Angel POV.Sitting in the kitchen at the island in the home I now share with Ryder. I look at my laptop until my brows furrow. This can’t be right. Dad asked me to check on the family’s legitimate businesses and their inventory.My family owns many businesses, from little stores, restaurants, nightc
“Sure, for work. What time?” he asks playfully wiggling his perfect eyebrows, his voice husky and I shudder at it. Maybe this is a bad idea. But then again, it could work. Being a customer, I would have a better advantage in seeing what is going on.“The club opens at nine, so should we say we get t
Angel POV.Children, I’m dealing with children! I thought it was bad travelling with Nate and Nico, but Ice and Ripper take the cake. All they have done is squabble since we left the gas station two hours from home. I’m even contemplating shooting them, or throwing them from a moving vehicle.I reac

Angel POV.I sit on the end of the bed looking at the two pink lines, and nothing is registering. How is this possible? I mean, I know how, but still.Can I go through that again? What happens if I lose it again? What if …“Angel, get out of your head. I know what you’re thinking. Nothing is going t
“We just go with it. I know you are scared something will happen. Nothing is going to happen. I will protect you. I won’t let anything bad happen, I promise you. Don’t worry too much Angel, we can get through this,” he says and I feel the sting of tears and I chuckle at how emotional I’m being. But
Ryder POV.I look at Angel as she sleeps. Every so often, she whimpers and wiggles closer to me. I run my fingers lazily through her long blonde hair. She calms down. That nightmare she had last night shook her to her core. It hit home that she is dealing with so much and this pregnancy is going to
“What else happened?” I ask as I wait for her to come back and when she does, she has her laptop and phone.“He gave up the information and promised he would leave town. Antonio and Teagan let him go. That is until they told us to kill him nowhere near their club. So we did.” Ripper shrugs as he dri
Yeah, my woman is a world fucking champion in this sport. Just like I knew she would be all those years ago. Sophie has held the championship belt for three years now and tonight she will still be victorious.“You ready, baby?” I ask her and she nods her head. Her eyes focused and forward. The light
Wild Child POV.FIVE YEARS LATER.Looking back over the past five years brings a smile to my face. It always does. Six months after that night Sophie and I made love, we got married. Then twelve months after then we welcomed our little boy Junior. He is such a cheeky little monkey.He has strawberry
Wild Child POV.I keep kissing Sophie, hearing the moans and whimpers of every one of my touches on her. She is so god damn responsive and I’m going to end up coming in my pants like a damn teenager.I’m trying to take it slow, but my little Slugger she has different ideas. She is in control and dam
I’m safe and that is what matters. Not everything else. I can be me again. I can be free. The options are endless for me right now.“Sophie, why did you run?” I turn on my bar stool with the bottle in my hand as I look at Harry.“I needed to shower, and I didn’t want to pressure you into something y
Sophie POV.I need to feel something, anything. I kiss Harry with all abandon. I need him, no. I want him. I want him more than I have ever wanted anything in my life.“Harry, take me home.” I break the kiss, panting. I wasn’t even this out of breath when I was sparring for hours, but this man right
Sophie POV.I watch as Jared is walked out of the prison towards the awaiting SUV. He isn’t chained or cuffed. He limps along beside Nico. His eyes find mine and he smiles sadly and gives me a nod as he climbs in the back of the SUV.Nico closes the door and walks to me. He gives me a hug.“He will
“Sophie, I’m so sorry. God, I’m such a horrible person and I know what we did to you was wrong. More so for me. I always told you I would be there for you and I wasn’t. This is no excuse for what I did. Dad would beat me too if I didn’t do what he told me. He blamed you for her death. I told him it
Sophie POV.I have a decision to make. Do I go and see my brother and hope he gives me the answers I need, or do I let him go and never see him again?Why is this so damn hard? I always wanted my brother back, but is it too late for me to listen to his side of things? Does that make me a bad person
“You ok?” He asks and I nod my head as I lean against him.“You know, for someone who doesn’t like being kissed in public, you sure are making it difficult.” He says, and I chuckle at him.“Don’t complain.” I say with a teasing smirk, and he chuckles as we both settle comfortably against one another
