So I'm back bitches! I am truly sorry for making you wait this long for an update but every single time I sat down to write something nothing would magically come to me. I wrote this chapter in literally 4 hours after I got some advice from a certain special someone.

As a reward for your patience I am giving you all a very M chapter don't like it, don't read it.

Disclaimer-I don't own anything. Santa didn't bring me Jai Courtney last year so I'm going to try to be extra good this year

TRIS POV

"You know, I never pictured you as a cuddle bear," I said as we watched the sky change from blue to pink streaked. Eric slowly lifted his head from its spot on my stomach where he had been almost sleeping.

"And if you ever tell anyone I will take away your nice new helmet that I may or may not have ordered for you this morning," he said meeting my eyes. Eric placed small kisses on my stomach trying to get me to squirm against him.

He had pulled his pants and boxers back up but hadn't buttoned or zipped the pants. Mine were still thrown to the side of the blanket along with my shirt. My bra was the only thing covering me. His lips were moving downwards when his phone let out a harsh ring. He instantly went into 'Boss Mode' as I liked to think of it.

"What?" He growled into the phone as he sat up completely. He listened for a moment and then glanced at me.

*******LEMON********

"I think things will be changing in the near future with the bar and a few of my other holdings. I want to get Coulter Construction back in business because I will be bringing another person in to help me handle things. Get a meeting with John set up for tomorrow and we will go from there. Have Larry meet with me tomorrow sometime also. I'll be at the Agency tomorrow morning so set everything up there," he said as he ran his fingers over my left leg distractedly. I bent my leg up and parted my thighs a bit more, then ran my hands over my breasts and down my stomach. Eric's fingers stopped for a moment when I let out a breathy moan as my fingers ran down my sensitive skin to the place I needed the most.

"Get the meetings set up Len, I'm about to be very busy fucking my girl so don't call back," Eric snapped and then threw his phone to the side. He moved so that he was between my legs sitting back on his heels as he watched my fingers play.

"What do you think you're doing Tris?" He asked quietly. I moaned as I gently pinched my clit and a nipple at the same time.

"Oh, nothing, just-" I was cut off when he lunged up, brushing my hands to the side, replacing my fingers with his while he kissed me hard and hungry. He used his hand to set up a brutal pace while he flicked my clit each stroke with his thumb.

"Just making sure that you were nice and wet for me? 'Cause I was going to take my time with you this time but you've been bad and started without me," He growled in my ear as I arched up into him. "Do you know what happens to bad girls Tris?" He asked, pulling his fingers away and making me cry out in frustration because I was so close.

"Answer me Tris. Do you know what happens to bad girls?"

"No," I wailed reaching for him but he pinned my hands over my head.

"They get fucked hard," he growled and bit down on my neck. The moment his teeth left my skin he flipped me over and I was placed on my knees with my arms pinned behind my back. Eric spread my legs further and entered me in one thrust making me cry out again.

Eric held me in place as he set a pace that I had no hope to match even if I could move. If I had thought we had been loud before then now there was no comparison. I couldn't control the sounds that were coming out of me, and Eric, he was an animal. He had roughly grabbed my hands when he flipped me but he held them together gently enough that I wouldn't have bruises. With the pace he set I knew we weren't going to last much longer. I could feel my own orgasm coming fast, Eric must have felt it too because he let go of my hand and leaned over my back.

"You better cum with me," he growled as he bit the other side of my neck. He pushed me over the edge when his fingers pinched my clit hard. I knew I shouted his name as I came but I wasn't prepared to hear what slipped out of his mouth. Eric pulled me down beside him as he fell from behind me.

**********END OF LEMON*******

"Say that again," I said gasping for breath. Eric turned me so that I could see his face. He leaned down and gently kissed me.

"I love you Tris," he repeated. He kissed me again. I pulled him closer and buried my face in his chest.

"I think I love you too Eric," I mumbled. I was suddenly scared, I had never told anyone that I had loved them, what was scarier was that I did truly love Eric.

We were still for a while until Eric's stomach let out a loud grumble. I looked up at Eric and giggled.

"I think that is a sign that we should get up," I said. Eric groaned but nodded. Then a wicked smile crossed his face.

"Good luck finding all of your clothes!" He laughed jumping up and grabbing his shirt from the ground. He was dressed before I had managed to fix my stupid bra since all he had to do was pull up his pants and put on his shirt. It took me so long to find one of my shoes that Eric had already picked up the blanket and put it in the truck and had come back to help me find it. Once I was finally dress I jumped up on Eric's back and he gave me a piggy back ride to the truck so that I wouldn't trip or risk loosing a heel in the tall grass.

It was dark when we got back into town. We made the decision to stop and pick up a pizza on the way back to the house so that we wouldn't have to cook tonight. Eric went into his office when we got to the house and then met me in the living room for dinner. He handed me a laptop and a flat box.

"Your new phone came while we were out," he said around a mouthful of pizza.

"Do you make it a habit of talking with your mouth full or is that just with me?" I asked as I unpacked the new phone. He had upgraded my phone from a Samsung S3 and given me a Samsung S6 so I had plenty to play with and get used to.

"Just you," he replied before stealing the laptop from my side of the couch. He opened it and logged on.

"So, I had a crazy thought earlier. I know you heard me when I said that I wanted to bring in another person to help me run things, and that person is you Tris. I can't be everywhere at once. I need someone who I can trust watching over things so that I can focus on other things. Lately, my street business has slacked off pretty bad because your father has been making plays for my territories and now is the time to strike back if you're interested. I don't want you to think I'm forcing you this is completely up to you." His voice was serious and looking at him I saw that he was in boss mode. I looked at the computer screen, he had pulled up a spreadsheet of all of his businesses and holdings and what they earned per week.

"These are all of my legitimate holdings at the top, the ones on the bottom I use to help front the other side of things. I try not to mix them up but for example, the Briar Bar, your workplace is listed at the top as legit, but the night I met you I was there to supervise a drug deal. Not something I would usually do but the buyer wanted a mutual meeting ground, something that he didn't think I owned and that is how I ended up there that night. I want you to help me supervise the legit part of this for now, I know that you have been working on your degree in business management so that would be a plus. But I want you with me at all times when something big is going down. Looking at you, I would never expect for you to be able to fight like you do and I don't think that anyone else would either. I don't like putting you in danger but I have a feeling that you can take care of yourself just fine if something happened." Eric set the laptop on the coffee table and turned to look at me. "So what do you say?"

I looked up into his eyes for a moment and then back to the laptop. He was right, my schooling would be valuable to the legit side and my training would be a benefit to keeping him safe and slowly helping him tear my father and brother down block by block until their territory was gone. I met his eyes again and I couldn't help the grin spread across my face.

"I'm in. But I want you to understand that I am not the little girl you thought I was the night you saved me from those two goons. I don't have to hide from the world now and I can stop pretending to be who I am not," I said. Eric tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear and cradled my cheek in his hand.

"I want you to be whoever you are Tris. Don't hide from me and I won't hide from you. I love you no matter what." I leaned forward and kissed him.

"Well then, let's get started. But first question, where did you go to get your tattoos and who did them for you?"
