Chapter Twenty-Five

Petey

I wouldn’t say I was surprised to find she was gone after I put Charlotte to bed. The entire club is out looking for her. I’m sorry, but I can’t let her walk. She is my wife. Mine.

It’s driving me nuts that I can’t look for her myself, but I can’t leave Charlotte alone. Especially now that she’s in so much danger. The moon ripples across the lake as I wait for a message letting me know someone found her.

If they find her.

She’s good. If she wants to disappear, she will.

God, what did I say to scare her off? I thought things were moving along just fine. She’d even opened up and shared her deepest secrets with me.

A dark figure appears in the driveway, and she hovers in place when she notices me sitting on the porch. I don’t move and a few seconds later, she picks up her foot and continues toward me.

Thank god she came back.

She pauses on the bottom step.

“I would have set the world on fire.”

“I wasn’t running away,” she lies.

“One.”

She stomps her little foot. “Not with that again.”

“Then don’t lie to me.”

“I was just going to sleep up at the warehouse tonight. I would have been back in the morning.”

I nod. “So, why are you back?”

“Dirk kicked me out.”

Try as I might, I can’t contain my laughter.

“It’s not funny. Where do you think I’m going to go when you get tired of me?” She stomps up the stairs, surprising me by falling into my lap.

I wrap my arms around her. “I’ll never tire of you, Kat.”

“You say that now, but …”

“Is that why you ran?” I make a mental note to thank Dirk tomorrow. Whatever he said to her seems to have done the trick. She’s talking instead of running. I pull my phone out to call off the troops.

There’s just enough light that I take a quick selfie of the two of us. I send it to everyone, letting them know she’s right where she belongs.

“You know, if I wanted to disappear, I could.” She pouts, clearly embarrassed I had the club out after her.

I turn her on my lap, making her straddle me. “Would you curse me to spending the rest of my days looking for you?”

“You’d find someone else,” she says quietly, looking away from me. The breeze blows tendrils of her hair around her cheeks. She’s so beautiful.

“Now where would I find another woman who can keep up with me like you can?”

She leans forward, hiding her face in the crook of my neck. “I’m scared. Okay? If I give you that part of me, I’m worried … I’m worried my heart won’t understand it’s just sex.”

I push her back, staring into her eyes. “Kat, it’s not just sex. You’re my wife.”

“Your fake wife.”

“No. My wife.” I grip her chin, forcing her to look at me.

She bites her lip. “If you leave me after this, I’ll cut your balls off,” she jokes, blinking away tears.

“Oh, Kat, I’d never leave you. You’re mine.
