"What’s up, Titus?" The call echoed through the cab as the Bluetooth connection sent the cop’s voice through the truck

"Goddard pled guilty to the charges He didn’t ask for another lawyer after you laid his first one out I don’t knohat you said to hiasped when Titus coal syste next to me when the deep voice continued, "The lawyer didn’t say shit about pressing charges for assault, even though you fucked hi to one side of his face and he was holding his side like he had some busted ribs I don’t know if I should ask you for lessons in handling perps or put a detail on you to make sure you don’t compromise anymore of my cases"

I must have made a noise because Stark’s head cocked to the side and his eyebrows lifted Wordlessly, he pulled the big truck off to the side of the road, the front wheels pointing toward a sheer drop off

"My uys" He atching me closely because I was suddenly wide awake He’d taken on Aaron forHe’d not only refused to let ht as his own It was hands down the nicest and led to getout of et and I didn’t need any extra clothes getting in the way

"You can be one of the good guys too, Stark You already are when it’s convenient for you" The cop sounded chiding and slightly put out He wasn’t wrong My guy had all the s of a hero, he just needed to decide if he wanted to save the world or not

I put ainst the brush of his dark stubble He was beautiful, conniving, and even if he didn’t want to save the world, he had saved h It was more than I’d ever had

"You went after Aaron" There was no hiding the relief and hint of awe that colored et to you last night He doesn’t get any part of you ever again" His hands slid up toht, he doesn’t, because you have all of me You already had all of me even before I knew you kicked Aaron’s ass" I leaned forward and rested lasses into his face "I don’t have ive all of it to you"
