“You go to an all girls school! How is this even fucking possible?”
Carina rolls her eyes.
“Is it one of our men?” I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gilly act more serious than at this moment. And that’s saying a lot considering everything that went down recently. I can see him thinking over the possibilities. “No, I would’ve known. You’re not pregnant. It’s impossible.”
“Is not.” She’s fighting a smirk. Carina really does enjoy pushing Gilly’s buttons. You’d think he was her big brother with how freaking protective he is over her.
“Fine, then we’re getting married. The baby will be mine.”
“Woah,” I gasp. What the hell?
“Fuck you, Gilly!” Carina gets right up in his face. Well, as best as she can with him towering over her. “I will not marry for some bullshit. I’ll marry for love, and when I damn well please.”
“You’ll—”
“Hey!” I cut in. This is getting way out of control now. We just got this place cleaned back up. We don’t need another war exploding inside the house. “It’s for me.” I walk over and snatch the test out of Gilly’s hand.
“What’s going on in here?” I spin around at the sound of my husband's voice. He looms in the doorway.
“Nothing,” both Carina and I say at the same time. We really have been hanging out too much. Antonio isn’t letting her go back to school yet. There are still threats out there. Butcher really kicked a freaking hornet’s nest. At least my sister is away from the Frangiones and my father. I’ll take it.
“What’s behind your back, Angel?” Antonio prowls toward me.
“A bed? And just in case you were wondering, behind that is a wall.” I steal Carina's words, making her snort a laugh. Antonio only gives me a wicked smile that promises to get the information out of me one way or another. My nipples tighten in anticipation.
“Okay, you two take this out of my bedroom. I see what’s happening here.” Carina motions between her brother and me. “As for you, you can fuck all the way off,” she tells Gilly.
Antonio scoops me up into his arms, cradling me. I have no choice but to pull my arm out from behind my back to reveal the test. His eyes drop to it, but he doesn’t say anything. He only carries me out of the room and into ours, where he places me ever so gently onto the bed.
“So.” I lick my lips. He takes the test from my hand and tosses it onto the nightstand. “I, ah.” His mouth claims mine in a kiss before I can say another word. “Antonio.” I gasp his name between kisses. He’s tugging at my clothes. “Aren’t you going to say something?”
“You’re pregnant.”
“What?!” I put my hands on his chest.
He’s already managed to strip my clothes from me. “I know my wife’s body.” His hand caresses my hip, then slides up to cup my breast. “Your pussy tastes sweeter too.”
“Antonio!” I hiss.
“I love that you still blush for me even though I’ve licked every single inch of this body.” He really has at some point or another.
“Are you happy?”
“You know I wanted heirs. I’ve told you I wouldn’t take your ass until I got you knocked up.”
“Antonio!” I hiss again, making him chuckle. Damn I love that sound. I’d been so freaking scared I was going to lose him. But I should have known better. My husband is a warrior.
“Honestly, I didn’t think it would happen so quickly. I’m not sure I’m ready to share you, but fuck am I going to love seeing you round with our child. You give me things no one else can. You’re truly priceless, my wife, my queen, my everything.”
UNEXPECTED LOVE
UNEXPECTED LOVE
MINK
The Butcher. My nickname isn’t really a nickname. It’s a calling. An identity that I was born with, and one that’s as much a part of me as my heart or my liver. I’m violent, remorseless, and I delight in causing pain.
I’ve never made any apologies for my nature. Never felt the need to … until I saw Bianca. When I glimpsed her, something inside me shifted. Before I even knew what I was doing, I’d kidnapped her and stolen her away.
Once I have her, I realize I have no idea what to do with a young, innocent girl. And for the first time in my life, I don’t want to cause pain. I don’t want to hurt her. All I want to do is the one thing I have no idea how to do—I want to love her.

BUTCHER
“Do you think I can call my sister? She’ll worry.” Bianca sits on the bed, her big eyes following me as I pace in front of her.
“No.” I can’t do that. I … Fuck, I don’t even know what I’m doing!
Something inside me just snapped when I saw Bianca talking to her sister, Angelica, via Skype. It’s like I went into this fucked-up headspace and couldn’t get out. I left Antonio and Angelica’s house like a man possessed, and I didn’t stop until I got to the Larone compound. Then I broke in, took Bianca Larone, and stole her away.
