23. Too Many To Choose From
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
24. Don't Test Me
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
25. The Proposal
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
26. It's Perfect
EVERLEIGH Ronan was in the kitchen when I came down for the day. He sat at the island scrolling through a tablet with a mug in his hand. He winked at me and his sinfully sexy smirk stopped me in my tracks.“Morning.”It was just one word and my ovaries were already working overtime. Why was his slight Irish accent so sexy? Everything about this man screams sex. And he’s just sitting in a pair of loose shorts, bare chest and tattoos exposed, pretending to be innocent. Does he know the effect his rich, smoky voice and those piercing blue eyes have on me?The fluttering in my chest and the heat spreading throughout my body were testament to what one look from Ronan Callaghan could do to a girl. The way that cocky bastard smirks at me lets me know he knows exactly the effect it has on me.We haven't so much as shared a bed in almost two weeks at this point. But that didn't stop him from his shameless flirting. He would catch me in a corner, get me all hot and bothered, and just leave
27. I Love Him
EVERLEIGH I stood in my room looking at my reflection in the mirror of the walk in closet. Adrianna, Rowan and Gran were all fussing about with my hair and dress. The row of pearl buttons along the back were a nice touch at the time but standing here having to have help to get in and out of the dress is for the birds.Ronan and his brother's left about an hour ago to head to the venue we will be getting married at. I still can't believe that Ronan wants to make it a surprise. Surprises like this are my least favorite. They make me anxious. I like my surprises to be spontaneous, like the day Ronan took me to his ranch. A soft knock at the door had me holding my breath until my brother popped his head in. It's still surreal to think that I have a family other than Adrie and Gran."Ladies, can we have the room for a minute?" Aleksandar asked with a slight smile. Rowan and Adrianna gave me one last look over before they left the room. Gran gave his shoulder a squeeze, almost as if she
28. She's A Vision
RONANThe staff that put together Everleigh’s vision on such short notice are definitely getting a bonus out of this. It's perfect. Every little detail is just how she described it.She just wasn't expecting it to be outdoors.When she hijacked Sean's earpiece and I heard the nervousness in her voice, I almost lost it myself. The way she said that she needed to talk to me almost had me in a panic attack. I've never had a panic attack before in my life. But then she slid her hand in mine and told me she loved me. It took everything I had to let her walk away. I almost went full on caveman and threw her over my shoulder and hightailed it back to the penthouse. Rannon bitched and moaned the whole way over here about having to escort Adrianna down the aisle to stand beside Everleigh. He claims that she gets on his nerves but I know better. I see the way he looks at her. And she's not shy about the looks she's been giving him. The little vulture.But that's not the thing that has me wo
29. She's My Queen
EVERLEIGH The atrium was decorated perfectly. The decorations mirrored the park's decorations right down to my exact favorite color of coral. Ronan led me through the crowd to his waiting family. Aoife and Rowan were first to welcome me to their family, followed by his father. Ronan was off to the side talking to Rogan when strong arms grabbed me from behind and spun me in a circle before putting me back down.The action startled me to the point that I let out an involuntary shriek. The thoughts running through my head before I realized it was Rhyon, had me in fight or flight mode.When he put me down, he planted a wet, sloppy kiss directly on my mouth. To say I was shocked is an understatement. But it took everything I had not to laugh when he was chastised by all of his brothers, his father and even his mother.But I finally lost it when Rowen started poking fun at him. When she kicked off her shoes and took off running with Rhyon chasing after her, my sides were splitting.Just
30. Never Been A Jealous Woman
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
