“Let me go do the same. Drake, watch the front. I’ll go grab your bags out of the car. I don’t trust that piece of shit as far as I can spit.” His voice is full of anger, not that I can blame him.
“He’s pissed. Easton can’t make it. Cam’s pregnant. He’s happy for them, but Bridger wanted his eyes, and this puts a kink in things. Slade and I will be over probably, as well as Travis, sometime this afternoon to work on his security system, then we’ll use the company for your place.”
“Have Slade bring Taylor and Travis bring Raelynn. I’m going to have him grill, and us girls can make the sides. He’ll be calmed down by the time you all head over,” I tell him, knowing just what I’m going to do when we get to Bridger’s place.
“If you say so.” He shrugs and literally watches me until Bridger is back up front.
“Ready?” he asks.
“Yeah, Legend is going to be so excited. Plus, your place has more grass than mine. He won’t wander too far off, will he?”
“Nah, it’s all fenced in. He can go off and come in when he’s ready. He’ll be happy and safe, I promise.” Bridger wraps his hand around my waist, waving goodbye to Drake, and ushers me out to his vehicle. I swear Nighthawk Security must be code for oversized SUV with its black color, black rims, and black window tint. If they wanted to blend in, they missed their mark.
“Just how are you going to calm me down, sunshine?” Bridger asks once we’re both ensconced in the vehicle.
“Oh, you’ll just have to wait and see. I have a whole bag of tricks up my sleeve.” Really, I have no idea, but I’m thinking me bare and naked in his bed will do the trick. This time, I’ll be the one on top. He just doesn’t know it yet.
“I’m sure you do.” Bridger has one hand on the steering wheel. His arm is flexed, showing off his firm muscles even if he really isn’t putting on a show, but seeing how at ease he is behind the wheel is yet another turn-on. I’m thinking I’ll need to walk around with a fan for between my legs with how much heat he pours off his body.
I fan my face all the while it only causes Bridger to smile, which only intensifies the need I have for him. “It’s going to be a long car ride home,” I whisper to myself. Knowing my luck, he heard me. So, I sit back in my seat and think about something else until we get to my place.

Bridger
We scooped up Legend on our way to my place. He made himself at home in the back of my Tahoe. I was worried he’d pace back and forth in the back, but he shocked me by lying down right away.
“I forgot how beautiful your place was. It’s been awhile since I’ve been out here,” Kellie says. I saw the desire written on her face earlier, and it only made me want her more.
“Thanks, there’ve been a few changes since you’ve been here last. The kitchen is finally upgraded, and the bathrooms are done too. I think next year, I’ll add a hot tub to the in-ground pool. Did you bring your bathing suit?” I ask Kellie, already thinking about her in the backyard floating around in the water in nothing but a bikini. Not having a lot of neighbors could work to my advantage. If the cards are stacked in my favor, I could probably have her naked, which causes a whole other slew of ideas playing on repeat in my mind.
“I can’t wait to see. Of course I brought my bathing suit. There’s no way I’m not enjoying the pool in some way, shape, or form. I figure since Easton isn’t heading here, we’ll be staying at your place more than mine. So, while you scooped up Legend, I packed enough for a couple of weeks.” This is not the woman who was scared and out of her mind Friday when she got the paperwork stating Liam was released early. If anything, she’s regrouped and has come back stronger than ever. I’d like to think I had something to do with that, even though I know I sure as hell didn’t.
“Good, I’d rather not have you going back and forth by yourself. I know we talked about you taking your own vehicle, but after today, you’re sticking to me like glue.”
“It’s a good thing I don’t mind that, then.” Her voice is dripping with desire, and I know exactly what she has up her sleeve.
I park the vehicle in the oversized garage that allows more than just one vehicle even though it claimed to be a two-car garage when I bought the home. It was all part of the update before I even moved in. Slade, Drake, Easton, and I all had our share of sleeping on the couches at Nighthawk when we first got started. It wasn’t a hardship while the house was being renovated too.
