27. I Love Him
EVERLEIGH
I stood in my room looking at my reflection in the mirror of the walk in closet. Adrianna, Rowan and Gran were all fussing about with my hair and dress. The row of pearl buttons along the back were a nice touch at the time but standing here having to have help to get in and out of the dress is for the birds.Ronan and his brother's left about an hour ago to head to the venue we will be getting married at. I still can't believe that Ronan wants to make it a surprise.Surprises like this are my least favorite. They make me anxious. I like my surprises to be spontaneous, like the day Ronan took me to his ranch.A soft knock at the door had me holding my breath until my brother popped his head in. It's still surreal to think that I have a family other than Adrie and Gran."Ladies, can we have the room for a minute?" Aleksandar asked with a slight smile.Rowan and Adrianna gave me one last look over before they left theRelated chapters
Mafia Kings: Ronan 28. She's A Vision
RONANThe staff that put together Everleigh’s vision on such short notice are definitely getting a bonus out of this. It's perfect. Every little detail is just how she described it.She just wasn't expecting it to be outdoors.When she hijacked Sean's earpiece and I heard the nervousness in her voice, I almost lost it myself. The way she said that she needed to talk to me almost had me in a panic attack. I've never had a panic attack before in my life. But then she slid her hand in mine and told me she loved me. It took everything I had to let her walk away. I almost went full on caveman and threw her over my shoulder and hightailed it back to the penthouse. Rannon bitched and moaned the whole way over here about having to escort Adrianna down the aisle to stand beside Everleigh. He claims that she gets on his nerves but I know better. I see the way he looks at her. And she's not shy about the looks she's been giving him. The little vulture.But that's not the thing that has me wo
Mafia Kings: Ronan 29. She's My Queen
EVERLEIGH The atrium was decorated perfectly. The decorations mirrored the park's decorations right down to my exact favorite color of coral. Ronan led me through the crowd to his waiting family. Aoife and Rowan were first to welcome me to their family, followed by his father. Ronan was off to the side talking to Rogan when strong arms grabbed me from behind and spun me in a circle before putting me back down.The action startled me to the point that I let out an involuntary shriek. The thoughts running through my head before I realized it was Rhyon, had me in fight or flight mode.When he put me down, he planted a wet, sloppy kiss directly on my mouth. To say I was shocked is an understatement. But it took everything I had not to laugh when he was chastised by all of his brothers, his father and even his mother.But I finally lost it when Rowen started poking fun at him. When she kicked off her shoes and took off running with
Mafia Kings: Ronan Prologue
PrologueEverleigh - 3 Years AgoIt was hot.So hot I almost couldn't breathe.I have no idea what day it is, where I am or who took me. All I do know is this room they have me squeezed in is stifling and disgusting. There’s no telling how many other poor girls have been locked in this room. It isn’t even big enough for a bed. Harry had it better living under a staircase than what I have in this box. At least he got to have a bed.I could see dried blood and other things that I don't even want to think about, on the walls and floor. I’m not entirely sure what happened to make our operation go sideways but all I can do is pray that they find me before my captors decide to kill me.I know Bryan is looking for me. He wouldn’t just let me go without a fight. We mean too much to each other. We don’t care that it is against department regulations, we still decided to have a physical relationship. I love him and he loves me.Hopefully I’m not too broken by the end of this ordeal. I don’t
Mafia Kings: Ronan 1. The Last Minute Party
EVERLEIGHThe app I use to help me sleep at night was cut off way before I wanted to wake up. Using a white noise app was the only way I could get a full night's sleep without the nightmares returning.Samson laid with his head on my stomach, his ears perked up and his long bushy tail wagging. I rescued him as much as he rescued me. I was part of the K-9 unit and after I got hurt he was supposed to go to another handler. He became aggressive and uncontrollable with his new handler and therefore that made him a liability. The head of my unit knew I wasn't coming back, not after I lost Bryan. So they let us both retire peacefully.I swung my legs over the side of the bed testing the balance on my right leg. It still gives me problems sometimes, especially first thing in the morning and definitely when it rains. And unfortunately, it has been raining here for almost a week straight and is unseasonably cold in the mornings and blazing hot by noon.Mother nature needs to get her hormones
Mafia Kings: Ronan 2. The Italians
EVERLEIGHWe were almost done carrying all of the floral arrangements into the building's cargo elevator. Gran took the first elevator full up and I was waiting for her to come back down so I could load the rest. The elevator was located at the back of the parking garage and was used by employees of the restaurants and businesses in the building.There were several workers coming up from behind me. They were all dressed in uniforms like a catering service. I smiled at the one closest to me and pulled out my phone to scroll my social media while we waited for the elevator to come back down. The engagement party was on the eighteenth floor so it would take time for it to come back down. I was so lost in my phone that I almost didn’t hear part of their conversation. It’s not my fault that I’m nosy by nature.“....minutes to get in and get out. Call Vinny and tell him to meet us out front. This elevator is taking too long.”I made sure to keep staring at my phone. It’s a good thing
Mafia Kings: Ronan 3. The Conference Room
RONANOne minute I was just shooting the shit with the guys, going over security plans for my little sister's engagement party, and the next thing I saw, there was a girl on the floor of my private conference room kicking the shit out of some guy.It was obvious that he was the reason for the blood on her face and the panicked look in her eyes.My guys being my guys, jumped into action pulling the guy off of her. Brennan and Sean threw him in the opposite corner, giving Oisin and Tadgh the chance to fuck him up as well. We may be criminals, but the line is drawn at hurting women and children.Even from my seat at the head of the table I can see this girl is a beauty. I’m instantly hit with the need to care and protect this girl at all costs.I don’t know why but before I can put much thought into my actions, I’m kneeling on the floor in front of her. I take back everything I said about her being a beauty. Those words aren’t enough to describe this little redhead at my feet.She’s fu
Mafia Kings: Ronan 4. Dr. Callaghan
EVERLEIGHThe ride to the hospital was uncomfortable to say the least. I was ushered back down to the private section of the parking garage and into a black SUV with dark tinted windows. The one he called Connor was in the front driving while I was stuck in the backseat with the devil of the city.How could someone so evil be so devastatingly handsome. And big.Jesus, was this man huge. He has to be at least six and a half feet tall.He sat staring at me with his head cooked to the side like he was memorizing every detail. Taking up most of the space in the back, making it hard to breathe.It wasn't hot per say, but his intense gaze was giving the butterflies in my stomach butterflies of their own."So Everleigh, how long have you been working with your grandmother?" He asked me. Is he serious right now? Like he hasn’t investigated all of the vendors that have anything to do with this engagement party.“Listen, cut the bullshit, I’m only allowing you to drop me off at the hospital.
Mafia Kings: Ronan 5. The Babysitter From Hell
EVERLElGHWhen we finally got back to my apartment, it was almost time for Gran to go to her bowling club. Tuesday night was bingo, and Friday nights were set aside for bowling. Sometimes, I would go with her because she's just that cool.But not tonight.No. Tonight I would be Iocked in my apartment with the most dangerous man in the city.What made this man dangerous was not that he was a cold-blooded killer. Oh no, it was that I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. It scared the hell out of me. And it excited me all at the same time.Why did that excite me?Was it because he was dangerous, or was it because he was drop-dead gorgeous.I very much think it's the latter.This man could do irreparable damage to my mind, body, and soul.Ronan sat and talked to Gran for a few minutes, just to fill her in on what the doctor said. The ease with which they talked to each other suggested they have known one another for longer than I thought.My suspicions were confirmed when something Gr
