  For the first time since she told him the news a flicker of hope and happiness moved across his face. His lips teased up in a tiny grin. “You know, if we weren’t already married, I’d ask you to marry me.”

  “Well,” she said, her lips splitting into a truly amused grin, “it’s a good thing we already got that covered.”

  Chapter 19

  The smell of burgers and hot dogs wafted through the deep summer heat nearly a year later. Rocco, whose fur had almost recovered from the cast he had hobbled around in for too many months, circled the grill with his tongue lolling out of his mouth. His tail thumped against the dirt in hope.

  “What do you want?” Kellan asked, flopping down in a nearby chair and resting the heel of one foot on the toe of the other. “You know burgers are bad for you. Emma says so all the time.”

  “What?” a low country drawl said as the meat flipped on top of the grill. “A li’l bit’a meat never killed none of my hounds I tell ya. Gave them just a little bit with their dinner. Besides, what is in all that fancy meat at the grocery store? Tofu? Naw.”

  “Whatever you say, Wayne.”

  The man turned around, the Prospect patch clear on his chest. His shot hair was half hidden beneath an honest to god cowboy hat. He tipped it in Kellan’s direction and gave a big grin. “I mean, what would happen if I just happened to drop a piece on the ground?”

  Rocco circled around, his tail flopping back and forth, back and forth. He gave a yip of demand before a fat piece of meat rolled of the grill and landed at his feet. Rocco was just about to demolish it when a golden blur beat him to it.

  Kellan laughed. “Look at that, old dog, the pup beat you two it.”

  The younger dog, who had the look of a golden retriever and something far hairier rolled, onto his back, and onto the discarded burger.

  “Samantha!”

  The pup, hearing her name called with a very stern voice, sprang to its feet and rolled over. A large hunk of food clung to her fur. She gave a shrill and youthful bark before charging across the yard towards the open backdoor and the woman who stood there. His heart did a slow twitch in his chest that made him feel breathless.

  The real Samantha was locked up in the women's state prison. Apparently she had been helping the brothers sell of plenty of young pretty girls to the highest bidder. Kellan hadn't understood why Emma had wanted to name a good dog after such a horrible person, and when he had ask she had just fixed him with a smile and shrugged. “Because she's a bitch.”

  His woman had the strangest sense of humor.

  Emma had tossed her hair into a messy tail at the top of her head, decked out in medical scrubs. A simple golden band sat on her finger, matching the one that sat on his. Her work outfit was pink, and made her face look flushed and happy. Though that might have also been because of the baby positioned on her hip.

  The hair was as black and curly as his own, but the eyes that twinkled out of that tiny, round face were the same blue as Emma’s.

  “Can you come help me?”

  It wasn’t really a question, and they both knew it. He tilted his head at Wayne and raised a beer in salute. “Man the grill. My woman wants me.”

  Wayne tipped his hat again and called out for Sargent, a middle-aged man whose arms were speckled with Naval images, including the Marines symbol on his visible bicep. He dragged a much younger man, nearly as skinny as Kellan’s thigh, to plop down around the grill in camaraderie.

  He headed inside, taking his time to get there. He paused long enough near the back door to tell Phantom to make sure the new guys didn’t set anything of fire. There were only six Beasts now, and he didn’t much want to lose any of them. There had been enough of that.

  “Hey,” Rudy said when Kellan stepped through the door, “your wife was looking for you.”

  “So I heard, where’s yours?”

  “Being a whale,” Hannah called from the living room. She hefted not only herself and a child, but a very pregnant belly. “My feet feel huge.”

  “You should be resting.” Rudy tried to guide his wife into a chair, but she was having none of it.

  “I’m pregnant, not dying. I want a salad and five hamburgers.” She placed a hand on her back. “Kellan, Emma was—”

  “Looking for me, so I hear.” He stopped and gave Hannah a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t you let this big oaf push you around.”

  “Never.” She winked at him and motioned him on. “Get on with you, Emma looked ready to throttle something.”

  He made his way down the hall and found Emma in the bedroom. For a moment all he did was watch her. Childbirth and a comfortable life had added a bit of curve to her hips. He fought an urge to bury his teeth in them. Being a mom definitely suited her.

  The baby was laid out on the bed, a diaper and diaper cream laid up next to him. He had one foot gripped in one hand, and was currently trying to bring it to his mouth.

  Emma adjusted her ponytail, plopped her keys into a bag, and turned to him.

  “You rang?” he asked, leaning casually against the doorway.

  “Took you long enough,” she fussed. She was distracted as she turned to look in the mirror. “It’s your turn to change Leon. I need to get ready for work.”

  Kellan smirked and wandered over to the baby, tugging the plump foot out of his toothless mouth. “Hey there. Hey there, little guy.”

  He took his time with Leon. It had taken him weeks to master the act of putting a diaper on a squirming baby. Kids, he had decided after the first month, had no desire to wear clothes or do much of anything. When everything was back where it should be, he hefted Leon up to give him a hug. Emma was watching him. There were tears in her eyes.

  “What?” he asked. “What’s wrong?”

  “You are such an idiot.”

  He blinked. “I missed something. What happened.”

  She slapped a hand against his arm. “You thought you were going to be a bad father. You’re an idiot.”

  He laughed softly and wrapped an arm around her back, tugging her close. “I’m sorry.”

  “I love you,” she whispered, pulling his head down to give him a kiss.

  “I love you, too.”

  CORRUPTED: A Dark Bad Boy Romance (The Angel’s Keepers MC)

  Daddy’s about to show his pet how it feels to be corrupted.

  There’s a price to pay for venturing where you don’t belong.

  And she’s about to learn that the hard way.

  I’m going to f*ck a baby into her sexy little body…

  Just to show her that purity lost can never be regained.

  Angels like her should stay far away from hellholes like this.

  But Little Miss Priss thought she could handle herself.

  Too bad she wasn’t ready for me.

  To be fair, not many girls are.

  I’m too much for any lone woman to handle.

  With biceps like tree trunks and a c*ck like a python –

  not to mention a world-class filthy mouth to go along with it –

  a night with me leaves scars that last a lifetime.

  And yet, she wanted to take me for a ride.

  I let her think she had a chance of walking away unscathed.

  And then I did what I do best:

  F*cked her until she could barely walk.

  But this one deserved an extra special treat…

  My baby in her belly.

  If only I knew all the trouble that would bring.

  WRECKED: The Beasts MC

  I’M GOING TO WRECK HER TIGHT LITTLE BODY.

  A wife was the last thing I wanted.

  But when your MC president gives you an order, you don’t question it.

&nbs
p; Fine. I’ll marry his daughter.

  But while she’s mine, I’m going to f*ck her ‘til she shatters.

  President Mac is right about one thing:

  His daughter Emma will be safe from his enemies as long as she’s my wife.

  But she won’t be safe from my strong hands or my massive c*ck.

  I’ve been through hell and back in my time as a rider.

  There’s not a damn man on this planet with balls big enough to challenge me.

  Under my protection, no one will lay a hand on Mac’s precious daughter.

  Except for me.

  I’m going to lay hands all over her.

  On her thighs.

  Between her lips.

  Over every gorgeous curve.

  She might be scared of me – in fact, I know she is.

  But I just don’t give a damn.

  She’s my wife.

  My toy.

  My property.

  For as long as her body can handle my darkest desires.

  His Broken Angel: Inferno Hunters MC

  Breaking this angel will be my finest work yet.

  She deserves a better man than me.

  But that won’t stop me from making her mine.

  Her ex-husband is determined to take back Ellie and her daughter.

  Too bad he’ll have to go through me to get them.

  I’ve suffered losses that would’ve destroyed a weaker man.

  I survived, but I left my emotions in the past.

  I’m all stone now.

  Cold.

  Hard.

  Unyielding.

  Until Ellie walks in.

  Seeing her awakens something in me I thought had died long ago.

  And the sight of her little daughter stirs a protective instinct I never knew I had.

  From the moment our eyes meet, I know one thing for sure:

  They both belong to me now.

  She tries to brush me off.

  She’s got demons of her own, hot on her trail, and she’s scared that I’ll only make things worse.

  But her resistance is like a drug to me.

  I’ve had a taste of her, and I’m ready for the rest.

  “No” is not an option.

  And when her ex-husband tries to recapture the family he lost,

  I know what I must do.

  These two angels are mine now.

  And not even Satan himself could take them from me.

  His Perfect Angel: Shadow Reapers MC

  I just bought my perfect angel, and now I’ll use her as I please.

  Nora’s boyfriend was a lowlife. She deserved better. She deserved me.

  So I bought her.

  Now, I’ve got her tied naked to my bed. She’ll be whatever I want her to be:

  A toy. A hobby. And a vessel for my baby.

  Nora was a good girl in a bad situation.

  She fell for the wrong loser, and before she knew it, her life was a mess of lying to cops and suffering her scumbag boyfriend’s abuse.

  But then she walked into my MC’s den, and everything changed.

  I didn’t just want to have her; I needed to have her.

  That flawless skin deserved to bear my ink.

  That flawless mouth deserved to give me pleasure.

  And that flawless belly deserved to grow heavy with my seed.

  It didn’t take much for me to get what I desired.

  And once the money changed hands and her now-ex-boyfriend is booted unceremoniously out the door, it’s just her and I alone together.

  Her clothes will come off.

  Her legs will spread open.

  And I will use her to get the son I’ve always wanted.

  His Precious Angel: Steel Gods MC

  My precious angel will do what I say… or she’ll face the consequences.

  I’m supposed to bring her back home, whether or not she likes it.

  But Nicolette is desperate to stay away from the Steel Gods MC.

  She offers up her body to me – whatever it takes to retain her freedom.

  Now, I’m faced with a choice: do I finish the job and reel her back in – or keep her for myself?

  I’m a bounty hunter, not a detective.

  It’s not my job to ask questions.

  So, when my MC president tells me to go retrieve his runaway girlfriend, I get on my chopper and track her down.

  But it’s never that easy.

  For starters, she’s a stone-cold stunner.

  I’m having trouble sleeping at night – my head is too occupied imagining how it would feel to tear her clothes away and bend her over my bed.

  And as I follow her trail, I learn that there are secrets contained in that pretty little body.

  Secrets like hidden scars.

  Secrets like bruises from the man I’m bringing her back to.

  And beneath all of that… an unborn baby.

  I’m risking my patch and my brotherhood if I do the things I want to do to her.

  But screw it…

  This one is mine now.

  His Little Angel: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance

  I’ll slaughter anyone who lays a hand on my little angel.

  Cowards crave affection. Alphas crave control.

  The waitress seemed timid, until I showed her the power that lies in submission.

  But if I’d known who she was, I would have stayed the hell away.

  She’s the daughter of a mobster… and now, she’s pregnant with my child.

  I’m a shark in this murky underworld – cold, calculated, and as ruthless as they come.

  When I saw the innocent girl in the bar, I simply followed my instincts…

  And I feasted.

  Her moans are still echoing in my head when I leave.

  I go to my father, the most powerful mob boss in the city, only for him to drop the mother of all bombs on me.

  Isabella was no random girl, he says.

  She is the daughter of a dead mobster, and there are men out to kill her for her vast inheritance.

  I’d thought her body was merely a momentary pleasure… but as it turns out, it’s the key to the future – both hers and mine.

  I track her down just in the nick of time, fighting off two assassins to keep her safe.

  That’s the end of things, or so I thought.

  But she reveals yet another surprise.

  There’s another life at stake here:

  The baby growing in her womb.

  I’ve never had anything worth protecting before.

  But now I have two lives to safeguard.

  And if these bastards come anywhere near my little angels,

  It’ll be the last thing they ever do.

  SINNER’S PASSION: A Dark Bad Boy Romance

  I might go to hell for the things I’ve done… but I’m going to take her with me.

  I didn’t ask to be a f*cking babysitter.

  Especially not for a celebrity brat with a mouth that needs taming.

  I know it’s wrong to punish her. To tie her up. To tease, tempt, claim.

  But the thing is… I just don’t give a damn.

  I didn’t ask to be a hero. I just did what had to be done.

  I’ve never been afraid to shed blood, and this night was no different.

  Once I’d rescued the poor girl from the creep who was on top of her, my job was done, as far as I was concerned.

  But my MC president had other ideas.

  Before I can argue, I’m forced into following this girl around like I’m her f*cking shadow.

  I’m supposed to be a “bodyguard,” not a puppy desperate for attention.

  This sh*t is humiliating.

  And this girl pushes my buttons in all the wrong ways.

  She’d better be careful, though…

  Because if she goes too far,

  I’m going to chain her to my bed and start pushing all of hers.

  SINNER’S TOUCH: A Dark Bad Boy Romance

  I have a past I cann
ot escape.

  My ex is a criminal who refuses to leave me alone.

  I run. He finds me. He punishes me.

  I’ve been too scared to fight back… until I met Pax.

  Until I succumbed to his sinner’s touch.

  Pax is a former soldier with enough skeletons in his closet to fill a graveyard. But he’s got a jawline that could cut steel, and abs hard enough to stop a runaway train. And when he sees the hunger in my eyes…

  He pounces.

  He tells me I’m safe in his arms, and it’s so tempting to believe.

  With his hands on my waist or his mouth between my thighs, the world feels warm and safe and alive. Everything I always dreamed it could be.
