Page 52 of Surprise Quadruplets for the Mob

“That’s right,” he groans, his grip on my hips tightening as he continues to fuck me.

The tension inside me is coiling tighter and tighter, and as his hand slides up my spine, his fingers tangling in my hair and pulling me back, the pain and pleasure mix and I fall over the edge once again, screaming his name as another wave of ecstasy consumes me.

He lets out a low growl, and with one final thrust, I feel him pulse inside me, his warmth spilling and spreading inside me as he reaches his own climax.

I’m still trembling with the aftershocks of my orgasm when he pulls out, and I collapse onto the bed, utterly spent.

“Fuck,” he groans, his breathing heavy.

“That was amazing,” I sigh, rolling onto my side and gazing up at him.

“You’re amazing.” He brushes a strand of hair away from my face. “I can’t get enough of you, Abby. You’re all I want. You and the kids. I want you to stay with me.”

“I want that, too,” I whisper, and as he climbs into bed next to me and pulls me into his arms, I realize that for the first time in a long time, I feel happy.

There’s still so much danger lurking out there, but I know Maks will keep me and the kids safe in this house. As safe as any place can be, at least.

“I’ve thought about what you said before,” I continue. “About how this is your life and it’s who you are.”

“And?” he asks, his fingers brushing through my hair.

“And it’s not the life I’ve always wanted. But the thought of living without you? That scares me even more than all the other stuff. I love you, Maks. And even though I know it’s scary and complicated, I want to be with you.”

“I love you, too, Abby. I’m going to make this work. No matter what.”

We’re quiet for a while, enjoying the closeness. Eventually, the silence is broken by the faint sound of a baby crying.

“Guess we’re not quite done with the babies yet.” I laugh, reluctantly getting out of bed and slipping into a robe.

“Never.” Maks grins. “They’re a package deal, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Me either,” I agree, kissing him before heading down the hall.

My heart is full, and for the first time in a long time, I’m feeling hopeful. The future might not be easy, but with Maks and the kids, it feels possible.

More than possible, it feels right.

“A package deal,” I murmur, smiling to myself.

Chapter 24

Maksim

Ican’t remember a time when I’ve smiled this much. Maybe after my very first night with Abby? After I learned about the quadruplets? That was probably the best day of my life, but today is definitely coming in a close second.

Even as I flip through paperwork at my desk, I can’t help but think about Abby’s beautiful face as she moves around upstairs with the kids.

The babies are getting bigger and stronger every day. Abby is such a wonderful mother. I’ve been helping her take care of them as much as I can, but there’s nothing like the bond she has with our children. It’s a sight to behold.

I can’t wait until they start to crawl. And walk. And talk. It’s going to be crazy around here with these little troublemakers learning to communicate. They’re already so damn smart.

It’s not long before I’m interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching, and a moment later, there’s a knock at the door.

“Come in,” I call, and Alyosha is already stepping inside, his expression unreadable.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, sensing the tension in his posture.

“We have a problem.” He pauses, then adds, “Several problems, actually.”
