“Yes, he does.” I turn. “And I have them.”
Harlon pushes me toward Gage and my alpha man pulls me into his arms. My weakness for the dimples in his smile is never-ending. He wraps my arms around his neck and I cling to him willingly. “Let’s go home,” he growls possessively. I tremble under his caring touch. The way his hand settles over my womb.
Home. My heart swells so large I have a hard time breathing for a moment.
Home.
Not a suite in the underground’s tower of secrets full of betrayal, hidden enemies and death. But a real home. Where a family can be raised, loved, and live freely.
A home where my filthy seals can do anything they like to me.
Rush and Aziel take the place of Santi and Cassius. I swivel my head and catch Harlon’s gaze over Aziel’s shoulder. I silently mouthI love you. He does the same and for the first time in my life I feel like my life is complete. In my heart of hearts, I know he will find happiness again. I only hope he lives long enough to enjoy it. Death is a constant companion in our world of crime and bloodshed. His world, I correct. While I’ll always be blood and die for my family, I have a new one to protect now.
Gage swings me into his arms as we head for the elevator. “I think we need to call New York and tell them we can’t come after all.”
“You sure about that, sweetheart? You round and plump with our baby would be sexy as hell to show off.”
I turn to make sure we are out of earshot from my brother. “We’ll see,” I say and let them lead the way to the rest of our lives.
Epilogue
Belle
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Now or never. Another few months and I’ll need a crane to lift all this.” I gesture toward my growing baby bump.
I’m sitting across the table from Nyx. She’s lost the pigtails and is in full supermodel glamor mode with her long tresses of hair and painted-on body suit.
Like for real. Actually painted on. I’m wholly green with envy.
“Will you stop staring at my nipples? You’re going to make them hard and then my little pasties will pop off.”
I giggle uncontrollably catching the eye of a few Club Sin members.
“I know three someones willing to lick those seashells to stick them back on.” Her three partners are coming in behind mine looking confident and eyes only for their woman.
“Your daddies are looking for you.” Nyx tracks my gaze to her three fine silver foxes. She hasn’t told me much about them, but I can see well enough they are powerful men with deep pockets. It’s evident in their diamond-studded cufflinks and thousand-dollar suits. I know what it takes to get that kind of money. It takes ruthless power and undeterred focus. They’re slightly older than my guys but hot as hell. When she finds her men coming closer the sultry desire in her eyes glitter.
“So are yours,” she quips back and I don’t try to hide my silly smile.
“Yeah, and mine,” I agree. She is too occupied to see the heat on my face. It’s been five months since I walked out of my brother’s office as a free mafia princess. No more crown, no more prisons for my own protection.
Aziel leads the pack of alphas through the crowd toward our table. Rush is shoulder to shoulder with Gage who is scanning the crowd for what I assume are possible threats. Ever since he learned I’m underground royalty he sees everyone as a potential threat to our small unit.
The second my gaze connects with theirs, the world no longer exists. Their energy reaches for me and mine for them.
Love. Fuck. It’s beautiful.
To my left Nyx isn’t faring any better. She has the look of a woman torn between loving her men and wanting to run. I wonder if she knows just how hooked on them she really is? There’s no way that woman is running. Not and get far. Those men don’t look the type to let their property get far and make no mistake. They are the possessive type.
The lights dim, signaling us it’s almost time.
Room Two has turned into quite the attraction. It’s been a few months since Aziel, Rush, Gage and I have been on stage, but we’ve promised one last show before we all head to New York. The men have military friends who live on a lake with a cabin rental business. They’re forming a security team for the elite as a way to use their honed skills for good.
All it took was one phone call with my men and they jumped at the idea now that they are all retired.
Woods, beautiful sunsets, and all the space the men and I will need to raise a family. Sign me up. I’m dying to start painting again. I’m a city girl to my core, but home is where they are at. Besides, they’ve promised me regular trips to the city which I will need when it comes time to start showing my art. I already have a few shows lined up next spring. After sending my portfolio into a few galleries it didn’t take long to get callbacks. Now I’m on the road to getting recognized. Fingers crossed. Who knows, but it’s exciting.
