Millie's Second Chance (The Town of Pearl 4)

She was shocked by his tone, but she looked at him. Their gazes locked.

“You belong to me and my brothers. We are going to protect you and be here for you at all times. I am not going to take any chances.”

He was so dominant and bossy, but she wasn’t afraid of him. She knew that he cared for her deeply, just as she cared for him.

Millie reached toward his cheeks and cupped his face.

“You can’t let him get to you, Ant. You can’t give him that kind of control of you. It will eat you up and it will put a wall between the two of us. Please, baby, please listen to me. I love you.” She pressed her lips to his.

Anthony hugged her tighter then she caressed his cheeks as she slowly pulled her lips from his. She leaned her forehead against his forehead and he shook his head.

“Stubborn woman.”

“Stubborn man,” she countered, and he chuckled, then pulled her away from the wall and lowered her feet to the floor.

Marco approached with a smile on his face.

“I have to head back into town for a few hours. Anthony is staying with you. Jeremy will be home later as well as Hank and Dalton. We’ll work out a schedule.”

“We’ll discuss that together later, Marco. Your jobs come first,” Millie stated.

Marco wrapped an arm around her waist and hoisted her up against him. “You come first.” He quickly kissed her before he released her to Anthony and gave her a light smack on her backside. There would be no talking to Marco right now. Later on, when all the men were together, she would set them straight.

Anthony locked the door then he grabbed her bag with one hand and her hand with the other as he led her through the living room to the stairs.

“Since I’m here to welcome you into our home for your stay, you get to sleep in my bed tonight.”

Millie chuckled. Anthony seemed quite pleased with the idea and she wondered if his brothers knew yet.

“How do you think the others might feel about that?”

“Oh, who cares? I’ve got you and that’s all that matters right now.”

Millie tightened her hold on his hand, making him pause at his bedroom door.

“They won’t get upset, will they?” she asked, worried about jealousy. Although they hadn’t minded sharing her one bit and were knowledgeable about ménage relationships, she wasn’t sure. This was the first and, God willing, the last time she would be in a relationship with five men.

He pulled her against his chest and stared down into her eyes.

“We enjoy sharing you and loving you. If we couldn’t handle it, we wouldn’t have started this relationship. Got it?” he asked in the firm, boss-like tone she was getting used to with Anthony.

“Got it, boss,” she retorted, and he chuckled as he pulled her into the bedroom.

“I think I like the sound of that.”

He tossed her bag to the side then grabbed for her, pressing her body hard against his own.

“As a matter of fact, I think you need some bossing around, especially here in my bedroom.”

Oh Lord, what have I just unleashed by calling Anthony boss?

He made quick work with his hands, divesting her of her clothing. She attempted to unbutton his shirt, but he was in charge and she couldn’t get a move in edgewise.

When he pushed her jeans down and saw she had no panties on, he tore his shirt from his chest.

“Fuck, baby, just knowing that you’re obeying our rules, especially this one, makes me so fucking horny right now. I can’t wait to be inside of you.”
