I nodded. “I’m fine,” I assured her. “I promise.”
She turned on Talon as Hunter and Lars came up behind her. She had her finger in Talon’s face, and she was losing her shit in spectacular fashion. “You fucking asshole!” she yelled. “You fucking asshole! You don’t deserve Kenzlee. She’s too good for you and…and she can do better!”
“Alexan-”
She didn’t let Talon speak. She was on a roll, and no one was going to stop her. “Screw you, Talon Draven! Screw you, and, I swear to God, if you ever break her heart again, I will disembowel you and put your head on a stake as a warning to men everywhere. You. Are. A. Fucking. Asshole!”
I stood there and watched Talon take everything she was dishing out. When she finally took a breath, he asked, “Are you done?”
“Hell, no, I’m not done,” she snapped, and her finger went from Talon’s face towards the Finley brothers behind her. “If you ever order them to kidnap me ever again, I will kill every single one of you!”
Lars chuckled, and Hunter outright laughed behind her, but when she whirled around on them, they both threw their hands up in surrender and took a step back.
Alex was badass when she was losing her mind.
Talon nodded and said, “Okay. No more broken hearts and no more kidnapping. Is that all?”
She evil-eyed us all and said, “Somebody better take me home right now before I really lose it.”
Well, okay, then.

Talon~
After checking on Craig Simmons, the opponent I fought, and finding out there was more blood than actual damage, I had driven a very batshit crazy Alexandria home, and taken Kenzlee to my place. It was almost midnight, and I knew Edie was already asleep, and Mom wouldn’t be home for another couple of hours.
My plan was to sit Kenzlee down and explain all the reasons why I was such a dick and beg forgiveness, but the second I saw her standing in the middle of my bedroom again, all thoughts of talking vanished.
I stepped to her and took her face in my hands and, this time, I kissed her with all my promises for the future instead of regrets of yesterday. The kiss should have been passionate and loving, but Kenzlee was grappling to latch herself to any part of me she could, her desperation was breaking my fucking heart.
I did this.
I made her doubt her worth, and I will do anything she needs me to do to restore what I took away from her. If that meant watching her buy a Mercedes and let her drive me around in it, then that’s what I’ll do. I’ll do fuckinganything.
I pulled back. “Baby…” Before I could tell her to slow down, that we had all night, she was dropping to her knees and reaching for my shorts. “Uh, no,” I said stopping her.
Kenzlee looked up at me and she looked heartbroken all over again. “You…you don’t want me to-”
I grabbed her by her shoulders and hauled her to her feet. “Oh, I want,” I corrected her. “I want a whole hell of a lot, White. But now like this. I need to shower first and-”
“Can I shower with you?”
Fuck, this girl was going to drive me crazy by the time she was done with me. “If that’s what you want, White, but-” She didn’t let me finish. She just turned her back on me, headed towards the bathroom, and I followed her like a pussy-whipped bastard.
Locking the door behind me, Kenzlee was already halfway to being undressed and I literally couldn’t comprehend how I managed to live these past few days without her. After tonight, I wasn’t sure how I was not going to move her in with me.
Since I was still only in my basketball shorts from the fight, seeing how it was take the time to change or get Alexandria and her crazy ass home, all I had to do was push them down along with my boxer briefs and I was naked.
Kenzlee was removing her bra as I stepped towards the shower and turned on the water. When I had adjusted it just right, I turned back to face Kenzlee, and she was standing before me complete naked, and I knew I wanted her to walk around our house like that forever. Or, well, until we had kids.
I stood by the shower and waited on her as she walked towards me, that siren’s body of hers making me weak as fuck. She passed me, and when she entered the shower, she didn’t immediately stand underneath the spray.
Nope.
Kenzlee plastered herself against the tiled wall and waited. Since I was the one who needed to wash the sweat and blood off my body, she didn’t really care about taking a shower.
I entered the shower and let the spray do its job, but a proper shower could wait until later. My dick was at full mast and my hands were desperate to get ahold of Kenzlee.
