The corner of his mouth lifts again. “Family. Never thought I’d consider having kids.” “I’ll teach them how to shoot a gun,” I joke. Demitri’s smile widens. “You better, seeing as you’ll be their godfather.”
and it makes the respect I already feel for the woman grow.
Isabella’s head snaps in our direction as I drop another body for her. You’re welcome, little one.
The hook-up that’s turned out to be a mischievous goddess of chaos, taking blow after blow at the cartel.
Again Alexei laughs. “Do you really want to deprive the world of the ecstasy you felt when I fucked you?” My left eyebrow shoots up. “Vain much?” “No, just confident.”
My grin grows into a wide smile. “You have to admit, Isabella Terrero is… fucking exhilarating.”
“You’re too brave for your own fucking good, little one,” I whisper.
You’re strong enough to survive at my side, but how the fuck do I capture someone as wild as you?
“Like it would be a sacrifice on my part. Any man would be lucky to have a woman like Isabella.”
Seeing her move around in my personal space feels… right. Because she’s the one.
I’ll make Isabella love me, marry her, and then she’ll be mine. Together we’ll rule the world.
Okay. Deep breaths. You love Isabella. Christ, so much for thinking I was the one in control. My breathing begins to speed up as I feel panic for the first time in my life. What if her memory returns and I lose her? What the fuck will I do then?
“Whatever happens in the future, I want you to remember this moment. I mean everything I’m going to say.”
“I fucking love everything about you. I could spend the next hour going into detail, but I won’t. I want you. All of you. I want you next to my side. I want to wage wars with you. I want to build empires with you. I want you in every new memory I make because there isn’t a woman on the face of this planet I respect more.”
“Isabella Terrero, will you marry me?” Alexei asks.
It’s not just about love. It’s us forming an unbreakable alliance for life. Together we’ll fight. Together we’ll die. But first… together, we’ll live. “Yes, I will.”
“Mine. A fucking goddess belongs to me.” My lips curve up as I shake my head, and framing his jaw with my palms, I say, “No, a god belongs to me.”
“You naked every night.” He pushes a finger inside me, and a moan spills over my lips, then I breathe, “And?” “You by my side forever.” As Alexei’s mouth takes mine, my heart fills with warmth, and it slowly spreads through my body. Today I made the right decision when I agreed to marry Alexei. I have no regrets.
“I’ll never betray a loved one, especially the woman who holds my heart.”
My heartbeat speeds up as the thought that I can actually lose Isabella crosses my mind.
Just then, Demitri comes into the gym, and I shout, “Stay back. Isabella’s memory has returned.” Demitri stops, his eyes instantly locking on Isabella. She lets out a burst of enraged laughter as her eyes lock on mine, cold and wild. “I’m going to fucking kill you.” I hold up a hand. “Calm down. Let’s talk.” “Talk?” she hisses. “TALK?”
Let her go, Alexei. You can’t tame her wild spirit. It’s what you love most about her.
If Isabella feels that I violated her, then there’s no way I’ll ever get her back. The thought tears mercilessly through my heart, and when it’s done shredding it to pieces, it moves onto my soul. Because that’s how deeply I love her.
My heartbeat speeds up. “You’re attracted to me.” Alexei nods. “I thought I made that clear?” “You really love me?” A smile curves his lips, and his eyes soften. “More than anything.”
She’s back. I didn’t lose the love of my life. Thank fuck.
As she starts to walk to the door, I ask, “Why didn’t you take the engagement ring off?” She glances over her shoulder and smiles at me. “How else would you find me?” “You wanted me to watch you?” “I used you for the protection you provided,” she teases as she opens the door.
“When I make a promise, I keep it, so I don’t make them often. But, Ana, I promise you’re safe with me. I won’t touch you unless it’s to save your life. I’ll respect your boundaries. I love Isabella, and I plan on marrying her, which means the two of us will become family. I always protect my family.” “Do you really love her?” Ana asks the question I least expected. “With everything I am.”
Yeah, so much for being the Princess of Terror. Give me a man to love, and I’m the same as any other woman. Then again, I’d kill for mine.
“What my woman wants, my woman gets.” She lets out a sinful chuckle. “Hmm… I love the sound of that.”
My lips tug up into a smile. “Thank you.” A slight frown forms between her eyes. “For?” “Saving my life.” It’s proven to me Isabella is one hundred percent mine. I can trust her. With her gaze on mine, she smiles at me. “Of course. If anyone’s going to kill you, it will be me and on my terms.” “You love me too much,” I tease her. “Lucky for you.”
