We aren’t together – haven’t been for a while – but Stacey is my girl. Mine. And people don’t fuck with what’s mine.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You’re okay. You’re safe with me,” he says softly as he strokes my hair, letting me cry into his chest. “I found you, little one.”
“How did you escape?” I ask as I take the dress. “I’m mad at you for that, just so you know.” He scoffs as he turns round, letting me drop the blanket and pull on the dress. “You didn’t come for visitation, and I got bored.”
“You are also my priority. I would have always hunted for you to the ends of the fucking earth, little one. I know you didn’t have the best relationship with your father, your brothers are useless pricks, and my son is shackled to a bitch on an insane power trip, but you have me.”
“Don’t cry any more tears because of them. You’ve got it all out. Dry your eyes and keep your chin up. They don’t deserve your tears.”
My girl. Even when faced with the worst kind of horror, she fucking fought. I didn’t think it was possible to love her more than I already do, but I do.
He’s fucking insane. A ruthless killer when we’re working together, usually getting jobs done a lot faster than me, but then he’s a goofy prick that has heart eyes for my sister.
I couldn’t think of anyone better for my sister. Even if he is a walking headache on happy pills.
Fucking psychotic genius.
I was in love with Kade Mitchell, and now he’s going to kill me.
Stacey Rhodes. My girl. My anchor that sank to the bottom of the ocean without me.
Aria rolls her eyes. “Tobias. Behave.” “With all due respect, sweetheart, I behave for no one when it comes to our children.”
The one who shot at her. The ex-boyfriend who would burn the world down for her. The piece of shit who could never fall out of love with her. I nearly drop to my fucking knees, staring at her little dimple and the freckles dusting her cheeks and nose. She’s truly a work of art. A masterpiece. And I’m proud to say that I was her first love.
“The first time I saw you, I was yours. I’ll always be yours, Freckles. Our girl will be proud of the woman you’ve become. You’ll both always be my girls.”
Stacey flinches and turns away in revulsion as Cassie’s body drops to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Gone. Dead. Good-fucking-bye. Dad steps over her body and shakes his head at me. “Stop being a fucking asshole and get in the car.”
Tobias looks at me. “You’re a terrible driver. Never get behind a wheel again.” I roll my eyes.
“I’ll leave your hearing, so I can tell you when I win her back, so you can hear her moaning my fucking name. When I marry her. When she births my fucking children. And guess what? I’ll have all of that. You won’t. Because Stacey Rhodes has been mine since the day I fucking met her.”
Why? Because he’s mine.
Little princess, this is for you.
But I’ve never not been in love with Kade. This rough patch he’s in, we’ll get through it together. Even if it takes years until I get a glimpse of my Kade back.
“Fuck off.” I laugh. “Are you going to climb it or are you going to make me?” He folds his arms. “For your attitude, you can do it.” “Why do I waste my time with you?” “Because your dad is dead and I’m the replacement?”
but all he does is smile at her, take her face and kiss her on the lips. It’s more than just a kiss. It’s everything he wants. Everything he had. And everything he’ll lose. It’s a goodbye. A see you later. An eternity of wondering what if.
“I want your heart, every single fucking fragment that I’ve broken over the years. I have your past and your present, and I want to be a selfish asshole and have your future.”
“I’ll track them all down and make them wish they’d never laid eyes on you.” “I wasn’t with anyone,” I breathe. “But continue with your threats.”
Regardless of where we were in our relationship, I would have slaughtered an entire room filled with people just to get one minute of this with you.” “Cute – but a little scary. No more killing.”
“Forever my addiction,” he mutters. “I’m obsessed with everything about you.”
“Kade Mitchell,” he says, slamming his door. “Who knew you’d ever be more famous than your fucking dad, right?”
Me: This conversation is awfully one-sided, Freckles. I’m a little offended.
“Demanding Kade is cute,” she says with a smile.
He snorts out a loud laugh. “She looks like fucking Gollum in a wig.”
“You’ve done more than enough,” I say. “I’ll liquidate my company too. You’re officially fired as my assistant.” He chuckles. “Thank fucking God for that. Don’t even bother asking me to be your friend.”
he’s as big a nuisance as ever.” Base scoffs. “Nuisance is an understatement.
We found out a week after my release that Stacey was pregnant – she was sick a lot, slept a lot and needed my cock a lot, and me being the doting partner I am, I gave her every inch.
