“He was a senator’s son,” I reply. “He had people in his pocket, and he wasn’t afraid of anything. I had Miller threaten him. I called the IRS, but nothing came of it. Anything I did, aside from kill the motherfucker, bounced right off him. It was incredibly frustrating, and it terrified me. Because he would have killed my sister.”
Her arms tighten around me. “No, he wouldn’t. Because she has you.”
“I didn’t do her any good in that situation, angel.”
“Yes, you did. You made her feel safer. She loves you. You’re her big brother. With four big brothers of my own, I know how that feels, and the fact that you took care of the security, that you helped her move to Montana and settled her in, and came to visit so often, helped her.”
“Nothing like that will ever happen to you.” I’m squeezing her so tightly, I’m surprised she can breathe. “You’re the blood in my veins, and I will not allow you to be hurt. Aye, I likely have anxiety from the experience with Skyla, and that could trigger some of my reactions, but at the end of the day, you’re the most important thing in my life, and there are no lengths I won’t go to keep you unharmed. I want you to keep Simon with you when I can’t be there when we’re not at home.”
“Which home?” she asks, her lips tipping up in a sassy grin.
“Any of them.” I nip at her lips. “There’s a new property that Gallagher Hotels is working on in Sweden that has garnered some attention from extremist groups who don’t want to see any building on the site we’ve chosen. We’re getting some threats, and I want to make sure you stay safe.”
“Thank you for telling me.” Her voice is soft, her hand still roaming over me. “I’ll stick with Simon and won’t do anything stupid.”
“Thank you.”
“And you have to promise me that you’ll stick with Miller.”
I smile down at her. “Worried about me, angel?”
“Of course, I am. I’m in love with you.”
Rolling over her, I kiss her with everything in me, my entire world knocked off its axis at her words. I’ll never get tired of hearing them. I’ll never lose this feeling of possession, of obsession, whenever I merely think of her.
“I’m so fucking in love with you, mo chroi,” I growl as I reach between us and rip her leggings away, making her gasp, her eyes widen. “I never get enough of you. It’s like a fever I can’t shake, and I don’t want to. You need to be quiet now.”
Her hands fumble with my pants, and finally, my cock springs free, and I push inside her, both of us gasping at how wet, how hot, how goddamn perfect she is.
“I need you,” she whispers against my lips. “And it scares me. Because I don’t need anybody.”
“You don’t have to be scared, mo rúnsearc. Because I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Linking my fingers with hers, I pin her arms over her head and move in and out, almost coming undone by the way her inner walls squeeze my cock.
“It’s so good,” she moans, lifting her hips with every thrust and squeezing around me as her orgasm gathers. “Fucking hell.”
“Shh. Go over, baby.” I lick over the seam of her lips, then kiss her mouth as she cries out, quivering around me and pulling me into my own climax.
As we catch our breath, I brush her hair back from her face, murmuring, “You’re so beautiful. So damn sweet.”
With a happy smile, she presses her lips to mine. “You’re so sexy. And for as long as I live, it’ll never be long enough with you.”
“Christ.” I lower my forehead to hers. “You undo me, a ghrá.”
She makes me feel special. Not because of my name or the money but because she sees me. And she loves me.
And I will treasure her until I take my last breath.
“Do you want to go to the office first or the house?” Miller asks me once we’re in the SUV leaving the plane.
“The office,” I reply. “We’ll go straight to Galway from there tonight. I don’t want to stay in Dublin.”
Miller’s eyes meet mine in the rearview.
Yes, I’m changing the plan, but I only get one more week alone with my angel, and I’m going to spend it in my favorite place with her, not at work.
I lift an eyebrow.
“Yes, sir.”
I feel Billie’s eyes on me, and I turn to look at her.
“I take it you were supposed to be in Dublin longer than a few hours?”
“The best thing about being the boss is, I make my own rules, angel. I’ll be in Dublin as long as I wish to be, and right now, that’s not long. I want to show you my home on the cliffs and spend time with you there, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
