I rolled my eyes and swallowed. “Everything turns you on.”
“No, everything you do turns me on. Those college hussies have nothing on my gorgeous bride. Trust me, babe, you’ve got nuthin’ to worry about.” He kissed my forehead, then my nose, then my lips. “I love you. If you want to take this back to the bedroom, I’ll prove my undying devotion by pouring maple syrup all over your body and licking it off.”
He was insatiable. “A, that sounds messy, and B, we both have to leave soon. You have an early class today, remember?”
“Well that was piss-poor planning on my part.”
I clicked my tongue at him. “Make better choices, Tonio.”
“I’ll show you a good choice.” His eyes grew feral and he pounced, tickling and kissing my neck until I was screaming and squirming to get away from him. Finally, he let me up to catch my breath.
“Any plans for tonight?” he asked.
“Yes. We’re having dinner at the fire station. Something has happened to Naomi’s friend, Monica, and the girls are rallying to form a plan of attack.”
“I remember Monica from Naomi and Eagle’s housewarming party. She’s the pilot who hooked up with Stocks, right?”
We all suspected, but nobody knew that for sure. “Allegedly.”
He laughed. “Trust me, babe, those two boned. I think Stocks is still hung up on her. What happened? Is she okay?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. Emily didn’t want to say anything over the phone. All I know is that we’re planning to attack something.”
“Maybe it’s Stocks.”
“I know he’s your boy, but if my girls need him taken out…” I gave Spade a pointed look. The Dead Presidents might be tough, but I was learning that the women were the ones with the real power.
He chuckled. “I’m glad you’ve gotten close with the other ol’ ladies. They’re good people.”
“Yeah, me too.” I glanced at my phone to check the time. “But we have to get out of here because you’ve got shit to do. Don’t be a pussy, Tonio.”
He groaned, rolling his eyes. “I never should have let you read that letter. Okay, hearing my uncle’s words come out of your mouth does not turn me on.”
“It’s not meant to be a turn on. It’s a motivational quote.” I stood and took our plates to the sink while Spade slid his backpack over his shoulders.
“I wish you would have gotten to meet him. He would have loved you. Especially seeing all the shit you flick at me.”
I grabbed my purse. “You like it when I’m rough.”
“You like it when I’m rough.”
Yes, I did. “I don’t remember. You should be rough with me tonight and refresh my memory.” We locked up and headed out to the garage.
“Watch yourself, Jess, or I’ll be putting the dick in domination as I tie you up and paddle your ass some more.” Spade followed me to my car, opening the door for me.
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
After I got behind the wheel, I rolled down the window so he could lean in and give me a kiss. There was worry behind his eyes.
“You’ve got this, Tonio,” I assured him.
He nodded. “Oh, I know. With you by my side, how can I fail?”
My heart leapt a little and a smile tugged at my lips. “Sweet, but corny.”
“Also, true.”
He gave me one last kiss before strutting to his bike, giving me an optimal view of his sexy blue jean-clad ass. He caught me watching him and smirked at me before throwing his leg over his bike and heading out to chase his dream.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book would have never become a reality without the help and support of so many people. Special thanks to my husband, Meltarrus, our boys, and all my friends and family for letting me off the hook when I daydreamed storyline and dialog during our conversations.
Thank you, Jack Davenport, for your always impressive cover design wizardry.
Huge thanks to the incredible Gail Goldie, who once again saw my work first and saved the rest of the world from having to wade through my mistakes. I’m greatly indebted to friend and author Nicole Phoenix for her incredible edits and Brandy Glaser for her keen, capable eye. Thank you, beta and ARC readers for your edits, support, and love.
And, thank you, reader, for embarking on this journey with me!
