“Good.” I grinned and leaned forward. “Cause I sort of like kissing you.” I curved into his muscular body.

“Fuck woman, you trying to kill me? Cause you’re doing everything to stop me from letting you out of this bed.”

I laughed, and it sounded so unfamiliar hearing it. “You never change, Kade.”

His grip on my hip tightened. “Not when it comes to you.”

“Seriously, you don’t have to take me to the hospital today. I can get Brad to take me or Drake.”

“Wanna explain what’s going on with you and Gitz?”

I cringed slightly, hearing Kade refer to Brad as Gitz. “Nothing.”

His thumb gently rubbed my cheek. “Ain’t nothing, sweetheart. He’s fallen hard for ya.”

“No, he isn’t.” I scoffed, finding it slightly amusing. “Seriously Kade, you’re worrying over nothing. Next thing you will be telling me Drake has come back because he is in love with me.”

“Nah, he knows fucking better. But that doctor sure as fuck doesn’t.”

I couldn’t suppress my grin. “You jealous, Kade?”

“You’re mine.” It was the rough growl that rumbled through his body as he said it that caused my body to freeze in chills.

My fingers ran down his chest, and I leaned my forehead against his. “And you’re mine.” It was the first time I had said it out loud.

“Yeah darling, I am.” His hand slipped underneath my tee. “Fucking wishing you didn’t have to get up right now.”

I smirked; I had him just where I wanted him.

Pity I had to get up.

“Oh fuck, I forgot to tell you.” My hand froze on his chest. “I called the Shields. They are on their way down.”

His eyebrows shot up. “And you’re just telling me that now.”

“I forgot.”

“Well, now we have to get up. Got to deal with fucking Jackson Johnston today.”

“They aren’t that bad.”

“Amber’s a bitch.”

“Kade.” I slapped his chest, “Don’t call my half sister that.”

“What? Are you saying that you aren’t slightly scared of her? She’s only five foot something, and I’ve seen men buckle at the knees under her intense glare.”

“Well, she’s coming.” I finished the conversation. “So we better get up.”

“Yeah, darling, we better.” He brushed the hair from the side of my face and pushed it behind my ears.

He was acting so sweet and caring. It made my heart crumble. If only others got to see this side of him. But then he wouldn’t be just mine.

Abby

The Shields arrived that day, and they stayed for a solid week. During that time, Jackson and Troy helped Reaper deal with ‘club business.’ Amber, however, didn’t leave the hospital. Dad woke up four days into the week.
