Page 26 of His Dark Desire

“Brianne,” I say, knowing that she’ll love it, it’s close to Briar's name.

She turns in my arms. "Perfect," she whispers, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Brianne Gabriella Raineri."

Fuck, that's perfect.

I hold her gaze, feeling a surge of love and pride for the woman in my arms, the mother of my children. Leaning in, I capture her lips, God, I fucking love this woman.

“I need you, honey,” she whimpers.

Fuck, my wife keeps me young, whenever she’s around, I’m always semi-aroused, all she has to do is make that breathy whisper and I’m rock fucking hard.

I scoop Hazel into my arms and carry her to our bedroom, we kiss the entire time, not breaking apart, I’ll never have enough of her. She’s even more beautiful than the first time I met her.

“Love you, baby,” I say thickly as I lie her on the bed.

She glances up at me, her eyes filled with so much trust and love. “I love you too honey.”

I don't know what I did in this lifetime to deserve Hazel and my children, but I sure as fuck did something right. My family means everything to me and even though I'm no longer the Boss, I'll do whatever the fuck it takes to protect them.
