Stolen to Remember - Alexa Riley Page 0,4

under. I only woke up when Kade lifted me from the bed and put me in his lap while the plane landed. I think I dozed off again even then.

I watch his brother Xander follow us off the plane. I’m not sure if he likes me much, and when his eyes meet mine I turn my head to bury it into Kade’s neck. I haven't gotten much of a feel for his other brother, Vaughn. He is the most laidback of the bunch at the moment, but I swear all of these men have a tense mood around them.

“Are you hungry?” Kade asks me for the hundredth time and I shake my head.

“Love, you have to eat.” He lets out a long sigh as he slides into a car and the door shuts behind us. “I’ll have something brought to our room and you can try a bite for me,” he encourages. I don’t know what possesses me but I give his neck a small playful bite to tease him. I expect him to laugh but he groans instead. I kiss the spot as heat settles in my belly.

“Sorry,” I lie. I’m not sorry at all. I enjoy being this close to him and for some reason teasing him feels natural. With the way I’ve seen him bark orders at everyone maybe I should be scared to do it, but I’m not.

“I mean real food.” He turns his head to kiss the side of my face. I wiggle in his lap, feeling his hard cock wedged between us, and it makes me pause for a moment. I’m thankful that my face is buried in his neck when he whispers something about me sending him into an early grave.

“I will try and eat.” I sit back to look at my husband, and no matter how many times I gaze at Kade it’s still hard to believe this man is mine.

My chest warms when I look at him so I must love him. I feel safe in his arms but still I remember nothing. The only thing I can go off of is how I feel when I’m near him and I’m trusting that. I also know when I look at X or Vaughn I feel nothing. They’re my brothers-in-law so shouldn't I feel some kind of way about them? No spark comes and it’s almost like I don’t really know either of them at all.

I watch some of the worry leave Kade’s face because I’ve agreed to eat something. “I feel fine,” I try and reassure him as his hand reaches up to cup my face.

“I was so scared you’d never wake up.” His words come out rough and I can see the pain in his eyes. He really does love me. This time I turn my head and kiss his palm.

“If I didn't know any better I’d think this was all a dream,” I admit. “I wake up not remembering anything, but I have a handsome husband who loves me and who has swept me away to a private island he and his family own. I’m guessing we’re rich?” I try to tease.

“We own,” he corrects, but he doesn’t smile. Serious Kade is back. “What’s mine is yours, love.”

I lean toward him, offering my mouth to him, thinking he’s going to kiss me. I somehow know a kiss will lighten his mood. Our eyes lock but he pauses as his eyes flick to my lips. I lick them and my heart starts to race. I’m sure I’ve kissed him a thousand times before but to me this is my first kiss ever. It feels natural to tilt my head back and wait, but still his eyes only linger on my lips.

“Are you going to kiss your wife?” The hand that’s still cupping my face moves so his thumb can trace my bottom lip.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Something flashes in his eyes and my stomach tightens with excitement, going straight to my core. A memory tickles the edge of my mind and I try to grab on to it, but the car door opens and suddenly pulls me back to reality.

“We’re here, sir,” the man holding the door says, and I think I recall Kade calling him King. I saw him at the hospital and I wonder if he was on the plane too. I’m pretty sure he’s security, but there are so many things I don’t know. Like why my husband has security to begin with.

Kade steps
