Rogue (Dead Man's Ink, #2)(58)
I can’t f*cking breathe. I can’t…
I grab hold of her and pull her to me, wrapping my arms around her and holding her so tight to me that she probably can’t breathe either. She presses her face into my chest, clinging onto me, and we just stand there, not letting go. Not saying anything. Not moving.
This woman has turned me f*cking inside out. I reach down and lift her up, my hands underneath her thighs, and she wraps her legs around my waist without question. I just hold her there.
“You want this? You really want this, knowing what it involves?”
She pulls back, her eyes slightly red and puffy. There’s real grit there, too, though. So much fire. She swallows, and then says eight words that will change things for us both forever. “I want you. And I’m not going anywhere.”
This is pure f*cking madness, but I can’t help grinning. One of us will end up dead soon enough, but in the meantime I’m sure things are about to get really f*cking interesting. “You realize you’re going to need to learn how to ride a motorcycle now, right?” The thought of her in charge of a bike is instantly hot. Her intensity breaks as a small smile spreads over her face.
“Seriously? That would be kind of badass.”
“Oh my god,” I groan. “You’re gonna be the death of me, woman.”
“Huh. And here was me thinking I would try and keep you out of trouble instead,” she says softly, biting her lip.
It occurs to me how f*cked up this is—the fact that we’ve just disposed of a body in the desert in the middle of the night, and I’m swiftly developing a hard on. I laugh like a maniac because I can’t help myself. “All right, then. Sophia Romera, consider yourself the newest prospect of the Widow Makers Motorcycle Club.”
