I opened my mouth and said the first words that popped into my head, “Are you sure?”
He nodded with complete conviction. “Yes. Yes. I’m tired of this life. I’m tired of the whole thing. I’m tired of the violence and the death and the backstabbing. I’m tired of looking over my shoulder to figure out who my friends are. I want to settle down in the suburbs somewhere, raise a bunch of noisy little kids, and live happily ever after. I want to spend my life with you and I’ve already fucked up so much of it. I can’t fuck this up, too.”
I bit my lip. I wanted so desperately to believe it. “Can you even do that? Is suburbia even possible for you?” I said it half as a joke, but neither of us were laughing.
He let out a shaky breath. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything. But I know I love you, Lucy, and I want to try. I think we can make it work.”
I thought it over and, though there was still a piece of me that doubted he could really do this, I wanted him so desperately that I cracked a smile and nodded. “Well, okay,” I said, doing my best to sound serious, though the teasing note was already starting to filter in. I batted my lashes at him. “But you have to keep the motorcycle.” A grin began to spread across his face as I winked at him. “There’s nothing sexier than a man on a motorcycle.”
He actually laughed at that and then he swept me up into his arms, kissing me feverishly. He began carrying me back towards the house. I giggled, throwing my arms around his neck and hanging on.
“Where are we going? I thought we were leaving?”
He nodded his head. “We are. But I have to get the money and—”
“What money?”
He winked at me. “The stash I’ve been collecting—just in case.”
“And what else are we doing besides getting this super-secret emergency money?”
“I’m going to take all your clothes off and make sure you remember why you’re giving me another chance.”
We stumbled inside and didn’t bother heading upstairs to the bedroom. He tossed me down onto the couch and tore off his shirt, revealing the hard muscles that lay beneath. I started working at my own clothes, only to have his hands come down and join mine. They slipped beneath my t-shirt, trailing over the soft skin there until he found my breasts. He fondled them, massaged and pinched them as my hands went to his belt buckle. I got it undone and managed to get his zipper down as his lips went to my neck, nuzzling me.
We couldn’t stop our hands from roaming, feeling places we hadn’t had time to explore lately, places I’d missed.
His pants came off and my shorts followed. He was already hard and I let my hand slide down to feel his stiff member, stroking him only twice before he was groaning and too desperate to be inside me to allow me to continue.
He moved so he was positioned at my entrance. I felt the head of him press against me, parting my lips to slip inside. His eyes met mine, shining with lust and something new. Hope for a better future. Then he thrust his entire length inside me and I cried out, my hands reaching for him, clutching at him.
I clung to him, trying not to think of the bad things that had been swirling around in my world for months now. I pushed all of that to the side and focused on the feel of him inside me. He began thrusting and I held tight to him, raising my hips to meet him as best I could, letting my voice ring out through the empty house as we brought each other the kind of pleasure that you can only find when you’re in love.
He pushed himself to the edge, releasing inside of me and I had a strange thought.
What if I get pregnant?
It wasn’t something I’d ever let myself think before, because I couldn’t deal with the idea of bringing a child into this life of violence, worrying how that child would work through it. But I hadn’t had my birth control during the time I’d been held by Blade. And I hadn’t taken it once I got back.
Was I ready for something like that?
I didn’t have much more time to think about it, though, because I had other things I needed to do. Things we needed to do. We took the time to shower, then we got in the car. I stuck a letter in the mail for my mom and told her to tell Becky and Thunder goodbye. Max got his money, enough that I knew we’d be okay for a long time. We'd have enough time to figure things out, to start somewhere new, to have a real life.
For the first time in forever, I was excited for the road ahead of us. I was excited at the prospect of living in a world without violence.
I was ready to go.

I told him hell no.
So he bent me across his desk and asked once more.
And when I saw the size of his… proposal…
I couldn’t say no again.
Because the kingpin always gets what he wants.
And he’s decided he wants me.
Not just once, either – he wants me every way possible.

Bent, kneeling, begging, pleading.
Over and over again.

Because now he owns everything:
My business.
My body.
And the baby in my belly.

Biker Baby Daddy: Renegade Devils MC
HE’S A STRANGER, A KILLER… AND MY BIKER BABY DADDY.
The second our eyes met, I knew I would let him take me.
I didn’t know his name or his past, but I knew I belonged to him now.
Our tryst was perfect – until it all came tumbling down.
Now, I’ve got his baby in my belly – and his name at the top of my hit list.
Our names were a secret.
So was everything else about us:
What we did, where we lived, who we worked for.
All that mattered was the sex.
Anonymous, hot, addictive.
Submitting to him was the best drug I’d ever tasted.
But the delicious mystery can only last so long.
Especially now that there’s a baby in the mix.
I should’ve known better than to let the biker take me unprotected.
I’m a mafia princess, for God’s sake.

My sister was my world.
And when a monstrous villain took her from me, my world ended.
I don’t care about anything anymore.
Anything except revenge.
I was this close to getting it, too – an eye for an eye, a life for a life.
Until Torch stopped me.
He’s being paid to protect the man I want to kill.
That makes us enemies, as far as I’m concerned.
He certainly screws me like he hates me.
But I give back as good as I get.
Because I won’t let anything come between me and the man I have to kill.
Not even a sexy bad boy like Torch.
Whatever price he demands, I’ll pay it.
Even if it means letting him put his seed in my belly.
The Dom’s Baby: The Caliperi Family Mafia
I WANTED HIS PROTECTION. INSTEAD, HE TOOK ME UNPROTECTED.
I was desperate for a safe haven.
But it threw me right into his lap.
He wasn’t happy with my body alone.
He needs me to beg for him, plead for him… and carry his baby for him.
When you grow up like I do, you take safety in whatever form you can get it.
I thought the brothel would get me off the streets.
Maybe put some money in my pocket.
It got me off, alright… but not in the way that I anticipated.
When a mobster’s eye lands on me, I can’t run.
I can’t hide.
I can only say “Yes, sir,” and follow him into his shadowy bedroom.
The things he demands from me in there are dark and twisted.
But there’s a part of me that loves it.
A part of me that wants more.
At least, until I find out what the Dom is really after:
A baby of his own.
And I’m the lucky girl he’s chosen to carry it.
The Don’s Bride: Rainieri Family Mafia
THE DON CLAIMED ME AND I DIDN’T DARE SAY NO.

And the new Don has decided I belong to him.

And his ring on my finger.
I never belonged in this world.
I’m a nice girl, not a mafia princess.
But my family needed me to work, and this was the best I could
do.
I just wasn’t ready for it to all blow up so soon.
With the old Don’s sudden death, his son is now in charge.
Ryder is everything that terrifies me.
Arrogant. Violent.
But oh, God… so, so sexy.
He’s got hands capable of breaking a girl like me.
And on his first day in charge of the family, he lets me know that that’s exactly what he has in mind.
I don’t have a choice in the matter.
