He cupped the back of her head, taking the kiss he wanted.
“I don’t suppose you want a Vegas wedding?” he asked.
She shook her head. “Not a chance. I don’t want anything big though. Just something small. For us and your friends.”
“They’re your friends too.”
She rested her head on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair, and she traced a finger across his leg. “You’re going to kill him, aren’t you?”
“I’m not going to tell you what I do down there.” He’d protect her from this world.
She looked up at him. “What are you going to do with Rose?”
“Again, she’s not going to hurt you. I’ll make sure of it.”
“You do love me?”
“With all my heart and soul.” He placed her hand over his chest. “You feel this. You make me feel alive. I thought I was dead inside. Going through the motions and then I met you and I couldn’t look away. Even if I didn’t take you that night, Meghan, I knew I was going to have you. You belonged to me.” He tucked some hair behind her ear. “And I promise you now, I will take care of you and our baby, for the rest of our lives. I will love you, take care of you, and fuck you.”
She chuckled. “It was romantic ’til that last part.”
“I know you, Meghan. I know what you crave, and I’ll give you it all. Everything your heart desires, all you have to do is say the word.”
“I love you, Damon.” She rested her head against his chest. “Just hold me. Please.”
“Always.”

A couple of days later
Meghan’s face was finally starting to heal, but the bruises were still very much there. Each time Damon stared at her face, he was reminded of what her sister had done. It hadn’t taken much to get the truth out of the man. Rose hadn’t even paid him for the pleasure of hurting her sister. She’d given him full use of her body for one night, and in return, he’d go and hurt her sister. Maybe even break the other leg.
Damon was sickened by her cruelty. Not only that, they had discovered that to find out where Meghan was, Rose’s goon had gone to Alex. Much to his disgust and Meghan’s pain, Alex had been beaten to a bloody pulp. He’d not made it, and Meghan had blamed herself. He wouldn’t let her do that. Meghan had nothing to do with Alex’s death. Her sister did, and he’d be the one to make her pay.
He wanted nothing to do with a woman that was so fucking spiteful she’d do anything to stop her sister’s happiness and kill an innocent young kid. That was all Alex had been, an innocent young kid.
Damon wouldn’t allow her to even touch her sister again.
Entering the warehouse where he’d gotten Rex and Dan to chain her up, he turned on the light, and there Rose stood.
“You piece of fucking shit,” Rose said, glaring at him. “What is the meaning of this? I’m a hard worker. I suck cock for ten bucks now and still earn more.”
Rex and Dan were behind him.
Taking a chair, he dragged it across the floor and took a seat. She tried to fight against the chains.
“You sent a man to hurt my woman.”
“How is my baby sister, huh? Still fucking living? Still got everything her heart desires?”
“You hate her so much.”
“Please, she’s nothing to me.”
“Yet, she’s organizing our wedding,” Damon said. He pulled out his cell phone and held it up. It was a picture of Meghan laughing. He’d taken it as they were looking through wedding magazines. Neither of them had a clue what they were doing.
He saw the jealousy in her eyes.
“She’s also pregnant with my child.” Damon smiled. “You know, I’d seen your sister entering and leaving your building several times. I figured I’d find out who she was after I dealt with you. That night I walked into your apartment, I had no idea she was your sister.” He had seen Meghan coming and going. She’d always looked like the weight of the world was on her shoulders. He’d not approached her because he had to deal with business first. If only he’d known the business was going to lead to amazing pleasure, he’d have gone to Rose long before he did. “Don’t you worry about your sister though. She is going to live like a queen.”
“You better make sure she’s guarded.” Rose smiled. “You never know what accidents pregnant bitches can have.”
He stared at her.
“You see, Rose, you’re under the impression I’m a good man. I am a good man. To your sister. To men and women that deserve my … kindness. My mercy.”
The smile fell from Rose’s lips. “You won’t punish me. My sister won’t let you.”
“I don’t see her here, do you? I don’t see Meghan anywhere. She’s pregnant, guarding my child, and she knows you sent that man to hurt her and you made sure Alex was killed. She could have lost the baby, and she did lose Alex. She knows I’m going to deal with you. Take care of the problem. She knows not to ask me how I’m going to deal with you. I doubt she even cares, knowing you’re the one responsible for Alex’s death.”
