The SUV pulls up alongside us, close enough to ram, and just as I go to do it, Kiara calls out. “Brake,” she demands.
I don’t hesitate, stepping on the brake and watching as her arm rears back. Then, with perfect precision, she snaps her arm forward with incredible force and launches the blade directly through the window of the SUV before it plunges deep into the driver’s throat.
I almost laugh.
They wanted sitting ducks, and instead, they got us.
“Well fuck,” I grunt, shaking my head in awe as the SUV jerks, violently swerving across the road before flipping into the desert in a cloud of dust and raging sparks. “You know you always get me worked up when I see you working those fucking blades.”
She ignores my comment, the next blade already flipping in her palm. “Four down. One to go.”
“Baby,” I say, but she ignores me, her jaw setting in a hard line as though she knows exactly what’s coming, and I reach out, gripping her chin and forcing her stare to me, forcing her to hear me. “Firecracker, I don’t give a shit what you have to say about it. I’m done holding back. I fucking love you, and there’s not a goddamn thing you can say to make that stop. So deal with it.”
She stares at me like I’ve just announced that I’m planning to stop the car and propose to her in the middle of the fiery blaze behind us. Then, as seriousness flashes in her eyes, her chest starts to rise and fall with erratic movement. I know she heard me, truly heard me.
“God, I hate you,” she breathes, her heart on her sleeve as bullets crack past the windows. The final SUV is creeping closer, but it no longer matters to either of us.
I smile, knowing how fucking hard this is for her. “I know, baby.”
She huffs, annoyed and exasperated at having to face what’s right in front of her, and she pointedly looks away, unable to handle what she’s refused to say aloud. “Whatever,” she mutters under her breath. “I love you too. It’s not a big deal, so shut up about it.”
A grin splits across my face before I can stop it, and as the bullets continue to rain down around us, I grab her by the waist and yank her into me, crashing my mouth against hers like a starved man, desperate for only her.
Kiara kisses me back, her body melting against mine, and as her hand curls around the back of my neck, the world no longer matters. She’s right here where she belongs, choosing me just as I chose her the moment I laid eyes on her. Because despite it all, despite the war that’s brewing around us, we’re still fucking breathing.
“Alright, Firecracker,” I murmur, pulling back just enough to meet her eyes, and feel that intense adrenaline burning through both of us. “Let’s get this done. Take out this fucker so I can pull over and slide inside of you. These past two weeks have been fucking torture, and I don’t intend on waiting a second longer than necessary.”
CHAPTER 26
KIARA
Hold the fuck up.
If I knew wild car sex was on the table, I would have finished off these assholes in the SUVs ages ago, but I’ve just been taking my time, enjoying the retribution. Screw this. Hell, screw finishing them off before getting what I want.
Tossing the handgun into the center console, I immediately climb across the front of the car and into Raiden’s lap, not stopping until I’m straddling him. “Firecracker,” he warns as he races down the dirt road in the dead of night, one hand on the steering wheel, the other already gripping my ass.
I shake my head, not interested in his warning. “I’ve waited two weeks for this,” I tell him, grinding my pussy against him, feeling the way he hardens beneath me. “You have two choices. We can either play assassin and focus on the asshole in the SUV, or you can strip me bare and fuck me raw until I’m coming on that thick cock. Now, I don’t know about you, but one of these options sounds incredibly appealing to me.”
Raiden groans, and before the sound has even fully tumbled from his lips, his other hand is gripping the back of my neck and pulling me in, crushing my lips to his as he stomps on the brakes, bringing the car to a dead stop in the middle of the road.
My hips rock against him, already so worked up, and as I reach for his shirt and start tugging it over his head, only before I can get rid of it, the last SUV slams into the back left of our car, sending us into a wild spin, but we’re both braced for it, having seen it coming a mile away.
