Chapter 149
Kitty
It takes me less than fifteen minutes to rush upstairs and get changed into my standard faux, black leather pants and throw on a bra and a black Rolling Stones T-shirt. I pull my hair into a low ponytail and slip on some socks. My boots are downstairs.
When I get downstairs, he is still muttering and cursing under his breath. I arch an eyebrow. “Are you still going on about me not coming with you, Jett? I told you, staying here is not an option. If something has happened then I want to be part of it? Besides, I hardly think anyone has got it in for us now. Vikram promised and gave his word.”
I go up to him and stand on my tiptoes and give him a peck on the lips. He circles an arm around me. “This wasn’t what I had in mind today. How is your hangover?”
“Oh, that. Don’t worry. Let’s go. I will ride behind you. I am dropping in to see my mom afterwards. I just want to see what the guys have to say, that’s all. I promise I won’t stay for all your guy chat. Mom will be happy to see me. I also want to catch up with Alanka and then see when my father is actually coming to see us all.”
He pulls a pained face. “I don’t want to see your father, Kitty. Don’t expect me to drop everything for that man. After what he did to you, no fucking way, baby. Sorry. It is not happening.”
I get that. I truly do. If the shoe were on the other foot, I wouldn’t want to see his father either. However, my father is my father and he wasn’t always such a big asshole. I want to see him for closure more than anything and to continue moving forward with my life. I am guessing it is part of the reason my mother has also agreed to see him.
“No problem. I wouldn’t expect you to see him or play happy families with him. He isn’t getting any younger and I would like to see him before anything happens to him. He will go back to Russia and it is unlikely I will ever go back now. My life is here with you, Jett and what we build together as a team and a couple. I won’t let anything hurts us.”
He leans down and kisses my lips. “Good, because you are way too important to me, Kitty. I don’t like the idea of you seeing him or ever setting foot back in Russia. However, I do know your best friend lives there and it would be unrealistic of me to expect you never to visit her again.”
I lay a hand on his broad and firm chest. Dammit, his muscles make my mouth water. I know exactly what he has under his T-shirt and trust me ladies it is worth drooling over. Forget all those book boyfriends and the men on GQ, this man has it all.
“Don’t worry about my bestie. That woman has more money than sense, Jett. She can do the visiting here or I will meet her somewhere halfway between in Europe. Hey, how does a trip to Italy or Spain or Paris grab you?”
He releases his arm around my waist. “Let’s go, baby. I have to get to meet the guys. Paris or anywhere else that you fancy suits me just fine. Book it and I will follow wherever you lead.”
I love how romantic he can be. Honestly, you would never guess that a man like Jett could be so damn romantic. Who needs romance books when I have him?
We get to our bikes and I raise my leg up and over with ease, Jett does the same. I sneak a glance because I simply cannot help myself. There is just something about him getting on his bike. It is sexy as hell. He catches me watching him and gives me a cocky, self-assured grin before sliding his helmet on his head. “You ogling me, Kitty-Kat?”
I flick him the finger. He laughs out loud and flicks one back. I love how our relationship is easy, it flows, it’s fluid and there is none of this being hung up on how we act or whether we think we have offended the other. He is my person. He is my home and for once in my life, I feel complete and content.
Just before we set off, we both hear the roar of some low riders and turn. Guess those are the two guys that Jett organized to babysit me. They pull up and give us both a nod. One of them I recall seeing at last night’s event pulls his lid off and shakes out his shoulder length, dirty blonde hair. “Boss?”
“Hey, sorry. I mean to message Leroy back. We won’t need you both for a while. We’re heading over to HQ then Kitty here is heading over to our folk’s house. You guys think you can ride with us? There is no need to stay here.”
They glance at each other; the other one has his visor up now. They nod their heads. “Whatever you say, Maverick. You’re the boss.”
We ride in silence to the old warehouse unit with bikes parked out the front in a line. I turn off my engine and pull the key out of the ignition and swing my leg to get off the bike. Jett is already off and comes to me and takes my hand after I have removed my bike gloves. “You okay?” he asks.
“Sure, of course. Listen, I don’t need babysitting, Jett. Please don’t make me have to ride to our folk’s house with a couple of guys. If mom sees, she will only worry and trust me, mom has enough on her plate. God, I wish we could have a peaceful, quiet life you and me.”
He removes my helmet for me and places a hand at the base of my skull. His lips meet mine, my lips part to allow him entry with his tongue. We kiss for a hot few seconds making my pulse spike and my heart rate pick up before he pulls away. He kisses the corner of my lips on each side, then my nose and my forehead.
“Me too, Kitty. We will, I promise. I want our new lives to begin sooner than you realize. First, however, I have shit to sort out. And the businesses need to be managed.”
I nod; however I know that this is his life and it is the way he runs. He is a biker; he is the head of the M.C. Would it really be that easy to walk away from? Am I asking too much?
