a person. Especially on someone who tried to hurt my family.”
    “I’m not scared.” Tino tried to act brave.
    “Moira! Get me my calving kit!”
    “Okay!” she shouted from the other room.
    “I like him,” I said to my father.
    “Here dearest.” Mrs. Daley walked into the room and handed her husband the kit.
    “Do you boys need anything else?” she said sweetly. Damn, I’d started to wonder if this was really their first time.
    “Are you going to start talking or am I going to let my father-in-law start the skinning process?”
    “I…I…” I guess we were going to get somewhere.
    “Spit it out, boy!” my father said.
    “He sent me here to kill the whole family.”
    “Why?”
    “To make sure no one talked.”
    “About what?” her father asked with a fileting knife in his hand.
    “About her abduction and the supposed letter. They knew once she was contacted by the investigators, they would learn that she didn’t write the letter. That’s all I know.”
    “My man said you were at the club when they grabbed Regan. What was the plan with that?”
    “Your men were tipped off that they would go to the club. She was dressed like Di and once your men were spotted leaving your home, Di left. I was there to make sure you took the bait.”
    I swung on him for calling my woman bait. “She’s not bait,” I growled.
    I was ready to go back at him when her father stopped me and said, “Calm down, Son. She’s in the other room.”
    “Where’s Diana now?”
    “I’m not sure…”
    I looked at her father and gave him his cue. He was fast. The filet knife crossed his face, tearing off a flesh. The pussy shouted out in pain.
    “I believe he asked you a question,” I said.
    “Vacationing in Hollywood.”
    “Is Flanagan still in Chicago?” I questioned.
    “He should be.”
    I walked over Regan’s father and whispered in his ear. He just gave me a nod. I took out my gun and pulled the trigger, blowing Tino’s head off. He was shocked to see the mess, but at least my men put a tarp down before we got started with the fuck. I had to get cleaned up before I found Regan.
    I was too late. In a panic, Regan came running in. She instantly looked at the slumped body covered in blood. Fuck.
    “Damn it, Regan. Get out of here, amore.”
    “Oh my…” she said completely disturbed by what she saw. I handed the gun to my father and ran up to my woman. I wrapped her up in my arms.
    “Shh…amore, you shouldn’t have come in here.”
    “I’m sorry. I was just worried when I heard the gun shot. I thought it could be you.”
    “Amore, I don’t care if it was me. You don’t come running into danger ever. Understood?”
    “But…”
    I pinched her pretty lips shut and shook my head. “No. You don’t risk yourself. Ever.”
    I looked at her, and her eyes kept trying to look away from me, but then she’d end up looking at the corpse.
    “Stop looking over there,” I commanded, but she wouldn’t look away. Damn, I didn’t know what to do.
    It was her father that responded, “Take her upstairs the second door on your left.”
    “Come, amore.” I turned back to my father, and he gave me a quick nod, letting me know that they’d take care of the mess.
    “Shh…my beautiful brave woman. You weren’t supposed to see that.” My heart actually hurt with her emotional confusion.
    Once we reached the room, I realized where we were—her bedroom. This was not the time for my cock to wake up, but it did. Normally, I wasn’t into sex after I offed someone. Unlike some, killing wasn’t a turn on, it was a must. Right now, though, I was feeling like fucking my woman until she returned to me.
    I bent down, tasted her mouth and her tears.
    “I need to clean up. Do you want to sit on the bed and wait or do you want to join me in the shower?”
    She only blushed, and I had my answer. I locked her bedroom door and walked us to the bathroom. This time I undressed us both. I knew I shouldn’t be trying to fuck her
