“A few days ago, I overheard Spencer talking to someone on the phone. He said you were looking for Nic. Then today in your office, you said the same thing.” I’m a controlled man, but the thought of Nic Decker makes me want to throw a chair through a window. “I am.” Her tone is low and hoarse. “Are you going to arrest him too?” “No, baby.” “No?” “No.” I take another step so we’re flush. Electric-charged air hangs between us, the only place we touch is where her nipples brush my chest. My cock is no longer swelling. I’m at full mast in a way that nothing is going to settle him down besides my

“Nothing stands between us any longer. It’s you, and it’s me. If it ends up being us against the world, I’ll take them all down. And I’ll do it for you—I’ll do anything to keep you by my side.”
Nic Decker is going to pay for what he did to Landyn, and it’s not going to be a quiet experience.
“Love you so much it hurts,” he growls. “You’re like heaven. Don’t ever take this away from me. I might’ve survived the cartel, but I won’t survive losing you.”
If he didn’t just insist that I return to New York with him, I would’ve chased him to the ends of the earth.
When he lets go of my mouth, he tips his forehead to mine. “You’re coming home with me.” I give him a small smile and try not to be sad about him not finding out who killed Brian. “Try to keep me away. When do we leave?”
I turn, and Cole holsters his gun, but never shifts his frown from me. “You, Cruz, are a drama queen and a bullet magnet. I think you and I need to take a break. I have a wife, two kids, a cranky cat, and a farmhouse. I’d like to grow old with them … and in them, if you catch my drift. I’d give you the whole it’s not you, it’s me bit, but I’m no liar. It’s you—totally you. You need to rethink your priorities.” And with that, I watch the CIA officer turn and clomp down the stairs. Wow. After two years and all we’ve been through, Cole actually broke up with me. Whatever. He’ll get over it when

The first thing I’m going to do when I get Brax’s phone number is memorize it. There’s so much I don’t know about him. I need to know it all—burn it on my brain for the rest of my life. Every inch of his body. What makes him tick. Every corner of his beautiful heart. And if he finds it in that heart to love me after learning that my father ripped his family apart, I’m going to love him more than any human could love another.
“I have you. I’ve never believed in this shit, but who the hell knows, maybe Brian knew what I needed. He sent you in a bloody wedding dress and threw you at my feet.”
“I thought you were going to leave me,” I admit. He gives my hair a tug and kisses me again. This one is familiar. It’s my Brax. “You’re going to have to try harder than that to get rid of me, baby.”
“Thank you for coming back to me.” “I’ll always come back to you. Love you too much to live without you.”
I don’t care who Landyn’s father is. She’s not an Alba. In my heart and soul, she’s a Cruz. We’ll make it official in the eyes of the law eventually. It doesn’t matter when. She’s mine now and forever.
