said
softly before I cleared my throat for what I had to ask next. “How much do you
know?”
    Whatever he saw in my expression made
his eyes soften as they looked back into mine. Clearly he understood what I was
getting at. “Enough. Not what’s in your head or what you remember, of course. But I know your father was a good man who did the
best he could when your mama died,” he said softly as I bit back the emotion that
was growing in my chest, threatening to suffocate me. “I know that Jake fucking Silvera had something to do with him getting killed.
I also know that Jake and you had something when you were kids that obviously
he thought more of since he expected you to be at his side when he took over runnin ’ the club. Clearly you had other ideas, because you
split the first chance you got,” he said, and I thought I detected a hint of
pride in his tone. “And I know that you’re as hard as nails as you are soft and
sweet, and you’ve got something I want not only to protect, but selfishly
something I want for myself, too,” he murmured while kissing my forehead.
    Wow that was sweet. I sagged into him
unable to convey with words how much gratitude and longing I felt for him in
that moment. He was unlike any of the men I’d grown up with. He had a hard edge
for sure, but his heart was as warm as they came.
    “Sleep, babe, everything’s gonna be fine,” he assured me.
    “K,” I muttered.
    “Can Kat come to the barbeque, too?” I
muttered, half asleep.
    I was sure I felt him smile. “Yeah,
babe.”
    Then it was lights out.
    I woke up feeling warm and I smiled
when I felt the wall of Cole behind me. He was pressed to my back yet again
with an arm thrown over my waist, pulling me close. I’d never been with someone
who liked to cuddle, and it was a welcomed change. My skin began to hum with
the awareness of him and I grinned as I scooted my behind that much closer to
his boxer covered body. He growled softly in response, and his arm got tighter
around me. My whole body lit up as I rolled to face him. His eyes were wide
open, sleep only a memory as his gaze bore down into mine. His hand trailed
down my torso, clenching at my waist and I could tell it was taking all of his
restraint from launching himself at me.
    I looked him over, my eyes hungrily
devouring his form and thought, “fuck it.” I sat up and slowly pulled my
camisole over my head.
    I saw his eyes widen in response, his
pupils dilated and his nostrils flared. It was the most animalistic response
I’d ever seen in a man before, and it sent a rush of wetness between my legs.
    “You are the sexiest fucking thing
I’ve ever seen,” his deep voice rumbled as he did in fact launch at me,
throwing his body over mine. He pulled me into a passionate kiss as his hands
trailed like liquid fire down my smooth back and into my shorts, cupping my
ass.
    “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted
to have my hands on this ass,” he groaned, squeezing me firmly.
    I sighed in response as his hands
pulled my shorts down and off my legs.
    His mouth trailed from my mouth to my
neck and further still until it reached one of my nipples. I heard my own
intake of breath when he took one in his mouth and sucked, nibbling slightly
until I was fighting back a loud grown. It occurred to me absently that Kat was
home and that the walls were by no means thick.
    His mouth continued its exploration as
he moved down past my breasts to my stomach and further until he reached his
goal. I’d never felt that comfortable with having a man’s mouth on me, but
there was something so erotic about watching Cole and the hungry look in his
eye when he looked up at me, that all thought of modesty fled my brain. He
pulled my legs apart forcefully and dove in like a man starved.
    “Oh, God,” I breathed softly as he
sucked and nibbled until my legs were shaking and I could feel my body building
up to something mind blowing. It was mere moments
before it washed over me as sweat
