I need this. I need her.

“You’ve ruined me in the best possible way.”

She drops her forehead to mine and trembles. “You ruined me the moment I met you Xavier Stone. When you smiled at me under the chestnut tree, I knew you belonged to me.”

My hands fly under her dress, ripping the lace of her panties to shreds, tossing it across the room.

Her eyes widen at my possessiveness, and it fuels me on.

“Let me show you who you belong to,” I groan out.

“Only you.”

For the rest of the night, I do just that. I show her we belong together. I make love to her over and over.

And when our bodies have calmed, I lean over and brush a stray strand of auburn hair from her face. “I promise you I’ll keep you safe.”

“I trust you,” she says her eyes shining with love.

“I have one more secret,” I say to her.

“Hmm,” she hums.

“We can’t stay here.” I hope she goes for it. I hope she says yes.

“I figured.”

“Pick a country.”

Her eyes grow larger. “Are you serious?”

I smile. “Yes.”

Her smile widens. “Ireland?”

I kiss her cheek. “How did I know you were going to pick that?” I kiss her lips. “I’ve already got your castle ready, princess.”

Chapter 36

Rhiannon

The plush green rolling hills of Ireland make my heart swell every morning when I step outside with my morning coffee. I want to yell ‘Top of the mornin’ to ye’ every single time. And maybe I have a time or two.

When Xavier says he had a castle ready for me, well, he wasn’t kidding. This place is like right out of a Celtic romance novel from the late 1500’s.

Of course, it has all the modern upgrades and amenities.

I thought I would miss my life in America, but the longer I fill my life with the happiness Xavier gives me, the more I realize I don’t miss a thing.

Sometimes I do miss my mother, but she comes to visit, and I just feel very... lucky. Luck of the Irish.

Someone who doesn't have luck is my father. Once they could seize his records for evidence, more stuff popped up. He was as crooked as a zig zag line. Not just him though. Many politicians, Ian included, are up for indictments as well.

It’s like a blood fest in the US government, each backstabbing the other to come out on top. But, you know who’s not coming out anywhere near the top? My father. Even with his team of top lawyers, and his men doing some dirty work, there’s no way my father will get out of not serving his life in prison.

It’s mainly more of a fight to see if he’ll be put to death.

My biggest worry is Xavier.
