I am doing this for her not only for me. I need her safe, and I need her close. If I am on the right track, this ex of hers will do worse than he already has, because he will not like losing, even though he married someone else.

“Okay, but the second something puts Dominic in danger, I am leaving. I will go somewhere he won’t find me until he gets bored.” Her voice sounds so broken, and it fucking guts me.

“Nothing will happen.” I kiss her again and tap her thigh. “Go pack some things for a week or so.”

With a nod she climbs off my lap and leaves, scurrying down the short hallway to her bedroom.

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, sinking into the seat more, running my hands over my head, before gripping the back of my neck.

“You are doing the right thing, Son. This fucker will escalate, we have seen it before. He will hate that he lost.”

“If he had kept his cock in his pocket he wouldn’t have lost her, would he?” Rookie snaps.

“But then our boy wouldn’t have her, would he? She will be protected, Jack,” Edge confirms. I nod to the men I see as my uncles.

“I will post a prospect with her at the shop, he goes wherever she does,” Sarge says. “She will be well guarded, brother.”

“We can pay a visit to her through the day, there is plenty of us, Jack,” Travis adds, and I see the guys nod to me.

“Thanks.”

“How do you think Dom will react to her staying with you?” Slade asks from his place in the kitchen.

He is chowing down on a banana; that man never stops eating.

I laugh. “He fucking loves her, man. Lil brings him new candies to try, and she offered to show him how to make some one day.”

I love how they are when she is around. Lilith listens to every word he says, she doesn’t get bored like most women do when listening to a kid that is not theirs. It proves to me that she adores my son, and I fucking love that. No woman would be welcomed into my life if they did not want to take on Dom also.

We are a package deal, and Lilith knows that.

When she comes back into the room, she is pulling a suitcase behind her with an overnight bag hooked over her shoulder. Irush to take them from her, then Royal is there taking them from me.

“Prospect has the truck; we will meet you at your place.” I nod and the men follow him out, leaving me alone with my girl for a moment.

Cupping her face, I make sure she is looking at me before I speak.

“I will not let anything happen to you, okay? You are safe with me.” I kiss her lips gently, before walking her to my bike.

Once she has my helmet on her head, I take off, loving the feel of her body wrapped around mine, clinging to me like I am her lifeline.

This is not how I wanted her on my bike for the first time, so I need to make sure that we have a more pleasurable time on the next ride.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

LILITH

Pop music plays through the wireless speaker that Jack has in the kitchen. I have been here for three days now and it is sweet, sweet torture.

The man is a walking sex god, a magazine model with how he walks around the house in just a pair of light gray sweats and no shirt.

I get to see him in all his glory on a daily basis now, and my mouth waters every time. His bronze skin from working outdoors, and the defined muscles that he carries. Clearly he works out, but I also think that some of it comes from working hard. Add his tattoos and that sexy thin trail of hair that goes from his navel down into the waistband of his sweats, both make me want to drop to my knees and explore whenever I catch sight of them.

I stir the batter in the bowl, ready to make some cupcakes for Dom and his friends. He is going to a birthday party later today and he asked me to make him some apple cupcakes— he really likes those.

My stomach and heart are still not happy that my presence here has the potential of putting Dominic in danger, but for the past three days, Christopher has been silent. Jack seems to think it is because he caught the kids and they reported back to him, but I think he is biding his time to strike again.

On my first night here, I begged Jack to let me stay at a hotel, but he put his foot down and told me that I was his so I was to stay here, where he could protect me.
