Drake scoffs. “I doubt they’ll get much. These guys operate off the grid—burner phones, internet cafes, hidden networks, the dark web, mostly. It’ll take a lot more to tap into their comms, I’m telling you.”
“Wait, who’s Dale?” I ask.
They tell me about the FBI agent, and about the FBI’s offer to grant the Blackthorn Riders complete immunity in exchange for their cooperation, intel, and resources. Given my men’s Navy SEAL experience on top of everything else, the Bureau considers them significant assets they can use against Colton Harrow and the Black Devils, which is why they were able to reach a deal. And from what they’re telling me, it sounds like a damn good deal.
“I would expect you’d be more pleased about it,” I say, noticing their underlying discontent.
“We broke the bikers’ creed,” Orion explains. “The other clubs have shunned us. We’re not getting any support. If anything, there’s a chance they’ll work with Colton against us. It will make the whole operation twice as hard.”
“Why are they being so difficult?” I ask, trying to wrap my head around it.
“Not difficult, just proud,” Kai replies. “Honestly, had we not had these huge crosshairs on our backs, we probably would’ve done the same. There are lines we do not cross as men, as riders. It’s deeply ingrained in our moral code from a young age, so I understand their hesitation. On top of that, there’s also the risk of being on the receiving end of Colton’s wrath if they’re caught associating with us, particularly now that the word is out that we gave intel to the Feds.”
“They don’t know we’re working directly with them, mind you,” Orion adds. “But it’s enough to drive the other clubs away from us. It means less manpower for what we’re going to do next.”
“What are you going to do next?”
The guys exchange nervous glances before their eyes land back on me. “End this war by any means necessary,” Orion says. “It might not end well, and we need you to understand that, Nadia.”
I can’t help but sigh heavily. “I get it. I may not like it, but I get it.”
“I love you,” Orion replies, catching me off guard.
I’m paralyzed, staring at him with wide eyes as he leans in for a kiss. His lips feel so soft on mine, his emotions seeping through every pore and melting into me. “Orry …” I whisper.
“We all love you,” Drake says.
“And we can’t go to war with Colton without you knowing that,” Kai adds. “We never planned for any of this, neither did you, for that matter, but here we are, right?”
A knot unravels in the back of my throat as the words roll off my tongue. “I love you, too, all of you.”
“The deck is stacked against us for the time being,” Orion says after a long, solemn pause. “I wish we could’ve told you how we feel under different circumstances, but the truth is, every moment that we get to spend together is a fucking gift from the heavens, Nadia, and we intend to make the most of it. Once we part ways, however …”
“I need to go back home and stay there, I know.”
“You also need to be patient and accept the possibility that we might not survive,” Kai says.
“Don’t,” I shake the thoughts away. “Don’t go there.”
“We have to, Nadia, for your sake and ours,” Drake insists, moving closer to me on the couch. “There’s a chance we’ll die, and you need to move on with your life if that happens, okay? You need to promise us that you’ll move on, that you’ll heal and find happiness again.”
I think about it for a moment and decide to keep my temper in check. I’ve already had one huge fight with my father. The last thing I need is an argument with the three men I love most in the world. It’s bad enough that we’re having to declare our feelings for one another while hiding in this beach house in the middle of nowhere, although it is quite lovely.
I’m pregnant with twins, and I can’t even tell them about it because it might throw them off their game and put them in worse danger. They need clear heads for what’s coming next. But I know I can make tonight better for the four of us, so I get up and remove my dress, standing gloriously naked before them.
“Tell you what, I’ll keep my distance. I’ll keep my cool and mind my business, but only if you promise you’ll all come back to me in one piece,” I calmly say.
“Nadia …” Orion’s gaze darkens as it wanders down my body. His attention makes my nipples tingle and harden, liquid heat pooling between my legs.
“No, I’m serious. Promise me you’ll come back to me, and I won’t flip out. I’ll be a good girl.”
“Okay, we promise,” Kai grunts, shifting in his seat. His jeans are getting tighter, and my pussy is getting wetter at the sight of that monstrous erection struggling against the denim fabric.
“Good. Now, will you please make love to me until I can’t stand anymore?”
Orion is the first to get up and take me in his arms. His mouth damn near crushes mine in a conquering, furious kiss. “We give the orders, baby; you obey,” he growls and trails his tongue down the side of my throat.
“Yes, sir,” I giggle, then moan when he grabs my tender breast and squeezes it, fingers pinching the nipple tighter and tighter. “Oh, fuck …”
