My heart stops, pulses, then pounds against my ribs.
“I knew you were something special the minute I saw you at the garage,” he murmurs against my neck. “You’re smart, brave, hot as fuck. You call me out on my shit and make me want to be a better man. You’re everything, babe. My everything. I’m never letting you go.”
“Promise?” I whisper, throat tight and tears blurring my vision.
Pulling back slightly, he nods. “Promise.” Then he claims my mouth, proving home is in his arms.
“Good, because I’m not letting you go either.”
“Fuck, yeah.” Our kiss deepens.
This is how it’s meant to be, our lips brushing, our bodies pressed together, and hearts beating in tandem.
I never knew loving someone could be so easy yet fraught with such danger. For years I thought relationships were toxic, poisonous traps that only served to corrupt the weak. But I was wrong. True love is the opposite. It inspires, heals, and encourages people to be the best version of themselves. With Sin, I am that person. And he, in turn, is too.
It won’t always be easy. We’ll fight, hurt, and possibly question what we’re feeling when life gets too real. But the second we touch, our insecurities will fade, because there’s no fabricating the truth.
He’s mine.
I’m his.
And there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Epilogue
Sin
Temple’s head rests on my chest, her arm wrapped around my torso and leg hitched over my waist. She’s snoring. It’s soft, but I’m going to tease the fuck out of her in the morning. With any luck, she’ll fire up and throw shade my way. Then, I’ll punish her sweet ass until she screams my name.
Watching her climax is fucking phenomenal. Head thrown back, mouth parted, tits bouncing—she’s perfect. And afterward, when she looks at me like I’m hers…. Jesus. It slays me.
I push her hair away from her face and twist it around my finger. Never get tired of touching her. Now that she’ll let me, I’m not going to stop.
Didn’t think being with a woman could feel this good. Using chicks was my MO for so long, I forgot there was another way.
Until Temple.
She didn’t let me treat her like a pawn in my game. Made me rethink my strategy and earn her trust. And now I’ve learned her backstory, I know why. She deserves better than a worthless dick who’s going to use her. My woman spent her life fighting because no one else had her back.
It ends now.
The rest of my days will be spent putting her first. I’ll treat her like a damn queen, put her so high on a pedestal she’ll get vertigo. Angel, Saint, even Eve will watch out for her, too. I’ll make sure of it. Real family isn’t forged in blood, it’s built from loyalty.
My cell vibrates with a message on the nightstand. Careful not to wake Temple, I unlock the screen. It’s so fucking bright, I have to blink a few times.
Green light, motherfucker!
Grinning, I put the phone back without replying. Saint will see that I read it, my way of telling him it’s time to fuck shit up. He might give off carefree vibes, but he’s a deadly sonofabtich.
Best part is, Storm won’t see it coming until it’s too late.
Temple stirs, brushing her lips against my chest. “Are you awake?”
My cock’s instantly hard. “Yeah.”
“Is everything okay?” She looks at me. Even in the dark, her doe fucking eyes pierce me in half.
I cup her face with my hands. “Better than okay. I’ve got my woman naked and in bed with me. Couldn’t ask for anything else.”
She raises an eyebrow. “Really? So there’s nothing else you want?” Her small hand wraps around my shaft.
I grunt, because damn, she knows how to get my attention. “Fuck, babe.”
“That’s the plan, big guy.” With a teasing smile, she straddles me. Leaning forward, she bites my bottom lip. “Unless you’ve already got what you want. In which case I could—” She goes to climb off.
“Not a fucking chance.” I roll Temple onto her back, my forearms barricading her on either side of her head. “You’re where you belong.”
Her smile softens. “I like the sound of that.”
“Good, because that’s how it’s going to be.”
She brushes her lips against mine. “I love you. So much.”
And fuck if I’m not the luckiest asshole in existence. “Love you too, babe.” Since it’s impossible not to, I claim her mouth in a long, slow kiss.
She whimpers, wrapping her legs around my hips and rubbing her wet heat over my cock.
I bite her tongue, then thrust inside her cunt. She’s hot, soaked, and so fucking perfect I want to do it all over again. So, I do.
Throwing her head back, Temple moans, her mouth parting in pleasure.
I’ll never get tired of the sight, the sound, the feel of her. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. Temple’s mine, and no one, not even Storm, will destroy that.

Cruel Saint
I may have been born rich, but being arrogant and elusive is no accident. Neither is the carefully cultivated plan I’ve been working on for years.
* * *
I’m going to decimate my father’s empire and everyone in it. Including her.

The cold-hearted brunette with the body of a goddess and the mind of a criminal thinks she can play me. She thinks I don’t know every lie that crosses her seductive lips.
