Page 27 of Spook’s Honor

“Fucking hell.” He tilts his head back on the headboard, staring at the ceiling as if it’s going to give him answers. “You’re going to be a pain in my ass, aren’t you?”

“Maybe,” I shrug unrepentantly. “But if I am, you’ll love every minute of it.”

Luca tilts his head back to look at me. Eyes soft and happy. “Yeah baby, I will. Now tell me.”

“Okay. So, you know that my dad was overprotective.” I remind him.

Spook nods.

“Well,” I continue, “he had our vehicles modified so that we can carry weapons with us that are not strictly legal. I’ve also got a full medical kit, MRE’s, and camping equipment. Anything that I’d need if I ever had to go off-grid. That’s why I was a bit squirrelly, because whoever is driving it, will be carrying firearms and stuff. It’s not legal. He did the modifications himself on all our vehicles, so nobody but us knew about it.”

When I’m finished, I peek up at him. Luca’s looking stunned, mouth agape as he stares at me. He snaps it shut.

“Jesus, baby, I really wish I’d got to meet your dad. Where are the vehicles? I’m assuming somewhere safe?”

I nod, “Yeah, I left them with friends of my parents in Dodge City. The Nelsons. They’re storing all three vehicles in garages under their apartments.”

“The Nelsons,” Luca smirks, “From Nelson's Honkytonk Saloon & Bar?”

“You know them?”

Luca starts laughing, “Yeah, I know them. They’ve got connections to the Saints Outlaws MC, in Kansas City.”

“Well, okay then.”

Luca reaches out, and pushes my hair back from my face, cupping my cheek. “Let’s get dressed, then we’ll sort getting them picked up. You contact the Nelsons to expect my people tomorrow, and I’ll have three of my guys from Hit It go and pick them up. We’ll bring them here. We’ve got a barn near Maverick’s that we can store them in.”

I shake my head, “Nope, we can use them. I’d like to give one to Angel, and the other to the MC. It can be used as, and when, you need it. I’ll be driving mine though. I’ll have to show you where all the secret compartments are and how to access them. The only thing I ask is that nobody, but the Saint’s know about them. The less that know the better.”

“I agree. I have to admit I can’t wait to see them.”

I snigger at his excitement.

“You’ll love them,” I grin. Leaning forward, I press my lips to his in a fleeting kiss. “Now, how about that bath before we have to get back to the land of the living.”

He taps my thigh, “Scoot baby, I’ll start the bath.”

I slide off his lap and onto the bed as he gets up. Turning, he leans over me, fists pressing into the bed on either side of my hips. He gazes down at me with a soft look. “Love you, Honor. Fucking thrilled you came into my life. I’ll make you happy, baby. I promise.”

Oh, be still my heart. This man.

“I know, honey. But it’s a two-way street. I’ll give back to you what you give to me. That’s how it works. Love you, love the boys. I didn’t realise how lonely I was until I met all of you. My life is infinitely better for coming here. We’re going to be so bloody happy, it’s going to ooze out of us.”

Luca closes his eyes and presses his forehead to mine for a minute. Emotions that I can’t read run over his face. I wait him out.

He opens his eyes, “Christ, so fucking sweet. Too sweet for me, but you said yes to my cut. No escaping now.”

He still doesn’t get it, but he will. I love everything about him. He thinks I’m too sweet, but he hasn’t had time to understand all that is me. I may be a glass half-full type of person, and I see the best in people, but soft doesn’t mean weak. And if there’s one thing I’m not, it’s weak.

I guess I’ll just have to show him.

Not that I’ll be thinking about anything much for the next hour or so. Not when I’ve got all that delicious, muscular bare skin under my hands.

My mama didn’t raise a fool. Luca would learn that once I set my mind to something, there wasn’t much that could change it.

Not ten minutes later, he’s sinking his hard length into me, and I’m grinning smugly as he growls at me.

Too soft my ass!
