HIS 32 - Connor.
Roberto and I discuss the situation and immediately set up a security detail with a renowned, well-trusted and competent company that's referred to us. Our plan is to eliminate all of the illegal activities my father was involved in and focus on the legitimate companies, building them up and providing them with more resources.We aren't sure if my mother is aware of how deeply our dad's shady business practices extended. But I'm done with it.No more strip clubs, narcotics or gambling dens. Roberto and I both agree that the loansharking days are over and anyone who still owes us money will be put on a reasonable and achievable payment plan. I'm done cheating people and I'm ready to make our businesses above board.Unfortunately, we're pissing off a lot of people in the process, but I don't care. We'll have new security and a new lawyer."Sorry to drag you into all of this," I say, eyeing Roberto. I know he isn't too keen on being involved in the business side of things, but I can't fi

The moment I hear my father's voice, I tell Connor not to call me again and hang up. It feels like someone is ripping my heart out of my chest and I hate that I'm doing this to him..to us. But what choice do l have?If I don't obey my father, he will have Connor killed.And I will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening and to keep Connor safe. Even if it means marrying Antonio. The thought kills me, but I'm left with no other options.Sitting on my bed, fighting back tears, I look over at my window which is now covered in iron bars. Gross. Apparently, Father isn't taking any more chances because there's absolutely no way for me to sneak out now. He even placed a guard at my bedroom door.Squeezing my eyes shut, I ball my hands into fists and will myself not to cry. There's a knock on the door, but I don't bother responding. Whoever it is will just let themselves in whether I like it or not. I've become a prisoner in my own home.The door opens and Father steps inside, Ant

The door opens and my father steps inside, looking furious. "What the hell is going on? It doesn't look like you two resolved anything from the look of things.""Your daughter is being defiant and difficult when all I did was offer to help her.""Is this true, Trisha?""I can't marry him, Dad. I don't love him,""She thinks she's in love with Connor Mennetti," he says, ratting me out.I send another glare his way."And that's not all," Antonio says maliciously and my stomach sinks.Oh, no. He wouldn't dare tell my dad about the baby. Would he?"She's pregnant with Mennetti's bastard."Shit. My father looks at me like he's never seen me before and it hurts more than I thought it would."Is this true, Trisha?" he asks between gritted teeth.Fear for Connor prevents me from answering. I can't let my dad know the truth or he's going to kill Connor. I know it. "No," I lie."Which one of you is lying to me?"I know I have to come clean, but I'm terrified my father is going to take his wrath

I have no idea what is going on, but I know that I have to get to Trish immediately. When we left each other, we were saying we loved each other. And now I'm supposed to believe she's done with me?Like hell."Connor...You have to leave me alone. I'm begging you.""Beg all you want. I'm never letting you go.""You have to! Otherwise — ""Otherwise what?""Nothing."She answered that way too quickly and I think she's trying to protect me. Storming out of my house, I spot Sully. "She's gone," I say without preamble."What?""Snuck out. I'm going to get her back.""Damn, Connor, I didn't know." I just wave a hand at him and jog back over to Roberto's to find him in the yard, hitting the punching bag."Rob! Trish is gone and I need your help," I tell him.He looks up from the bag, and swipes the top of his arm across his sweating forehead. "What do you mean gone?""I think someone told her that she had to come home. Threatened her or me. I don't know, but I just talked to her and she was

"I'm here, cara mio," I whisper, stroking a hand down her long, dark hair. I'm completely aware of the guns now pointing at us from nearby guards and I tighten my arms around her. "No one is going to make you do anything you don't want." My accusing gaze Moves over to Matthais Volkanov who steps forward, his face lined with fury."What the hell are you doing here?" he demands. "Get your hands off my daughter."Trish turns in my arms, but still stays pressed against me."It's over, Volkanov," I tell him."The only one who's going to marry your daughter is me. I'm taking her away from here, making her my wife and we're going to raise our baby together."A couple of shocked gasps fill the air after I reveal she's pregnant, but I really don't care. "Don't you touch my daughter," he warns in a low voice."A little late for that," Roberto mumbles dryly beside me and Volkanov turns a deep shade of angry crimson. He looks ready to blow and the more I think about this situation, the more ridic

"That went about as well as expected," Roberto says dryly after we help Connor remove his jacket and shirt.Connor is sitting on a stool in the kitchen, and I move up beside him and carefully start wiping away the dried blood. I hate seeing the deep graze and my stomach sinks when I think about how things could've turned out so much worse. Connor's jaw clenches as I cleanse and disinfect the wound. I can tell he's trying not to flinch, but I know it must burn terribly."Never been shot before," he says, trying to make light of the situation."We should've gone to the emergency room," I tell him again."I'll be fine," he assures her. "It could've been a lot worse." His voice turns dark, and we lock eyes."You stood up to my father," I whisper. "No one has ever done that before.""No one lived to tell the tale, you mean," Roberto adds grimly."Your father wasn't the one who lost his mind," Connor reminds us."I can't believe Antonio did that. He could've accidentally hurt or killed some

"Connor!" I scream. Everything begins to pulse and constrict and my inner walls clamp tighter around him. I lift my head up, my hair whipping forward and covering his chest in a dark waterfall. My hands splay over his chest and as the aftershocks continue to pulse through me,Connor spins me around onto my back, lifts my leg and thrusts hard, pounding into me.A moment later, he explodes, filling me and we're both panting hard as trembles rack through our connected bodies. Then he carefully drops to the side, mindful of his arm, and trying to get his breathing under control again.Once he does, Connor slips out of bed and returns a moment later with a washcloth. Very gently, he wipes between my legs then gets rid of the washcloth and climbs back into bed with me.After Connor pulls me into his arms, I lift his left hand and pull it against my chest. He tenses slightly, probably because of the scar there, but I need him to know that I love him and accept every part of him."Feel that?"

The next day comes fast and I couldn't be happier because I'm about to marry the woman I love. We planned on holding the tiny ceremony with just us and Roberto.But my nosy sister found out when she burst into my house looking for Trish. When she saw me and Roberto standing there wearing suits and the priest nearby, she demanded to know what was going on.And when Finley wants an answer, you better deliver because that girl won't back down.Roberto and I exchange a look and then I say, "I'm marrying Trish.""Now?" she exclaims in disbelief."Now," I confirm."And you weren't going to invite me?"When I hear the hurt in her voice, I hesitate."And what about mom and Ry? They'd want to be here."Maybe my little sister has a point. I don't want any hurt feelings, but I don't want them to be uncomfortable, either. "What do you think?" I ask Roberto."Well, I think Fin has a point," Roberto says, echoing my thoughts. "And, let's face it, you both can use as much support right now as you ca

HIS 51 - Finley.
"Welcome to the family, Luca. Officially," Connor adds, his champagne flute extended, and we all chuckle. The toast makes my heart happy because for the first time, what's happening between our families is genuine.Looking down the table, I take a moment to soak in what I see—endless smiling faces and a fierce love that brings tears to my eyes. Except for Matthias, Anna and Giovanni, everyone is here and it's amazing.We're at the hotel, celebrating in the attached restaurant. My brothers sit with their wives and my two nephews are being held by their glowing mothers. Trish and Connor are incredible parents and I hope to follow in their footsteps one day. Same with Solana and Rylan who is healing up quite nicely and being fussed over constantly by his adoring wife. Roberto and Adeline will be having their own little one soon enough and the way he looks at her makes my heart tumble.My mother sits beside Harrison Shepherd who's been welcomed into our dysfunctional chaos with open arms.
HIS 50 - Luca.
The intensity of her sucking increases and even though I'm trying to be good and not blow, it's getting damn hard. "Fuck, Finley," I swear. It's all too much and the moment she hums and those little vibrations skate up my aching length, I grab her shoulders and pull her up."I wasn't done," she says with a frown.Fighting for control, a muscle flexes in my jaw as I turn her toward the tub and help her step inside. "I want to come inside that sweet pussy, baby girl. And you're going to take my cock deep inside you and ride it hard. Can you do that for me?"She licks her lips in answer and I nearly blow my wad.Lowering myself into the tub, I guide Finley down to straddle me, and rest my arms along the porcelain edges. She takes a moment to get situated then shifts forward, spreading her legs wider. I drop a hand into the warm water, grasp my throbbing cock and push at her entrance. "Take it all," I encourage her. "Every last inch."With a soft moan, Finley starts to sink down, her body
HIS 49 - Luca.
After losing the assholes enforcers, the drive back to the city is uneventful. And that's fine by me. I've had enough adventure to last a lifetime. From this point forward, all I want is to focus all of my attention on Finley and make her the happiest woman in the world. I know I have some more apologizing to do, but right now, I just want to make it up to her.And my plan is to start with multiple orgasms. Butter her up a little first then pour my heart out and beg for her forgiveness. Hopefully, it's a good plan.I've lost what little faith and trust I had in Matthias, so I tell Roberto to drop us off at the hotel where their mother is staying."But I want to stay with you," Finley murmurs softly. She's curled up on my lap and my mouth edges up."You will. Don't worry, I'm not letting you out of my sight. I just don't want to go back to the apartment my father gave us. I'll never trust him again and we'll get our own place soon, tesoro."When Roberto finally pulls the Jeep up to the

My knees give out and I drop down to the rooftop patio, shaking so hard. The sound of pounding boots fills the air and I immediately tense—until I see Luca. He sweeps out onto the terrace, pulls me up and I sag against him."Thank Christ," he murmurs, pressing a string of kisses against my temple. "C'mon, we need to go."We lace fingers and jog back through the storage room then down the three flights of steps."How did you get away? Where are my brothers? Rylan? Is he okay?" I manage to ask."We overpowered some enforcer scum," he tells me. "Rylan was grazed by a bullet, but he's okay, and your brothers are loading him up into the Jeep right now.""I-I killed him," I murmur, still feeling a little shell-shocked."Don't think about it," he says, sliding an arm around my shoulders and holding me close. "You did what you had to do."I send up a little prayer that Desmond's twisted body is lying on the side driveway and not here in the front because I don't ever want to see it again. Luc

Luca seems to be on the same page. "Do you really think you can get away with this?" he asks. "Matthias is coming for you and there isn't a soul more ruthless than him. He won't rest until you're no longer a threat.""He's right," I add. "Matthias will fight you until his last breath.""You think I'm scared of Matthias?" Desmond scoffs. "After I take care of you, he's next. I've already hired the hitman to take him out."Luca and I exchange a quick look. Is he telling the truth? I have no idea, but it's definitely possible. We need to get away from Desmond, but how? Suddenly, two huge enforcers appear and Desmond motions to us."Grab them," he orders.My heart sinks as I'm yanked away from Luca and the enforcer forces me to walk toward the house. I have no idea what Desmond is planning, but I'm really starting to worry about my brothers. Where are they?I find out the answer as soon as we enter the house. Connor and Roberto are each sitting in a chair, tied up, and it looks like they
HIS 46 - Finley.
My eyes snap open and I carefully move my arms and legs. All good, no breaks. I have no idea how I'm still in one piece and all I can do is thank my lucky stars. Then I call out for Luca."Luca..." Turning onto my side, I look for him, but my eyes are still trying to focus after being knocked silly. Coughing from the smoke, I struggle to pull myself up into a sitting position, squinting through the thick billows of ash and black clouds. Finally, I spot Luca a hundred or so feet away from me.He's lying on the grass and not moving."Oh, God, no." Is he hurt? Or worse? Heart in my throat, stomach dropping in dread, I pull myself to my feet and stumble over to him. Falling down beside him, I lay my hands on his chest and lean down. "Luca?"When he doesn't respond, everything in me sinks hard and fast. Panic sets in and my fingers curl, grabbing hold of his shirt and shaking. "Luca!" I hiss.This can't be happening. He came to rescue me, told me he loved me and would never leave me...and
HIS 45 - Finley.
"We have a big fucking problem!" Luca snaps into his comms unit. "Stay away from here. Desmond has the barn rigged with explosives and I need to get Finley untied! Stall him!"My heart plunges. Connor and Roberto abruptly stop walking after Luca warns them that they're heading straight into a trap. Which, of course, is going to let Desmond know that something is up. But, thank God, Connor seems to play it off smoothly as he reengages Desmond in conversation.But, I know my brothers will only be able to stall for so long before Desmond realizes something is going on. He's too damn smart and ruthless.Luca stays low, working frantically on my bindings and I'm twisting, pulling and turning until my scraped wrists start bleeding."Fuck!" Luca glances up and I see fear and worry flash through his molasses eyes. Connor and Roberto have turned back around and continue talking to Desmond again, still stalling, and I don't see Rylan anywhere.Suddenly, chaos erupts up by the house and we look
HIS 44 - Luca.
By the time we get to the compound, I'm on the edge of my seat and ready to get this done. I want my woman back in my arms where she belongs and I'll do anything to make it happen.Roberto drives around to the rear of the property and lets me and Rylan out. We're splitting up so we can keep an eye on things better. I slide the tiny communications unit into my ear and we test them quickly. Everything appears to be in working order and Roberto gives us a salute."Stay in touch," Connor says."Roger that," Rylan responds and I give a sharp nod.The Jeep drives away and Connor and Roberto head to the front gate. The plan is for them to meet up with Desmond while Ry and I will stay under the radar, keeping a close eye on things. If Desmond deviates from the plan or tries to be sneaky in any way, we'll be ready."Ready?" Rylan asks."Let's do this."We move through the woods and sneak onto the property. From here, the plan is to split up and move to opposite sides of the large rear yard."S
HIS 43 - Luca.
Sweeping around the corner, our plan foremost in my brain, we walk straight into two enforcers and immediately jump them. They aren't expecting us and we use the element of surprise to our advantage. It's four against two and, even though the guys are big, they don't expect us to come flying out of the blackness and attack like wraiths.Roberto and Rylan quickly overpower the guard on the left while Connor and I take down the burly guy on the right. I tackle him at the knees and he drops hard while Connor slugs him with a fist to the face. We work well together and I pop up, lift my gun and slam it down against the base of the enforcer's skull. He drops like a brick and Connor gives me a nod.Glancing over, I see Roberto just finished doing the same thing.Once the guards are taken care of, or at least momentarily out of the picture, I stalk over to the cell and see Sean Flannigan cowering in there like the weasel he is and always will be. Looking down, I see the cell door is locked.
