Connor's Claim (Body Count, #2)

by Jolie Vines

“I’ve got a fast car and no sense of self-preservation. Say the word and I’ll get ye out of here.”

“I’d say that was the first time kidnapping ever worked for all parties, but Gen arrived at my house with Arran in much the same way. If this is modern-day dating, maybe I should be the one laying traps and readying the duct tape.”

Cassie extended a casual arm. “Spy, detective, stalker, the CEO of all things feral and chaotic. I’ll get business cards made.”

I stopped. Drew my gaze around to be sure I had everyone’s attention. “Listen up,” I shouted. Then I turned us to show Everly’s face. “Mine. Do ye hear me? Fucking mine.”

“I own ye now. Just as ye own me. I’ll defend your life with mine and give ye everything ye want. A home, my last name, the blood of anyone who hurts ye. I’ll fucking knock ye up, too. As many times as we want.”

Shade pulled a face. “I wasn’t exactly subtle in bringing ye in last night.” I choked on a laugh. “If ye mean yelling ‘mine’ with her over your shoulder, yeah.”
