shoulder at her. When their eyes connected he saw the concern in hers and he immediately turned to face her.
“Baby, it’s going to be okay. I promise you that he will not get to you.”
“I’m not worried about me, Dakota. I’m worried about you. You were shaking and your shoulders tensed and I thought you were going to crush the phone in your hands. What did he say?”
Dakota sighed as he laid back in the bed and pulled her into his arms. “He said that he would have you even if he had to kill me to make it happen.” Lis stiffened in his arms and tried to pull away, but he held her tighter and kissed the top of her head. “Baby, I will not let him get to you and I will not let him take me from you either. You agreed to marry me and now you’re stuck with me for a very long time.”
Lis nodded against his chest, but she knew he couldn’t guarantee that. She knew that the life they led was dangerous. She also knew that she would stay by his side and fight this battle with him. “Dakota, I’m not going to hide away like some scared little rabbit. I am going to stand beside you, and we are going to lead the family together.”
“That’s my girl,” he said and kissed the top of her head again.
“Dakota, make love to me again,” she said shyly and he smiled.
“Your wish is my command, my Queen,” he said as he proceeded to do exactly what he wanted.

“Wake up, beautiful,” Dakota said as he gently shook Lis from her sex induced sleep. “We need to head back to my parent’s before it gets dark.”
“Hmm,” she said quietly and he grinned. He was going to have fun waking her up every morning, but right now they needed to get back and work out the details of what needs to happen.
“Baby, we need to get back. We have a lot of planning to do and a short time to do it.”
Lis opened her eyes and looked at him for a second before she smiled and raised up. When the sheet covering her slipped down and her firm breasts poked out, Dakota’s mouth went dry. Her nipples were red and hard from his attention earlier and the sight caused his dick to harden painfully in his pants.
“Looks like part of you wants to stay here and have your way with me again,” she said as her gaze caressed the bulge. “I know we have to get back, but it feels like a safe slice of heaven here.”
“We can come back any time, love, but for now we have to get back.”
Lis nodded and hopped out of bed. Once she was dressed, Dakota put her hand in his and they left the house together.
“Dakota, does anyone know where your family lives?”
“Nope and I want to keep it that way,” he answered and she nodded.
“I don’t blame you. I want to keep it that way, too.”
“Lis, Collin was the mole and I think he played a part in your parent’s murder.”
“Why do you think that?” She asked and tilted her head to look at the sky.
“He left the club for a few minutes while we were at the bar that night, but I never knew where he went. He’d been sitting beside you during our conversation and heard the entire thing. When Morrison called me earlier he mentioned part of that conversation, but no one that worked at the bar was ever close enough to overhear us.”
“Oh,” Lis said and held Dakota’s hand a little tighter. “I’m assuming Collin is how Mike got your number.”
Dakota nodded as they stepped onto the back porch of his parents’ house. “He is, but that will have to wait. For now, we have a wake and a wedding to plan. I love you, Elisabeth, and I will be beside you through everything. Never doubt that.”
“I love you, too, Dakota and I wouldn’t want anyone else beside me through all that is to come.”
Dakota smiled as he opened the door and they stepped inside. As the door closed behind them, Dakota was struck with a feeling that something was going to happen. He didn’t know when and he didn’t know what, but he did know that as long as Lis was beside him he could face whatever life
