Wicked Empire (Knight's Ridge Empire: Wicked Trilogy, #3)

by Tracy Lorraine

Dragging my eyes open, I’m greeted by the most incredible sight. My chin drops as I stare at her lying right beside me, sharing my pillow.

But just as I close my eyes to do the same, my name floats through the air. “Yeah, baby?” I whisper back, caressing her arm with my thumb. She shifts so she’s looking up at me once more. “I love you.”

“Seb, please,” she begs when all I do is stare at her. “You’ve got such a pretty pussy, baby.”

Seeing her here, having her in the middle of my fucked-up family… it makes my heart ache in the most incredible way. ‘I love you,’ I mouth across the table, making her smile widen before she returns the sentiment.

“You gonna be a good girl and give me what I need?”

Everything about her just brings me to my fucking knees.

The second we’re out of the driveway, Stella reaches over for my hand, and she doesn’t let go for the rest of the day. I couldn’t fucking love her more.

“You’re mine,” I state like it’s the answer to everything.

“This,” he says, pointing between the two of us, “is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Fuck what anyone outside the two of you says or tries to do. Hold on tight and never fucking let go. Ever.”

“It’s okay to break, baby. I’ll hold you together. I fucking promise.”

“No. That’s you, baby. You’re perfect. Watching you tonight. Hellion… do you realize just how fierce you were?”

“I love you, Hellion.” Her face softens, a content smile pulling at her lips. “I can’t wait to burn the rest of hell down together.”
