way to exact his revenge.

He shifted his gaze in my direction. “You know what? I’m no longer the man I used to be.”

Or maybe not.

“Now the gallery owner?” Smiling, I winked.

“Something I think I’m going to like. What about you? I can’t see you fishing off the pier the rest of your life.”

“Don’t worry about me. I have various investments that will keep me busy.” Besides,” I said as I glanced toward the house, “I think our little woman is going to keep us on our toes.” I chuckled as I glanced down at the copper band Lindsey had purchased in Peru.

Diego followed my gaze, looking at his. It was funny that neither one of us had removed them since the day I’d shot and killed Michael.

“To enjoy life, you have to take risks.” Diego’s deep baritone seemed to float out to sea, the inscription we both knew by heart. How damn appropriate for two men who used to be mercenaries.

The scent of our beautiful little vixen instantly forced my cock at full attention. She smelled like fresh strawberries with a hint of exotic spices. When I felt her hand on my back, it was all I could do to keep from dragging her over the railing, fucking her just like the savage beast I truly was.

“You left me all alone,” Lindsey purred as she shifted between us, moving onto her tiptoes to kiss Diego first before turning to face me, a sly smile on her face. “All alone. That’s no fair.” Using the tip of her index finger, she brushed it down my chest in a beseechingly slow manner, finally rubbing it back and forth across my belt.

“Are you asking for a spanking?” I half whispered, a rush of adrenaline already sweeping through me.

“Mmm… I’m asking for something else.” She took a step away before I could grab her, slowly untying the sash on her robe. Her smile was very much the naughty girl that both Diego and I adored. As she allowed the material to slip off her shoulders, revealing her naked body underneath, I was forced to take a deep breath.

“Bad girl,” Diego chortled.

“Even bad girl girls need attention,” she counted. “Care for a shower? Boys?” Laughing, the sound enticingly provocative, she beckoned with a single finger before disappearing inside.

Diego let out a long breath before moving toward the door. “Maybe I won’t get started working on the gallery today.”

His grin was infectious, forcing me to smile once again. I waited as he walked inside, taking one last look at the ocean, concentrating on the luminescent shimmers as they danced in an unusual yet beautiful form.

Perhaps I was ready to let go of the shadows that had haunted me.

Of the past.

Of the heartache.

Of the guilt.

Time to share in the joy of true friendship.

And love.

Darkness was no longer my best friend.

Persuasion

Her father stole something from the mob and they hired me to get it back, but that’s not the real reason Giliana Worthington is locked naked in a cage with her bottom well-used and sore.

I brought her here so I could take my time punishing her, mastering her, and ravaging her helpless, quivering body over and over again as she screams and moans and begs for more.

I didn’t take her as a hostage. I took her because she is mine.
