EVERLEIGH The hotel suite was the epitome of high luxury. The floor to ceiling windows the bed was facing overlooked the city. The walls were a cream and gold damask with a wainscoting that was the same color of cream.The city skyline during the day was a sight to behold. The city skyline lit up at night was something else all together. I made my way around the room, gently poking and prodding the expensive decor scattered around the room. Ronan disappeared somewhere into the suite. It was massive so that was easy to do. There was a living area with a giant white sectional and a huge flat screen TV hanging over an ornate fireplace. There were three extra bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, a small office and a decent sized kitchen and dining area. The color scheme throughout is tied together seamlessly. Soft cream and gold. Except for the master bathroom. And that is where I found him. He was leaning over the massive jacuzzi tub testing the water with his hand.At some point

RONAN This wasn't the way I had planned for the night to go. Sure, I planned to get her relaxed and get her mind off of the incident when we got here. The incident which she handled like the true queen she is. I know the little firecracker sleeping in my arms has a temper. But she's also unsure of herself. I half expected her to shrink in the background and let Callie walk all over her. But then again, with the way she handled Beau’s wise ass, I also expected her to throw a punch or two.I definitely wasn't expecting the bite marks or the claw marks. She's a little hell cat that's for sure. And I can't wait to see what life has in store for us.If her first climax in the tub is any indication I gladly accept my fate. Her pussy was gripping my cock so tight I almost came with her right there. I knew my plans for the night were out the window when I bent her over the bathroom counter and fucked her like a mad man. Then I fucked her against the shower wall with her screaming my name

EVERLEIGH That conversation was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I didn't expect Ronan to actually let me go with them to get Adrie and Kade.But then again he sent me with Rannon, so by extension, himself. The elevator opened into the parking garage. The guys led me to a bank of black SUVs. I walked over to the driver side of one and held my hand out to Rannon."Keys.""Nope." He said, popping the P.I snapped my fingers at him and held my hand out again. We were having a good old fashioned Mexican standoff. "Fine." I said turning on my heel and heading for the emergency exit that leads to the alleyway between this building and Gran's shop. "I'll drive myself."Before my hand could touch the door, I was being thrown over the giant's shoulder and taken back to the elevator. "Put me down, you giant son of a bitch!" I screamed, hitting him in the back with my good fist.He loosened his hold just for a second and that was all I needed. I threw my leg as far back as I could and

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!EVERLEIGH It's been four days since we brought Adrianna here. Four days since she has spoken. Not that she really could. At some point that asshole had choked her and her voice was just coming back to her.I sat with her in the bed Rannon moved her to after Dr. Tierney finished her examination. Turns out, Claire is Connors younger sister. That would explain why she seemed so familiar to me.Oisin and Kierian have taken to babysitting Kade with a gusto. They take him to his favorite park every afternoon which is where they are now. He calls them Kierie and Oishie and he chatters nonstop about them.Brennan's wife, Ava, came in yesterday to pick up Kade for a play date. She was a quiet woman, with short blonde hair and light brown eyes. She brought their six year old daughter, Bailey and their three year old son, Bryce up with her to pick up Kade. I sat cradling Adrianna's hand in my lap. There are defensive marks all over her han

EVERLEIGH Preparations for the party were in full swing by the time we got to the ranch. Mrs. Jenkins was baking up a storm when we got here yesterday, and she's still baking today. The smell of cinnamon apples drifted through the ranch house, teasing all who were there with smelling distance, with the promise of a delicious dessert. I followed my nose through the halls until I came to the kitchen. I could see Mrs. Jenkins bustling about making dough for what looks to be another pie. Before I can take a step into the kitchen, a strong arm wraps around my waist and a large hand covers my mouth. The thick Irish accent in my ear has me calm before I could scream."Don't make a sound, you'll blow the mission." I turn my head to see Sean behind me, mischief dancing in his eyes. My brows furrowed in confusion as he led me into the broom closet next to the kitchen."What are you doing?" I whispered, as soon as he took his hand from my mouth."Operation: Apple Pie." The door to the clo
