However, like most things in my life recently, my plans for the future went out of the fucking window, and this was because someone was sitting in my desk chair.
“Have you come about the position?” a female voice from my past said, and I knew then that I must have been fucking dreaming of her again.
“Because I must warn you, it’s dangerous being married to me,” she said, now spinning the chair around and facing me, making me gasp as I stumbled a step back, my hand needing to go to the doorframe just to keep myself to my feet.
“This… you… by gods please, let you be real this time,” I stammered, making her give me soft, tender look, one I had missed more than if someone had taken a fucking limb. Then she stood up and started walking toward me. And fuck me, but I was too afraid to move in case this heavenly moment was ripped from me. The sway of her hips in a tight black dress… she was fucking sin and temptation.
“This has to be another dream,” I admitted as she came closer, before suddenly her hand reached up and touched me. Her small feminine hand, one I had taken such pleasure in playing with, it was now cupping my cheek and making me suck in a deep breath.
“Then let us both dream together, for finding you again is the only dream I ever want to wake up to,” she said before pulling my face down so as she could kiss me. And the second her lips touched mine, I knew then that this was no dream.
It was my everything.
She was my everything.
Which was why, for the second time in my life, tears filled my eyes and rolled down my cheeks, now merging with her own.
“You’re real,” I breathed out, making her nod her head, her own emotions overwhelming her enough to rid her of the words. Words I needed to hear.
“Please, tell me you’re real, Little Bird, for I fear this is another form of Hell that I cannot survive this time.” But then she spoke and said the most beautiful words I could ever have imagined.
“I am real. I am here and I love you, Ryker…”
“…The thief who stole my heart.”
EPILOGUE
RYKER
It had taken my men some time, but I had finally tracked down the man I had been hunting. Of course, Evie had no idea, and I would not tell her, not for some time at least. At least not until after the honeymoon, for after dealing with this, that was exactly where I was headed.
Of course, after I finally got my Siren back, it had taken me a while to calm myself enough to even leave the same room as her. I think it had been a whole week where I had locked us both in our room, having only food brought to us, and she was allowed nowhere near the fucking door.
Yes, this may have been as irrational as she accused me of being, but then I would only have to remind her of the pain she put me through and, well… I would get my way. Because I knew she felt guilty for the decision she made that day, but I knew I couldn’t blame her forever. Punish her sexually, yes, I did plenty of that in the days that followed. However, she had only one last request…
That I forgive not only her, but also…
Vander.
This, I had an even harder time doing, but in the end, she begged me, and I found that I couldn’t deny her any longer. Especially when she told me that she would only marry me if I made Vander my best man. Then pointed out that I would first need to be talking to him once again in order for that to happen.
So, I found my will crumbling and, therefore, he was standing at the end of the aisle wearing a suit next to me at our wedding. A wedding we had overlooking the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful but not as beautiful as my bride, for she simply took my breath away. Her true father, Arthur, walked her down the aisle, looking the proudest man in the world.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Just like the painting he had gifted me with after the reception, the one I had wanted to buy that day I visited him in the cabin. And now one that was hung proudly in our home to remind me of the beauty I saw that day. The same beauty I saw every day when I woke up next to my little bird.
My dove.
My Siren.
Which was why I had one last piece of Evelyn’s past I needed to eradicate before getting on a plane and starting the rest of our lives together.
So, I opened the door to the prison cell he was being kept in, and a satisfied smile graced my lips as I saw the man hung by a chain, stripped naked, and beaten enough to know that Vander and the boys had their fun with him. Of course, they all loved Evie, so when they discovered the truth of why she ran as a child, they each wanted a piece of the mortal shit stain.
Hades included.
“Wh-what… are you… going to do… to me?” His fearful voice questioned and, again, I grinned at the sight, before allowing my Demon to take form, knowing his fear was what I truly wanted to see.
Well, not just his fear, a great deal of pain too.
“What do you think? I am here to get the job done properly this time… oh, and my wife, Evelyn, sends her regards.” Then I closed the door and cut of the sound of her step-father’s screams.
Oh yes…
It was a good day for the Son of Greed.
The End.
