“You’re nervous.”

“Totally nervous. Now, enough about me, what about you? Are you in love with Landon?”

Tulip opened her mouth, closed it, opened it again, and frowned. “I … I don’t know. I’m new at all of this.”

“Does it scare you?”

“Yeah, it does.” She shook her head. “Let’s focus on you and how good your life is now.”

Jade burst out laughing. “Please, my life is nowhere near perfect. There are a lot of faults.”

They both stopped as Landon came out, followed by Rick. From the looks on their faces, it wasn’t good.

Tulip got to her feet, as did Jade.

“What is it?” Tulip asked.

“We’ve got to go,” Landon said. “It’s not safe here and I’ve already put a lot of people in danger. I came to say goodbye.”

He wasn’t looking at Jade.

“Wait a minute. No, you’re not saying goodbye to me, are you?”

“I’ve got to leave.”

She shook her head. “No, you’re not leaving me behind.”

“Tulip, it’s safer for you here.”

“No. I wasn’t dragged across the world because of who I am for you to leave my ass here. Not going to happen. If you want to even think of trying that, I’m going to kick your ass.”

Landon grabbed her arms and pulled her to one side. She didn’t care who heard their conversation.

“I can’t risk you.”

“I don’t care. Look, I get it, you want to protect me but … leaving me behind isn’t protecting me, Landon. I’m coming with you.”

“It’s not safe.”

She grabbed his face and went on her tiptoes to kiss him. He didn’t push her away or fight her. He kissed her back. His fingers sank into her hair as she took what she wanted from him.

“You’re not going to argue with me, Landon. I’m coming with you whether you like it or not. You’re going to have to deal with having me at your side. If I belong to you, then this isn’t a hard decision to make.”

Chapter Fourteen

Five days later

“It will keep us safe from the storm,” Tulip said.

Landon gritted his teeth.

The paint peeled away from the walls and the bed was a mess. Housekeeping hadn’t even bothered to make it, and clearly the last couple to stay here were busy.

He opened up his case and threw down one of the spare blankets, covering up the mess. For the last five days, they’d been traveling. Rick had warned him men would be following him to keep him safe. They still had no way of taking the bounty from his head and having Tulip with him, well, he’d never known fear quite like this.

“I’m sorry.”

Tulip spun to face him. “Why are you sorry?”

“You deserve better than this. I should be giving you jewels, fancy hotels, a life worthy of being by my side.”

“Hey, hey, don’t get pissed about this.” She cupped his face. “I chose this life with you. Rick told me it wasn’t going to be easy. That we couldn’t afford luxury. I hate to break this to you, but this is a beautiful place.”

“You’re joking.”

“I’ve lived in some shitty places, Landon. Believe me, this is in the top five of better places to be.”

“That has to be a lie.”

“No lie.” She kissed him. “What will determine how good this place is is a hot shower.” They’d been traveling for two days, only having toilet breaks as they got as far from the Denton family home as possible. Rick had returned his cell phone. He hadn’t put a call to Tamsin. He wouldn’t put it past his uncle to be monitoring his calls.

Tamsin also hadn’t called him. It didn’t worry him too much. She didn’t call every single day either to check in or otherwise.

“See, this place is a dream,” Tulip said, coming back to grab his hand. “We have a shower. It’s only warm water but it’s not dirty water.” She started to strip out of her clothes and even as he wanted to sob, watching her get naked was one of his favorite things to witness.

She stepped up close to him and started to remove his clothes. “I see you’re going to need a little taking care of,” she said.

“I don’t mind you putting those hands on me, Tulip.”

“Everything out of your mouth sounds dirty.”

“That’s because you inspire me and I like it. A whole lot of it.” Landon ran his hands down the curves of her ass, pulling her tight against him. He could get used to this, really fucking used to it. Pressing his face against her neck, he breathed her in, relishing every single scent of her, the touch, the taste.

After stepping into the shower, he moved between her thighs, stroking her clit and feeling how wet she already was for him. Kneeling down in the shower, he lifted up her leg and tasted her once again. He’d never get enough of her. She was the best thing he’d ever had in his mouth. Licking up and down her slit, he plunged into her. Her screams came as he continued to tease her with his tongue.
