Neo’s gut twisted. “We really need to find out where Gentry and his bikers are hanging out.”
“We’re working on it. You know that. Those fuckers are laying low, though. Money and Blade and I are at work now. Ghost is aware of what we’re doing.”
Across the street, Kayla stepped outside holding a box. Chloe stood in the door talking to her. It was such a normal scene. Domestic. This was his life now. He didn’t mind it. Except for the black cloud that the Kings of Doom created, everything was good.
“I’ll come in and help,” he said.
“No, stay with your wife. Whoa,” Shade said with a laugh. “That sounded weird. Neo’s got a wife.”
“You’re the only one left without a wife or a future wife,” Neo replied. “Get used to it.”
“Dude, I’m good. I don’t need or want a wife. No way.”
“That’s what we all say,” Neo said as Kayla started across the street. Chloe watched her go and didn’t step inside again until Neo heard the door open. “I gotta go. Thanks, Shade.”
“No problem. I’ll let you know if we get anything else.”
He put the phone down and got back to work on the crib while he considered everything Shade had said. There wasn’t much they could do yet, but knowing that Dunn was involved certainly explained some things.
“How’s it going?” Kayla asked as she peeked into the room.
“Great. Just about to starting screwing the parts together.”
She stepped in and looked at all the pieces on the floor. “Wow, that’s a lot of stuff.”
“It is, but I got it handled. Don’t worry.”
She smiled. “I’m not worried.”
“What did Chloe want?” he asked.
“She wanted to give us dinner. I brought home a pan of chicken and dressing. Oh, and she made strawberry pretzel salad for you.”
Neo’s taste buds started to water. “Damn I love that woman.”
Kayla laughed. “So do I. I wish we didn’t have to move. I’ll miss being first on the list for Chloe’s leftovers or new recipe experiments.”
“Yeah, me too.” That was a major bummer to be sure. Maybe Dirty would bring some to work. No doubt Chloe would continue to entertain and they’d be invited over.
“Maybe we’ll get lucky and Dal will go away.”
“Maybe so,” he said, because it was what she wanted to hear. Even if Gentry went away, which Neo doubted, there was still James Dunn. If that lawyer got Dunn’s conviction thrown out, the man could be back on the streets and looking for trouble within weeks. Maybe sooner. Neo didn’t intend to tell Kayla about that unless it became a reality. By then, he’d have her and Ana on the base and out of reach.
“What can I do to help?”
“Go get my laptop and bring it in here so you can start shopping that Wayfair place for accessories.”
“Oh no, I couldn’t do that,” she said softly. “I don’t have a credit card yet and I can’t get one because of my age and work history. I don’t have enough stability for anyone to give me credit.”
He made a mental note to add her to his credit cards and bank account. He hadn’t thought about her not having credit yet, but it made sense. He’d never intended for her to buy the accessories anyway.
“Kayla. Get the computer. You can give me cash if you want, or you can call it a wedding present and leave it at that.”
She hesitated. Then she walked over and stooped down where he was kneeling and working on the crib. She put her hands on either side of his face and pressed her mouth to his. It was the lightest of touches, and it ignited a hunger deep in his soul.
“You’re too good to me, Zach,” she said when she broke the kiss.
He caught her to him when she would have stood and tugged her across his lap. He wasn’t letting Dunn or Gentry get to her. He’d kill them both before they did.
“I’m not that good, beautiful. Because that one little kiss and I want to stop what I’m doing and eat your pussy so good you scream. Then I want to fuck you until I explode.”
She put her arms around his neck and lifted her face to his. “You don’t think I’m going to say no, do you? It won’t take long to make me scream, I promise you.”
He lifted her and carried her across the hall where they frantically stripped before falling to the bed together. It was crazy how much he wanted her, how much he needed to do this to her. Kayla matched him with her intensity in bed. For all that she seemed somewhat shy most of the time, she wasn’t shy when it came to sex with him. He had every intention of pushing her back on the bed and spreading her legs wide, but she stopped him with a suggestion.
“I want to do you too. Let me turn the other way.”
He wasn’t about to say no, which is how he found himself on his back, Kayla’s pussy in his face and her mouth and hands on his dick. Somehow, it turned into a contest about who would come first. Or so he thought because he was determined it would be her while she seemed to be attacking his cock with abandon, her tongue swirling over the head and down the sides before she put him in her mouth and took him as far as she could before doing it all again.
It took everything he had to stop the tingling at the base of his spine from turning into an inferno that raced through him and made him lose control. He licked the slick flesh of Kayla’s beautiful pussy, swirling around her clit and pressing two fingers inside to find her G-spot.
More than once, he thought
