Levi wrapped her arm around my girl. Jazzy and Gabi sang along with the song, and Hana tipped a beer to her lips as she tried to wedge herself in front of Levi. Pippa’s head fell back as she laughed.

Best fucking sound in the world. Her gaze locked with mine, and I smiled at her. Fuck, but I loved her.

Romeo leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “You still want to watch her.”

Yeah, some things would never change. I did want to watch her. I wanted to watch her laugh and smile. But I wanted to be the only one to make her come apart. I’d made her want things she shouldn’t, and she’d become my addiction. Just as I’d become hers.

Because of her, I’d figured out a lot about myself in the last couple of weeks. I understood what brotherhood meant. When I needed them, my Heller brothers were at my side. Fuck the consequences. I’d be there for them the same way.

They gave me back Pippa. I couldn’t look at her without my heart taking a jolt. Fierce was another F-word to add to my list. I had a fierce fucking girlfriend. She was a fighter, another F-word.

Fuck, but I needed her. Her touch was gravity, a force I couldn’t explain, but that kept me grounded. Staring into her eyes was like staring into the sun, blinding me, warming me, my reason for living. And her kiss, having her beneath me, being inside her was my salvation.

Feeling my stare, she turned to me and smiled. My jaw ticked as I clenched my teeth. My soul was black, but she’d found me in the dark. Now every day with this girl was another day to fall in love because she was mine.

And I was hers.
