I cried out his name and came hard. I was shaking. I was moving. I moaned and then he exploded too. No protection this time. It didn’t matter. I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. I hadn’t thought about starting a family before, but if that was what happened…

“Flash…I love you.” The words escaped my lips before I could stop them. He groaned as he emptied himself inside me fully, and I blinked as I dared to look into his eyes. I had no idea how he would react. We hadn’t discussed this yet. Was love even on the table? Was that something he would ever experience?

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. It’s too soon…” I made to get off him but he grabbed me tighter and pulled me to himself. I wanted to look away. I couldn’t bear to look into his eyes. To face him when my heart was on the line like this.

“Allegra!” he said my name firmly. I was forced to face him. I had no choice now. “Repeat yourself, looking into my eyes this time.”

I gulped. My throat felt dry.

“I think I’m in love with you, Flash. I’m sorry if this doesn’t fit into your world. I know it’s too soon. Maybe you feel like you don’t know me…”

“I fuckin’ love you, Allegra.”

His voice was deep, just like his eyes. He was glaring at me from under those hooded eyelids. I cried out with joy and fell on him. We toppled back onto the bed together. He had me wrapped up tightly in his arms. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe this was really happening. Did I hear that right? Flash loved me?

“I fuckin’ fell for you the moment you looked away from me at that godforsaken bar,” he said, whispering the words in my ears.

He spun me so that I was the one underneath him on the bed.

“I think that was when I fell for you too. And then you were waiting for me and then you kissed me…and then Billy ruined everything.”

“Never again. He is never going to ruin anything for us again.”

I licked my lips and he covered my face in kisses.

“I want to help you in your work, Flash. I know your plans for the Club run got ruined in the past. But I can help you plan your next trip. I’ve been on the road for a long time, I might be able to help you with your routes,” I continued.

He nibbled on my earlobes and kissed my chin. “Good. I like the sound of that.” Just as his hand traveled down my body and made its way back toward my pussy again, there was a loud rap on the door.

“For fuck’s sake!” Flash growled. The rapping got harder and he glared at me and shook his head before jumping off the bed. He’d barely got his pants on before he swung the door open. Thankfully, I’d managed to pull the sheets up around me.

“What?” Flash growled angrily at the guy who was at the door. I didn’t recognize him from the little I could see of his face, so I figured he had to be one of the juniors at the Club—one of the prospects.

“I’m trying to get Drax to open the door but he doesn’t want to hear what I have to say.”

“He’s in there with two chicks; he’s not going to fuckin’ open the door to you,” Flash replied, still angry.

The guy shifted on his feet. “Ghost sent me. He said I need to get Drax to get dressed and come down.” The guy sounded nervous. Even though I couldn’t see Flash’s face, I knew he was frustrated.

“What the fuck is this about? It’ll have to wait.”

“There’s someone here who wants to see him. Drax. She is refusing to speak to anyone else.”

“She? Who?”

The guy looked shifty again. He dropped his gaze to his feet.

“Mary-Beth.”

There was silence for a second. Neither of them spoke. From the vibe surrounding us now, I got the feeling Flash knew exactly who this guy was talking about.

“Mary-Beth is here?” Flash asked. The guy nodded.

“Go. Get out of here. I’ll see what I can do about Drax,” he groaned and slammed the door shut. Then he turned to me and let out a deep sigh. “Sorry, beautiful, I have to go take care of this. Shit is going to hit the fan.”

I sat up in bed, letting the sheets drop. My shirt had completely come undone by now so he could see my breasts.

“Who is Mary-Beth?” I asked.
