His eyes dropped to the ground as he shook his head. “There’s only one way to get my family back.”

“I know. Trust me, I fucking know. So, let’s end this.”

His eyes flared to life for the first time since he took that shot and killed his brother.

“Just you and me, brother. To the end.”

He held out his hand and I took it, clasping it in mine. “To the end.”

SLIDER

Panting hard, I rolled off the woman below me and grinned as I stared up at the ceiling. Fuck, she was crazy as hell in bed and drove me fucking insane. My heart was racing a mile a minute, and it would take more than a short break to recover from what she just put me through.

Vira got up, sashaying over to the chair where her robe was draped, pulling it over her gorgeous body. I rolled to my side and watched how the silk slid over her skin, highlighting her curves. Fucking hell, that woman knew how to jerk a man around.

“Tomorrow?” I asked, already knowing the answer before I asked.

She glanced at me over her shoulder, her hair falling in her face before she tucked it behind her ear. “We’ll see.”

I chuckled, tossing the covers off as I stood and grabbed my pants from where they were thrown on the ground. “Which means no.” I jerked them up over my hips and let them rest there without buttoning them while I went in search of my shirt.

Her eyes skimmed over my body, taking in every inch of muscle. I could still feel her fingers tracing over my abs as she rode me hard, taking my cock unlike any woman before her. Shewas a seductress, always in the mood for a good time, but would never stick around for more.

“So, how’s it going, living with Isabelle?”

“Not bad.” She slipped her feet into some fuzzy slippers and pulled her hair back in a clip. “She’s definitely got some issues, but don’t we all?”

I strode over to her, pulling her into my arms. She might not want a relationship or even a regular fuck, but she did let me hold her and kiss her whenever I wanted. “It was nice of you to offer to live with her.”

“Well, what else was I supposed to do? I couldn’t live in that massive house with the last of the stragglers forever.”

“No, but you don’t know her.”

“I recognize a fellow lost soul when I see one,” she smiled. “She didn’t want to be on her own yet, and I needed the company, whether I wanted to admit it or not.”

I hummed as I dipped my lips to her neck and ran my tongue along her throat, earning me a moan of approval. I slid my hands down to her ass, cupping those gorgeous cheeks in my palms. Damn, it was just too much sometimes, to know that we were so compatible in the bedroom, but didn’t really have anything else in common. That was okay, though. We gave each other what we needed at the moment, which was a release.

“You should get going,” she groaned. “You have that meeting.”

“Shit,” I muttered, pulling myself from her arms, though I desperately wanted to stay now that my cock was hard again. I let out a frustrated sigh as I stepped back and stared at her pebbled nipples through her robe. “Fuck, you should not walk around in that if you want me to leave.”

A gorgeous smile lit her face as she slowly undid the tie and let the robe fall open, giving me the most spectacular view. Myeyes trailed over her breasts and down to the juncture between her thighs.

“Just a memory for the road,” she whispered before closing her robe.

“That’s just mean.”

“It could be worse.”

“In what way?” I asked.

She walked up to me, cupping my dick in her hands. “I could refuse to get you off before you leave,” she whispered.

I dropped my pants and groaned as she gripped my dick again, working me harder and faster. My fingers found her pussy instantly, sliding through her folds. Fuck, if only I could find a woman who wanted me longterm that I had this kind of chemistry with.

Before I knew it, I was shouting out my release and coming apart in her hands as she did the same. I had less than two minutes to clean up and run out of the house, and that was pushing it. With a wave goodbye, I backed out of her driveway, catching the smirk she tossed me as I drove away.
