Till Death: Deep Six Security Series Book 1 (26 page)

“Logan,” she whispered hoarsely, that burn in her eyes returning tenfold.

He stepped forward and put a finger over her mouth.  “Let me talk,” he said, and the emotion in his voice brought a tidal surge of the same inside of her. 

Susan nodded and Logan reached in his pocket, then sucked in a deep breath.  Letting it out slowly, as he sank to his knees, he took her left hand in his and slid Bunny’s ring onto her finger.  “I’m an idiot, baby.  Slade is right—I let you go—and that has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life.  I need Bunny in my life to make me laugh, Susan to piss me off and keep me fucking straight.  And you, sweet cheeks, to make my boring, workaholic ways seem much less appealing.  I’m a useless bastard without you, Susan.”

She didn’t want to ask, but she had to.  “What do you need Cee Cee for?  When you said her name, there was something in your voice that said she means something to you, Logan.”

His brows slammed down over his eyes.  “My sister?” he asked.

Holy crap, she felt like a moron.  All this time she’d been jealous of the woman, and now to find out she wasn’t his lover, but his freaking sister.  Why had she automatically assumed that woman was his lover anyway? 

Because women in love were very protective of their men.  And Susan was definitely in love with Dave Logan.  A sense of relief and elation floated through her.  “Sister?” Susan repeated with a laugh.  “I didn’t even know you had one.”

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, sweet cheeks.  But if you’ll give me the next hundred years or so, I will be happy to fill you in.  I love you, Susan.  I’ve never said those words to another woman in my life, and I have a feeling I never will.  You’re it for me, baby.  Till death do us part, or until we kill each other, whichever comes first.  Will you give me that?”

Susan’s heart disintegrated in her chest, swelled then melded back together making it feel too full to hold the organ.  She eased down to her knees and grabbed his face.  “I live in Texas, so I have a shotgun and a shovel.  I can definitely give you the death part if you try to let me go again,” Susan said with a watery laugh.

Logan didn’t laugh, his smile faded and his eyes darkened. “If I promise never to let you go again, will you use that shotgun to watch my six for the rest of our lives, baby?  Do you love me, Susan?”

“I do, Dave Logan.  I will always have your six, seven, eight, nine and ten, if you’ll have mine” she said, her voice filled with emotion.  “Till death do us part, or we kill each other,” she whispered over his mouth, before she kissed him.
