Slate grunted his agreement, his dark brows dipped into a scowl. “I can’t decide if they’re corrupt or incompetent.”
“A little bit of both, I’d say.” I took another long swig and sighed heavily. “Let’s talk about something else.” I was out of jail, at least for now, and the last thing I wanted to do was dwell on it, though it was hard not to, when it seemed like the vultures were circling.
“Something else like how good your legs look in that skirt?” Slate wiggled his brows.
Heat suffused every inch of my body until I was burning up. “Thank you.” The man gave really great compliments and suddenly my nipples were hard and my pussy pulsed. “Too bad we’re not alone.”
His nostrils flared and his skin flushed with desire. “We can be. Just say the word.”
I finished my drink and let out a long, shaky sigh. The room hummed with activity and happiness. Ash was laughing so hard her face was red and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She was happy.
Truly happy the way a little girl should be.
This was my life now and these were my people.
I was okay with that. In fact, I was happy about it.
Was this how I saw my life playing out? Hell no, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I turned to Slate and smiled. “The word.”
He grabbed my hand, and we did a circuit of the room, thanking everyone for putting this party on for me and hugging them all in grateful goodbyes. It was the fastest I’d ever seen him move and I fought to hold back my laughter.
And my joy.
It made me breathless to see in living color just how much this man wanted me. Being with him sometimes made me feel like the girl I’d been the night we met, fun and vivacious, bold and sexy.

Forty-five minutes later we were home.
Slate’s club brother Maverick had offered to let Ash sleep over again. I’d been in two minds, thinking she might be clingy after my night spent in the holding cells, but instead, she’d jumped up and down with excitement. I couldn’t deny I was a little upset, but then I mentally chastised myself, this was how a normal five-year-old acted and was a sign that she was coming out of her shell. Once I’d checked in with Grace and made sure that Ash was settled, I headed upstairs. Slate was waiting for me in our room wearing nothing but a pair of well-fitting boxer briefs as he sat on the bed, looking like a picture. “Hello, handsome.”
His smile brightened. “Come here, beautiful.”
I took one step closer and then another, and another, all while my heart leapt out of my chest to get closer to the man who despite my better judgment I was falling hard and fast for. “Here I am.” I stood between his legs where I felt safe. Desired. Cherished.
“Here you are,” he whispered while his hands slowly undressed me and his eyes stayed glued to my face, as if he couldn’t look away. “Right here,” he kissed a line of heat across my jaw. “And all mine.” The possessive words were accompanied by an equally possessive hold.
All mine.Those words shouldn’t have felt as good as they did, but they slid down my skin his gentle caresses only made real by the slight roughness of his hands. “Yours,” I whispered before our mouths crashed together.
Slate kissed me hard, so deep that I lost myself in the swipe of his tongue, the firm press of his lips against mine. His kisses were my new favorite drug, and I leaned in closer, hungry for another hit of my tattooed hero.
His big hands slid around my shoulders and down my back, gripping my ass as he fell backwards, settling my hot, hungry pussy over where he was long and thick and so fucking hard for me. I moaned and pushed my hips against him harder until I got a taste of that sweet relief. “Slate.” I was breathless and hot as I smiled.
“You make me crazy, Em.”
“Right back at you,” I purred and kissed my way down his body, enjoying the masculine scent of him as it dug its way deep into my brain. The way his chest hair felt on my lips, the way his abs tightened when I kissed him and licked over each hard ridge.
He groaned and gasped as my tits rubbed against his cock. “Emma.”
I gripped him in my hands and gave his cock a hard squeeze as I licked the length of him from base to tip.
“Emma,” he grunted and pumped his hips, sending his cock deeper and deeper into my mouth. It felt good. I was on fire, burning up with the need to make him feel as good as he made me feel. “Fuck, baby.”
After those words I heard another grunt and then I was airborne and falling onto the mattress before his big body settled on top of mine. “Hey.”
