HIS 52 - Roberto.
It doesn't take long to reach the address Matthias gave us. It's a warehouse in a sketchy part of town, so we park close. The door has a padlock and Trish steps up to it and punches in the code her father gave her. I'm watching with bated breath as the lock pops and she pushes the door open.As we step inside, it's clear that this is one of Volkanov's secret places where he stashes weapons and other illegal goods. After a little searching, we locate the crate with the C-4 and another one beside it with everything we need to blow shit up: wire coil, switches, initiators, batteries, clay and other goodies."This is enough to blow the whole compound," Connor mutters."We just need a little of it to rig the old barn," I say and start gathering up all the ingredients for our recipe for disaster."And how exactly do you guys know how to make a bomb?" Trish asks, tilting her head.We all exchange a look. "Why don't you ask the Mayhem Twins?" Rylan says innocently."We had no clue," I say."Y

After the guards run out, I step into the kitchen and make my way over to the back door which is wide open. Everyone is running over to the corner of the property where the old barn is consumed in flames.This is exactly the distraction I needed.I slip outside and start hurrying to the opposite side of all the commotion. No one is paying any attention to the main house and I race across the lawn, staying low and keeping my head down. I'm halfway to the gate when I see a dark figure running straight at me.Shit!It takes my eyes a moment to adjust to the darkness and I recognize Roberto. My heart leaps into my throat and I pick up my pace then slam right into his arms."Oh, my sweet Adeline," he murmurs."Oh, my God, Roberto." I wrap my arms around his neck and he scoops me right up into his arms and takes off.His arms feel so tight around me and I sag against his body, knowing I'm safe now and everything will be fine.Or at least, that's my thought before we come to an abrupt halt a

I'm not going to lie. Being balls deep inside Adeline with no barrier between us is the greatest feeling in the whole damn world. She's slick and hot, squeezing me hard, and I'm losing control fast.But I refuse to come before her. Adjusting her body slightly, I find her inner sweet spot and go to town. Slamming into her, my hips pistoning, hands flat on the wall, I push up onto my toes and try to get even deeper. In moments, Adeline is crying and bucking in my arms. Then she screams my name and digs her nails into my biceps so hard that I think she just drew blood.Once she breaks, I immediately follow, unable to hold back and I explode inside her. My release fills her and I shout her name, my entire body shuddering hard. Panting, still twitching with aftershocks, I sag against the wall. Adeline hangs onto me and I lift her head, cup her face and kiss her deeply. The fact that I almost lost this woman kills me. Breaking my mouth away, I lift her higher, sliding out of her body, and t

I have no idea why Matthias wants to see us, but ever since we saved his life, he hasn't tried to kill us. So, I'm taking this as a good sign.When we arrive at the brownstone, the door is immediately opened by Anna, Matthias's wife. She often sneaks over to visit her daughters and Griffin, so we've gotten to know her a bit better."I'm so glad you came," she says, ushering us inside. "I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but Matthias was determined to see you. Which tells me he has a plan and wants the three of you involved."Anna guides us to the master suite then presses a kiss to each of our cheeks."Tread carefully," she whispers and pushes the door open. "Matthias, they're here."We walk into the bedroom and the man who I once thought was so formidable looks small and harmless in the huge bed. But I know that looks can be deceiving.Matthias sits up taller against his pile of pillows and motions for us to come closer. He's flanked by two guards and we have Sully at our side.J

One Month Later...Marrying Roberto is the best decision I ever made. He is my best friend, my lover and my soulmate and I couldn't imagine living this life without him.Currently, we've decided to stop hiding. My dad moved back into the small apartment we used to share and he's cleaning it up and packing. His plan is to find a better place and start a new job helping out the Mennetti family which Maeve finagled through Connor. Everyone has noticed how close he and Maeve seem to be getting and I'm happy for them. For the first time in fifteen years, my dad is smiling again and that makes me so very happy.While Maeve and Finley are living at the hotel still, Roberto and his brothers have moved us all into their city digs. They have constant security watching their places at all times, so I feel safe staying above the fight club. Besides, it's nice to have our own little place.Though things are still up in the air with Desmond, Roberto told me that their relationship with Matthias Vol

A lot has happened with Desmond and he wants us all eliminated. The idea of him sending enforcers to gun down my brothers, mother and nephews is gut-wrenching. And he would do it, too. Without a doubt. Desmond is an evil man who is power hungry and bitter because my dad ran everything while Desmond was sent to Ireland to look over our business interests there. Exiled is a better word because the two of them had a falling out and couldn't get back on the same page. I have no idea what happened exactly, but Desmond was sent away and my dad continued to run the kingdom here in Chicago. It was a slap in Desmond's face really.Something he obviously never forgot and still harbors ill will about.The last thing I want is for anything bad to happen to the people I love. At the same time, I can't promise myself to Luca Volkanov without ever having seen or met him. It's crazy.With a big, very weary and resigned sigh, I hold up a hand. "I can't make any promises, but I will meet Luca." Once ag

My father has officially lost his damn mind. There is really no other explanation to account for the words coming out of his mouth. Because they don't make any sense to me. Not even a little bit."I'm sorry, what?" I ask blankly.Matthias Volkanov shifts in his office chair and winces slightly. He's still recovering from several gunshot wounds and I can tell it still pains him somewhat. Truthfully, I think he should retire and take it easy. My family has more money than we'll ever be able to spend, and it's not necessary for him to continue working as hard as he does. But I suppose he likes bossing people around and playing the role of don in our Italian family."I think you heard me," he says, dark gaze focused intently on me. Like two sharp points of obsidian. "But let me say it again, just in case. I'd like you to consider entering into a marriage of convenience with Finley Mennetti.""You want me to marry a complete stranger? And our mortal enemy? Why?""Don't be dense, Luca." His

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.

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

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
HIS 47 - Finley.
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

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.
