Owned by a Sinner (Sinners, #2)

I expect to see Declan first, but Kiara comes flying from between a stack of cars. “Liam!” She slams into me, then she rambles, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. I’m sorry.” I wrap one arm around her shoulders, the image of my fallen men’s lifeless faces flashing through my mind. She’s safe. “I’m sorry,” she whimpers. She’s fucking safe.

“Having you in the line of fire took ten years of my life.” Kiara shifts closer and wraps her arms around my neck. She presses a kiss to my temple. “I’ve got you.” The corner of my mouth lifts. “Thanks, baby.”

“I love you.”

“I fucking love everything about you.” His arms wrap around me, squashing me to him while he remains buried inside me. I relish in the feel of his body covering mine, the way he’s holding me, telling me he’ll never let go. I’m his forever. After a long moment of us relishing in the intimacy we shared, Liam lifts his head, his eyes finding mine again. “All mine.” “All yours,” I whisper.

I’ll never again put you in the position you were in today. I need to learn how to protect myself and Liam. I have to become the woman the head of the mafia needs.

Period

“After you teach me how to shoot a gun, I can help you protect your first love,” I murmur. “No, baby. Chicago is in my blood, but you’re my first love. My only love.”

“Will you marry me, Kiara?” I stare into the loving gaze of the man who changed my entire world in such a short space of time. He’s proven himself to me. Over and over. I know without a doubt, I won’t find a better man than him. And love him. God, I love him so much. We’ve been to hell and back, and now I want my happily ever after with him. “Yes, Liam.” His eyes lower to my mouth. “Say it again.” “Yes, Liam. I’ll marry you.”

“Tell me again,” he murmurs. “Tell me how much you love me.” “With all my heart,” I gasp. “All my soul.” My arms tighten around his neck as the orgasm starts to build in me. “With all of my body.” I let out a cry as intense pleasure floods me. “I love you.”

“But you won’t fucking hug me,” he says, all disgruntled. My eyebrows fly up. “You want a fucking hug?” “Oh no. Don’t want you to feel uncom–” I grab hold of his shoulder and yank him to me. My body tenses, and the familiar feelings hit, but I ignore them, hugging my best friend. Just for a second or two. Pulling away, I mutter, “Happy now.” The fucker pretends to wipe a tear away. “Happiest moment of my life. I’ll never forget it.” “Fuck off.”

:)

Declan shakes his head. “You’re my priority, Kiara. I’ll fuckin’ throw you over my shoulder again.” “You’re like an overprotective brother. Never had one of those.” The corner of his mouth lifts. “Pain in the ass, little sister. Always wanted one.”

Besties fr

“I want to spend the rest of my life with Liam.” “But, sweetie. It’s all happening so quick.” I understand why Mom’s worried, so I explain, “I know it’s quick. At first, I had my reservations, but, Mom, I’ve found a man who would move heaven and earth to keep me safe, to love me, to make me happy.” I glance out over the lake, then shake my head. “It’s like he’s always been a part of me. It feels like I’ve known him my entire life. Like I’m finally home.”

I keep hitting, until I feel a sharp pain in my wrist, and Finn’s nothing but a bloody mess beneath me. Gasping for air, I stare down at the bane of my existence. His eyes are mere slits, the stare blank and lifeless. “Rot in fucking hell,” I growl.

That was easy. Anyways-

This man. He’s my entire world. My guardian angel. I drink in his handsome features, the ruggedness from who he really is, giving him an edge. My avenging angel.

“What kind of wedding?” I ask, setting the device down and getting comfortable. He lifts his left hand and tucks a couple of strands behind my ear. “I want your hair down.” “Okay.” When he doesn’t say anything else, I ask, “That’s it? You have nothing to contribute?”

“I promise, if I steal, it will be to steal her heart. If I cheat, it’s to cheat death so I can stay with her longer. If I fight, it will be to protect her.” Then I add my own twist, “If she cries, it will be tears of happiness. If she’s in pain, it will be because she’s giving birth to our children.”

The doors open, and I’m greeted by the scene of Will sitting on Denise’s desk, practically drooling over the girl. Just like you were drooling over yours a minute ago.

Y’all just simps it’s ok

“I’ve never had a connection like this to anyone. I’m going to take every chance I get to fuck you, baby.” Breathing into her mouth, I add, “And forever won’t be enough to satisfy me.” Every day. For the rest of our lives. This woman is mine.

The opening notes for ’I get to love you’ by Ruelle start to fill the air.

Basic

He doesn’t bother wiping the tear escaping his right eye. “You’re so beautiful it hurts.”

My heart races in my chest, worry clouding my vision. “Is she okay?” I ask, fear darkening my words. “Your son is a healthy boy,” Dr. Boyle replies. “Is my fucking wife okay?” I shout when Kiara drifts in and out of consciousness.
