Page 132 of His Wild Seduction

I turned away from where Andres was trying to speak to Ellie, focusing instead on the children. And I snuggled my wife closer.

“Do you want children?” I asked the question.

She was quiet for so long, I didn’t think she heard me. Then she turned her head, and I saw her eyes well with tears.

“What is it?”

“I was trying to figure out a way to ask you that question,” she confessed.

“I want whatever you want, Little Red. Whatever you need. Whatever you say. I’m yours, Baby.”

Her smile was like the sun coming out all over again, and I almost forgot to breathe when faced with her beauty.

“Well? You gonna leave me hanging or what, Wife?”

“Yes. My answer is yes. I want it all. A house. A child. And you. Most of all, you. I want it all with you, Josef.”

“You give me so much. And I’m gonna give you anything you want,” I replied, and pressed my forehead to hers.

I was so overcome with emotion it was all I could do not to break down. I just held on to my beautiful wife and let her love and color seep into my soul, anchoring me.

She was too good for me.

But she was mine now.

And that position was permanent.

EPILOGUE TWO

ELLIE

Stupid, bossy, know it all, dumb man!

Ugh.

I was so pathetic, I couldn’t even curse him out in my own head!

But who did he think he was?

Andres Ramirez. Recently made partner in Volkov Industries. Certifiable genius, according to Meredith, who happened to impart the information after she saw his IQ test results.

So what if he was single? And sexy. And nice to small children.

Oh my God! Stop that!

I tried not to listen when Mer, Sof, and Des chatted about their men and Andres since he was part of their inner circle.

I had my own problems.

One very big, very scary problem to be precise.

My now ex-husband—the divorce papers came through while I was at the shelter, thank God—was demanding alimony from me and visitation with Sammy.

My sweet four year old son.

I was so mad I could spit. But I would give him money if it meant keeping him away from Sammy. But he wouldn’t back down.

All Gary Peters ever wanted was Maxwell Mining.
