“In here, Cowboy,” I yell back packing up the last of our clothes in the suitcases. I smile as arms come around me, I straighten up and feel Zander push up against me. He burrows into the side of my neck and I tilt to the side to give him more room, my hands resting on his.
“I missed you,” he whispers, biting on my neck and I know he’s leaving another mark. He says he feels the need to mark me every day so I never forget who I belong to.
That will never happen, but I like looking in the mirror and seeing the small bruises from his loving. I wear them proudly.
“You’ve only been gone an hour, Zander,” I tell him on a sigh, as he sucks the lobe of my ear into his mouth, his warm breath sends delicious chill bumps over my skin.
“Hellcat, I miss you the minute you leave my arms,” he grumbles and I can’t argue, because I feel the same. “Are you ready to roll?” He asks.
“Ready as I’ll ever be. Are you sure this is what you want, Cowboy?”
“I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. This is it, Hellcat. This is where we’re supposed to be.”
“Did you talk to Dragon?” I ask him, because that’s the only misgiving I have. Dragon, Dancer and Bull are Zander’s family, the only ones he’s ever claimed as family. He loves them. So, having him decide to just leave them makes me nervous.
“Yeah, sweetheart. Quit worrying everything is good. We’re meeting them in Vegas in two weeks for the wedding.”
“Nicole still has no idea?” I ask, turning around to hug him close.
“Nope, so don’t be giving it away next time you and her have those two-hour long conversations.”
“Hey, I don’t get to see her so we have to have our weekly catch up chats.”
His rough fingers brush the side of my face, his thumb brushing back and forth at the top of my cheekbone. “Sweetheart? Are you going to be okay with this? I don’t want to take you away from Nic. If you want to stay in Kentucky…”
I stop him with the touch of my fingers against his lips. I laugh as he instantly sucks them into his mouth. I frown for just a second as I catch a glimpse at the missing pinky. Most days I don’t notice it and it doesn’t bother me. Zander has made it clear it doesn’t bother him. I shake it off. It’s just one more shadow of the past that I fight from time to time. Zander is my tomorrow—my future. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that we’re together in it and as long as I have that…I have everything…
“Hellcat?”
I shake off my thoughts and smile up at him.
“I love you, Alexander Dawson.”
“Ugh, that name,” he jokes. He’s happy. You can see it all over him. I make him happy.
“It’s beautiful,” I argue shaking my head at him. “The point is, you are my future. I have Nic, I’ll always have her. You though aren’t my family, you’re everything to me. You are the one person in this life I couldn’t survive without. I’m good as long as you’re with me.”
“Then let’s get to our new home. We have a lot of work to do.”
“Work? Zander the house was completely done and our furniture was moved in two days ago! We can’t work, the club is coming over tomorrow. I need a day to relax.”
“Sorry Hellcat, but you don’t get that today. I’m on a mission.”
“A mission? Already? Are you going out of town?”
“Nope. I’m going to fuck my woman in every room of our new home. Then I’m going to eat her sweet little snatch outside under the stars by the water until she begs me to stop.”
Heat and electricity run through my body at his words.
“Well what are you waiting for, Cowboy? I ask him grabbing a suitcase, which he takes out of my hand, while grabbing the other one. I let him get away with it. I’ve learned with Zander to just let the he-man tendencies take over—they usually lead to really good places.
“You just want me for my dick,” he grumbles walking out of our old bedroom.
“Well that and your tongue…” I joke.
“I’ll show you my tongue, damn it.”
“I’m counting on it Cowboy, I’m counting on it.”

I look at the man on my exam table. I shouldn’t be attracted to him. I mean he’s good looking, so he would catch any woman’s eye. He’s tall and has arm porn that would make any woman weak in the knees. He’s got an aura of danger about him and a bad boy vibe that goes on for miles. That’s not why I shouldn’t be interested in him though. No, that reason is pretty much summed up in one sentence.
“You have gonorrhea, Mr. Kane.”
“That’s not fucking possible.”
“I’m afraid it is, the good news, is that despite your lapse in judgment, it is curable. However, I would suggest we test you for other sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.”
“I don’t fucking have AIDS lady.”
