“Come on, Joi,” Rattler yelled. “Come home. We’ll figure it out.”
“I am going home, Ruben.” She glanced at me and I caught a glimpse of the woman I’d left behind when I went into the Marines. Then her expression morphed into one of complete indifference.
She took off at a jog away from the clubhouse and through the gate. No one stopped her leaving. Rattler looked torn, but also resigned.
“I can’t just let my sister walk away, Falcon.”
“You can’t keep her if she don’t want to stay, man.”
“Christ,” Rattler swore and took off after Joilyn.
She was safe. At least, as long as the agency didn’t decide she was a loose end they needed to tie up. I pulled out my phone and shot off a text to Rattler. I’d support him with whatever he needed, but I couldn’t follow Joilyn. She wasn’t my problem and I had my own woman to worry about.
Chapter Thirteen
Gina
I saw Falcon and Rattler in the yard talking with Scout. Joilyn marched off and headed toward the gate. Rattler took off after her and I wanted to see what Falcon would do. I braced myself for him to join Rattler. If he did, I really thought my heart would break.
I took a breath and my heart pounded. Falcon turned to come back inside the clubhouse. He moved with purpose, his strides long and sure. The second he spotted me he hurried straight to me. I opened my arms and he wrapped his around me, crushing me to him.
“Honey, what are you doing out here? I thought you were asleep?”
“I missed you.”
He urged my legs around his waist as he made his way through the clubhouse back to our room. The second the door was closed, he kissed me. It was frenzied at first and I thought I was in for a wild ride, but he gradually slowed things down. He laid me on the bed and covered my body with his, but simply settled between my legs before staring down at me and stroking my hair gently.
“I’m sorry, baby. This hasn’t been easy on you. I’m sorry I’ve not been real… sharing. You know. With my feelings and shit.”
I had to fight a grin as I blinked up at him. “Feelings and shit. You have feelings?”
“Brat,” he grumbled, but grinned and leaned down to kiss me again. “I have feelings.”
“Oh yeah? What kind?” I was probably setting myself up for heartache, but I couldn’t help but push him a little.
“You know. The kind where I can’t bear to let you out of my sight.”
“So, you’ve got an obsession. You gonna stalk me?”
“If you try to leave me, sure. I’ll stalk you until I find you out by yourself, then I’ll drag you back to Grim Road and tie you to my bed.” The arrogant lift to his eyebrow said he fully believed he could accomplish that, but I could also see a bit of humor in his features.
“Tie me to your bed?” I raised an eyebrow at him but smiled just the same. “Is that supposed to make me feel threatened?”
“It’s supposed to make you feel wanted. Desired.” He kissed me gently, then whispered against my lips. “Loved.”
I pushed him back slightly so I could look into his eyes. “What? What did you say, Falcon?”
He grinned at me. “Is it so hard to believe I love you, Gina?”
“You… you love me?” I sucked in breath after breath, hardly able to believe what he’d said.
“I do, baby. I love you so fuckin’ much.”
“Oh, Falcon! I love you too! I love you too!”
The kisses that followed built a lust so hot I thought it would combust. The man was great with his tongue. In several different ways.
Somehow, he managed to get both of us undressed. It was kind of a blur because I couldn’t get past kissing him. I loved the way he tasted. And how the Christ he managed to drive me so high so quickly with nothing but his kiss was not something I wanted to look too deeply into. Mainly because why should I care? It felt fucking good and I loved Falcon with all my heart.
I was about to come when Falcon entered me with a swift, hard thrust. The world blurred and I could only focus where our bodies joined, and my orgasm threatened to overwhelm me. I lost myself in the intensity coursing through every nerve ending. Falcon’s movements were precise, designed to evoke a whirlwind of sensations that bordered on overwhelming. He knew exactly how to make me forget everything but the here and now.
“Falcon,” I gasped between breaths, clinging to him as if he were my lifeline. He slowed then, almost stopping, pulling back to look into my eyes.
“What is it, baby?” Falcon’s voice was thick with emotion, his eyes searching mine for any sign of hesitation.
