Page 97 of His Wild Seduction

He’d only nodded. He did not break down, cry, or puke on the floor like one of his team had.

Fucking weak link.

I had no use for weakness in my firm and definitely not on my wife’s personal security team.

Mario fired him before I could. He’d been furious at the security breach last night, and I knew he was riding his team hard for the fuck up.

He’d already sent men to pick up the neighbor Destiny had invited to her party.

The one who’d sold his invitation.

That guy had one lousy night, I guaranteed it.

As for me, well, I had my wife back in our penthouse. Safe and sound. Exhausted from me keeping her up all night.

Perfect.

Everything was as it should be.

My life didn’t feel so dark anymore.

I wasn’t alone in the shadows, just a Big Bad Wolf hunting for something to fill the emptiness inside of me. Not now.

Now, I had what I’d been searching for the whole time. I had what I once lost.

I had her.

Meredith brought the sun with her.

She brought the color back. And she sated my hunger like no one else ever had.

“Good morning, Little Red,” I replied.

“Is that for me?” she asked, nodding at the tray.

“It’s for us, yeah. I thought we could share some breakfast in bed to start our day.”

“I’d like that. Um, bathroom first. Close your eyes,” she said, giggling as she hustled her naked ass out of bed.

“Not a chance, Wife. That’s mine to look at and enjoy,” I said, openly staring at every soft pale curve on her.

She giggled. And the sound sent joy singing through my soul.

Christ.

She was perfect. Meredith was like joy personified when she was happy.

Her brightness touched every part of my soul. Sometimes it felt so bright I had to squint, but I would never look away.

Fuck.

That she gave me even one second of her inner joy made me ache. I knew I didn’t deserve it.

I wasn’t like her.

I wasn’t sunshine.

I wasn’t good.
