Status Updates From Savage Rising (Redemption H...

Her daughter flew past her and jumped into Zac’s arms. He seemed a little stunned but easily picked her up, a giant smile on his face as he held her close. Olivia still had some fears because hey, she was human. But this man had stolen her heart when he’d come up with the plan to do the turkey play. That was the kind of man worth fighting for…worth everything.

He’d been waiting for this, for her, it felt like a lifetime. Who was he kidding? He’d never even thought someone like her existed for him. Olivia was this slice of heaven and he felt damn lucky to know her.

Trust me. If anyone breaks anyone’s heart, she’ll destroy mine.” Skye looked sideways at him but he wouldn’t meet her gaze. Admitting to Olivia how he felt, actually saying the L word, had been hard enough. He hadn’t been lying. He’d never said those words to a woman before. He hadn’t thought he could actually feel them, love someone like he did her.

Zac wrapped his arm around her tighter and was pleased when she leaned into his hold and placed her own hands over his. He wasn’t under the illusion that it meant anything to her but he’d take what he could get. Because he wasn’t giving up on them. This woman was his and he planned to claim her forever.

Olivia just scooted closer to Savage. He might be a jerk too, but the devil you knew and all that. And at the end of the day, she might be hurt by what he’d said to Brooks, but she still trusted him to have her back. And she couldn’t say he’d lied to her. He’d been honest about what he had to offer: nothing.

He told himself to look away from Olivia but it was hard to. Hell, impossible. He wasn’t sure what was wrong with him, but something about her compelled him, pulled him to her. And since they’d shared that kiss, he couldn’t get it out of his mind. She’d made the sexiest little sounds as she’d arched her body against his. She hadn’t been acting or pretending either.

All Skye had told him so far was that this Kyle Neely thought Olivia was bringing in a male partner, that her ex-husband was a dick, her deceased mom was Korean, her dad was alive, and she was a single mother. Skye hadn’t told him how stunning she was.

Olivia was wearing sunglasses inside—to hide the bruise forming on her eye—and she’d shown up unannounced. Before she could answer, her daughter signed to Skye, telling her that a bad man hurt Mommy. Yeah, that about summed it up.

Wow Savage moves fast, but Olivia keeps beating him to the punch. Liking her badass persona a lot even if she's a mom too. Gonna be interesting to see Savage fall hard for a woman like her.
