Part 19 (2/2)
”Guess I'll have to make an honest man of you.”
”If I'd known that all it would take to get you to finally marry me is a baby, I would have knocked you up a lot sooner so you could be so full of life that I'd have to marry you.”
”How romantic,” I say dryly.
He takes my hand and stands, pulling me to my feet. ”I think you need to get out of the sun.”
”But my drink,” I protest as he leads me to a cabana near the beach house.
”I'll make another one for you.” Once we're inside, he gathers me in his arms. ”You have no idea how very s.e.xy I find you.” One of his hands glides to my stomach. ”How very primal I feel about you carrying my child.”
Desire surges, extra hard due to my hormones. I think I'm going to love this part of pregnancy. ”You can show me.”
Laughing, he lowers his mouth to mine, then at the last second, he lifts his head. ”As soon as you marry me.”
”Blackmailing me, are you?”
”How far along are you?” he asks.
I wince a little. ”Four months.”
”Are you b.l.o.o.d.y serious?” His gaze drops to my stomach then comes back to rest on my face.
”I was planning on tell you. Eventually.”
He shakes his head. ”It's settled. The captain will marry us tonight.”
”Are you sure about this? I don't want you to marry me just because I'm pregnant.”
He gazes into my eyes, love evident in his. ”From the very start, I knew you were the woman for me. Baby or no baby, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
What can I say to that, except, ”Ask me again.”
”Will you marry me, Morgan?”
”Yes. A million times yes.”

Some rules are meant to be broken...
Mercenary Dmitry Romanov makes a living transporting packages for wealthy clients. He lives by only two rules. One, don't ask what's in the package. Two, don't open the package. Those rules have made him rich and kept him alive. Now Dmitry is ready to retire, but when a former colleague asks for a favor and won't take no for an answer, he agrees to one last transport.
Everything is going to plan until this package starts moving.... and he breaks Rule number two.
Widow Chloe Riggs is finally ready to move on and follow the bucket list her husband made her while in the last stages of bone cancer. First up on the list, a European vacation she and her husband had always dreamed of taking. But while conquering number three on her list-dance with a stranger beneath the Eifel Tower-Chloe gets more than she bargains for and ends up in the trunk of a car, gagged and bound.
Unfortunately, Chloe's only means of escape is with the man who's driving her straight into danger.
Dmitry has his hands full with the feisty American, not only is she testing his resolve to stay professional, she's making him crave her hot body. Soon, the two give into their desires and blaze a hot path all over Europe while Dmitry tries to figure a way out of his predicament.
Can Chloe convince Dmitry to break all the rules and not only save her, but their future together? Or will his loyalty to the Bratva doom them both?.
