I wanted to believe them, but as I closed my eyes, tiredness pulling me under, all I saw was the black rose in the Polaroid, lying on the bed where my back was burned for good. And I knew it wasn’t going to be that simple. “Always mine,” Juan’s voice whispered insistently in my mind. “Forever mine.”
In Juan’s eyes, I was forever his. It wouldn’t matter how much time had passed. Or that I had fallen into the arms of these two men. He would still be coming.
The sense of peace I’d just felt was, in an instant, shattered to smithereens.
“Mi rosa negra,” he whispered into my subconscious, making me determined to cling on to Hush and Cowboy for as long as I was here to have them.
However long that might be.
Chapter Eight
Cowboy
Two weeks later . . .
“Make sure to behave yourselves when we get there.”
I looked at Sia, sitting between me and Hush in the truck, and put my hand over my chest. “Who? Me?”
Hush smirked, his hand on Sia’s thigh. Sia cocked an eyebrow in my direction. “Well, I ain’t gotta worry about Hush. It’s you who can’t keep his mouth shut. Always fucking busy.”
I licked my lips and glanced down in the direction of her pussy. She followed my eyes then slapped my arm. “What?” I faked my surprise as I turned into the ranch where Sia was looking over a horse today. I leaned in close. “Thought you liked it when my mouth was busy.”
“Cowboy!” Sia protested, pretending to be shocked, but still she shot me a fucking knowing look. One that said the bitch loved me all up in her. Hush stared out the window, the brother searching the ranch like a hawk. Smiler and Tank had just done a drive-by of the place. It seemed secure.
“I mean it, Cowboy. Don’t fuck with the vet, okay?”
“He keeps his eyes off you and I won’t.” I looked around Sia to Hush. “Right, Val?”
Brother just shrugged. “He keeps his eyes on the horse and we won’t have any issues.”
“Motherfucking bikers,” Sia muttered to herself, but when she dipped her head, I saw a fucking shit-eating smirk pull on the corner of her mouth. Bitch loved that we’d claimed her now. And fuck had we claimed her. After the first night in her bed, we’d never left. Only time we made ourselves scarce was when the VP came calling. And since that’d only happened twice, we were all good.
Even Hush wasn’t pushing her away anymore. After the first night we’d taken her, I was sure he’d find some excuse to break it off the next morning. Instead I’d woken to him making love to her again, mouth welded to hers. I’d joined in, taking my turn. Figured it would be rude not too.
Although Hush was with her, the brother still hadn’t told her about his past. Hadn’t told her why we went nomad. Nothing. Not even about his scars. Why his eyes were fucking blue.
I liked the way we were. And fuck, I was falling for the bitch. Every day I was around her. Every fucking night I was with her reeled me further and further the fuck in. I saw it in Hush’s eyes too. Every time I caught him staring at her, I saw it as clear as day.
But when I’d confronted him, asked him when he was gonna tell her it all, he just told me to back off and walked away.
I pulled my head back into the game. “Clara told me this asshole is always sniffing around you like a fucking dog in heat.”
“He is not!” Sia shrilled.
“Yeah, well, he better stay back if he knows what’s good for him,” I warned as I brought the truck to a stop. “Just remember, we’re buying into your business, helping it expand. Friends of your brother’s.” I flicked my head to Hush. “I know you like nothing more than letting your mouth go, can barely keep quiet, but remember I’m the one who knows about horses, so just try keeping them lips sealed.” I winked at my best friend; he just rolled his eyes.
We piled out of the truck, and Sia took the lead through the gate to the stalls. Hush and I walked behind. A dark-haired suave motherfucker stood next to the horse I guessed we were here to look at.
“Helen,” he piped up, all fucking smiles. I glanced at my brother and saw his eyes narrow. Good. We were on the same fucking page. “Got here okay?”
Sia nodded and hugged the vet. My skin prickled. Fuck, I was laid-back, nothing much in life bothered me, but seeing that prick’s hands on my bitch really wasn’t sitting well with me. Hush folded his arms over his chest. “Feeling a surge of rage too?” I asked quietly. Hush raised his eyebrow at me. I shrugged, keeping the smug vet bastard in my sights. “Fucking weird thing for me to feel. This is what it’s like to be you?”
