I hear a male groan and know that Jace is coming. I open my eyes to see his come in shiny, pearl ropes dripping down his hand. I can see it on his face that he wants me, and I smile because that feels good, but I know there’s only one man for me. Pain radiates from my breast and my gaze immediately goes back to my wild Viking of a husband who just captured my nipple and bit down on it.
“I love you!” I practically scream, my pussy spasming around his cock. My climax thunders through me as that sharp bite of pain sends me over the edge. Antonio roars as he comes, his fingers biting into my ass cheeks, rocking into me as my pussy milks his cock. I can feel each hot stream painting my insides, as I gasp for breath.
I might have blacked out for a minute. I’m not sure. I just know that my head is buried in my man’s chest and my breathing is still ragged. Antonio pets my hair, placing soft kisses on my forehead.
"You are my world, Lina. My motherfucking world.”
I open my eyes, seeing the truth in his words, before I pull him in for a kiss—my heart full of joy.

"Have the police and the incident at the club been handled?" I ask Niko, holding my phone next to my ear, my gaze trained on Melina lying on the bed.
“Yeah,” he replies. “It's incredible what greasing palms will do.”
I laugh bitterly. "It's been that way since the dawn of time."
"How's Melina?" Niko asks.
I smile down at my sleeping wife. My chest constricts as emotion chokes me. I love her and through this, I realized that goes bone deep. It has altered me so much that I now rely on her to keep me grounded. If something ever happened to her, I wouldn't be able to go on living. She's the air I breathe at this point. She owns me, body and soul.
Melina is magnificent. “She's sleeping, after the nightmare she's been through, she needs it. Victorio paid some local men to deliver our present to Dracos,” I murmur, wishing I could see the son of a bitch’s face when he opens the boxes to find his dead sons… in pieces. Perhaps if he’s good at puzzles he might be able to put them together enough to bury them. Of course, that’s a moot point since he will be dead too.
Niko laughs, although there's no humor to it. "I bet that will go over well."
"It couldn't happen to a nicer man," I say dryly. I look at the clock. "They'll be delivering them around eleven, which is when Marco says the asshole usually has breakfast."
"Is that when you're going in for the attack?"
"Yes and no. Most of us will already be in there at that time. Marco will lead a crew through some tunnels, rescuing two of his brothers that the bastard has imprisoned down there in a fucking hole Melina says is a dungeon."
"Damn. Maybe I'm lucky I didn't have a father."
"Whatever that man is, he’s no father," I assure him as he grunts.
"Get this shit wrapped up and get back home. I might be your second in command but being the only one here sucks."
I laugh and hang up, watching Melina. She reminds me of a kitten stretching from a nap in the hot sun—except my little kitten is sexy as fuck and makes my cock ache.
"Mmm," she moans. "I love hearing you laugh."
I stand up, still completely naked. I crawl into bed with her, pulling her into me. "It's not something I did much of before you came into my life, Lina. You changed everything." I pause, not used to letting my guard down. Still, she needs to hear this as much as I need to say it. I want her to know how important she is to me. "I thought after my father died that I was immune to emotion in general. Your love brought me back to life."
"That's a coincidence because you gave me life. I felt dead inside before seeing you standing in the hallway of my father's home. I was afraid of my own shadow. You changed everything," she says.
"You saw me?" I ask in surprise.
"Yeah. You stormed out of my father’s conference room, and I had to sneak a look at the man who dared to stand up to the monster."
"You hid in your father's office," I murmur, thinking out loud. “I remember that moment clearly. "I could tell someone was watching me.”
"Yeah, and at dinner, when I discovered where you were, I needed one more look." She shrugs. "That turned out a little different than I imagined. I thought I'd just look at you and dream one last time. I didn't expect you to approach me."
