“What the fuck?” Troy whispers as he comes over and sees the dead body at my feet.
“It was his knife,” I tell him. I don’t know why I’m explaining. The man got what he deserved. “Stella is under my protection.”
He nods, knowingly. “And you and your brother are under ours. You’re both welcome to stay.”
We hurry up and leave, riding our bikes through the town and I only have one thing on my mind…
Getting home to my girl.
“What happened to you?” Stella asks in a panic when I show up at her door.
My shirt is covered in blood and she’s staring at it with wide eyes.
“It’s not mine,” I say as I walk in and peel it off. I toss it in her trash can along with the rest of my clothes and she takes it out back to burn it while I take a shower.
She’s going to make a good Old Lady.
When I come out with a towel wrapped around my waist, she’s sitting on the couch with a beer waiting for me.
Fuck, she’s going to make a great Old Lady.
“I guess your business is done here?” she asks as I sit down on the couch beside her. “Does that mean you’re leaving?”
I shake my head as I stare at her. “I still have business here.”
“Troy needs you for another job?”
“No. My business is with you.”
“Oh…”
“I want to marry you, Stella. You’re mine. I want to make it official.”
Her cheeks go pink as she smiles at me.
“Really?”
“Yeah. Really. I love you more than anything and I want to marry you. Will you marry me?”
She leaps on me with her arms wrapped around my neck.
“Yes!”
I grin as I breathe in her beautiful scent.
I’m going to marry this girl, buy her a house, and fill it with a ton of babies.
My hands slide up her shirt as her fingers start unraveling my towel.
And it looks like we’re getting started right now…
Epilogue
Stella
Two months later…
“Are you nervous?” I ask Nixie while we’re waiting for the school bus.
“No,” she says with a shrug. “Why would I be nervous? I’m going to be one of the smartest kids there.”
I can’t help but laugh. I think she got some of her Uncle J’s cockiness.
It’s the first day of school and Beckham offered to drive her in on his motorcycle. I thought it would be better for her to take the bus. She’s already the type of kid that’s not going to fit in easily and riding up on the back of a loud Harley clinging onto her intimidating uncle Beckham won’t help matters at all.
“Just remember,” Jaxon says as he drapes his arm over my shoulders. “Pick the biggest, baddest guy in the schoolyard and kick his ass.”
“That’s prison, not elementary school,” Nixie says with a roll of her eyes.
“Really?” he says with a playful grin. “It worked for me.”
“You’re going to do great,” I say to her as she fiddles with the straps on her new backpack. “You already have a friend.”
The bus comes rolling around the corner, and I swear, I’m more nervous than she is. We say our last goodbyes and she climbs onto the bus and sits down beside Zhu who is waving at us through the window.
My eyes are tearing up as the bus drives away, taking our little girl to her first day of grade five. It’s only been two months and I’m already so attached to her. I love my little family.
Jaxon bought us a gorgeous duplex on the outskirts of town. Beckham lives on top by himself and we have a room for Nixie in our place. She’s always bouncing up between the two spots.
True to his word, Jaxon married me a week after that nonsense with The Outlaws was settled. It was a gorgeous little ceremony by Hollow Lake and a party afterward in our new backyard. It was Beckham’s job to make sure that the boys didn’t go overboard with the partying and with his watchful eye on them, it went as smoothly as could be.
We walk back to our house, hand in hand.
“It’s hard to believe that we’ll have to do this with our own child in about five years,” Jaxon says with a wide grin. He always has an unstoppable smile on his face when he talks about our unborn child.
My hand goes to my belly and I smile, thinking about it.
“Do you think it’s going to be a boy or a girl?” I ask.
“I don’t care,” he says as he stops and takes me in his big arms. “As long as it comes from you, I’ll be happy.”
He kisses me on the lips and I melt into his embrace, not caring that the neighbors could be watching us.
They should be used to it by now.
This hot biker never takes his hands off me.
And I couldn’t be happier.

Stella
Ten years later…
“How do I look?” I ask as I spin around in my new date-night outfit.
“Like you’re about to get ravaged,” Jaxon says as his hungry eyes darken. He throws down his phone and gets off the bed.
I giggle as he picks me up and throws me onto the mattress.
“Save it for later, big man,” I say as he climbs on top of me. Oh, what’s the point in arguing?
We start making out on the bed and just as I feel my husband’s hard cock pressing into my thigh, there’s someone trying to break into the room.
“Go away!” Jaxon barks as the door handle turns and turns and then finally opens.
It’s Matthew. Our latest addition who came four years ago.
“I want to go too,” he says as Jaxon falls to the mattress beside me with a huff.
“We’ll be back before you know it,” I tell my little guy as
