My heart warmed. “I like that.”
“Good.” She gestured to the black Ghost that pulled up behind us. “They’ll be riding in that one.”
“Okay. But, when I am not around, they ride in the car with you. You must remain safe.”
“I agree.” She smirked. “And you will need your own car too. What do you want?”
I grinned. “You will be buying it for me?”
“Of course.”
I chuckled.
She frowned. “What?”
“I am not accustomed to a woman buying me a vehicle.”
“I’m not just some woman. I’m your future wife.”
“Very true.” I leaned forward and brushed my lips against hers. “I must remember that things will be different when it comes to you.”
“Damn right you better remember.” She pecked my lips. “What color Ghost do you want?”
I gazed at my breathtaking fiancé. “Red. Of course.”
“Of course.”
“Surprisingly, red has become my new favorite color.”
“Damn right it has.” She chuckled.
The driver sped us away.
I wrapped one arm around her shoulders and slipped my other hand to her dress, raising the bottom up to expose her sexy thigh.
“You are a vision.” I breathed in her lush perfume. “I love the fact that when we walk into the meeting spot, you will be the most breathtaking and dangerous woman in the space.”
Her lips curled into a knowing smile.
A surge of excitement raced through my veins. I slipped my fingertips along her thigh.
A low moan left her.
“You were exhausted last night—”
“From your cock.”
I chuckled. “Yes. From my cock.”
“I want more tonight.”
“Trust me, Kash.” My body heated. “You will get this cock a lot earlier than tonight.”
She licked her lips.
“However,” I moved my finger from her thigh. “I want a more expanded explanation on your relationship with Gypsy.”
She blinked. “What?”
“You said teenage love. The way he looked at you last night, it appeared that his need for you was still bubbling and boiling in his heart. To him it wasn’t just some teenaged love.”
“It’s all history, Santino.”
“History that I want to know.”
She looked away. “What do you want to know?”
“Everything.” I went back to playing with her thigh.
She looked back at me and moved my hand.
I quirked my brows. “Never move my hand.”
“I need to focus.”
A devilish smile spread across my face. “Still, you will be punished for that later.”
She grinned. “I may enjoy that.”
“You will.” I placed my hand on my lap. “But back to my question.”
The grin left her face.
“How did you meet Gypsy was it due to the war?”
“No.” She shook her head. “What I should explain is that the Killer Crows and the Coffin Cheaters go back pretty far.”
“Really?”
She nodded. “Back when our ancestors fled the Week of Blood, the massive group separated. My ancestors journeyed far out to Cloud Mountain which is one of the mountains that surround the Coffin Cheaters valley.”
“The valley that is difficult to enter?”
“Yes. Everyone calls it Hidden Valley. It’s completely surrounded by tons of mountains. There is clearly some road that goes into it but no one has discovered this road.”
I leaned back in the seat. “Very interesting. Finding this road will be my first point of business.”
“If we can get into their valley, then we would be leveled in power.”
“So, your ancestors settled on Cloud Mountain after the massacre in Crownsville. That was how they met the Coffin Cheaters.”
“I wouldn’t say settled, I would say temporarily camped there.”
“Okay.”
“After weeks of them being there, the Coffin Cheaters crept up on them with weapons and wanted to know why they were over there. My people explained what happened in Crownsville.”
“And the Coffin Cheaters were sympathetic?”
“It seemed that way. The story goes that the Coffin Cheaters gazed at them for several silent minutes, then eventually lowered their weapons, and Killer Crows were allowed to remain on the mountain.”
“And then they became friends?”
“Very tense ones. Some of the Killer Crows were allowed to go into the valley with the Coffin Cheaters leader. His name was Dakota, and was Gypsy’s great grandfather.”
“Why were they taken into the valley?”
“Dakota offered food and of course my people were hungry.” Kashmere’s face tensed. “They were blindfolded when they were taken into the valley.”
“Very smart.”
“Once they got in, many claimed that the valley was this massive space full of men, women, and children. Apparently, the valley is half the size of Paradise City.”
“Very interesting.”
“The Coffin Cheaters gave them tons of cooked meat and took them back to Cloud Mountain.” Kashmere sighed. “Because of that, Killer Crows ate for several days. However. . .”
“Yes?”
“Their stomachs never really became accustomed to the meat. Some grew sick. So. . .then it occurs to the few Killer Crows that went into the valley that they never remembered seeing livestock.”
I raised my eyebrows.
“Days later, the Coffin Cheaters returned to visit my people and bring them more food. Killer Crows respectfully asked what sort of meat it was—cow, chicken, mule, horse. . .”
“What type of meat was it?”
