Charming Asshole (Killer of Kings 3)

Killian pulled back and turned to the other man. “Boss gave me an address. We need to end this shit storm before it gets out of hand.”

Chapter Seven

The last thing Killian wanted to do was to leave June. She looked petrified, and he was pissed off. The Dead Angels MC had fed the lies to Shadow, hoping to get Killian back in town. Whoever wanted this hit was smart, smart enough to fool Shadow, one of the best. The Dead Angels MC had just underestimated Killian. They’d gotten him back to town, but he was untouchable, keeping under their radar.

“The address can wait, Killian. It’s been a long day, and I’d say with how scared she is, you need to go home, and handle shit there first.”

“This has to be taken care of.”

“Agreed, and I’m not fighting that, but the point of being good at what you do, you take care of your distractions first.” Shadow nodded at June. “She’s your biggest distraction, and right now, I’m not interested in fighting anyone with your head not fully in the game. I’m not looking forward to being killed anytime soon.”

Killian wanted to argue but knew he couldn’t. His head wasn’t in a good place, and it wouldn’t be while he was worrying about June.

“You’ve got a couple of days. Don’t worry about Boss,” Shadow said.

“I’m not worried about him.” He rubbed at his temples, and didn’t see a way around it. “I’ll call you soon.”

Taking June’s hand, he made his way back out to his car.

“What’s going on, Killian?” June asked.

“I need to stop this hit on your and our son’s head. The only way to do that is to go to the source, and to take them out.”

“Kill them?”

“It’s the only thing I can do.” Ten years ago, he had taken out the leader of the MC, and allowed the old lady and son to live. That had been a mistake, and one he was regretting. “I don’t want you to worry about it right now.” He took hold of her hand, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. “I also don’t want you ever asking that cop for help again. You don’t need to rely on anyone but me.”

“I was worried about you.”

“I know, baby. I know, but I can take care of myself. I’ve been doing this for years, and I know how to keep myself safe so I need you to do as I ask, and to stay strong.” He pulled into the underground garage of his condo, and they made their way up in the elevator. They had privacy now, and he knew he could breathe easily with her safe in his life.

“I was so scared, Killian. You’ve come back into my life, and it scares me that you’re going to leave again. I … I don’t want that for our son.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” He pressed a kiss to her lips. So soft and sweet. “I can promise you that.”

“Your promises come really quickly.”

“That’s because I mean them, every single one of them.” He stroked her cheek, and regret filled him. “You have no idea how much I’ve thought about you the last ten years. You’ve never not been in my heart, June. God, I wish I could take everything away, and make it all better for you. I fucked up big time.”

“Come on. Let’s go inside, and I’ll make us something to eat. I’m starving.” She patted his hand, and he nodded, following her inside his condo.

She still wore the same clothes from a day ago, but that didn’t take away from her beauty, from how amazing he thought she was. He watched her for several seconds as she looked into his fridge, and he just couldn’t go another second without touching her. Moving up behind her, he wrapped one arm around her while pressing a kiss to her neck. She sighed, and melted against him.

“I don’t want to lose you again. I know we keep going over this, and I should probably kick you to the curb, but I can’t go through that again. I won’t.” She spun in his arms, and her hands gripped his shirt. He saw the fear in her eyes and hated being the one that put it in there.

“We’re not going to go back. I’m not going to leave. All I have to do is make the world safe for you, and for our son, and we can move on.”

“You make it sound so simple.” She stared at his chest where her hands lay.

“It is that simple. In my world, there is no way else to look at it. I’m going to fight for you, and for us.”

Her gaze returned to him and immediately went to his lips. She licked her own, and his cock thickened. He moved his hand up into her hair, holding her head. “I’ve got to have one taste of you, June. I can’t … I need you.” He slammed his lips down on hers, and she didn’t fight him.

She kissed him back with a passion that surprised him, but he wasn’t going to question it. Sliding his tongue into her open mouth, he pressed her back to the now closed fridge. Her fingers clung to his shoulders, and he took hold of them, pressing them above her head with one of his hands. He ran his free hand down her body, cupping her tit, feeling the hard, puckered nipple against his palm. This was by far better than any of his fantasies. She was perfect, and felt so damn right in his arms.

Breaking from the kiss, he sucked on her neck, loving the sound of her little gasps.

“Please, Killian, I want you.”
