“Yeah, I think we do.”
Grant closed the distance between them, cupping her face, tilting her head back, and then he slammed his lips down on hers. “No, we don’t need to slow down. We don’t need to stop. I fucked up, Aria. I know that. I will never do anything like that again. You want to know every single woman I’ve fucked? I’ll point them out. I’ll tell you.”
“I don’t want to know every single woman,” Aria said.
“I love you,” Grant said. “I love you more than anything else in the world. I don’t need you to change. I don’t need you to be different. I love you for who you are.” He pressed a kiss to each of her cheeks. “And I’m not going to stop. This isn’t over.”
He took possession of her lips and Aria couldn’t fight him. She didn’t want to fight him.

“Another dead body was found last night,” Bull said. “Dylan called me.” He looked around the church table, seeing the grim look on his men’s faces.
Lockdown right now was not working. They were not drawing out the enemy. He couldn’t allow Maddie to go out there, knowing Miguel waited for them.
“Three spots around town, all on the outskirts. First, we have the trailer park, then the old barn, and another outside of the woods, where Ernie and Bruno were found,” Bull said.
“Is he trying to tell us that we’re surrounded?” Sweets asked.
“That’s what I believe.” Bull turned toward his brother. “Miguel went to Aria’s house a week ago. Grant had gone to pick up some clothes for her. He wanted to make a deal.”
Grant had come to him immediately. Bull threw the calling card onto the main table.
“You’re only bringing this up now?” Rusty asked.
“Grant came to me. I wanted to know what to do with this information before I acted on it.” Bull looked toward his brother. “I want Grant to respond to this call.”
Grant looked up. His brother didn’t look good. He hadn’t shaved in several days, nor did it look like he had slept. This shit with Aria was affecting him.
“What?” Grant asked.
“It’s well known you and I don’t have the best relationship. I want you to call this in.”
“You’re crazy,” Grant said. “He’ll see right through it.”
“Will he?” Bull asked. “He reached out to you. We need to get rid of this fucker, Grant. You’re the only one who can do it.”
No matter what he thought about this outcome, none of them were as good as Grant. Not even one of the other guys could pull this off, but Grant could.
“You’re to make the call, follow his instructions, learn everything, and then we’re going to take them out. I need to know how many there are in town. I need to know where they’re staying, and then we’re taking this fight to them. I’m not going to be at their mercy anymore. I’m done making deals like our old man.”
Bull slammed his hand down on the table.
“And I’m done keeping us all locked up. The clubhouse, you brothers, you mean everything to me, but I need my wife, alone, without hearing one of you fucking farting outside my bedroom.”
Rusty held his hand up, and Rip was the one to high-five him.
“Rip bet me fifty bucks to do that. We wanted to see if you’d still be able to get your nut off with a bunch of dudes farting.”
Bull shook his head. Even when they were in danger and the threat was very fucking real, the guys still found the time to make jokes. Assholes.
“This is dangerous,” Pat said.
“I’m not going to put Aria at risk.”
“That’s the thing,” Bull said. “To help, I’ve already gotten Jase to spread the rumor.”
“What?”
