Chapter 13: At your own risk
Maleah
Declan and Santana’s engagement party was great. The men were very welcoming, and the women were excited by my news. To Jaxon and my surprise, the couples all celebrated our marriage with drinks and gifts.
I was glad to see that Jaxon and I fit in. I won’t pretend that I wasn’t worried about the men's relationship with Jaxon, but everyone seemed to accept it.
Before Jaxon and I headed back home, Priest pulled me to the side and told me he was happy for me. My throat tightened when he said that Hunter would be glad I found someone. I don’t know how long I stood in his arms. Priest being the sweetheart he is, held me in his arms without protest. Jaxon eventually took pity on him and extricated me from

Jaxon I hate leaving Maleah looking so sad, but there’s nothing I can do. This is who I am, and she will have to become accustomed to it. I’d love to tell her I’ll retire from the Confradia as I planned before. Unfortunately, I can’t. Logan and I are the only ones we trust to help maintain order between our people since there are too many doubts mounting within our ranks. Logan and I have noticed a lax in control between our leaders and have become distrustful of their motives. I guess a lot of it has to do with how the board handled the Kazik situation. There were too many questions and suspicions. The heads of the Confradia gave in too quickly to his demands, which created an irreparable rift between our Assassins and the authority. Logan and I were the only ones who sided with our men. Thankfully, we were able to preserve our professional working relationship

Maleah I am so stupid. How could I have let myself be caught off guard? If it hadn’t been for Jaxon, I’d be dead by now. Ace cuddles close to my chest and whines. Jaxon has been quiet since we left the club. I think he’s mad at me, and I don’t blame him. I should have been more careful. I hate to say it, but I’m glad that Victor is dead. He was like a dark cloud hanging over us, and now we don’t have to worry about him anymore. “Are you mad at me?” I ask Jaxon the moment we walk in the door. Jaxon takes Ace from my arms and sets him down on the floor before he lifts me into a fireman’s hold and carries me up the stairs. “Jaxon!” I cry out, surprised and outraged at the same time. Ace runs behind us with a happy yip

Epilogue Jaxon Leaning back in my office chair, I look up at the ceiling and smile contentedly. Maleah walks in a moment later and sits down on my lap. “Hey baby, was everything okay with Logan?” Placing my arms around her waist, I kiss her satiny shoulder and reply. “Yeah, he’s fine.” Maleah quirks a questioning brow. “Is something wrong?” I shake my head. “No, everything is fine. Are you packed?” Maleah nods. “Yeah, I’m ready to go. Sage passed by earlier and took Ace, so I’m ready for some fun in the sun.” She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively and leans close to my ear, and whispers. “I even packed my tiniest bikini.&rdq

Epilogue- Maleah The past seven days have been wonderful for Jaxon and me. The cruise has been relaxing and filled with sexy moments. Leaning back in my beach chair, I stretch my arms over my head and watch my husband surface from the crystal clear waters of Navagio beach in Greece. His golden hair and skin glisten beneath the bright light of the sun as droplets of water glide down his smooth body. The water in the beach laps against the sugary sand and the sounds of fishing boats off in the distance creates a relaxing atmosphere. Unaware of my attentive gaze, Jaxon picks up a towel from his beach chair and dries his toned chest and washboard abs. He looks so sexy in his low-rise swim trunks. After a moment, he looks up at me and takes a seat at the end of my chair. He caresses his long fingers across my legs and kisses my knee with a smile. “How
The Assassin's Redemption V Chapter 1: Is this the end or the beginning?
Maleah Rushing out of the hotel’s party room, I stride purposely through the sand and make my way to a private corner of the beach. My cousin Sasha is having a beautiful baby boy, and my mom, my sister-in-law, and I flew down to Miami to celebrate her baby shower. Unfortunately, her happy day is also the day I have to deal with my family's questions. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I've had to hear a family member ask me when I’m going to get married and start a family of my own. Reaching into my pocket, I pull out my phone and call one of my BFFs, Sophia. I’d call Sage, but she and her husband, Priest, are currently out of the country on business. Sophia’s soothing voice instantly reaches my ears. “Hey, Mal, shouldn’t you be oohing and aahing over baby cloth
The Assassin's Redemption V Chapter 2: Bittersweet Regrets
Jaxon I never expected to see her again, especially in such dire circumstances. Striding up the stairs, I lead Maleah to my bedroom and open the door. She looks so beautiful and sad that I have to tuck my hands into my pockets to keep from touching her. The woman has always been a temptation, and it’s even more blatant when she’s dressed like every man’s wet dream. I can’t take my eyes off her long legs, cut-off jeans, and a flimsy top that outlines her firm breasts. I watch intently as she sets down her bag on the bed and sits at the edge. I might as well not exist by the way she’s ignoring my presence. Entranced, I watch as she slides her fingers through her lush hair. Her eyes are at half-mast as she checks the bandage on her knee.&
The Assassin's Redemption V Chapter 3: Broken things
Maleah I love sexual dreams. Even if they’re not real, they feel so good. I love dreaming about being in a man’s arms. Sometimes I never want to wake up. Moving closer, I keep my eyes closed and caress my hand up the hard ridges of a sculpted male stomach, then I stop. This is not a dream. And I’m pretty sure this is not Hunter. Frowning with confusion, I make another sweep across the velvety skin and bite my bottom lip, realizing that I’m not in Hunter’s arms. Hunter was wiry and fit, but he wasn’t this muscular. The body beneath my fingers feels familiar, though. Coming fully awake, I blink my eyes and glance up, catching a glimpse of beautiful velvety muscles. It&rsq

Jaxon Once the bathroom door closes behind Maleah, I lean my head against the wall and close my eyes. Fuck! I should have told her the truth. It was the right moment, and I couldn’t do it. All I could do was stand there frozen like a statue. Why does the thought of telling her what happened to me make my body break out in a cold sweat? It makes no sense. After a minute, I open my eyes, take a couple of steadying breaths, and run my fingers through my hair. This is not the time to fall apart. Once I’ve gotten my bearings, I make my way into the guest bedroom, take a quick shower, and slide into a charcoal suit. Thankfully, I keep clothes in all of my closets. You never know when you’ll need to
