The One who got Away

again, on the lips, and I giggled loudly.

“What are you doing?” I laughed.

“I want to get this started for him,” he said. “I don’t want it to be something looming over him.”

“Okay,” I said, smiling. “I’ll be here when you’re done.”

“I love you,” he said before turning and walking from the room.

“I love you, too,” I whispered.

I climbed back in the bed and laid there, staring at the ceiling and thinking about my future. I always knew I wanted a business, and now I had one with the man I loved. But even more exciting than building an empire, was the thought of building a family with the man I love. Having those loving arms wrapped around me and our children was a new dream for me, but something I craved to have with Nathan more than anything else. I knew he was going to be a phenomenal father as well as an amazing husband for the rest of my life. Just the vision of the beautiful babies we could have, made me want to get started right away on a family. If my parents could see us now, they would be so excited to know that they would be grandparents. Part of me was sad that I would never share that with them, but the other part of me knew they were there somewhere, guiding me, watching over me, and smiling down at the kind of woman I had turned into.

Bringing a new life into this world and forging an even stronger bond with Nathan was something that I just couldn’t help but smile about. I ran my hands over my belly, thinking about the last few days and thinking that for all I knew, there could be a life starting inside of me as we spoke. The spark of light that turned into a beautiful person could be happening already, and that child would be a child of love and laughter. The child would have been made from pure love of two people that happened to find each other in the strangest place. I knew right then that I had found my happily ever after, and I was never going to let it go.

Passion

Blurb

I am a single dad with needs.

I am also a DEA agent with a huge attitude and a very big…gun.

Four bullets into my body and I am reminded that my little girl needs her dad.

I gotta keep her safe, even if that means leaving this place and getting into my little hometown.

And while we are recovering from the stress of big city, Jenny happens to me.

Jenny, the girl I babysat.

Jenny, the skinny innocent girl that has turned into a voluptuous beauty.

Jenny, whose gorgeous eyes melt my heart…and soul.

And then, I realize Jenny needs my protection too.

I’ll destroy everything in my path to claim her, mark her as mine.

Yes, this DEA agent will do all it takes to keep the two women in his life safe, and happy.

May be, this could turn into our happily ever after.

Who knows?

Prologue

“Get the fuck down!”

I felt the heat of the bullet as it swished past my head and smashed the window behind me into pieces. Glass rained over me as I rolled for cover, my gun held tightly in my hand. I looked to my left where my partner, DEA Agent Raul Garcia, was crouching behind a crate marked FRAGILE. He quickly stood up, fired two shots, and returned to his cover. His efforts were rewarded with a flurry of gunshots that slammed into the crate and the wall above him, showering him in plaster.

Raul looked over at me, frowning in anger.

I’m never going to hear the end of this, I thought.

We had gotten the tip this morning, a major drug deal that was supposed to go down with some major players involved. We had staked the place out for hours, half knowing that nothing was going to happen. For the past few months, our luck had been complete crap. The bad guys were getting a lot more tips than we were, and the DEA was going crazy trying to find out where the leak was.

That’s why it had been a surprise when a van pulled into the warehouse, followed by three cars, all with headlights off. Raul had wanted to call for backup, but I knew exactly what that meant. By the time anyone showed up, the mole would have sent a warning out, and we’d miss our chance. I needed a win. We all did, and I wasn’t going to let these guys slip away.
