"What?" I asked. "Not down for a little pre-trial fun?"
"Gotta save my energy for the stand," he said. "Gotta keep my animal instinct sharp."
"How could it not be?" I asked. "You're a damn bear."
Another smirk. "How about we save the fun for after our celebratory dinner tonight?" he said. "I promise I'll make it worth the wait."
"I'm gonna hold you to that," I said, giving his cock one more squeeze.
Then, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Carter took it out and glanced at the screen. "That's Taggart," he said. "He and Emily are here."
A bit of tension formed in my gut, but I was ready. "Then let's do it."
We met Emily and Taggart down in the silver SUV that was to take us to the shift court. Emily and I gave each other a tight hug. The poor girl had been through a lot—more than I'd been-, but she was getting strong with each passing day and was just as eager to put these creeps away as I was.
Soon the car pulled up to the skyscraper where the trial was to be held, and the four of stepped out of the car.
"Ready to do this?" Carter asked, taking my hand.
"Sure am," I said.
Carter nodded, and we were off.
And it was true, but more than Carter knew. We'd been through much together, and we had more still to go through. But there was one thing I knew for certain: With him at my side, I could do anything. Standing before the front doors to the tower, I stopped Carter one more time. Looking deep into his eyes, I took his hands and held him close.
"I love you, baby," I said.
"And I love you."
We kissed, and there was nothing more to be said.
