“Would you want that?” I ask.

“What?”

“Would you want me to bring another woman into our relationship, because I have to tell you, Liam, I don’t think I could handle that at all. I don’t want another woman anywhere near you. Ever.”

I watch as his lips slowly stretch out into a sexy smile and if I wasn’t terrified of the fact that he could possibly want another woman in our bed, I’d definitely enjoy that smile and try to keep it on his face.

“Fuck, no, Ice. You’re the only woman I want. I haven’t wanted anyone else since the day I first saw you,” he says softly, his hand coming to my neck, as his thumb brushes against my pulse. His gray eyes go dark and intense and my entire body tingles. Heck, I think even my toes curl.

“I don’t think I want another man in our relationship either, Liam. It’s a good fantasy, but the reality of it doesn’t really appeal to me,” I confess. “You were my first and I’m praying this works out so that you’ll be the last.”

“Ellie,” he hisses, leaning down to take my mouth. This kiss is different than the others we’ve shared since he came back into my life. This kiss is sweet and slow, thoughtful, and reminds me of the kiss he gave me on our wedding day.

Full of love.

When we break apart, he settles me back against him, reaches over and turns out the light. We lie there in the darkness for a bit and I go over everything we just talked about.

“We could finish what we started earlier, if you wanted,” I offer him, knowing he has to have a case of blue balls. I hate that we got interrupted.

“Your head is full of worry over your sister, Ice. I think I could pull you out of that, but I’d rather our first time back with each other was because we’re both where we need to be emotionally and mentally.”

“Whatever happened to Latch?”

“He went back into service for a while. It hurt him to be in love with Annie, but only be able to see her when they asked him.”

“Are they still together?”

“Last I heard, yeah, but Annie’s pregnant with her second child. I’m not sure Latch is dealing with that all that well. Maybe they’ve sorted it out by now, I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him in a couple of months. I just know my man was seriously nursing a broken heart, even still being in their lives.”

“That’s sad,” I whisper, feeling my heart hurt for Latch.

“That’s why rules for bringing another person into a committed relationship need to be stated. It’s most definitely why, a couple needs to be solid to even entertain the idea.”

“Do you think it can work?”

“Yeah, I think so.”

“But, you don’t think it will work for Dawn,” I murmur, my voice laced with sadness. I had hoped this was a turning point for my sister. I don’t want to say she’s been selfish in her life, but she’s definitely the type of person to put herself first. Sometimes that’s not bad, but all the time?

“No, Ice, I don’t. This isn’t something that both of them want. This is something she’s doing to try and save her relationship.”

“Which is also probably the quickest way to lose it, because Dawn will hate everything about it.”

“She’ll be okay, Ice.”

“I’m not so sure,” I murmur.

“I am.”

“How?” I ask, hoping he can convince me.

“Because she has you and you will be there to pick up the pieces.”

“You have a lot of faith in me, Liam,” I mutter with a sad, exhausted sigh.

“All the faith in the world, Ellie. All the faith in the world.”

He kisses the top of my head and I close my eyes feeling secure and loved. Liam and I have a lot to work out, but right now I feel nothing but hope and happiness when it comes to the two of us.

I pray that Dawn gets that feeling one day. I really want that for her.FuryOne Week Later* * *“Hey, Ice.”

“You don’t look like you’ve had a good day, honey.”

I slide onto the barstool, thinking her words might be the understatement of the century. She hands me a cold beer. It doesn’t escape my attention that it’s the brand I always drink. She remembers. Since having her back in my life, everything has just clicked into place. Does she realize that? Does she feel the same emotions that I feel?

“You can say that again,” I mutter, twisting off the top, taking a deep pull.

“No sign of Wolf?”

“Not one. He could already be headed to Chicago,” I mutter, frustrated because I was hoping to catch this motherfucker and finally giving Devil and Torrent some good news.

“But, if he didn’t get the information from the church, he wouldn’t know to do that, right?”
