my eyes. I’ve heard of that but I never had to experience it.

She leans her head against the wall. “My husband is the son of the cult leader, so if I overstepped, my punishment was always ten times more severe. I had a role to play, but I wouldn't play it.”

She pushes her hair behind her ear. “First he wanted me to be a recruiter when I married him when I was fourteen. He wanted me to let all of the young girls know what our life could offer.”

She looks at me, haunted. “They were given to all of his friends as prizes. I stopped. I would rather die than have someone suffer our fate.”

She licks her lips. “I got pregnant a month after I turned fifteen years old. I had her when I was fifteen. She’s six, I’m twenty-one, but I feel so old.” Her eyes are filled with unshed tears.

“After I lost her, I didn’t care. I let him have hell. I practically lived there. Four months ago, I hit him with a book. I almost died from the injuries. Between the injuries, the rape and letting the others take turns? Life has been hell.”

“Michael abused me too, every day. I can relate to you. I wish that we both could say we didn’t, but we did. We survived it—you can have a chance at a new life.”

She smiles, looking at her hands. “I’m almost scared to wish for that.”

I take her hand back. “Wish for it, honey. I got away from Michael, I have a man who truly loves, protects and cares for me, three children and a beautiful life. Anything is possible. You will get to be a mom to that beautiful little girl. You both deserve that life. I’ll make sure you get it.”

She squeezes my hand a little tighter. “I was told you were dead, that hurt me my whole life. I am so thankful to have you, for taking care of her.”

I lean over and hug her. She stiffens for a second before she relaxes. “I will always take care of you both.”

A few days later

Disney World

“Can I go on this ride?” Ronny asks, pointing to a small rollercoaster. Anna jumps up and down, “Oh, can I too?”

Maverick laughs. “Go on!”

Anna reaches over and takes Daniella’s hand, pulling her with them. Ronny takes the other hand and we watch them get on the ride together.

I can’t ride anything. I would definitely puke and I’m pregnant on top of that. Maverick’s hand rarely leaves my stomach, constantly rubbing it.

I can’t wait for the day he or she starts kicking. I know Maverick will love that.

Disney World is a blast. The kids are having the time of their life and want to do everything.

Daniella is doing better than I expected. The morning after she was rescued it was like she woke up with a mission to live her new life the best she can.

She has struggled, but if you didn’t know it, you wouldn’t see it. The hard part for her is Anna. She wants to be hands-on, do everything for her, and she doesn’t know how to go for it and not overstep. She wants to be her mom so bad, it breaks my heart.

One day at a time.

“You’re not too hot, are you?” Maverick rubs the back of my neck. I kiss his cheek. “A little bit. Want to sit in the shade?”

We sit down under a tree and keep an eye on the kids on the coaster. They wave to me and I wave back. Ronny is kicking his little legs, so excited.

“Are you feeling okay? I know the last couple of days have been a lot.”

I nod. “I’m better than fine. I’m happy. Things are tough, but it won’t always be like this, and I get to take my man to bed later.

He raises his eyebrows at me, a small smirk on his face. “Oh, is that so, honey?”

I give him the sexiest look, “The last couple of days have been hard. It's taking everything in my power not to jump your bones.”

He puts his hand on my knee, gliding it up towards my inner thighs. “Don't worry, I’ll take care of all of your needs,”

My face grows hot and it’s not from the heat. I fan my face and pretend to do anything else but think of his plans for me later.

He cups my face so I’m looking at him. “I fucking love that even now, after all of this time, baby, I get you so fucking fired up.” He kisses me hard, sucking my lip into his mouth.

My hands shake, gripping his shirt so I don't stick my hand down his pants right here in front of everyone.

“Look at me, Mom!” Ronny yells, breaking the moment, then they take off and I stand up, watching him, waving every time he comes around the curve.

“Prepare yourself tonight, baby,” Maverick says from behind me, and a shiver runs up my spine despite the heat.

As I watch the kids and Daniella on the rides, my phone rings. It’s Butcher. “Yeah?” I answer.

“Did you untie the parents?” he asks.

I think of it for a second. “No I didn’t, did you?”

“No.”

I grin. “Well that’s a damn shame.”

He chuckles and hangs up. Bell looks back at me and smiles.

Justice was served, baby.

The second I step out of the shower after the kids are in bed, Maverick snatches me off of my feet and I’m on the bed in a split second.

He is standing naked before me, stroking his dick, his eyes on me.

“Looks like my dinner is prepared for me.” He licks his lips, his pupils dilating before my very eyes. He grows harder and harder as he watches me.

“Spread your legs for me.”

I do as he asks. He falls to his knees right before me, his hands wrapping around my thighs, dragging me down until my butt is practically hanging off of the bed.

“God, this pussy is made for me,” he
