“How did Royal react when my cousin went into labor?”

She leans closer to ask me. Damn, she smells good. Like sugar and candy.

Bringing my gaze to her face, I bite back a moan at how fucking beautiful she is. Pale skin, freckles across her nose and cheeks and captivating green eyes, from her Irish heritage, I learned years ago.

“You been working?” I look her up and down, seeing that the stains on her T-shirt look like little blots.

Licking her lips, her cheeks darken, and it makes me grin. Tucking a short piece of hair behind her ear, she finally brings her gaze up to meet mine.

“Yeah, I make my candies on Sundays. I also had to make a pink sugar ballet dancer silhouette,” she tells me.

“It is fucking crazy what you can do with sugar. Makes me think of what other wicked things you can do with your hands.” I wink at her.

Her face goes full-on red blushing, and it makes my cock hard.

She coughs trying to clear her throat and I chuckle, making her glare at me.

“What?”

“You can’t go around saying things like that to women, Jack.”

“I am not saying them to women, Lilith, I am saying them to you.”

“Jack,” she whispers my name, looking away.

Tucking my fingers under her chin, I make her look at me. There is no way she is hiding from what this thing is between us anymore. We have both run around in circles over what we both feel, but I know that I need to take shit slow with her.

Her ex did a number on her by cheating with her fucking cousin, and Lilith caught them fucking in her apartment.

For years I have kept women to a minimum, only getting off when the urge got to be too much. There was no way I was bringing different women into Dom’s life for them to leave. He may not know her, but I know he feels something about his mom not wanting him.

My mom and her big mouth.

Lilith is different, I knew that the second I saw her with Dom for the first time. It is like a switch went off inside of him and he looked and sounded lighter for having her in his life. When she comes to the club, Dom seeks her out, and fuck me that does shit to my heart.

“No, pressure but I want to know you better, babe. Don’t you think we have done enough running around each other?”

She gives me a barely there nod, but I see it.

“I don’t know.” Her gaze flicks across the room to my son, who is laughing, and pointing to a pouting Calder.

“Baby, Dom likes you. He knows I am into you,” I tell her. “But we will go slow, build something, but you need to know that I am not going anywhere, babe. And I am nothim.”

Her eyes flash with unease but also anger, and hell, it adds to her sexiness.

“Lilith.” Her name is called, and we look over to see her aunt waving her over.

She sighs. “I had better go and see what they want.”

“Yeah, baby. We will speak soon, yeah?” My hand lands on her knee, making her jump.

I smile at her, loving how she reacts to my touch.

“I, umm. Go.”

“Yeah.” I can’t help but chuckle at her again, making her brows dip before she leaps out of the chair and rushes to her family.

“You making your move, Son?” My father and president sits next to me, taking her now empty seat.
