“So, we’re really doing it?” A devilish grin crosses Saint’s face, one that’s so ecstatic that it’s also a bit creepy, matching my own.

“Oh, we’re so doing this.”

“She’s not going to go easy,” Maverick warns.

“Of course she’s not,” I snort. “Our Little Bunny loves a good fight. I expect nothing less. But we all know, with time, she will realize her place is with us.”

“I hope so,” Maverick sighs, looking conflicted.

“Come on, bro.” Saint claps his shoulder. “Now is not the time to be a white knight.”

Maverick snorts. “I’d never dream of it.”

“Come on, boys.” I chuckle and this time when I head toward the exit, no one stops me. “Let’s go catch us a Bunny.”

“Sure,” Dad shouts after us. “I’ll just deal with this guy. No big deal.”

“Thanks, Dad,” I holler back with a laugh. “You’re the best.”

I swear I hear him mutter Damn fucking kids under his breath and it just makes me grin wider.

He loves us. And I know once he gets to know Cove, he will love her too.

Now, let’s go get our woman and put a baby in her.

Best. Fucking. Idea. Ever.

Chapter Nine

Saint

“We’re good. She’s fast asleep,” I confirm to my brothers after looking at the camera feed.

The room is dark, with only the moonlight streaming through the window, which provides just enough light for me to see Cove’s body sprawled out on her bed. The soft sound of her cute little snores fills the quiet air around us.

“Let me see.” Shep grabs the phone from my hand to look at it.

I roll my eyes. I swear sometimes I think this man is more obsessed with Cove than the rest of us.

Then I snort to myself in amusement because while he might be a little extra about it, Maverick and I are just as enthralled by our Bunny. We’re just more subtle about it.

I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t caught him by now with how he practically lives in that house in the dark of the night.

“We will see her in a few seconds, relax.” I snatch my phone back from him and pocket it.

Shep lets out a heavy, melancholic sigh. Ever the dramatic one. “I’m kind of sad about not being able to watch her through the camera anymore.”

I raise a brow and blink at my little brother. “She’s going to be in the same house with us, all day every day. We’re going to have the real thing, not just her picture on a screen. Why would you be sad about that?”

“There’s something about watching her in her natural habitat that soothes my soul.” Shep shrugs.

“She’s a human, not a fucking animal.” I shake my head. Kind of hypocritical if you think about it, considering we’re literally about to lock her within the walls of our property like she is one.

It’s not like we’re monsters, though. She’s going to have free rein of the estate. We have a swimming pool, theater room, and a tennis court.

“Don’t worry.” Maverick pats his shoulder placatingly. “We’re still going to have cameras all around the house.”

Shep nods his head. “True.”
