And she meant everything to us.

“We’re not going anywhere,” I promised her. She might leave in a few months, but we weren’t going anywhere. Hopefully, she didn’t either, but that was up to her.

Aisling held my gaze for a moment before leaning forward and kissing me softly. The kiss was innocent at first, but as her lips started to move against mine, she became needier. Her hand brushed over my shaved head as our kiss deepened.

“Keep me in your arms,” she said.

I nodded and turned her over onto her other side. I pressed my chest against her back, letting my hand roam up and down her arm in a comforting motion.

“I won’t let you go,” I promised her.

Aisling was quiet for a few seconds before finally speaking.

“I’m glad we’re like this now… close. I thought you wouldn’t ever want to get close to me,” she admitted.

I frowned as my hand paused on her elbow. I couldn’t exactly blame her for thinking that way when I was trying my hardest to not get close to her. To not put myself in a position to get hurt. I failed, but I was grateful for that.

“You’re one of the best things that has ever happened to me,” I told her, feeling her tense in surprise. I brushed her hair behind her ear before leaning closer. “You’re not on the outside of our world. You’ve become a huge part of it.”

Aisling slowly turned around to face me, tears glistening in her eyes.

“Really?” she asked, sounding choked up.

I smiled a little and nodded, resting my hand on her warm cheek.

“We just need you to trust us. Your safety and the baby’s safety are our top priorities. No matter what, everything is going to be okay,” I promised her, not wanting her to fear a thing. Not when she had all of us around to protect her.

Aisling held my gaze for a few moments before smiling and nodding.

“I trust all of you,” she replied as she placed her hand over mine, her bracelets slightly sliding down her wrist. “Thank you.”

I leaned closer and captured her lips in a slow, tender kiss, taking my time to feel and taste her. She felt so soft against my lips, her sweet warmth melting in my mouth. I couldn’t get enough, but I soon felt her relax in my arms.

“Tired?” I asked once I pulled away.

Aisling laughed softly and nodded.

That didn’t surprise me. She was tired a lot, but I didn’t mind her falling asleep in my arms where I could hold her and make sure that she was safe.

“Get some sleep. I’ll be right here,” I told her.

Aisling’s eyes started to flutter shut as I wrapped my arms around her.

“Promise?” she mumbled sleepily.

Nothing could pull me away from her right now. Not when I knew about the danger lurking out there.

“Promise.”

Aisling

It took a little pushing, but I managed to convince the guys to take me down the road to a little café so that I could get tea with Madison.

It had been a while since we last saw each other, and I wanted to catch her up on things before the baby came. Which was going to be very soon.

“Don’t leave the café, okay? Creeps roam the streets,” Auden warned me as he walked me down the street to the café, keeping his hand on my back like he couldn’t bear to not be touching me. I certainly didn’t mind that.
