GiaKian was on the phone to someone as I finished getting ready. The glass door was closed; it muffled the sound of his voice, making it difficult to hear what he was saying. I could tell by the relaxed look on his face that it wasn’t the Reaper. His eyes flashed in my direction, and he did a double take as he saw what I was wearing. The leather jeans, red cross-over top, and spikey heels did wonders for my petite figure. Kian’s manager wanted me to look every inch the biker chick to complement my husband’s image. I noticed the price tags, and my eyes popped out on stalks. Now that I was ready, I wanted to flaunt my new look and see if Kian approved. I caught his attention with a sultry wave, then made his jaw drop with a sexy dance. Kian mouthed something at me through the glass panel, then pointed to his dick and made a lewd gesture. His grin vanished in a flash as he resumed the conversation on the phone. He turned around so I couldn’t lipread him. Whatever he was talking about, i

Gia“It’s the prettiest grave in the cemetery,” I mentioned, not knowing what else to say. “Did you plant all these flowers? It looks beautiful.”“Nah, her granddaughters, Elora and Camari, did it,” he replied, speaking fondly of the girls. “I just gave them some cash, and they designed it themselves. You’ll meet them soon. They are eighteen and twenty now. Time flies . . .” His voice trailed off, the sound fading as the words died on his lips.Then Kian exhaled a wistful breath. “You’ll meet them soon enough. They come to all my fights with their dad, Charlie. I know they’ll be dying to meet you.”“Is it weird that I’m nervous?” I chuckled. “I want them to like me.”Kian bounced his gaze to me and rolled his eyes. “What’s not to love about you?” he muttered under his breath. He removed some withered flowers from a water urn and set the moldy stems to one side. “Now, take this vase to the tap over there and fill it with water,” he instructed, pointing to where he meant.I set down the

KianGia and I made it to the restaurant, but I could see she left a part of herself behind with Kellen. She was sitting in a dream-like state, bouncing her leg beneath the table, looking at nothing at all. She told me to choose something for her, and that wasn’t like my Gia. Her head was someplace else, worrying about what her father told her. I ordered some steaks, potatoes, and steamed vegetables. It was the only thing on the menu that I could pronounce without sounding like a remedial. Gia liked steak. We ate it plenty of times at home. She liked to wash it down with half a bottle of wine. So, I ordered some wine too. See? I did take notice of the little things.“I still can’t believe you bumped into your dad today. How about that?” I brought it up to break the silence.“Did you know that he would be there?” she asked, not accusingly, but with a curious look in her eyes.Shit! She thought I orchestrated that.“No,” I replied, taken aback that she thought I would spring something s

KianI stopped cutting my steak and paused, looking long and hard at her. “You’re a bright ray of sunshine today, aren’t you? We should be celebrating instead of stressing over things that might never happen. We’re mated, we bought a house, and you found your daddy,” I pointed out. “Look at it this way . . . at least you don’t have to search for him in Whitevale and activate the werewolf gene.” I arched my brow and shoved a cut piece of steak in my mouth.Gia twisted her lips as she pondered that thought. “True . . . I guess there is that I suppose. But I can’t stop thinking about my mom. I’m worried for her, Kian. What if her father found out about me and did something awful to her? She gave me away to protect me. That tells me that she wanted me. If it wasn’t for him, she would be with my father right now. I would have been raised by parents who loved me. My life would have been so different.” She exhaled mournfully.“But look how well you turned out despite all that shit,” I remind

Gia“Breathe, honey,” Kian consoled me, rubbing small circles on my back.Never mind being killed by hunters. The inscription on my headstone would read “Choked to death on a sour cherry gin sling.” It burned my throat like a motherfucker.“What’s wrong?” Cyrus asked, sounding alarmed. “Did she swallow one of those damned cherry stones?” he whirled around and glared at the bartender. “It’s supposed to be a cocktail, not a fruit fucking salad!” he roared. “Pit the fucking stones before I pit out your fucking heart.” He turned to me, his face flooded with concern. “Are you all right, shug?”I swatted the air dismissively. “It’s okay . . . it’s fine . . . I’m all right. It just went down the wrong way.”Kian handed me a napkin to wipe my eyes and the cocktail juice from my chin. Cyrus’s frown remained in place. I was trembling from head to toe, scared shitless that hunters wanted to kill me. Clearly, I was a long way from being fine.“This isn’t a conversation I want to be having around

KianAfter a much-needed vacation, Gia and I returned to Forest Hills to pick up the keys to our love nest. It wasn’t spectacular to look at. Sure, we owned plenty of land, but the barn was a dilapidated wreck. We had to see past all the shit and debris and visualize how we wanted it to look. Gia had her own ideas, and they conflicted with mine. She wanted whitewashed walls, floaty, see-through drapes, polished floors, and decorative crap that served no purpose other than to look pretty. She made a fucking mood board and showed every female at the Clubhouse, recruiting an army of minions to peck my head and drive me insane. I spent every morning, noon, and night at the barn alongside my brothers, working hard on putting the damn thing together. We worked tirelessly for weeks. And when we were done, Gia presented me with a small velvet box containing her contraceptive implant.“It’s out,” she announced as I eyed it with scrutiny, wondering what the fuck it was. “Dr. Rayne thinks my shi

KianHer big blue eyes brimmed with hope, and she caught her bottom lip between her teeth as she grinned.“Good . . . let’s make some magic then,” I replied, wasting no time in undressing her.Ah, fuck. She’s wearing black lingerie. Black lace and heels.“The bra and panties are coming off, but you’re keeping on the shoes,” I asserted, unwrapping her like a birthday gift.She threaded her fingers through my hair, trying to hold me still as she sucked on my bottom lip like the sexy vixen she was. I toed off my boots, and she helped to tug off my shirt, then I shimmied out of my jeans, taking my boxers down with me as we kissed.A dark chuckle pushed from my lips as she writhed beneath me, pressing herself against my iron-hard cock."Please, Kian. Don't you understand that you're killing me here? I need you," she moaned, undulating her hips."What do you need, baby girl?" I began skimming my lips around the areola of one puckered nipple.She opened her mouth to order me to touch her, to

GiaA month had passed since we moved into our new home. My dad came to visit us every Sunday, and he was a regular face at the Clubhouse cookout. He still didn’t feel like he could face his brother after going AWOL for so long, but with our support and plenty of encouragement, we helped to restore his shattered confidence. At least we had convinced him to stop blaming himself for everything that happened. Dad helped me to choose some plants for our garden, and he and Kian laid down some fresh turf, making everything look pretty. It made me so happy to see them getting along. It truly felt as if I had the family I always wanted.“Gia,” Kian called out across the garden.He was all sweaty from working so hard, and his clothes were smeared with dirt. Dad was standing alongside him, holding up an apple tree sapling they intended to plant. I emerged through the bi-folding glass doors carrying two bottles of ice-cold beer from the fridge. My guys had been hard at work all afternoon, and th
