“We’ll talk soon,” West said as he stood.

“Be careful,” Lucas added.

“I will.” I nodded. I walked them to the door and said goodbye, but not before Lucas gave me a quick hug. Then I went into the bedroom to change into clothes I wouldn’t mind getting dirty.

Chapter Twenty

Saint

It was understandable the drive to the compound was quiet. When we pulled in and got out, I met Kylo at the front of the car and tugged him to a stop with my hand in his.

“What do you want to happen in there?” I asked. I didn’t want to bring it up on the drive since it looked like Kylo needed his silence to process we had his father in lockup and was about to deliver some payback.

“I want him in pain. I want him to suffer, and I want both of us to deliver it.”

Nodding, I took his hand in mine, pulled it up, and kissed it. “Then we’ll make it happen.”

He tugged me into him, dropped my hand, and wound his arm around my waist. “Thank you for being you, for takin’ a chance on us, and for standin’ at my side.”

My chest compressed, then expanded. “Anythin’ for you.”

We both leaned in. Our lips pressed, opened, and tasted.

“It’s sweet and all, but let’s get this show on the road.” We broke apart to see Death approaching us.

“Don’t get jealous on me, Death. We’ll make out later,” I teased with a wink.

Death grinned. Kylo growled under his breath. “Like hell,” he clipped, causing Death and me to chuckle.

We made our way into the compound when Death said, “Don’t worry, Gun, he’s all yours. Blonds just don’t do it for me.”

Kylo grunted. “Good.”

We stopped in the common room where other brothers were. They took us in, giving us a greeting in some way. Country, State, and Wreck approached us, but it was Country who said, “You gotta make a decision, Gun. In the end, do we turn him over or make sure the cops never find him?”

“He’s never to be found again,” Kylo stated.

It was what I would have picked. No one fucked with us. No one fucked with the Diamond MC, but more importantly, no one fucked with my man.

Squeezing his hand, I smiled and nodded my approval as Kylo met my gaze.

They parted, and we walked through, heading toward the basement area. I wasn’t sure what Kylo was feeling. I wished I could read his mind in case he needed something from me. But I wanted to end this so Kylo could breathe easy and move on with his life. There might be other hurdles, other challenges in life, but we’d deal with them together. We’d have the brothers at our backs, but we’d also have each other.

There wasn’t anything that would keep me away from Kylo.

Nothing.

I didn’t know if Kylo understood how deep I’d fallen, but I had.
