“If possible. Always, if possible.”
He smiled back at her rather than assuring her it wasn’t possible this time.
She had lost her mind tonight, but she promised herself she would find it as soon as he left. The second she was alone again she would find it, lock it up tight and make sure he couldn’t steal it from her ever again.
CHAPTER 10
She was going to make him crazy.
Rule could feel it coming.
The need to touch her, to taste her and to have her was burning through his system, engorging his cock and tightening his balls to a near-painful degree.
Watching her dance on that damned dance floor, her body swaying and moving against those other men as she laughed and flirted with them, had caused more than one growl to escape his control.
All that had kept him from tearing those men apart was Dane’s order that the enforcers at the bar converge on her and ensure that she wasn’t the contact their suspected spies were passing information to.
Jonas wanted that link, just as he wanted to know the threat they could become where Claire Martinez was concerned.
Jonas was certain Gypsy was connected. He was certain she was either one of the links who gathered the information and reported it to an upper contact, or one of the last links in the chain of information.
Protecting her ass was becoming difficult. Hazardous maybe, because Jonas was just a little too complacent about the direction and lack of results in this investigation.
Added to that, her parents’ attempt to smuggle that damned audio recorder into the meeting was only increasing the attention on Gypsy, as well as the suspicion.
And none of it mattered right now.
Tonight, he didn’t fucking care what Jonas was doing, was up to, or how he would handle it.
Tonight, Gypsy was his, in whatever way he could claim her, and as often as he could make it happen.
Giving her the information about the recording device her mother had brought to the meeting would wait. Not long, but it would wait.
...
Pulling the Jeep into the small parking lot of her apartment, Gypsy parked, activated the roof and waited until it was secured before turning the motor off.
She drew in a hard breath, even as the scent of her need intensified, along with her confusion.
She wanted him, yet she didn’t know why she wanted him. Why she was burning for him.
Stepping from the vehicle, he moved to the driver’s side, opened her door and waited until she slid from the seat, swallowing tightly.
“I have a car coming for me in two hours,” he told her, his lips quirking into a grin as her gaze flashed up to him. “Rest assured, sweetheart, what I want will take far longer than two hours to even get close to finishing. You’re completely safe for the night.”
He made a mental note to send Dog the message to pick him up at the appropriate time. He had a feeling it wouldn’t do to allow her to catch him in even the smallest white lie.
“I haven’t figured out what made you decide you should even be here,” she told him, though she turned and led the way to the stairs leading up to her apartment. “You’ve just totally destroyed any peace I have when I go out at night now. Every Tom, Dick and Breed will think he can go home with me now.”
Oh, he didn’t think so.
He’d make sure every Breed who considered it knew the hazards and informed Tom and Dick of the claim already made on her.
“I don’t think it will be the problem you’re imagining,” he told her, though, as she unlocked her door, her fingers tightening on the knob in preparation of turning it.
