THOR

“ T hor, I swear I’m two seconds from stabbing you,” Cara growls at me through clenched teeth.

I give her my best puppy-dog eyes, hoping to ease her anger. It doesn’t work. She narrows her eyes at me, and Tech and Sara snicker from their desks. I’m currently in the cave which I am not supposed to be, but I knew they were down here trying to get info on Thomas. At this point, I refuse to address him as my uncle. To me, he’s a soon-to-be dead fucker by my hands.

Viper made it clear that I wasn’t to make any moves on Thomas until we had a solid plan. Killing a mayor would bring a lot of heat on us. If it isn’t done smart, we risk everything. As much as I wish I could just head to Arizona, storm into his home, and put a bullet right between his eyes, I can't. I just got Maddy back and I don’t want to lose her by landing myself in jail.

I never thought I would ever get a second chance with her. Hell, I still don’t. I’m just holding on to a sliver of hope that her feelings are still there. I’ve caught her staring at me like she used to so maybe just maybe I’m not in this thing alone.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be quiet. Scouts’ honor.”

“Please,” Cara says with an eye roll. “You were never a damn Boy Scout.” She turns back to her screen and gets back to work. I have no clue what she’s doing but no one’s fingers should move as fast as hers are moving on that keyboard. The room is filled with silence for a few minutes before I start to get agitated. Tech and Sara are also in the zone.

Seriously, how can they just sit in silence like this? It’s maddening.

“Have you got anything yet?” I asked for the fifth time.

Cara’s fingers freeze. Tech and Sara chuckle from behind me. When Cara slowly turns her head to look at me, I instantly put on a pout. Again, it doesn’t work. She points for the door and growls, “Out.”

I open my mouth, but she puts her hand up, stopping me. “Thor, do you have any idea how hard it is to hack into someone’s system? Not to mention someone who has government protection. This isn’t something that can be done in the matter of twenty minutes. This takes time. I understand you want to get this ball rolling, but I need you to leave so I can focus and get this thing done.”

Dropping my shoulders, I get up and leave the cave. When I make it to the common room, Blade smiles over to Torch. “Pay up.” He laughs as he holds out his hand. Torch shakes his head and slaps a few hundreds in his brother’s hand. I narrow my eyes at them both when I make it to the couch.

“You didn’t.”

Viper chuckles with a nod. “They did. Blade bet Torch you wouldn’t last thirty minutes in the cave before getting the boot and he only bet that long because you’re her best friend.”

A few of the guys snicker, and I roll my eyes, plopping down in my chair with a sigh. “I just want to get this fucker,” I growl in frustration.

The laughter in the room dies as everyone looks on in understanding. “We know, Thor, and as soon as the tech squad gets what we need, we’ll take that fucker down,” Torch says, placing his hand on my shoulder.

“Tech squad? Does your sisters know you’ve given them that terrible name?” I snicker. A few of the guys seem just as amused as I do.

“Hell no. Sara would probably cut me and Cara, God who knows what her devious mind will drum up,” he says with a shiver.

That gets some nods of agreement around the room. My phone rings, cutting through the silence. I don’t want to look but with Madison back, I can't take any chances.

Just as I suspect, Tati is calling me for the hundredth time! I blocked her phone number yesterday, and now she’s resulted to Instagram to call me.

“Tati?” Viper inquires.

Dropping my phone back into my pocket, I blow out a frustrated breath. “Yeah, man. Her ass is calling me all day every day. I blocked her phone number and now she’s blowing me up on social media.”

“What the hell did you do to that girl?” Torch laughs.

“Nothing that I don’t do with any of the other women running through here. Her ass is acting like we were in a committed relationship.”

“Well, whatever you do, you better get a handle on that. You know what Viper and I went through,” Blade says.

“I know, man, and that’s what scares me. Candy and Ivy lost their marbles for you two. Madison isn’t a punk by any means, but she’s always had a soft heart. I don’t need Tati popping up, trying to fuck with her.”

“Then have a conversation with her. If she isn’t trying to hear what you’re saying then find another course of action,” Viper suggests.

I nod my head, thinking his words over. Eventually, I’ll have a conversation with her. Right now, my focus is completely on Madison and Thomas. Nothing else is important to me.

After a few hours of goofing off with the guys, I decide to check up on Madison. As I walk into the home, I notice how quiet it is, so I tiptoe up the stairs. Cara and Viper’s house is only this quiet when the kids are down for a nap or they're gone. I don’t want to take the chance in assuming they’re gone and risk waking them up from being too loud.

When I’m close to her room, I spot Duke and Daisy lying down in the hallway right outside her door and I hear a small giggle.

“Why thank you, Liam.”

I make it to the doorway in time to watch Liam put a Cheeto in Madison’s mouth as he smiles up at her. Looks like my little guy is sweet on her. I grin while propping myself in the doorway and watch them.

“Mad, TV.” Liam points with a yawn.

“What do you want to watch?” she asks while smoothing down his hair. Liam shrugs and Maddy grabs the remote and puts on Paw Patrol. It’s a good pick but I can tell by his sleepy eyes he won’t make it past the first two minutes. By the time the intro is over, Liam is fast asleep, snuggled up with Madison.

I might be getting ahead of myself, but I hope one day I can see her do this with our children. She is the only woman I ever wanted to have kids with. I love being a godfather but having kids of my own with Maddy was everything I always wanted. I’m broken from my stroll down memory lane when I hear Maddy’s voice.

“How long have you been here?”

Grinning, I walk to the end of the bed and sit down. “Long enough to know Liam really likes you. He barely shares his Cheetos with me.”

“No way.” She smiles at me.

“Yup. Cara is a foodie and she passed that gene down to all her kids. Believe me when I tell you, you don’t want to see any of them hangry.”

Madison giggles and quickly slaps her hand over mouth to muffle the sound. She readjusts Liam so he’s lying on the pillow in the middle of the bed. After putting a throw blanket over him, she surrounds him with more pillows, sheltering him. After she’s satisfied with her handiwork, she gets up and crooks her finger for me to follow her. She leads me down the hall to the stairs and takes a seat on the top step. I take the space beside her.

“So, how’d you end up with Liam?”

“I guess he pulled an escape move on Will and came searching for me. Will came and tried to get him, but I begged to let him stay. I wanted the company. I assured him if it became too much, I would bring him back. He really is the sweetest little boy.”

“He is. How did your phone call go?”

Madison turns to me with the brightest smile as her eyes gloss over with tears. “It was perfect. I can’t thank Cara enough. It’s not like I would ever forget what my family looked like, but…”

“I get it, Maddy. Speaking to them on the phone isn’t the same as seeing them, and soon, you’ll be able to hug them again. I promise.” I don’t think I’m making promises I can’t keep. I have full confidence that Cara, Sara, and Tech will find something we can use.

She wipes away a few stray tears. Her gaze connects with mine and something shifts between us. It’s like I can feel the air crackle. It’s intense. Deciding to test the waters, I slowly lean in, giving her time to push me away. When she doesn’t, I move in just a bit faster and then she’s moving forward, meeting me halfway.

When her lips finally touch mine, my entire world changes. I haven’t kissed anyone since her. I couldn’t bring myself to do something so intimate. In this moment, I realize something I should have always known and never doubted.

Maddy is mine .

She was meant to be my wife and the mother of my children, and if I have anything to do with it, she’ll be all those things soon.

Pressing my lips more firmly to her, she gasps. I steal the opportunity to slip my tongue in. I’m rewarded with a tiny whimper when I thrust my fingers in her hair and tilt her head to kiss her deeper. Her hands clutch my shirt as she holds on. I’ve missed this. Missed her. I try to show everything I’m feeling, hoping that it doesn’t overwhelm her and make her bolt.

I don’t know how much time goes by before she pulls away from the kiss, but we’re both panting from the lack of oxygen. When my gaze falls to her lips, they are puffy and red. She looks like she was kissed within an inch of her life.

Good.

I want her to remember how good things were between us. We were each other’s first in almost everything. The night she gave herself to me was the greatest time of my life.

“Jonah,” she rasps, while still holding on to me.

Well, I’ll be damned. My dick isn’t broken after all. I’m hard enough to pound nails. I don’t want to freak her out. I don’t know how she’ll react to seeing or feeling it, so I stand, bringing her up with me.

“I don’t want to rush you, Maddy, but I hope this means you’re willing to give us another shot.” I palm her face and make sure her gaze stays up and not down.

“I shouldn’t be giving in so quickly, but I’ve missed you, Jonah. Despite everything, you always had a piece of my heart, and I could never understand why. Now I do. My heart knew what my brain didn’t. You would never betray me like that. So yes, while I’m here, I want to see where this goes.”

I ignore that last part about while she is here because if I have my way, she’ll be here to stay. I give her another quick peck before telling her, “You just made me the happiest man alive, Maddy. I’m going to go because I meant what I said about taking this slow with you and I need to cool down. I’ll see you at dinner?”

She nods and rises on her toes for another kiss. When she pulls away, I jet down the stairs before she can see the bulge in my jeans. After I make it back to the clubhouse, I go straight to my room and lock it. Getting into the shower, I take my cock in my hand and began to stroke it. It doesn’t take long with thoughts of Maddy to having me blowing my load down the drain. Once I’m out, I get dressed with the biggest smile I’ve had in a long time. She will be mine again. Mark my words.
