Lessons in Purrsuasion: BBW Paranormal Werelion Surprise Pregnancy Mob Romance (Chicago Catastrophe)

by Nowlan,Anya

  “Stone Calloway, do you take this woman, Selina Rozack to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to cherish and protect, love and honor her, in both good times and bad?” the minister’s steady voice flowed over the garden.

  Stone turned to face her, a smile on his full lips. His emerald eyes sucked her in as they had the first time she saw him and every time after that when their gazes met. He took her other hand in his as well before speaking.

  “I love you. You have given my life meaning. Getting to spend the rest of it with you is a gift that I will never take for granted. I take you to be my wife, now and forever, until death do us part.”

  Selina almost jumped to kiss him right then and there, but managed to hold back. She had no doubts that Stone meant every word. At first, Selina was concerned that moving back to Chicago to be with Selina and help her family expand their bakery would be awfully dull for Stone, the man of action he was.

  To her surprise, Stone reveled in it, taking pleasure in the simplest of tasks, grinning at Selina every chance he got. He even learned to cook, something he was totally horrible at when he first moved in to her tiny apartment.

  After giving the money they stole from Parker back to Parker’s organization through a proxy that Kate organizes, their lives had been nothing but boringly normal. Seeing as Stone took out one of Crimson Claws’ top lieutenants along with a bunch of his best men and found their cash stash, they were steering clear of Selina’s whole neighborhood now.

  Selina had a feeling the organization was using the returned money as a front, something they could use to justify leaving them alone. In truth, they were probably too scared to retaliate.

  The minister asked Selina the same question he had of Stone. Her heart swelled with emotion as she answered.

  “I have never loved anyone like I love you and I never will. I only hope to make you as happy as you’ve made me. I take you to be my husband, now and forever, until death do us part.”

  The minister didn’t even have a chance to say anything before Stone grabbed her into a fierce kiss that didn’t end until the guests’ initial “awws” and “oohs” turned to awkward silence. They broke apart with Selina out of breath and blushing while Stone was smiling from ear to ear.

  Joe cleared his throat with a suppressed smile, diverting Selina and Stone’s attention to the rings he was holding. They had both gotten carried away and completely forgotten that part. Stone took the rings, giving Joe a pat on the back in the process. Joe wasn’t having it and pulled him into a straight-up bear hug. He whispered something in Stone’s ear she couldn’t hear.

  Stone turned back to her and slid the gold band on her finger. Selina could swear she could hear a low purr emanating from his chest as he did. She slipped a matching ring around Stone’s finger, a huge smile spreading across her face.

  It just felt right.

  “I now pronounce you husband and wife!” the minister said and Selina almost couldn’t believe it.

  We did it! We’re married!

  Stone got on his knees and kissed her belly as well, before accompanying her down the aisle surrounded by cheers from friends and family. Selina tightened her fingers around Stone’s.

  Could life get any better?

  Stone scooped her up into his arms, twirling her around and whispering “I love you, Mrs. Calloway,” into her ear.

  Probably, Selina mused, answering her own question. I have a lifetime with him, after all. What could be better than that?

  Meow or Never Excerpt

  She was so preoccupied with her thoughts of oncoming relaxation that she almost screamed when a hand gently tapped against her shoulder. She hadn’t even heard any steps behind her, only adding to her panic. She whirled around, ready to use her car keys as a weapon, but froze when she saw who it was.

  “Troy?” she asked, incredulous.

  What’s he doing here?

  Her heart beat faster, but not due to fear any longer. As much as the Crimson Claws had dominated her thoughts that day, Troy had grabbed his fair share of time from her as well, and for good reason. He wasn’t the kind of guy that was easy to forget.

  Seeing him again, standing tall and with those delicious lips curved in a way that made her want to kiss the smirk right off his face, only confirmed that.

  Troy’s smirk turned into a grin as he shoved his hands into his pockets.

  “Hey. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

  He was still just as disarmingly good-looking as before, blue eyes sparkling with something mischievous. But it wasn’t just his looks that drew her in. There was this air of calm confidence and control about him that made her gravitate to him like a ship to a lighthouse on the stormy seas.

  “It’s fine. You just caught me off-guard,” she answered, still wondering what the hell he was doing lurking around her place.

  Not that she minded. Not entirely, anyway.

  “We didn’t really get a chance to talk this morning. You can tell me to take a hike, but I’d really like to take you to dinner. Since I knew nothing about you except for your first name and where you lived, I hung around here to wait until you got back. I swear I’m not a stalker, Hailey!”

  He raised his hands, putting on his best show of innocence, batting his lashes. She smiled slightly, appreciating the gesture.

  So he does remember my name. Score one for Romeo.
