“Aye, ya know I’m not after yer money, love.”

“I don’t know. I am pretty close to crossing the billionaire mark. Maybe I’ll set you up and get that half so I can dance my way on over,” I tease.

“And give this up?” he says before crushing his lips to mine.

He glides his hands down my bare back and squeezes my ass in his palms when they cover my backside. I reach for his suit jacket and push it from his shoulders to the floor.

I lift onto my toes to get closer to him. He groans and deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around me again. This time, he holds me tighter.

I forget all my rambling thoughts as I get lost in my husband’s kiss. If this fortuneteller is the reason my uncle knew we would find each other, this has to be meant to be. I can let go just a little and allow this man in.

Right?

He breaks the kiss and places his forehead to mine. We breathe each other in. The connection between us feels deeper than it ever has.

“I don’t know. When you put it like that, you have a point. Come on, husband. I think it’s time we consummate our marriage.”

We move to the bedroom and end the night on the sweetest note ever. I can’t find a single reason why I shouldn’t have done this. The way he holds me and touches me shows the love he has for me.

Every time he rocks into my body and tightens his hold on my hands while kissing me, I’m reminded that he has always known what he wanted. He wants and loves me. When I feel him come inside me with no barrier for the first time, I nearly burst into tears.

I finally have someone I can trust again. I feel it in my bones that this is my person. I’ve found what I’ve been searching for.

“I love ya,” he groans into my ear.

His orgasm triggers mine, causing bliss to tear through my body. I wrap my legs tightly around his waist and close my eyes. As he kisses my shoulder and moves up my neck, I allow the truth of it all to sink in.

“I love you too.”

“Ya and I will never be alone again. I’ll always have yer back, Danika. Always,” he says fiercely.

In my heart, I believe him. It’s not a need to believe him, it’s an instinct. My husband is someone I can trust.

CHAPTER33

Cold Sheets

Ronan

“Come on,ya have to be fucking kidding me,” I grunt and reach for my phone that won’t stop ringing.

I reach to cut it off. I’m not answering any calls today. I want to spend the day in bed with my wife. Thinking of Danika, I roll over to get my morning shag.

However, I’m met with cold sheets as I reach for my wife. I sit up as the room suddenly feels still and empty. I know right away she’s gone.

I roll my eyes and growl. I can’t believe she’s done this again. She’s my wife now, what the fuck is she thinking? I throw the covers off my naked body and that’s when I notice the piece of paper that floats from the bed.

I stand and round the bed to pick it up. Rubbing my forehead while I read, I try to calm my temper. At least she’s left an explanation this time.

I’m so sorry, babe. I have to head back. Something has come up and I need to handle it ASAP. I promise to make it up to you. Please take care of my mom. It wasn’t safe to take her with me. I don’t know what I’m walking into.

Love,

D. McGowan

I smile slightlyat the signature on the note. However, that’s short-lived as I think of the danger she could be in. I move quickly to throw on a pair of pants and grab my phone.

“Hello,” Tadhg says on the other end.
