“Mackenzie.”
The gravelly rolling of my name has all three of us turning back towards the door and I see Dane standing there, looking, as usual, delectable.
I turn and sign to my sister and Cami—although I don’t think she can do British Sign Language yet. “I’ll catch you up.”
Sofia’s brow draws together and she eyeballs Dane before bringing her gaze back to me.
“If you’re more than ten minutes, I’m coming looking.”
My eyes roll. Sometimes, I think she forgets I’m the older sister.
I walk back to Dane, and glance over my shoulder, making sure we’re alone before I turn back to him, my eyes full of question.
“Are you okay?” he asks.
I nod, still frowning. Why did he stop me?
He runs a hand over his stubbled head. “This situation is fucked up, but I promise my club—me—I’ll take care of you and your family.”
I pull my phone out of my pocket and open the text-to-speak app. “We’re not your responsibility.”
His face contorts. “The fuck you’re not.”
Something swells inside me at his words.
“Look, I know you’re worried, but I swear to fuck, I won’t let anything touch you.”
And I believe him. I believe he won’t let anything touch me. The problem is can I keep my hands off him?
I’m not sure.
