Yep, play time was over. She leaned back to look at Knight before she leaned in to give him a quick kiss on the lips.
“Go get our girl and bring her home. Make the bastard who took her hurt and hurt good!” Avery firmly told Knight as she stared him in the eyes.
She’d come to consider Delaney family. Avery wanted whoever hurt the one person who treated her like a sister to get what was coming to him.
“Ah, a woman after my own heart!”
Avery couldn’t help the shiver that came over her at those words. She loved this man more than anything.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Avery got dressed and made herself a quick bite to eat while Knight got his shower and got dressed. She’d just finished putting some peanut butter on the second piece of toast when Knight came into the room.
She leaned back into him when his arms came around her and squeezed. She turned her head and nipped his chin before kissing the spot.
“Minx!”
“And?”
“Not sure how long I’ll be. If you need anything, give me a call.”
“Go! Delaney needs her big brother’s. I’ll be fine. Come home in one piece. Don’t care how many you leave the assholes in. I love you!”
“I love you, too.”
Avery smacked Knight on the ass when he stole one of her peanut butter toasts and walked away with a laugh. She reached out and grabbed him to place a passionate kiss on his lips. When she broke away, she snuck a quick bite of the toast, giving him a wink before sauntering off towards the bathroom, dropping the shirt along the way.
When she’d gotten out of the shower, she realized she didn’t have any clean clothes to put on. Knowing Knight was busy with finding Delaney, she decided to run home really quick to get clean clothes for herself. She was going to pack an overnight bag and come straight back.
When she opened the door, she started when she saw the guard. Looking around, she figured Knight and Donovan were being overly protective.
“Oh, hi.”
“Ma’am!” Can I help you with anything?”
“I was just going to run home and grab an overnight bag with clothes. Figured I’d also grab some groceries to fix dinner for Knight and Donovan later on.”
“Aye. Mr. O’Rourke doesn’t want you alone. I will need to inform him of what’s going on.”
“Um, can’t you just go with me? Then I won’t be alone. The trip shouldn’t take us long. An hour tops. Please? I don’t want to disturb Knight since he needs to find Delaney.”
“I’m going with you!”
“I’m fine with that. Like I said, we won’t be more than an hour. I promise.”
“I get into trouble, I’m blaming you.”
“I’ll take the blame! Knight can spank my ass red!”
“More information than I needed, miss.”
“Spoiled sport.”
Avery reached back and shut the door and followed the guard down the elevator. She couldn’t help the smile on her face at the man’s shyness when she mentioned the spanking.
“Hey Cross, where are you heading?”
“Hey Blue. Taking Ms. Jones to her house to pack an overnight bag for a few days and the grocery store. What are you doing here?”
