Penance (The Chicago Defiance MC Book 2)
Page 27
Exhaling, I sit a little taller wondering how that went down. “Yes, I’m intrigued. Franky made you crash your truck to take you to Ishikawa… and then?”
She smiles. “I saw him right after I crashed. Then the panic hit. But he quickly reassured me he was sorry. That it wasn’t meant to happen that way. He quickly took me from my truck and placed me in his where he filled me in on everything…. told me the entire plan. That Enzo was going to double cross Ishikawa. That your father was going to help, too. I just had to come along for the ride, play my part until everything… fell into place.”
Reaching out I grab her good hand and lace my fingers with hers holding on probably tighter than I should. “You’re so brave.”
She snorts as she looks deep into my eyes. “No. You are. You went with him knowing it would be the only way to save your mother’s life. I’m in awe of you. I’m so fucking lucky to be your Old Lady.”
Leaning in, I can’t hold back any longer as I press my lips to hers. Not hard, I don’t want to cause her any pain, but not too damn soft either. I just need to taste her. To make sure she’s here, and we are both in this moment. Her tongue collides with mine while I run my free hand up and into her hair, the loose tendrils threading through my fingers as I hold her to me. That usual spark tingling inside of me making me feel all kinds of euphoria in the moment.
I have my woman.
I have my family.
I have my brothers.
Hell, I even have the Italian Mafiosos at my back if I need them.
And Aiko is dead.
My life is full.
I am perfectly… content.
Pulling back, l look into her eyes as her lips turn up into a smile.
“I will never get tired of kissing you.” She beams.
Chuckling, I lick my lips. “That’s a good thing because there’s a lot more kissing in our future, Sass.”
She leans into my side, and I wrap my arm around her. “You think now I’m your Old Lady we’re gonna have to do something about our living arrangements?”
A chuckle erupts from my chest. “That’s a given. The moment I claimed you, the back of my mind was making room for your clothing in my closet.”
She snorts, pulling back and shoves my chest. “You’re such a liar, Raiden! You were being held by the Yakuza at gunpoint, being told that they were taking you and your mother to Japan, and you were thinking about closet space?”
I chuckle and shrug. “You can’t blame a guy for forward-thinking, Sass.”
She rolls her eyes leaning close to me, her bubblegum-perfumed breath striking my senses as I smile at her. “Fuck it, I’m just gonna say it…” she pauses as she chews on her bottom lip, the look seductive and hot as fucking hell piques my interest. She exhales, her eyes looking into mine and something shifts. She looks more serious, more intent. “Raiden… after everything I’ve gone through, after everything we’ve gone through together, it’s shown me that with you by my side, I am even stronger and can overcome any fear, any obstacle… you’re my strength.”
I smile and lean in closer, our lips almost touching as electricity sizzles through the air at her remarkable words. No one has ever spoken of me like she is now.
“Getting to this point has been fucking rough, but you make it all worth it. Raiden… I know it’s quick, but… I love you.”
My chest tightens, and a sudden rush of excitement runs over me. No one besides my family has ever told me they love me before. Honestly, hearing it from Sass couldn’t be any more fucking perfect if I tried. Seeing her tied up and bleeding only cemented my feelings for her too. Claiming her today might have looked like a desperate move in an attempt to stop Aiko’s advances toward her, but Sass would have been claimed soon enough either way. Aiko just made me realize what I’ve been wanting.
Her.
She is my life.
She may be my opposite.
The Yang to my Yin, but she fits with me. Just. Fucking. Right.
My heart is hammering in my chest as my mouth turns up in the biggest of grins, her eyes sparkling as she assesses my mood. My nostrils flare as I try to contain my emotion.
This woman!
“Sass, you are everything. I’ve made it my mission to protect you for the rest of my life. Harm will never fall on you again. I swear this to you. I too…” I pause as my chest swells never having said this to a woman before, “… love you.”
She grins with a slight chuckle. “That was hard for you to say, wasn’t it?” She beams almost like she’s enjoying this moment.
I roll my shoulders. “Not hard, as the words are true. Just… a first.”
She leans in pressing her forehead to mine and sighs. “Thank you, for opening up to me. For letting me be the one you spend your life with.”
I press my lips to hers tenderly, a spark shooting all the way down my spine as I pull back and look into her eyes. “There was never an option. The moment I saw you, I was fucking done for.”
She nods. “Me, too, Raiden. Me, too.”
I lean in kissing her, and this time I don’t hold back. I know we’re in a clubroom full of my brothers, but I don’t care. Sass’s going to be living here now, and so they’re going to have to get used to our public displays of affection.
And right now?
Right now, I need to let her know I am never letting her go.
No matter what the cost.
SENSEI
An alert sounds through the compound—the alert of an incoming, unknown vehicle making us break apart.
“Shit,” I murmur as I look back to Sass, and she raises her brows.
“What is it?” she asks, and I shrug.
“Not sure. Go to my room and wait for me. There’s a gun in the top drawer of my bedside table. Don’t come out until I come and get you. Okay?”
A look of apprehension crosses her face, but she doesn’t hesitate as she nods, then leans in and kisses me hard. It makes my cock ache as she pulls back then stands up walking off to my room without argument.
She’s going to make one hell of an Old Lady.
I stand and step over to Trax as we meet up with Torque and Ace and head for the compound gate to see who the hell is paying us an unexpected visit.
Gatekeeper looks down to us. “It’s some chick with Crest from the Notorious Knights MC,” he calls out.
I look to Torque who shrugs as he gives the signal to open the gate.
Gatekeeper pulls the chain, and slowly the gate opens revealing a bike with Crest on board and a car behind him.
Crest slides off his ride, and a woman steps out of her car. She’s beautiful, a curvy figure with wavy blonde hair. I feel like I’ve seen her before, but I just can’t place where. I can see the car is full of packed luggage, but it’s Trax’s reaction which makes me turn and look. He gasps, letting out a kind of gurgled moan as he stumbles slightly gripping onto my shoulder to stabilize himself. I furrow my brows as she weakly smiles and takes a deep, steadying breath while she looks at him and subtly waves.
“Hey, Trax,” her soothing voice is silky smooth, and Trax seems to melt when he hears her.
He shakes his head as he breathes rapidly like he’s seeing a ghost or something, and he takes a small step forward almost like he’s unsure of himself.
I’ve never seen him like this around a woman.
His face screws up, and he lets out a long huff.
“Mylee?”
