Antonio POV.Waking in the morning in my bed alone, I look to the side. This is not how I planned last night to go down. Hell, as naïve as I am, I was hoping it would have gone down differently. With me and my tiger giving in to the sexual tension that is between us both. But then that cunt had to burn my damn club to the ground and forced my hand again to lock her in this very room.I groan as I leave the bed and I feel and look like shit. I am never drinking that much again. I can handle my alcohol, but yesterday I drank a lot more and now it feels like I have an army stomping through my head.I make my way to the bathroom and use the toilet before turning on the shower. Once inside, I think back to the phone call, that voice I recognise slightly, but I’m not sure from when or where. Once I’m washed and feel slightly better, I leave the shower, grab a towel and wrap it around my waist as I head to the walk-in closet to get ready for today.Once dressed in my tailor made Tom Ford sui
Teagan POV.I enter the library and find the laptop waiting for me sat on a desk facing the door. I move closer to it and sit down. I open the lid and wait for it to turn on. I look around the library and wait for it to boot up. Once it does. I check the apps and roll my eyes. Seriously, did they think I would do a damn internet search? Morons.I grab a USB from my pocket and I smirk as I plug it in. I access the files and wait for them to download. I spin on the chair, waiting when I hear the beep to tell me I am now secure and the app I need is waiting to be opened.I get to work and access the dark web and use my alias I haven’t used since I was a kid when I would forge IDs for the kids in school and change grades. I even hacked into the local police system. Yeah, I have skills.I get to work hacking into the system here and the files at the FBI. My fingers fly across the keys. Messages pop up and I ignore them.I find the information I need from Simon’s laptop. Wow, for someone wh
Teagan POV.It has been three days since I hacked into Simon’s laptop and made the discovery. Was I shocked? Not really everything stems down to money and revenge. I mean, who can blame him? He found his wife, well, ex-wife, sandwiched between his boss and his brother. I’m actually shocked that Antonio and Gianni haven’t suspected him since then.I sit here watching and listening while they all think I’m oblivious to what is going on. Laying on the sofa in the living room with Lucifer laying next to me. He is snoring and I’m scrolling through my phone.I know which of the guards are working for Alejandro and so I watch and listen. I have seen the three in question cast glances at me and every time they look my way; I smirk at them and give them a subtle nod, so they know I know what they are doing. Simon also knows, but he knows I can’t out him.I know Simon has told them I know, but they keep their distance and I know they are shitting their pants in case I expose them, but that woul
Teagan POV.The following day was the day it went to hell. I woke up feeling uncomfortable and sticky as I got out of bed. The bedroom door opened and Antonio walked in, only to stop dead in his tracks. And the look of horror on his face had me panicking. I looked down and saw it.My legs were covered in blood. My shorts, the sheets, hell, even the quilt. It looked like a damn murder scene. I was looking for the victim or a damn severed horse’s head.Aunt flo decided to play silly fuckers and came early. So I was unprepared. I cried like a baby at the mess. Antonio tried to tell me it was ok as I stripped the bedding and sobbed harder seeing the state of the mattress. He told me it was ok and not to worry about it.He helped me to the shower and showered with me. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I know I said I wouldn’t be embarrassed. Well, it’s hard not to be when it comes out of the blue and your husband looks like mine. He didn’t seem fazed when he realised what it was
Antonio POV.The last few days with my tiger have been great. Well, for me it has been, but I know it hasn’t been for her. She has been in so much pain and it killed me to see her like that, wanting nothing more than to take it away from her. So I did what I could, and that was to be there for her, not leaving her side making her as comfortable as possible while she was going this.When she was sleeping or pretending to be asleep, I would tell her I loved her and it’s the truth. I do love her. When she was asleep, she would mumble it in her sleep and I would just hold her tighter to me. I know she likes to be strong and no one can blame her for that. But when she was like that, I saw her vulnerability and it floored me.My strong and brave tiger needed me and I will always be there for her, no matter what it takes. Hell, I would chase her to the ends of the earth to be with her, to keep her safe. I spoke to Anna, our doctor, and told her about what was happening and she told me that t
Teagan POV.Waking to the feeling of fingers massaging my scalp is one of the best ways to wake up. Ok what would be better is to wake up being eaten out, but I will take this for the time being. It has been nearly a week now since I gave into my feelings for Antonio. We haven’t crossed the line to actually having sex. I think he is scared of hurting me. Which I find extremely sweet.“Morning sleepy head.” I smile as I open my eyes properly and see those beautiful honey coloured eyes looking down at me. He is beautiful. He smiles at me and I reach for his face. He leans into my touch before he turns his head and kisses my palm.“Morning, handsome.” I say to him, my voice groggy from sleep. He chuckles, but it felt like a deep rumble from his throat. He moves me slightly so he can lay down flat and pulls me gently to him again. He kisses my bedhead and I sigh, snuggling into him.I have decided there is no point in fighting this attraction any longer. As for this whole bringing him and
Antonio POV.Jesus Christ, that was the best blowjob I have ever had and I’m not just saying that. Even after all the women I have bedded over the years, no-one and I mean no-one has ever made me feel like that. The orgasm was so intense and no, it’s not because I had a case of blueballs. I knew my tiger was well a tiger, but fuck me. If that is how it felt just with oral, I am eager to find out what it will be like to be inside her tight perfect pussy.“Earth to Antonio, come in Antonio!” I snap out of the memory and look at Gianni, who is smirking at me with a knowing look on his face. My mind wanders to what we did in the damn shower. Her leg hooked over my shoulder as I speared her pussy with my tongue.My fingers worked her ass, and the orgasm was so intense she squirted into my mouth. Fuck, I have to stop thinking about her like that, especially when I’m sitting with my men. I adjust myself in my pants under the desk and I look around. All my men are giving me the knowing smirk.
Teagan POV.I can feel him before I see him. I turn to see him standing in the doorway. He has relief flashing in his eyes. I wipe my hands on the apron and move towards him.“What’s wrong?” I ask him, searching his eyes when he engulfs me in his arms. Pulling me to his chest as he breathes in my scent. I hold him tight.“Nothing tiger. I just wanted to see you,” he says to me before he moves his face back and I look up at him and he smiles softly at me. He kisses my nose and I smile at him.“You would tell me, right?” I ask and I know he was lying. Something has happened to have him race back here. He nods his head. He wouldn’t tell me. I notice the subtle changes to his eyes, his face, and body language.“Want to talk about it?” I ask him, and he shakes his head.“No, I just need you,” he says, and I chuckle at him.“So corny,” I try to lighten the mood and he chuckles.“Only for you.” He kisses me all over my face and I let him. Whatever has happened, he needs this. He needs to mak
Angel POV.I watch as my momma and daddy dance around the kitchen. I smile at what they have and I know I will never have that. You see, I am now twenty-one years old. I’m keeping a secret from my parents. A secret that will cause a war.I sigh as I head to my room. I take the stairs and head into my room. I sit on the bed and think about what I’m going to do? I look at my phone next to me and pick it up. I open the messaging app and look at his profile picture.Ryder or Savage, as he is known to the club. He is the son of Hatchet, the former president of the Prince of Darkness MC. The same MC that has an allegiance with my family.I have known Ryder since we were kids. He is older than I am. He is twenty-five years old and has recently taken over as pres of the MC. I have been in love with him since we were kids, but everything changed a few weeks ago.I have been sleeping with him since I turned eighteen. We were in a relationship. A secret one at that. I couldn’t tell my parents be
Teagan POV.I’m numb. That’s all I can describe this. Numb and in shock. I look at the black-and-white image in my hand and blink. No, this is not happening!I’m fifteen weeks pregnant! What the fuck!“Teagan, it’s ok.” I look from the image in my hand as I look at Antonio, who is sitting there all smug. With a look on his face of I told you so. I’m freaking out. Can I do this again? The twins were hard enough. Now another one?“How is this ok? I was so convinced it wasn’t. Oh my god, it’s not the right time Antonio. It’s not the right time.” I sob into my hands. I should be happy, but I’m too stressed still fighting the demons of what I did. How can we have another baby? We can’t.“Hey, shh. We will face this together. You’re not alone, Teagan. Don’t you see that this baby. Our baby is a blessing. It is a gift. We will do this together. I promise you.” he pulls me to him as I sob. I don’t know how to feel about this. I should be over the moon, but I’m not.“You are going to speak to
Teagan POV.It has been three months since what happened in Mexico. I have taken over the remaining cartel and the title of the heir to the DeNucci family. That was all finalised in the weeks after the takedown in Mexico.It was hard to do, especially when the kids had refused to leave my side in the beginning, and that was fine with me. I needed them close to me. Antonio was great and understood that we needed time to digest what happened. After it was all finalised, I spiralled, and I spiralled fast and hard.He understood I needed time to process that I killed my father. No, not my father, but the monster he became. Even though I knew it was either me or him, I knew that it is still a burden, as my mind refuses to acknowledge any of his wrongdoings. It’s like my brain is stuck in a loop of all the good he did and how he was in the beginning.Antonio has been there to pull me out of the downward spiral I was heading in. The denial of what happened. He has not left my side and for th
Teagan POV.I watch as Antonio and Marco leave the room with my kids. I turn and see my father crawling along the floor. I walk closer to him. The gun is out of reach. So I move to it and pick it up and place it in my holster that is strapped to my thigh.“So, what now? You going to kill me?” he sneers with a groan of pain. I just watch him as he attempts to get up. I move to him and grab him by his hair and pull him up. I wince with the movement. He tried to hurt my kids, he hurt me, he has hurt so many fucking people and it ends now.“It is what you deserve for what you have done and allowed to happen. You are not my father. That man died when my mom did.” A small part of me feels sadness as I look into those eyes, the eyes that always sparkled when I was younger. I was always safe with him until I wasn’t.I remember the good times we had. The family vacations, the celebrations at my early achievements. How he would build blanket forts when it stormed outside and we would all lay un
Antonio POV.“Teagan, wake up, tiger.” I cradle her in my arms as I reach for her face. I shake her gently, her eyes slowly open and she reaches for my face even though she is covered in that cunt’s blood.“You came. The kids, we need to get to them. Alejandro told them I’m dead, and you did it. I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep them safe. I’m … so … sorry.” She sobs and I shake my head.“You kept them safe, you went with them to keep them safe. You are amazing, tiger, you are strong.” I tell her as the tears leave my eyes as I look from her face to her naked form in my arms. She has cuts and bruises to be beautiful skin.“The women, get them out. Help them Antonio. I need … I need …”“What do you need tiger, tell me?”“To find the kids and to find him.” She says as she struggles to keep her eyes open. The sound of metal opening as the women are freed. One comes over, but I give her a look as Rosena stops her.“Here, put this on her.” She hands a long T-shirt to Rosena and we pull it over he
Antonio POV.We have planned for extraction. We followed the signal of all three trackers. Do they know they have them? Is Alejandro luring us all into a false sense of security?Either way, it doesn’t matter he has taken my children and wife. Even if we aren’t really married, she is still mine and that won’t change anytime soon.In six years, he has changed his guards regularly. The only ones who haven’t changed are José and my father. The others are expendable. So this will be a cakewalk. We are disguised as guards and that is how we will infiltrate his compound.“From the tutor, he gave us detailed information on the daily operations of the guards around and inside the compound. He was even kind enough to give us the location of the holding cells, the interrogation room, and the bedrooms which is where the children will be.” Gianni says as we all sit in a hotel room just on the outskirts of the town where Alejandro is held up.“Yeah, but you forget we have been there before.”“Yes,
Teagan POV.I wake up, my head is pounding. I hear a whimper and my eyes fly open and I look around. My eyes adjust to the darkness. My wrists are bound as I dangle inches from the floor. I pull on the restraints, but they don’t budge.“Stay still, otherwise they will come in and hurt you.” I turn my head to the voice and see a woman holding onto the bars of the cage she is in.“That’s the point. I need to speak to him.” I say to her and she shakes her head frantically.“No, you do that they will only cause you pain. Trust me, we have all tried that and failed. It’s best to give them what they want. Don’t fight them, it only turns them on more when you fight.” I feel bile rise up my throat, but I gulp it back down.“He won’t touch me. I know he won’t.”“Yeah, right, what makes you so special? You are here with us. You will be used, tested and then sold at auction. Do you think any of us came here willingly? Look around you,” she scoffs, but I won’t let her scare me.“How long have you
Antonio POV.Sitting down around the table, my eyes focused on the two fuckers opposite me. Alejandro Rodriguez and José Fernando.Gianni is next to me as well as my men. Alejandro looks relaxed and confident and all I want to do is put a bullet between his eyes the same way I did to his twin, Hector.“I know why you are in my city and why you have requested this sit down. So stop wasting my time and get on with it.” I say, sounding bored. I could be at home with my family. This is just stupid, but it is an advantage. They know that by entering my city, they won’t make it out alive.“Always so diplomatic, Antonio. I’m here to simply see my daughter. You see, we parted on not so good terms and I want to make amends.” He says as he looks at me with an air of arrogance about him. I scoff at his words.“You handed her to your men while she was pregnant with my children. You told her you would cut them from her dead body and feed them to your dogs. So why would I allow you anywhere near he
Teagan POV.The kids loved their bangles that they got from their father weeks ago. Angel cried because it was her first real gift from her daddy and Nathaniel was overjoyed as well. I want them to be kids for as long as they can be without worry or fear. They are coming up to the age I was when my mom passed away and I will do everything in my power, so they never have to experience that. Dare I say, everything has been going great so far.“Hey, you ok?” I look behind me with my cup of cold coffee in my hand to see Marco standing there. I smile, but I know it doesn’t reach my eyes as I turn back to what I was looking at.“Yeah, I’m ok. Just had a morbid thought, is all.” I tell him the truth and he sits next to me as I take a sip of the now cold coffee and I make a face at it before placing it on the table.“Want to talk about it?” he asks, and I shake my head with a sigh. Before leaning back in the chair and looking at the ceiling. Don’t get me wrong, being here is nice, but it is d
