Having Jonathan, Layla, and even Aiden and Levi and their wives, brings me a long-lost sense of peace that I’m ready to fight for with all my might.

It doesn’t matter how submissive she gets under my hand or in bed. Out of it, she’s a tigress ready to rip the world a new one — me included.

She crouches and gives me her ear so I can whisper, “When I grow up, can I marry him, too?” She laughs, the sound making Jonathan stare at us, and I hide behind Alicia again, my cheeks flaming. My sister ruffles my hair and whispers back, “If I’m not here, you have my permission.”

Jonathan kisses my forehead and my cheeks, then brushes his lips against mine in a brief, soul-shattering kiss. With every touch of his mouth against my skin, it’s like he’s reviving me back to the life that was nearly stolen away from me.

We’re on Jonathan’s private island for our wedding. The island he named Aurora right after he told me I was staying with him and that was final. He can be so swoony, despite his tyrant nature.

The night Eli was born, Aurora led me to a closet in the hospital and told me the fact that I’d become a grandfather was a ‘turn-on’, fumbled with my belt, and didn’t stop until I was inside her. I had to place a hand over her mouth to muffle her screams.

“You’re my world.” She plants a kiss on my mouth. “How can you be left out of it?” “And you are mine.”
