“You deserve it all, sunshine. I’d hang the moon for you if you asked me to.”
But that’s the man I love. Lorenzo Moretti is my partner. My lover. My Dom. My best friend. My everything.
I swear Mia’s smile could light up the entire city. My sunshine.
I’m proud of me too. After Anya died, I thought there was no life for me at all. I certainly didn’t imagine I would experience any of this. There was no doubt in my mind that there could be no one else for me. And then I met my Mia. A woman who’s impossible not to fall in love with. There’s only so long you can stand in the sun before succumbing to its heat. I’m not sure anyone else could have melted my ice-cold heart the way that she has. And now she’s giving me a son too. She is fucking everything.
But Lorenzo encourages me to do whatever it is that keeps me true to my real self, and that includes making friends through work, at The Peacock Club, in my prenatal class. He supports every single thing I do, even encouraging me to start up my own aromatherapy business when I wasn’t sure I had what it took. Now the business is thriving—I’m thriving. With his love and support, I can conquer the world.
“You want to play, sunshine?”
“Please, Sir.”
“That’s my good girl.”
I love Lorenzo’s punishments and his teasing, but when he rewards me for being good—well, that’s a whole new level of ecstasy.
“I wonder what part of you I should fuck tonight, huh?”
“Every part of me,”
“A greedy little sub too.”
“Greedy for yo...

“You look handsome, Daddy,”
Luca says. My eyes find his in the mirror. His are deep pools of brown—full of happiness and trust. Three years old and, along with his two-year-old sister, Raven, the apple of mine and his mother’s eye.
“Thanks,...

Ten cousins all growing up in one house—it can get rowdy. They adore one another, and although they fight and squabble constantly, they fight for each other as much as against. They’re going to rule the fucking world together once they’re all grown. And nobody knows besides us yet, but Mia and I are about to add one more to the brood. We didn’t plan a third, but I spend so much time inside her, those odds were never going to be in our favor.
“Thank you, and not just for this. Thank you for loving me, sunshine. For giving me Luca and Raven and the new little guy. For bringing me joy beyond anything I could’ve imagined ever having again. And thank you for thinking about Anya today. It means everything to me.”
“She’s a part of you, Lorenzo, and I love all of you.”
“You’re better than perfect, Mia. You’re fucking incredible. You and our children are everything to me, you know that, right?”
“You’re everything to me too, Sir.”
I can’t stand not having her in my arms for a single second longer. Closing my eyes, I pull h...

“Me too,” she giggles. “I don’t want to see you until I’m walking down the aisle.”
“We’d better make this quick before Joey comes in here and busts us.”

Someone places a glass of champagne in my hand, and I accept it with a smile. As soon as their back is turned, Lorenzo switches it out for his empty one, giving me a knowing wink.
Lorenzo Moretti isn’t a dancer, but he happily took the floor with me for our wedding song, and now I’m content to sit beside him with his arm draped around my shoulder. As long as he’s by my side, I’m happy and at peace. It’s hard to believe that a man so dangerous and violent is the man who makes me feel safer and more cherished than I ever have in my life.
“You feeling okay, sunshine?”

“But I’d do anything for you, sunshine.”
“I love you, sunshine.”
“I love you too.”
