“Ready, Koukla?”

But I don’t wait for an answer. I just pick her up and toss her over my shoulder.

“Angel!” she says and hits my back.

It’s cute.

“Knock it off, Baby Doll, or this ride is gonna be a lot messier than you want,” I say and spank her juicy ass.

She stills immediately and I smirk.

This is gonna be fun.

EPILOGUE FOUR-LUC

Married life is everything I never knew it could be.

Or maybe that’s just because I am married to the sexiest, most loving woman I know.

Chances are, it’s the latter.

I grin over my tumbler of Whiskey Neat and watch Maria as she turns the pages of the new Z. Wolff novel she’s reading.

She started a little book club with Giselle and Anna, and from what I understand, each month one of them picks a book for them to read and discuss over wine and chocolate.

The get-togethers have been hard since Giselle fled to her parents’ condo in Florida, but Angel recently corrected that.

Big fucker flew down there and brought her back here. Where she belongs—his words, not mine.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only idiot who took a while to get the girl of my dreams. But I got her now and I am never letting go.

My phone pings and I look down.

This is big news. We got him.

Sanchez Junior.

Maria is looking right at me when I lift my head.

“You have to go?”

“Yeah, Baby Girl. I have to go.”

She stands and walks over to me, winding her arms around my neck. She pulls me down for a kiss and I don’t even try to pretend I don’t want her to do it.

I always want her to touch me.

I have to admit, for a woman who remained virginal until I got my hands on her, Maria is the most exciting lover I have ever had. She is simply incomparable.

Far as I’m concerned, there were no other women before her. Any experiences I had were just lessons, so I could please her.

And I work very fucking hard to please her.

She deserves it. And she gives it back to me tenfold.

“Come back to me in one piece, Husband,” she says, and I nod.

“Always.”
