“Mmm…love you more.” And she was passed back out.

Not possible, Reaper thought letting his eyes drift closed again.

Not fucking possible.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

“Now Lawless was in his inner secret circle…but they didn’t have a handshake.” - Reaper

Moving day!

For a quiet guy, Reaper really did move mountains when he wanted something, and he wanted Paige in his bed every night. In their bed every night.

It was just over a week ago when he’d asked her to move in with him and now it was moving day, with a truck on the way, and some of his guy friends to help lug boxes.

He’d settled her lease contract with her landlord and within one night of pizza and beers he’d helped pack up Paige’s life.

It was unreal, exciting, terrifying and she didn’t have a single doubt in her mind.

This was the right thing for her.

She’d thought near-perfect relationships didn’t exist. She could only remember her high school boyfriend and that didn’t really count as far as adult relationships went.

Not the kind she’d craved for so long now.

But it was looking as if Reaper was everything she needed in life.

There was something about the biker that made her feel … everything.

Safe and happy.

Wanted and cared for.

She felt young inside when she was with him, but not childlike. Just carefree, like she’d found her spot in the world and it was in his arms being rocked to sleep.

For the first time in a long time she felt whole and was no longer concerned about her lost years because she had something better now. She had a lot of days ahead of her with the man of her dreams.

Standing in the middle of the messy floor, surrounded in boxes and organized chaos she felt arms coming around her from behind. The body followed, pressing to her spine and Reaper rested his chin on the top of her head.

“Second thoughts?”

“Not a one. Just remembering the day I moved in and how scared I was to be alone and not remember any of my adult life, wondering why mom and dad never visited me in hospital, not even my brother. I wondered what had happened to make me run away. I feared I couldn’t cope on my own so far away from TN.”

“Are you sad about your family?” His two hands rubbed circles on her belly and Paige had a flash of déjà vu of hands doing just that long ago.

It was gone almost instantly. She hated when her mind played tricks on her that way. Either remember something or don’t. Don’t snatch it away like that.

She curled back into Reaper’s strong frame.

“Not now, I have all I need right here.”

Her family were not the kind of people you missed or yearned to see again anyway. She felt guilty at times for not staying in touch. Her dad was in pretty heavy with the local gangs when she was a teen, anything could have happened to him by now.

When she thought about it, her family had never done right by anyone, ever. Maybe one day when she had her own kids she might feel different about reconnecting with them. But here in the present she was about to start her happily ever after with the man of her dreams.

The kind of man who would do anything for those he cared for.

She bounced around and went up on her toes to kiss him.
