All my body movements cease as she descends the stairs into the underground poker game frequented by mafia miscreants and societal outcasts that have no right to be blessed with the presence of such exquisite beauty. My eyes are drawn to her ring finger like a magnet and despite not knowing her name or anything about her, I already know what her future holds. Because she belongs to me. Always. And that starts now. I’ve found the sweetest girl in the world and now it’s my duty to protect her from harm. She is mine to guard, to keep, to marry. I’m a king and I’ve found my queen. When you know you know and a real man doesn’t waste time claiming her for the entire world to see, to know she’s off-limits to everyone but him. Forever. I’m possessive, territorial, and jealous. Her presence at my side isn’t optional. No. F'ing. Way. She’s going to be a permanent fixture in my life and me in hers. She’s my life now and I’m bringing her home. This is a short, steamy romance with some daddy talk. No OW drama and no cliffhangers. Always a sweet HEA.
