Before we left, we took another quick look around, and Gunner made sure to show me the bidet as we strolled through the enormous master bathroom. I hated to leave, but it was time for us to head over to Blaze’s. When we got outside, I stopped, and as I took one more look at our future home, I was overcome with joy. Once I’d gotten back on Shadow’s bike, I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a squeeze. “I love you, Mason.”
He turned around to face me, and just before he pressed his lips to mine, he whispered, “And I love you, Alejandra.”
Our tender moment was derailed when Gunner shouted, “Come on, you two! We’re gonna be late!”
With an irritated groan, Shadow started the engine, and with Gunner and T-Bone following close behind, he backed out of the driveway and headed over to Blaze’s. By the time we got there, several of the guys had already gathered around the grill and were watching Moose as he prepared his special BBQ ribs. After we said our hellos, we headed inside to see what we could do to help. When we walked into the kitchen, Kenedee was taking the beans out of the stove, while Blaze was gathering the plates and utensils to take outside. I walked over to Kenedee and asked, “Hey. Is there anything I can do to help?”
“I think I’ve got everything, except the deserts. Would you mind grabbing them from the fridge?”
“Sure!”
Shadow helped me take the various pies out to the picnic tables, and in no time, Kenedee and Blaze had everything ready to go. The guys were practically frothing at the mouth as Moose placed the meat in the center of the table, and as soon as Gus had given the blessing, they all dove in, piling their plates with food. Shadow and I had just sat down to eat, when Jason pulled up, and to my surprise, he hadn’t come alone. When he started towards us, there was a beautiful, young blonde by his side, and from the look on her face, she was quite taken with him. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched them sit down next to us. “Hey. I’m glad you could make it. Who’s your friend?”
“This is Alice. We met at Newman’s a few weekends ago.” He turned to her and said, “This is Alex and that’s her guy, Shadow.”
A light blush crossed her face as she looked over at us. “It’s really nice to meet you both. I’ve heard a lot about ya.”
“It’s nice to meet you, too.”
“It took some convincing to get her to agree to come, but once I told her about Moose’s BBQ, there was no way she could turn me down.” He reached across the table and as he started making them both a plate, he looked over to Blaze and Gunner and said, “Hey, guys. How’s it going?”
With their mouths full of food, they both answered, “Good.”
Just before Jason sat back down, T-Bone leaned towards him and whispered, “Got yourself a nice piece there, brother. I’m impressed.”
Jason gave him a quick nod and smiled. “Thanks, man. Just remember she’s taken.”
“I’ll do my best,” he chuckled.
Once he’d finished making their plates, he came back over to the table and sat Alice’s food down in front of her and smiled. “See. It looks awesome, doesn’t it.”
“Yes, it does.”
“It tastes even better.”
We all started to eat, and as we sat there talking, I quickly realized that Jason had found his perfect match. They both had similar tastes in music, and whenever he got out of hand, she quickly put him in his place. I liked that about her, and apparently, he did, too. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. I’d never seen him so smitten, and it did my heart good to see him so happy.
We had just finished eating when Jason turned to Shadow and said, “I owe you an apology.”
Shadow’s eyebrows furrowed as he asked, “What for?”
“The night after you helped Alex to her car, I told her that she should steer clear of you. I’d heard some things about your club, and I was worried she might get hurt if she got involved with you. After getting to know you and your brothers, I see how wrong I was.”
“Appreciate that, but it wasn’t necessary.”
“It was. You make her happy, and nobody deserves to be happy as much as she does.”
“Couldn’t agree more.”
As Jason and Alice got up from the table, he turned to me and said, “Well, I hate to eat and run, but we have a concert to get to.”
I walked over and gave him a quick hug. “I hope you have a great time.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to come?”
“No.” I shook my head and smiled. “We’ll catch the next one.”
“Okay. Suit yourself.”
After he said his goodbyes to the others, Jason took Alice’s hand in his and led her back to his car. Once they were gone, Shadow and I helped get everything cleaned up and put away. The guys were all standing around the fire, and I was expecting Shadow to go over and join them. Instead, he came over to me and asked, “You ready to go?”
“You don’t want to stay?”
“We could, but I’m not sure staying out late is a good idea. We’re going to have a long day tomorrow.”
I didn’t realize we had plans, so I asked, “Why? What are we going to be doing?”
“Moving into our new house.”
“What are you talking about? We haven’t even bought the house yet.”
“I made a call to the relator. Offered to pay extra if we could move in right away, and the buyers accepted.”
“You’re kidding me!”
“Nope. The house is ours. She’s bringing the papers by first thing in the morning, and once we’ve signed, she’ll hand over the keys.”
“I don’t know how you did it, but I’m glad you did!” I reached up and hugged him. “Oh, God. There’s so much stuff at my apartment! It’s going to take me forever to pack.”
“We have plenty of time for all of that.” He pressed his lips against mine, then said, “Right now, I just want to spend the night making love to my girl. You good with that?”
“Yeah, I’m good with that. I’m always good with that.”
EPILOGUE
There’s no better feeling than having her in my arms, listening to the sound of her breathing as she nestles her head beneath my chin. She was perfect in every way. Her rosy cheeks and big brown eyes melted my heart. There was only one other person who could get to me the way she did, and that was her mother. They both filled my heart with a love like I’d never known, and there was nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for either of them. Over the past few months, I’d made a habit of rocking her too long. Alex fussed at me, telling me that I was spoiling her, but I just couldn’t help myself. Emma was just eight months old and still so tiny. I wanted to cherish these moments with her while I still could. It wouldn’t be long before she was crawling, then walking. I knew when that time came, she would want to explore the world, and moments like these would be no more.
I glanced over at the clock, and when I saw that it was after midnight, I knew I had to put her down. I eased out of the rocker, and after I laid her in the crib, I waited several minutes to make sure she didn’t stir. Once I was certain she was sleeping soundly, I went across the hall to our bedroom. When I slipped into bed, Alex rolled over to face me. “Is she asleep?”
“Out like a light.”
“Good.”
As I ran my fingers through her hair, I asked, “Are you going to work tomorrow?”
“I haven’t decided yet. I was thinking I would let Alice handle things for the day, but I really need to place an order before the end of the week. I should probably run over there in the morning.”
After we were married, I tried to convince her to move the bookstore to a better location, but that building held too many good memories and she couldn’t stand the thought of leaving them behind. I decided not to fight it. Now that she was tied to Fury, there was little chance anyone would have the nerve to fuck with her, and my brothers and I would make sure that they didn’t. Knowing she would be safe while she was there, I told her, “I’ll be around if you need me.”
She eased closer, and an all-consuming need rushed through me as soon as I felt her body next to mine. Even though it was late, I couldn’t resist having her. I eased on top of her, carefully positioning my knees at her side as I hovered over her. A knowing smile crossed her face as I reached for the hem of her t-shirt. “Can I help you with something?”
“You sure can,” I answered as I eased her shirt over her head.
“I thought you’d never ask,” she teased, knowing we’d just had sex earlier that morning. I widened my gait, giving her room to remove her panties, and once she was completely undressed, she lied still beneath. She looked up at me, so trusting and full of desire, and I couldn’t imagine wanting anything more. Without saying a word, I pulled off my boxers and positioned myself between her legs. She looked up at me with her eyes full of desire as I brushed my throbbing cock along her center, driving us both wild with need.
“Mason,” she pleaded as she wrapped her legs around me, pulling me forward. A deep growl vibrated through my chest as I thrust deep inside her. She felt so damn good and I couldn’t resist driving into her again and again. My pace became hard and demanding, but she tightened her legs around my waist and rocked against me, encouraging me to give her more. I growled as I ground my hips against her.
I buried my face in her neck as I growled, “Fuck. I’ll never get enough of you.”
I thrust deeply, again and again, each move more intense than the last. Her head fell back as my cock raked against her G spot, causing her to tense around me. I raked my teeth over her breast as I took her nipple in my mouth. Every nerve in her body seemed to explode with my touch, and while I was enjoying every single moment of watching her come undone, my resistance was faltering. Her breath quickened as she clamped down around my cock, making it damn near impossible not to come.
“Oh, God! Mason!”
A deep groan vibrated through my throat as I continued to drive deep inside her. I could feel her imminent release, so I thrust harder, deeper, forcing her over the edge. Her hands dropped to her side and she fisted the sheets in her hands. Her orgasm took hold and I tried to fight it, but it was futile. With her body spasming around me, she wrapped her arms around my neck, and I felt her breath against my chest as I drove deeper inside her once more, finally giving into my own release.
Overcome with exhaustion, I collapsed on the bed next to her. Once we’d had a chance to catch our breath, I reached for her, pulling her closer as I said, “I don’t know how you do it. Just when I didn’t think it was possible, you find a way to make me love you even more.”
“That must mean I’m doing something right.”
“You’re doing everything right,” I told her as I kissed her on the temple.
“Well, just so you know … I love you more every day, too. Falling for you was the best thing I ever did.”
“I guess that means I’m doing something right.”
“Absolutely … except for one thing … spoiling our daughter.” With a sexy little smirk, she continued, “When she becomes a total nightmare, you’re going to be the one who has to set her straight.”
“If I can handle the brothers, I can handle her.”
“I hope you’re right.” A soft smile crossed her face as she said, “Especially since she has a little brother or sister on the way.”
“What?”
“Yep. It looks like you’re going to be a daddy again. You okay with that?”
“Yeah, I’m definitely okay with that.” I placed my hand on her belly as I said, “A little brother or sister. That’s incredible.”
“Yeah, it is. Our life just keeps getting better and better.”
“Baby, we’re just getting started.”

PROLOGUE
I was never one of those guys who bought into all that love at first sight bullshit. Hell, it’s not like it’s hard to get shit mixed up when your hormones get to talking. A raging hard-on over a smoking hot chick can do things to a man’s head and make him think he’s feeling something he’s not. The next thing he knows, he’s convinced he’s met the one. I’d been worked up over my fair share of gorgeous women, but never once had love ever crossed my mind, especially over some chick I didn’t even know. The notion seemed completely absurd until her.
Some of my brothers and I had taken Blaze down to Sullivan’s to celebrate his birthday. We hadn’t been there long when I noticed her sitting at one of the back tables with several of her friends. They were all beautiful women, dolled up in their Saturday-night-best, but none of them held a candle to her.
With just one glance, she had me completely captivated, making me oblivious to everyone else in the room, including my brothers who were sitting right next to me at the bar. I couldn’t explain it. There was something different about her—something that drew me to her like nothing I’d ever felt before. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. For almost an hour, I sat there just watching her, studying the way her mouth moved when she spoke, how her head fell back every time she laughed, and the way those crystal blue eyes of hers sparkled with desire every time they locked on mine. Fuck. Just seeing that glimmer of interest made me want to throw her over my shoulder and carry her right out of that bar, claiming her as mine in the most carnal way.
I got my window of opportunity when I noticed an empty seat right beside her. A couple of her friends got up to go to the restroom, so I grabbed two beers and walked over to her table. When she noticed me coming in her direction, she quickly turned and whispered something to her friend, which made me wonder if I’d misread her look of interest, until she glanced back over to me with a nervous smile. Damn. That smile got me right to the core. I tried to keep my cool as I casually sat down next to her and asked, “Is this seat taken?”
“It is now,” she answered in a playful voice.
The blonde sitting next to her leaned forward and her words were slurred as she mumbled, “Damn, Reece. You were right. He is hot.”
Her eyes widened as she scolded, “Danielle!”
“What? You were just saying how good-looking you thought—”
“Danielle!”
Ignoring her friend’s protest, Danielle pointed her finger at me as she said, “Girl, you need to get you some of that.”
“Oh, good Lord. Will you stop?”
“What? Take a look at him … those pretty green eyes and a hot bod to match.” The chick was practically drooling as she just kept at it, “Hell, I’d bang him in a heartbeat.”
Reece turned to me with a mortified expression and said, “Please, ignore her. She’s normally not so obnoxious. It’s just the alcohol talking.”
“It has a way of doing that.” I motioned my hand towards their collection of empty beer bottles and shot glasses. “Looks like you ladies are having a big time.”
“One of my sorority sisters just got engaged, so we’re out celebrating with her. It’s been fun, but I’m the backup DD. I’m just biding my time until I can get out of here.”
“Backup DD?”
“Yeah.” She shrugged. “We’ve had a few mishaps with designated drivers over the years. My girls aren’t exactly reliable when it comes to hot guys and booze.”
“I can see where that could be a problem.” I chuckled as I lifted the beer I’d brought over for her. “I guess you won’t be needing this.”
Before she could respond, one of her friends said, “Go for it, Reece. I’m good. I haven’t had a drop all night. I can make it another hour or two.”
“Okay, but I’m holding you to that.” Reece took the beer from my hand and said, “Thank you.”
Remembering that she mentioned her sorority sister, I asked, “You go to school around here?”
“Yes and no. I’ve been going to U of M, but I’m about to transfer to Vanderbilt University in a couple of
weeks. I’m hoping to get my law degree there.”
I couldn’t imagine why someone so sweet and innocent would want to become a lawyer, but I could hear the passion in her voice when she talked about getting her degree. For one reason or another, it clearly meant something to her. She’d just started to say something else when she stopped and glanced down at my hand. I was fidgeting with my old Zippo lighter, causing it to cast a flicker of sparks every time I raked my thumb over the flint wheel. It was something I’d started doing after I’d quit smoking. When I realized it had caught her attention, I smiled and said, “Sorry. Nervous habit.”
“Nervous habit, huh? Are you saying I make you nervous?”
“I have a feeling I’m not the first guy you’ve made feel that way.”
She smiled brightly as she replied, “I don’t know about that, but if it makes you feel any better, you make me pretty nervous, too.”
“I’ll take that as a good sign.”
“Yes. I’d say that’s a very good sign.”
I twirled the lighter in my hand, and just as I was shoving it into my back pocket, the intro to “Faithfully” started to play. She let out a deep breath and smiled as she said, “I just love Journey. They have to be my all-time favorite band.”
“Can’t disagree with you there.”
Danielle leaned across the table and mumbled, “Hey … you. Mr. Tough Guy with the hot bod. You need to get out there and dance with my girl … show her a good time.”
Before she had a chance to argue, I extended my hand. “You heard the lady.”
“But …”
“Girl, if you don’t dance with him, then I will.” Danielle snickered.
I chuckled as Reece took my hand in hers and said, “I’m going. I’m going.”
“Good … and don’t forget to do a little smooching and ass grabbing while you’re out there,” Danielle ordered.
Reece looked over to the group’s designated driver and laughed as she announced, “No more booze for Danielle!”
