Lia’s POV

He settled back against the chair and I watched the relief hit him, whether he wanted it to or not. His head tipped back. His good hand went loose on the armrest. All that tension he’d been holding just to stay upright let go at once, and that told me more about how bad it was than anything he’d said out loud.

I crouched down in front of him so we were level.

He reached out and took my hand and brought it to his mouth and pressed his lips to my knuckles. Held them there a second longe

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   Chapter 258

    Lia’s POVAnd I thought about what happened in this room. The way his whole body had jerked. The way his eyes had flown open. That grip on my hand that shouldn’t have been possible.My sons. My sons. Something’s wrong. I can feel it.I had felt it too. Right at that same second. Both of us at once.He knew.Somehow, from all the way down wherever he was, he knew.He felt his son dying.I looked at his hand in mine and my eyes went blurry and I let them.“I don’t know how to tell you,” I whispered.Because that was the thing sitting on my chest now, heavier than everything else. Someone was going to have to tell him. When he woke up — and he was going to wake up, he had to wake up — someone was going to have to sit in this beautiful quiet room and say the words out loud.Rob is dead.Your youngest son is dead.He shot you, and then he took your grandson, and then he died in the woods, and none of it can be undone.Maybe it would be Dante. Maybe it should be Dante.But Dante was upstair

All that tension he’d been holding just to stay upright let go at once, and that told me more about how bad it was than anything he’d said out loud.I crouched down in front of him so we were level.He reached out and took my hand and brought it to his mouth and pressed his lips to my knuckles. Held them there a second longer than he needed to.“I love you,” he said.“I love you too.” I put my free hand on the side of his face. His skin was still too cool. “So come back and tell me again.”“I will.”Then he turned his head and looked at his son.“Matteo.”“I have to go with the doctors for a little while so they can fix my shoulder,” Dante said. “But I’m coming back. Soon. Okay?”Matteo’s chin wobbled. “Promise?”“I promise. I have never broken a promise to you, have I?”“No.”“And I’m not starting today.” Dante’s

    Lia’s POVI hugged Dante again.That was all I could think to do. He had just shaken his head — one small movement, that was all, no words at all — and I understood everything from it. Rob was dead. Rob was gone. The man who had shot his father and then kidnapped his nephew, but he was also Dante’s little brother, and both of those things were true at the same time.So I put my arms around him and held on and didn’t say anything, because there was nothing to say that wouldn’t have been stupid.He was warm. He smelled like blood and gunpowder and wet earth. I could feel him breathing — slow, careful breaths, the kind you take when breathing hurts. Under my hands his back was solid and tense, every muscle held tight like he was still bracing for something that had already happened.He didn’t cry.I think that was the part that hurt me most.I felt so sad for him.I hated Rob. God, I hated him — for what he did to me, for what he did to Victor, for what he did to that little boy today. P

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   Chapter 255

    Dante's POVIt took Callum and both medics to get me up. When I stood, the world tilted sideways for about two seconds and then straightened out.I kept Matteo on my hip the entire way out of those woods. My right arm under him, his legs around my waist, his face buried in my neck. Every step jolted my shoulder. I didn't care. Callum walked beside me with one hand hovering near my back the whole time, ready.The walk out felt three times longer than the walk in.We passed the police tape they'd already strung between two trees. Past officers standing in small groups. Past a man in a windbreaker photographing footprints in the mud.I did not look toward the middle of the clearing when we passed it.Neither did Matteo. I made sure of that with my hand on the back of his head.The ambulance was parked in the motel lot with its back doors already open, lights turning silently.They wanted to put me on the stretcher. I sat on it. That was as far as I'd go."He rides with me," I said."Sir,

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   Chapter 254

    Dante's POVRob's eyes were open.That was the thing that got me. They were wide open and pointed up at the gap in the canopy where the afternoon light was still coming down, and they weren't looking at anything. There was nothing behind them. The wildness that had been in them thirty seconds ago — the panic, the rage, the whole spiraling mess of it — was just gone. Wiped clean. His face looked younger without it. Slack and young and almost peaceful, which was the most obscene part of all.His mouth was slightly open.Somewhere off to the left, one of the officers was talking into a radio, giving a location, requesting a coroner.I stood there and looked at my brother lying dead in the leaves.My little brother.He was eight when he broke his arm falling out of the tree behind the villa and I carried him all the way back to the house on my back while he cried into my shoulder. He was eleven when he got in a fight at school over something stupid and I lied to our father about who start

    Dante's POVCallum reached me before my knees could finish giving out.I felt his hand close hard around my good arm and then his shoulder come under mine, taking my weight. He was solid. He didn't say anything at first, just held me up while my legs decided whether they were going to keep working."I've got you," he said. Low. Right next to my ear. "Stay on your feet. I've got you."My shoulder was burning.That's the only word for it. Burning — a deep, spreading heat that went from somewhere below my collarbone down through the whole arm and around into my back. It pulsed with every heartbeat, and my heart was going so fast that it felt like one long continuous wave of it, no gaps. My fingers had gone strange. Tingling and thick, like they belonged to somebody else. I could feel warm wetness soaking down the inside of my shirt.I ignored all of it.I pulled Matteo back from my chest, just far enough to see him."Let me look at you," I said. My voice came out wrong, ragged and breath

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   CHAPTER 2

    Lia’s POVHis words hit me hard. Like cold water thrown in my face. Like being slapped.I froze. My whole body went stiff. Those words kept repeating in my head. Like a little slut. Like a little slut. Like a little slut.The warm feelings I'd had—the wanting, the desire—all disappeared in a second

    Lia's POVThe dream always started the same way.A man came into my bedroom. The door opened slowly with a creak. I heard his footsteps on the wooden floor. Heavy steps that made the floor groan. I never saw his face—it was always hidden in shadow, like the darkness covered him on purpose. But I co

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   CHAPTER 4

    Lia’s POVThe words hit me like a physical blow. Like he'd reached across the space between us and punched me in the stomach.Better than I ever did.I thought about all the times I'd tried to please him. All the times I'd gotten on my knees for him, wanting to make him feel good, wanting him to wa

  • DIRTY DESIRES: DADDIES TASTE BETTER   CHAPTER 3

    Lia’s POVA real smile, not the annoyed half-smile he usually gave me. His eyes lit up as he looked at her, traveling down her body slowly, taking his time."I don't need anything for now," he said, and his voice was different. Warmer. Friendlier. Flirty, even."Okay, sir," she purred, holding his
