“He told me that a king was nothing without his queen. That the two most important cards in a deck were the ace and the queen. You want the ace up your sleeve. And you need the queen at your back because women fight dirty.”
Oh, yes. Women fought dirty, especially this one. The queen who’d shove her knife into his back.
Better to leave a woman wanting more than break her heart.
I closed my eyes and for just a moment, I wasn’t June Johnson. I wasn’t Tucker Talbot’s daughter. Emmett wasn’t my enemy, and this wasn’t all part of some grand scheme to get my revenge. For just a moment, I was a woman who shared a primal attraction with this sexy man. This man who pushed me to shed my inhibitions and be free.
The true goodbyes are usually the most painful moments in our lives. But they’re a part of it. We survive the goodbyes so when a hello comes along, we appreciate its beauty.”
God, how I had missed her. How I’d craved her. If there were any doubts about this, they disappeared the moment her tongue tangled with mine and the world melted away. The past melted away. I kissed her until she was breathless, then pulled away to drown in those dark coffee eyes. “Hey, baby.” A smile stretched across her face. A smile I hoped to see every day for the rest of my life. “Hi, Ace.”
Today was the first annual Clifton Forge Motorcycle Club charity ride. Pride swelled in my chest as Emmett turned to Dash. The two friends—two brothers—shared a look that made it hard to breathe. This ride was for their fathers. For Draven. For Stone.
Then I kissed his shoulder once more, holding tight with my legs so I could let go with my arms and feel the wind, like I did on all of our rides. Like I’d done since the beginning when I had yet to realize that the man I’d been meant to ride through life with was Emmett. He’d set me free. We’d set each other free. His queen. And my Ace.
