The one who had owned my heart once and the one who had healed it.
