Ashley POV I open the dressing room door and walk in pulling my luggage. I place them on the table in the center and open them. What do I need to take? I have no clue. I look at all my swimsuits and I pick up three of them and shove them into a small bag. I walk around picking up all the clothes I might need. Then I move to the shoes. I finish packing my luggage and I start packing my make-up. As I am leaving the bathroom Killian smiles at me from the bed where he is resting with only his boxer shorts. One of his arms is behind his head. His broad tattooed chest is in the open for me to enjoy. I walk to the bed drop my bag on the floor and crawl to him. Softly I kiss him on the lips and he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me to him. I can’t help but let out a small scream and I start laughing as he straddles me and starts pulling the t-shirt I’m wearing off of my body. “Babe, we don’t have time for this, I need to pack”, I let out and Killian kisses me to shut me up. I smile a
Killian POV Italy has been great, but Ashley has been working like mad since she arrived here. She had meetings and gala events and I can’t believe this is happening. She has to go alone because an Irish bloke would never be seen in those meetings. Marcello traveled here yesterday and is keeping her company while I stay in a fucking hotel room. “I know. I am sorry,” she says as she walks through the hotel room. She walks straight to me and wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me close to her for a kiss. I kiss her deeply, wrapping my arms around her waist, and her hands move to my hair. I close my eyes as she moans against my lips as my hands move down towards her ass, and I give her a hard squeeze. “What are we doing tonight?”, she asks, and I look round and smile. She rolls her eyes, pulls away from me, and smacks me in the arm. I grab her arm and pull her close to me again as I kiss her neck, and she moans against me, her body melting against mine. I take a deep breath inhali
Ashley POV “Babe, wake up”, I hear Killian whisper in my ear. I open my eyes slowly and see him smiling as he looks at me. The sun shone behind him, making him look like a blue-eyed angel. I kiss his lips softly and his hands rest on my stomach. “How are you feeling?”, he asks as he kisses my stomach and I frown looking at him. “Good”, I say and he smiles as his hand moves up and down my stomach. “What are you doing?”, I ask and he kisses me again as he whispers into my belly. I freak out and sit on the bed pulling away from him and I see it, my pregnant belly. Panic takes over and I open my eyes. I am breathing fast and heavily as Killian turns around to face me. “Was just a bad dream baby”, he whispers in the dark and I smile. We have arrived in Ireland yesterday and we have been for dinner with his “family” and today we are on our own. I can’t wait to go out exploring with Killian. “What were you dreaming about?”, Killian asks as we sit at the kitchen table after getting read
Ashley POV I look in the mirror and smile as I see myself wearing the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen, this time one I chose, this time something simple and something I will treasure for the rest of my life. I love Killian so much that I can’t wait to get this day over and done so I can be his wife. So I can be his for the rest of my days until death. Or not even then. Because I know that even if I die I will linger around him. Not letting him meet anyone else. ever. There’s a knock, on the door, and Mark and Jonah walk into the room. I smile as they walk towards me both smiling and looking at me as if I am the most beautiful woman in the world. “Wow, you look beautiful,” Mark says and I smile thanking him. “How nervous are you?”, Jonah asks and I shrug, I am not really nervous. I am more excited. I am excited about this next chapter of my life. I am excited to be Killian’s wife, I am excited to be spending the rest of my day with him. “Everything is ready, and Kill
Theo POV I can't believe that my best mate is getting married today. I am his best man with Elliot, and I can say that we never saw this day coming. I remember the day that he introduced me to Ashley, and I thought he was joking. She is nothing like the type of woman he used to go for, and He used to date the model type and not really date. He would have occasional sex with them, and that would be it. "Mate, I hope she makes you happy", Elliot says and Kill looks at him and nods his head. He is the quietest of the three of us, always deep in thought while I have verbal diarrhea. "Shall we go for a fag?" I ask, standing up and patting my pockets to find my fags. The other two stand up, following me. "I need to tell Ashley", Killian says, and Elliot moves his phone that makes a whip sound, and I can't help but laugh out loud. That is the funniest shit ever. Elliot smiles as Kill flips us the bird. We walk towards the bathroom, and he knocks on the door. "Babe, I'm going for a fag
Ashley POV "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Tobias?" I let out as I approach the lady behind the desk in the reception area. "Do you have an appointment booked?" she asks, and I nod, telling her that he requested me to meet him at nine. She looks at her desktop and then smiles at me. "Seventh floor, the elevators are on the right. His secretary is waiting for you", she says, and I smile, thanking her before holding on tighter to my bag. I walk to the lift and take a deep breath. Once the door dings open on the seventh floor, I lift my head high and walk out. "Miss Walsh, Tobias is waiting for you," she says, and I smile, nodding my head and following her as she starts walking down the corridor. She is blonde and tall, and her high heels click all the way to the office at the end of the hall. "Tobias, Miss Walsh is here," she says, opening the door wide for me to walk in. I walk into the office, and I am taken aback by the magnitude of the office. Everything is dark wood, and Mr. Tob
Killian POV "Boss, we are all set," I hear Theo say behind me. I turn around to face him, and he smiles as he walks towards me, his shirt covered in blood. Theo is a sick bastard, and he takes pleasure in torturing people. It makes him hard to see blood and the begging for their lives. I feel bad for the girls he has sex with. I shake my head as he cleans his hands on his jeans. "Where's Elliot?" I ask, and he shrugs, looking around at the dead bodies all spread around me. "Fuck, what happened here?" he asks, and now it is my turn to smile. He looks at me with his eyes glowing as I point at a chair at the end of the room. I have captured one of the bastards that tried to kill me today. "Shall we find out?" I ask, and he smiles, walking towards the guy. He is shaking, his eyes on the floor, and Theo bends in front of him to be at eye level. He is resting his hand on the guy's shoulder. "Hello there," he says, flashing a smile. I rest my back against the wall as Theo starts to a
Ashley POV “What’s your name?” the handsome stranger asks, and I smile, looking up into his beautiful blue eyes. His thick Irish accent flowed from his mouth. I lick my lips. “Ashley, but my friends call me Ash, " I blurt out, and he smiles, making my core shake. I shake my head slightly and remind myself that I have a boyfriend and I shouldn’t be dancing with a stranger. “I’m Killian,” he says, and I repeat his name out loud, “Killian.” He smiles and pulls me closer to him, turning me around and making my back rub against his front. I can feel his junk rubbing against my ass, and that makes me feel things. Things I shouldn’t be thinking. I turn around, facing him, and shake my head, looking into his eyes, and without another word, I start moving fast between the dancing bodies getting away from him. “Hey, lass,” I hear his voice calling from behind me, but I ignore him and walk straight into the ladies' room, slamming the door behind me. I take a deep breath resting my back agai

Killian POV “Yes, I am on my way there. Where would I be going if not to sort out my shipment that is being held”, Ashley says using the most sarcastic tone I have ever heard. I can tell she is upset but I am only doing what she asked me to. I am only treating her business the same way I treat all the others. She didn’t want special treatment and I understand why, but now she can’t be pissed at me for not giving her special treatment. I pass my hands through my hair pulling it back. “Don’t use that tone with me Ashley, and I am just looking out for my business. You said you wanted me to treat you like any other business associate, and that’s what I am doing”, I let out as I shove my hand into my pocket as start to pace around. I can see Marcello on his phone with a slight grin on his face and I frown looking at him. I signal at Theo and he nods his head walking to Elliot. He gives him a small head signal and I can see Elliot typing away on his phone and quickly walking to me. “I k
Ashley POV I open my eyes and my entire body is sore. I moan as I move my legs and arms rolling to my side. The bed is cold, I open my eyes to find that Killian is not in bed anymore. I frown as I hug his pillow sniffing it. I feel like such a creep doing this… I smile against it before getting up and struggling to walk to the bathroom. I close my eyes resting my hands on the sink and when I open them I see my bruises on my face and arms. I flinch as I touch the one on my shoulder. Fight training has been brutal and Theo is not taking it easy on me. I have been dealing with so much shit that I don’t know how I am still breathing. It’s been one year since I took over the Italian mafia, everything is going well, Killian and I moved into a big house where the Irish and the Italian don’t exist. Here we are just a couple, a normal, regular couple. In here we don’t discuss work and we don’t mention anything from the outside. This is our safe haven and that’s how I want to keep it. No guns
Killian POV I am sitting in the back of the car with Ashley, her hands are on mine and they are freezing. I close my eyes slightly and rest my head back. I don’t like this at all. I don’t trust any of those blokes and I know she is in danger there. Theo and Elliot will be escorting us in. I know I won’t be able to protect her on my own in there. There are too many of them and not enough of me. Ashley holds my hand tight when the car comes to a stop. We park in front of the modern-looking building. Ashley looks at me, offering a small, shy smile as she opens the door and exits the car following me. I stand next to her as I slam the car door and hold her hand. We walk inside hand in hand and I can see all the security of the different mafias eye each other, and Elliot and Theo follow us. “They can stay outside,” a large man guarding the double doors says. Ashley shakes her head and I open the door, and Elliot and Theo follow us inside. We are given a stinky eye but I don’t care what t
Ashley POV “Hello, sunshine,” I say as soon as I see Theo. He looks at me and only gives me a small nod as I place my hand on his shoulder. He is still upset with me because of what I did yesterday. I wish he could only see that I am trying to help him. I want him to be happy the same way I am. Before I met Tobias, I thought I would never find love, and I know now that he was a means to an end, that I had to pass him to get where I am today, to meet the love of my life, to be happy and think about a family someday. I want that for everyone, and I want everyone to feel the same happiness I feel. “What the fuck is wrong with him?”, Killian asks Elliot and he shrugs before kissing me on the cheek as I sit next to him, nesting my coffee between my hands. Killian walks to the coffee machine and pours himself some coffee, and walks to stand between the boys and face me. “So? What’s the plan?” Elliot asks, putting his phone down, and Theo mimics his reaction and looks at the two of us. I s
