“Babe, when are you gonna realize what is mine is yours. This house. My money. Fuck, when it comes down to it, you own half my bike too.” He kissed my forehead. “Now you gonna be a good girl and spend some money?”

I pursed my lips at him. He might see it that way, but that’s easy to say when you are the one doing all the giving. All I had to give was myself. And when it came down to it, he completely owned that.

“Fine.” I swiped the card from his hand. “I’ll spend your money like there is no tomorrow.”

“Good. The pin is 0312.”

“Funny number.”

“It’s the date I met you.”

I stared at him blankly. This was coming from a man that says he was not romantic whatsoever.

“That’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard,” I mumbled.

He shook his head, waving it off like it wasn’t a big deal. “Come on, Abby, it’s just a number. One you have to remember if you want to burn through my cash. Now I really got to go.”

I pouted. “Do you have to?”

He reached out, wrapping his arm around me and lifting me off the ground while planting kisses down my cheek and neck. Which tickled. Laughing, I slapped his back playfully.

“Ok, ok, put me down.”

“Wrap your legs around me.”

Like always, he was direct. So I did as I was told and wrapped my legs around him. He held me up with one hand on my butt. I put my arms around his neck, and he pulled the garage door closed with his free hand.

I leaned my forehead against him and in this moment, I felt so close to him. It was like we were in our own bubble and here I was safe, loved, and protected.

“Don’t go,” I pleaded for the last time. My voice was just above a whisper and my lips hovered close to his.

“I have to.” His breath swirled across my face, so hot and minty, and it made me cling to him tighter. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Promise me you will be safe. Ride safe. Fight safe.” I knew my Reaper, and I knew trouble seemed to find him, though he would think the same about me.

“I promise.” He gently pushed me up against a wall in the foyer. “I’ll be back before you know it.”

“I can’t protect you when you’re interstate.”

“And I’m the one who needs protecting?” He arched both eyebrows at me, amused.

“Yes.” I quickly pushed my lips against his and just before I was about to pull back, his fingers ran through the back of my hair, keeping my head in place. His tongue pushed forward and I moaned, letting him in and like always, he deepened the kiss, controlling it.

I was breathless when he pulled out. Panting, I leaned my forehead against his.

“As always, you leave me breathless, Kade.”

“If only you knew what you did to me, Miss Harrison.” He tugged with his thumb at my bottom lip, pulling it free from me biting it.

“Love you, Reaper.”

“Yeah babe, I love you too.” He kissed me on the cheek, and I slid down his body till my feet hit the ground.

“Ride safe and look after your boys.” I let go of him and crossed my arms, watching him shrug his leather vest on. My eyes hovered over the logo. It brought so much for danger and threats in our life.

“Will do. You put some miles on that car of yours.”

I faked a large smile and nodded my head. “Of course.”
