Chapter 17

The restraint I'd displayed at seeing Oliver standing outside with those Los Lobos members would have made my family proud. Especially considering how scared Michele and Maisie had been and the danger he could have been putting her in. Not since the day outside the pool had Maisie been that quiet. Michele's fingers had been trembling when I'd slid mine through them. No doubt her daughter's had been as well. My hand had throbbed for several minutes from how tight she'd been gripping onto it.

I'd caught Oliver watching us, and I'd wanted to curse at him to not draw special attention to us. If shit went down with him and Los Lobos, and they thought he knew Michele or had a connection to her, they could try to use her as some sort of leverage. I swore to god, if that happened, the Captain would have to tear me away from him before I sent him to the hospital. Or worse.

Thankfully I’d kept my cool, which filtered over into Michele, who’d impressed me. She hadn’t panicked, but rather played along with us being a happy family on our way to dinner. Except it hadn’t felt like playing. It had felt all too right, in fact. The feel of her skin between my fingertips. The scent of her washing over me as she leaned in close and laid her head on my shoulder. It had done something to me. I wanted to see where this would lead.

"Dinner was delicious. Thank you so much," Michele said on our walk back to the car.

"You're welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It's been too long since I've been to Franco's. I forgot how good their food is."

It had been a wonderful night. Maisie kept up most of the conversation, but I'd learned a few things about Michele, including how patient she was. Nothing seemed to ruffle her. She took everything in stride. I loved seeing the dynamic between the two of them. These two loved each other fiercely. And I wanted to be a part of that.

“I'm pretty sure I'm not going to need to eat the whole day tomorrow. I can't believe I stuffed my face like that. I'm a little embarrassed," she groaned once she settled into the passenger seat.

"No need to be. I ate twice as much as you. Then again, I do have all these muscles I need to feed." I mockingly flexed my bicep.

Michele covered her face and mumbled something behind her hands, while Maisie hooted in the backseat.

"You gots lots of muscles, Mister Pablo," she chimed in.

"See, even Maisie thinks so." I chuckled and nudged Michele's arm before tugging one of her hands off her face and holding it in mine. I couldn't stop touching her. She turned her head with a pout. “I'm never going to live that down."

“I promise I'll only bring it up when I need a boost to my self-confidence. It's nice knowing that you think of me in that way."

She didn't look convinced.
