Bonus Epilogue

Six months later…

TESSA

“Tessa, I have no words for how perfectly this turned out. It’s even better than we could have imagined,” Cash says as we walk around the converted hotel.

I struggle to keep my composure because, for my first real job, I’m pretty dang proud of myself. The hotel and casino renovation went ridiculously smoothly, and the Savage family was nothing but supportive of my work throughout the entire project.

“Thank you, Cash,” I reply.

He turns to face me, his eyes dark and sparkling. His brothers and father were here earlier when we did the final walkthrough, but they’ve since left, leaving me and Cash alone. The Savage men are intimidating. There’s no doubt in my mind that they are dangerous. Maybe even as deadly as Ronan and his men. But they’ve been nothing but professional and kind to me.

“I have to be honest, Tessa. I’m going to miss having you around, but I’m not going to miss your husband hovering like a territorial animal. I swear, anytime you’re within one hundred miles of Las Vegas, I fear for my life.”

That makes me burst out into a fit of giggles. He isn’t wrong. Though I think Ronan and Cash have formed some sort of truce, Ronan has still remained the possessive and jealous man that he is when it comes to me. And though I’ll never admit it to him, I absolutely love how obsessed he is. Especially since I’m just as obsessed with him.

“He’s not that bad,” I reply with a grin.

Cash raises his eyebrows, his gaze flicking beyond my shoulder and then back to me. “No? Then why does he keep adjusting his suit jacket so I get a glimpse of his gun? I’m pretty sure he may actually shoot me in my own casino if I try to hug you goodbye.”

I turn to look behind me, and sure enough, the love of my life isn’t far away, his eyes dark and deadly as he stares at Cash. Something exciting flickers inside me. I’ll probably regret this later when my ass is throbbing, but I can’t help myself.

Looking up at Cash, I flash him a mischievous smile. His brows furrow, and before he realizes what’s about to happen, I throw my arms around his waist and hug him.

“It’s been really nice working with you and your family. Thank you for everything.”

Cash tenses, his arms staying at his sides. “Tessa, you’re going to get me killed.”

I release him and take a step back, scrunching my nose. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell him not to. I just couldn’t pass up the chance to mess with him.”

Staring down at me like I’ve lost my mind, Cash lets out a low chuckle. “Jesus Christ. If you were mine and did something like that, you’d have a red ass for days.”

“Yeah, that was kind of the point,” I reply as I turn to head toward my very pissed-off-looking husband. “Take care, Cash.”

He shakes his head, the corners of his lips twitching. “You too, Tessa. You too.”

As soon as I’m within arm’s reach of Ronan, he grabs my chin, pulling me closer until his mouth hovers over his ear. “You’re getting my belt tonight for that little show.”

Heat rushes through me as butterflies erupt in my tummy. I tilt my head back to look at him, his own eyes glazed with arousal. “Well, if you think I deserve it, Daddy, I suppose I’ll just have to be a good girl and take my punishment.”

Ronan lets out a low growl, his nostrils flaring. “My little brat.”

“Yeah, Daddy. Your brat. Only yours.”

He gives my chin a squeeze, then presses a rough kiss to my mouth. “Only mine.”

As we walk toward the exit hand in hand, I glance at Cash, who is shaking his head with a smirk. I give him a little wave goodbye, but Ronan grabs my fingers and lowers them. He shoots Cash a glare while Cash holds his hands up as if to tell Ronan he’s innocent in all of this.

“Oh, Daddy, calm down. Cash is perfectly nice.”

Ronan sighs and leads me outside. “Uh-huh.”

“He just offered me a new contract for another hotel.”

I swear my husband has a slight heart attack as he stops mid-step. “Fucking awesome,” he says dryly.

Reaching up, I cup his face with both hands. “I won’t take it if you don’t want me to.”

His gaze softens, and he wraps his arms around me, hugging me tightly as we stand by our waiting SUV. “I want you to take it, baby girl. You’re amazing at what you do, and I’m so fucking proud of you. I’ll figure out a way to manage my jealousy. Might need to start drinking more, though.”

My eyes burn with tears as I giggle and squeeze him tightly around the waist. “I love you, Daddy. It’s only ever been you, and it will always only be you. You’re my soulmate.”

“And you’re mine,” he says softly, brushing a strand of hair away from my face. “But you’re still getting your ass spanked tonight.”

As he helps me into the SUV, all I can think about is how much I can’t wait for this evening. And all our years to come.
