EVERLEIGH The drive down to the stables was quick and quiet. I could see his shoulders becoming more and more tense the closer we came to our destination. We were greeted at the gigantic sliding barn door by a man dressed in jeans, boots, a blue plaid shirt and a baseball cap that had seen better days. I could see his ink black hair, streaked with gray, as he pushed his hat back away from his face. No doubt this man was good looking back in his heyday.He greets us with a huge smile and clapps Ronan on the back with his massive hand. Ronan steps out of the side by side, holding his hand out for me to slide across the bench seat."Bradley." He greets the man with a nod. "Everleigh, this is our ranch manager, Bradley Jenkins.""Everleigh Logan." I extend my hand in greeting. "Jenkins… Does that make…"He cut me off with a grin and a far away look. "My Emily and I have been married for going on forty years now. She's still as beautiful as the day I met her."The love he has for his wi
EVERLEIGHHis sky blue eyes sparkled like diamonds in the moonlight as he pressed soft kisses across my shoulder. The heat of his body on top of mine makes my body shiver when his wet kisses are exposed to the cool night air. Who would have thought the lips of the devil could be so gentle? But he isn’t the devil I thought him to be now is he? This man is a contradiction wrapped in the beautiful package of an enigma. It’s going to take more than one afternoon together to figure him out. And after witnessing his utter heartbreak this afternoon, I think I am more than ready to accept the challenge that is Ronan Callaghan.I watch as his hands lightly skim down my body, stopping only to pull my shirt over my hips.Wait… When did I get dressed? And who’s shirt is this? Fuck it. It’s a dream anyway. Even in sleep I can tell the difference. I give myself over to the feel of his hands on my skin and the tenderness of the kisses he litters my body with.The butterflies in my stomach are flutt
RONANRound two in the shower went much like the first round in the bedroom, except I nailed her from behind. I could fuck that pussy for the rest of my life and I don’t think I will ever get enough.It seems that Ms. Logan likes it hard and fast just as much as she likes it soft and slow. After we got her bedroom cleaned up from all of the mud Samson slung around the room, I pushed her against the closed door and pounded her again for a third time.By the time round three was over we were both utterly spent and exhausted. It was after one in the afternoon and I still had some work that I needed to get done this evening before I made my rounds at the club tonight.Normally I let Brennan take care of the running of my nightclub, but the last few weeks there has been a group of unknown thugs stirring up trouble. Plus it will give me the excuse to lure Everleigh out for a night on the town.I left her naked on her bed with a slap on the ass and a squeal that still has my dick hard.Bren
EVERLEIGH It didn't take as much convincing Gran to leave the apartment as I thought it would. But why would it? If Ronan is correct, then Gran has been putting off moving in with his grandfather for quite some time now. I can't believe she didn't tell me. It's not that I would have thought any less of her. She never does anything for herself. I don't even remember the last time she took a vacation that wasn't longer than a weekend away. Come to think of it, I wonder if those weekends away were with Patrick?I never knew my grandfather, he died before I was born, and what little I did know of him was that he was a mean son of a bitch. So what if Gran has a weekly romp in the sheets with Ronan's grandfather. They're both consenting adults.How is that any worse than what happened in my bedroom this morning?Gran and I rode the elevator up to the twentieth floor. Patrick's apartment was on this floor along with Rowan's. Ronan rang the doorbell to his grandfather's apartment and the t
RONAN The club was just getting up and running when we pulled into the underground parking garage. I left Everleigh at the penthouse with Oisin and Rhyon. Oisin was supposed to be helping her pick out something to wear. I'm only hoping I stressed the word 'appropriate' enough for his devious little mind to comprehend.There is no way in hell I want a replay of the fashion disaster that he picked for her for the engagement party. Actually, I take that back. That dress was sexy as fuck. And I know that I got a flash of her pussy a time or two so it makes me wonder if anyone else did too. And if I ever find out… I’ll kill them all.I followed Rannon up to my office as Connor and Brennan waited for the twins and Lucian to arrive. I have a few questions for them regarding Everleigh’s scars and I am hoping they can give me the answers that I need.Rannon unlocked the door and pushed it open. I went in and turned the light on while my brother made use of the mini bar. I stood at the wall
EVERLEIGHSEVERAL HOURS EARLIERI stood in the walk-in closet and just stared. It’s only been an hour or so since we went down and met with Rogan, so I know I haven't fallen asleep and missed a day or ten. What Ronan referred to as my side of the closet was relatively empty when we had left. Now I’m standing in a fully stocked closet. Did I fall through some kind of alternate dimension? Does clothing multiply like Tribbles? I ran my hand along the tops of the hangers, taking in the feel of the different fabrics against my skin. Silk and Satin.Chiffon and Lace.And why does he keep sending Oisin after clothes for me? The last dress I wore was almost a disaster.I stood back and took all of it in. It was all organized by categories. Sleepwear, casual, dinner, formal… There were more clothes here than I would wear in a year.I found a silk robe hanging with the sleep wear. I quickly undressed and slid the robe on, letting the cool fabric kiss my heated skin. I leafed through the hang
RONAN I broke the kiss almost as quickly as I had started it. She looked up at me with her big blue eyes and I melted. I am beyond pissed right now, but I don't need to take it out on her. I can feel the slight tremble run through her body, but I don't know if it's because she's scared or turned on.I take a step back, but not before I fix her with a blank stare and wrap my fingers lightly around her throat."If another man touches you, I will end him." I said, the dark tone in my voice emphasized by the slight squeeze of my fingers. Her eyes went wide only for a second before something else took over. I saw the look in her eyes for what it really was. She fucking likes it when I manhandled her!"Watch out for Luciano. He knows you're mine and wants to make a game of it." If I wasn't so pissed at the situation I may have actually laughed at the look on her face. "You know him?" She asked incredulously. "I would hate to have to kill my best friend." I was really having trouble k
RONAN It's been almost a week since the incident at the club and we are nowhere closer to figuring out this mystery than we were the day Everleigh fell through the conference room doors. When I brought her home from the clinic I put her in one of the guest bedrooms. Whatever that asshole injected her with didn't come up on any of Rogans scans. Whatever that shit was fucked her up good. She was out for three and a half days. 'Out' is putting it very loosely. She had vivid nightmares. Rogan stayed with her the first night and she talked to him through the hell that was going on in her sleep. The second night was so bad I had to go down and get Samson from Eden.But the third night… that one almost broke me. Maksimillian stayed with her that night. She told him exactly everything they did to her in such detail that it made me sick to my stomach when I watched the video back. In all the years that I have known him, I've never seen him break down the way he did that night. He has been
