A Proposal They Can't Refuse (Vega Family Love Stories, #1)

by Natalie Caña

Liam looked like something conjured out of the tie me up and spank me books

“Ain’t nobody sticking a finger in my butt.” He lifted a wooden chair from the floor, slammed it onto the table, and wiped it down with unnecessary vigor. Mami stopped scrubbing the tables, spun on her heel to face him, and placed both hands on her hips. “You didn’t have a problem when I did it last week,”

At some point Liam had turned into a whole snack, and she was feeling decidedly peckish.

Then after a quick kiss on the cheek, she was gone, and he was left to sit and wonder: Could he truly be enough?

Kamilah was frustrated. Sexually. Ever since she’d watched him, capable and intelligent in the distillery, proudly putting his skills on display in the hottest example of competence porn she’d ever witnessed,

“I want to strip you bare,” he whispered. “And once you’re naked, I’m going to sit you down on my tasting table and do exactly what its name dictates I do.” Kamilah inhaled shakily. “That’s right. I’m going to taste you. I’m going to savor you like one of my whiskeys, and I’m not going to stop until I’m drunk on you.” Oh my God.

I love you. I loved the boy you were, and I love the man you are.

He needed her. He needed her so much it scared the ever-living shit out of him.

“You need to realize that family first doesn’t mean at the expense of everything else. It means that we all look out for one another, support one another, and respect one another because the love we feel for each other is first in our hearts.”

My friend, I hope you are seeing this. Killian had lost his final battle with cancer a few weeks ago. Papo missed him every day, but he knew that his best friend—his brother—would be happy with the way everything had turned out.
