“It looks like Santa came,” I say, announcing my presence.

Nash’s eyes move up and down my body several times before settling on my face, “Merry Christmas beautiful wife.”

I giggle, “Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Kissmas,” both of the twins echo us.

There was concern from the doctors that there may be developmental delays with one or both of them, but we’ve been lucky. So far both of our girls are happy and healthy.

I sit on the floor in front of the tree and all three of them come sit with me so we can open presents. We let the kids open theirs first, but I swear they are more interested in playing with the boxes than they are with the toys inside.

Nash hands me a box, “Open it, Princess.”

I grin at him and open it slowly, not wanting to destroy the beautiful red and gold wrapping paper. It’s a jewelry box, so I pop it open. It’s a stunning platinum bracelet with charms, a paint pallet, two little girls with the girls' birthstones, and a book with ‘One lifetime is not enough’ on it. Nash pulls me onto his lap while our daughters play with the wrapping paper.

“I love you, Princess. Always. One lifetime is not enough. If I get my wish, I’ll have another million lifetimes with you.”

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I breathe into his neck, “I hope you get your wish because it’s mine too.”

He kisses me softly, but we’re interrupted by two toddlers jumping on us like we’re a trampoline. They knock us both to the floor. We laugh loud, and I realize this is the soundtrack I want for my life. Laughter. Happiness.

Both Nash and I have been through our own personal hell. I’d go through it all over again to be where I am right now. I know people thought it was gross that we were together. Adopted siblings should not fuck. They certainly have no business getting married. I disagree. This world is not kind. You should find love where you can find it. I just happened to find mine in the arms of my adopted brother.

The End!

DeLuca: The Devil

Book One: The Men of Mayhem Series

Gia Baratta

My death was ordered by my father. It’s not in the way you think. He didn’t order a hit on me but forcing me to go after his mortal enemy is a death sentence.

Domenic DeLuca, or the Devil as I know him, is not a man you toy with. I’m well aware when I walk into his lair, I’ll never get out alive. When he develops a fondness for my body it will keep me alive for a little while. The end result will still be the same. Sex. Torture. Eventual death. No one escapes his clutches. Can I make him fall for me and set me free? Or will the most dangerous thing happen to me? Will I fall in love with the devil himself?

Domenic DeLuca

When Antonio Baratta sends his daughter to distract me from business so he can steal my territory, I’m delighted. I have men under me, it will never happen. They don’t call me Lord of Drug Lords for nothing. The rumors are that I am Lucifer himself. When I finish with Gia Baratta, she will be wishing I was the devil. He’d go easier on her than I will. There’s no doubt, I will end her life. Just not before I have my fill of that sweet little body made for sin.
