Beautiful Surrender by Ember-Raine Winters
Title: Beautiful Surrender ~ Pride and Honor
Author: Ember-Raine Winters
Release Date: September 28th, 2017
Genre: Romantic Suspense
The final chapter of the Pride and Honor Series is finally here.
Trey
Pissed couldn’t even begin to describe the way I felt when I thought about her. She lied to me. She didn’t even have the decency to stick around and explain herself. The only problem, we needed her to find my family, and despite how angry I was, I needed her. She was everything I ever wanted and I had no idea how to make her stay.
Kenzie
I didn’t do relationships. I didn’t do family, and I definitely didn’t do feelings. But, when I was with him, I found myself dreaming about the what-ifs and could be’s. That was dangerous. Anyone who had the misfortune of loving me ended up dead and I refused to let that happen again. My walls were thick but the scary thing was Trey might just be the one to break them all down.

KENZIE
Stupid Trey and his stupid ideas about my driving! He didn’t think about the fact that both times I drove we were kind of in the middle of a life or death situation. No, he only saw my erratic driving. Well okay, maybe I am a little erratic most days. They do like to call me terrorist Barbie, but as Trey sat there smirking over at me with his stupid green eyes that a girl could get lost in, I sulked.
“Well?” he asked sitting in the driver’s seat waiting, as I continued to watch the way his muscles bunched under his shirt. I needed to shut this down. Maybe if I just fucked him and got it over with I could get him out of my head and we could work on getting everyone back. I shook myself internally and banished that idea to the back of my head. That might be the worst idea I had ever had, and that was saying something.
“Well what?” I asked stupidly as I continued to try to rein in my hormones. I was sitting too close. His smell was all around me, suffocating me, intoxicating me.
“Do you have an address?” He repeated, laughing and I watched in fascination as his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
Come on, Kenzie! Focus!
“Um, yeah,” I stuttered as I handed over the address. His fingers brushed my hand and I felt a jolt of electricity race up my arm and back down my spine.
I have no idea how I got there but the next thing I knew, I was straddling his wide hips, grabbing his hair and pulling his head hack. His eyes were wide but lust was shining back at me. My mouth came down on his, and my hand was still fisted in his hair, pulling it as I kissed him desperately. His hands were everywhere at once. I laced the fingers of my other hand in his hair as well and then bit down on his bottom lip forcing the sexiest growl from him. He put both hands on my hips and pushed me down onto his hardened cock. My hips gyrated seemingly on their own and I moaned, tilting my head back feeling the sensations wash over me. He took that as an invitation to trail his lips down across my throat to the top of my breasts, pushing down my T-shirt, where he licked and sucked them into his mouth one by one. While his mouth played havoc on my chest, his good hand trailed down until it was stuck between us.
“What are you doing to me, Kenzie?”
He cupped me over my too tight jeans and I groaned. His fingers skillfully started undoing the button on my jeans, and his hand dove inside immediately finding my clit, circling it with just the right amount of pressure to make me grind down on him harder. He growled and bit my beaded nipple through the fabric of my top—it was too much. The sensations of his mouth and fingers had me spiraling over the edge and I came with a shout.
After a moment, I looked down into his too cocky face and watched as he pulled his fingers from my panties and brought his fingers to his lips and sucked them clean. “When we get back from this meeting, I’m going to show you exactly what I have been fantasizing about doing to this tight little body for the last two years.”
That made me pause. He had been fantasizing about me? Even before we met? It was too much and I jumped off of him quickly and sat back in my seat as far away as I could get from him. “No,” I said rapidly putting myself back to rights. “We can’t do that again. We need to focus on everyone else. Let’s get to the meeting before the contact thinks we bailed.”
Turning my head, and watching out the window, I hoped that he wouldn’t see the pain and confusion etched across my features. I definitely didn’t want to see the hurt in his eyes.
“Whatever you say, Kenzie,” he sneered and put the car in reverse. I was glad he didn’t argue, but the way he said my name hurt some deep unknown part of me, and for the first time one of the walls I built up around my heart cracked just a little. I couldn’t let him get close. My mother was murdered simply for wanting me. I couldn’t let anyone else die because of me, especially not Trey.
Beautiful Delusions ~ Pride and Honor 1

Griffin
One moment was all it took. One wrong word and she was gone from my life. Fifteen years later, I had a chance to make things right. I could even make Kaylee mine...

The
plane ride had been over five hours so far, and it felt like the longest of my
life. I didn't know what was going on with Marcy and Kenzie, and worse, I had
no idea where my son was, and that was killing me the most.
Twitch
was doing his nervous twitchy thing and it had me on edge. “What's the matter,
brother?” I asked warily.
“I
got a bad feeling about this.”
“Shit.
Really?” I got up from my seat. I knew better than anyone what Twitch’s
feelings resulted in. He had an uncanny sixth sense when things were about to
go bad and fast. I couldn't sit still any longer.
“Mac,
it's going to be okay, we will get him back,” Tasha said vehemently.
I
nodded but continued pacing. There was nothing else I could do until we landed
and saw what the situation was. Tasha was upset too. Marcy was her friend and
Tasha’s dad, Barnes, was responsible for this mess. We all knew he was behind
it, but we didn’t have one fucking detail yet.
The
worst part of this whole shit show? That I was still pissed at Marcy, and I was
feeling completely guilty about that. How could I be so angry with someone and
still love her at the same time? It had been twelve years since she left me,
and yet I still thought of little else. I should have fought harder. I should
have stayed in Baltimore and made her talk to me.
The
flight attendant came out and told us to put our seat belts on in preparation
of our descent, so I sat down next to Tasha. I never stopped moving though. My
knee was bouncing up and down burning off my nervous energy.
“You
still love her don't you?” Tasha placed her hand on my knee.
“It
doesn't matter.”
“Sure
it does.”
“No,
Tasha. It really doesn't. She made her choice. She knew what her decision would
do to me and she did it anyway. She knew how important having a family was to
me and she stole that from me. So, no, the fact that I still love her makes no
difference because she obviously never loved me.”
Tasha
glared at me for all of five seconds before her tirade began. “That's bullshit
Mac and you know it. I could tell when you all rescued us from Doug’s basement
that she was still in love with you. I could tell the day that Twitch proposed
to me and she screamed in my face about Twitch ruining everything that she felt
guilty for what she had done. I had no idea what it was at the time, but I
could see it. You both need to get over your hang ups, stop being stupid, and
just be together because everyone can see that's what you both want.”
“Okay,
babe,” Twitch said softly, seated on the other side of her. “That's enough.”
She
looked angry and I had no idea why. I had heard Marcy had freaked on Tasha that
morning but I wasn't sure why.
Even
if I hadn't found out the way I did, I would have found out eventually,
especially now with all the craziness. I thought about that in silence the
whole drive to Brock’s compound.
“Shit,
is that smoke?” Griffin asked when we were about a mile away. Everyone started
yelling at once.
“Go,
go, go. You have to go faster,” I yelled at the same time Tasha said, “Holy
fuck, holy fuck, that's Brock's compound.”
“Tasha,
it's okay. I'm sure they are fine. Brock has cameras everywhere. They saw it
coming.” Twitch attempted reassurance while rubbing her shoulders. “They had to
have seen it coming.”
He
added the last part mostly to himself, but he looked at me with a grimace. I
knew he was as worried as Tasha, but I was jumping out of my skin. Marcy had to
be okay. She just had to be. There was no other option. I was not losing them
both.
The
gate was a twisted pile of burning metal and I thought the worst. The thick
column of smoke got thicker and hung heavier in the air the closer we got to
the house. Griffin was driving as fast as he could, but there was very little
visibility. If we weren't careful the smoke would cause an accident and we
might never make it to Pix.
The
bright orange flames engulfed the house. My heart nearly beat out of my chest
when I saw it.
“Shit,
what do we do?” Trey asked, panicked.
“Get
on the phone with emergency services and leave an anonymous call about the
fire. We will search the surrounding area for any sign of them,” Griffin
commanded.
“If
they were in the safe room, there is a possibility they are still in the house.
How do we get in there to check?” I asked completely irrationally.
“We
don't.”
“Fuck
that. I'm going in there and you're not stopping me, Griffin.”
I
jumped from the SUV and went around to the back. Grabbing my bag, I rifled
through it and found a small hand towel and a bottle of water. After pouring
some on the towel, I dumped the rest on my head.
“Bro,
you can't go in there,” Twitch said from behind me.
“Yes,
I can, and I am.” I shoved past him towards the house.
“Mac,
you can't.” Tasha attempted to get in front of me.
“Don't.
He popped his shoulder out of place trying to get to you when you were locked
in that basement.” I pointed wildly at my cousin. “He was a mad man when it
came to looking for you. I will move you out of my way if I have to, Tasha.”
Thankfully,
she stepped aside after that. The closer I got to the house the hotter it got.
It looked like whoever had set fire to the house had busted the door down
first. I got down low and held the towel over my nose and mouth and went
inside. It was like a horror show in there. The heat was so bad I felt like my
blood was boiling and my skin was searing off.
“Marcy,”
I yelled through the towel over my mouth. “Marcy.”
Please God, let her be okay.
That
was when I heard a slight tapping. A support beam had fallen and held the door
to the saferoom closed from the outside. The tapping was faint, and I prayed
that the room was air locked. If not she would have smoke inhalation by the
time I was able to get to her.
The
beam was on fire and blocking the door. Removing my jacket, I wrapped it around
my hands and grabbed the only part of the beam that wasn’t burning and pulled.
I used all my strength, but it refused to budge and I knew that I couldn't
continue my heavy breathing, or I would be dead in minutes.
A
hand came out then, and grabbed another part of the beam. Trey and I lifted it
together and moved it away from the door.
I
pushed the door open and that was when I saw her. All five-foot-two beautiful
Pixie laying on the floor. Her face was ashen, and I could tell she was barely
hanging on. Picking her up, I cradled her to my chest and silently prayed.
Trey
and I tried to move quickly, but the house was falling down around us. Every
few steps, we had to dodge a board or a beam. The floor beneath was losing its
integrity as well.
“Hurry
Trey, or we’re gonna be buried alive,” I shouted just as the floor gave way
beneath my foot.
“Mac,”
Trey bellowed, not realizing what had happened. “Come on, man. We gotta go.”
“Take
her and get out of here. As soon as I get my leg out I will be right behind
you.”
Trey
started to argue, but the look I gave him was lethal. He grabbed Marcy and
headed stealthily to the door.
When
they cleared the front door, I covered my mouth with the edge of my shirt to
get a breath of air and then attempted to get my foot out of the floor. Every
time I pulled, a searing pain shot through it. I gritted my teeth and tried
again, but I was already coughing from the lack of oxygen in the room. I laid
my head down to give myself a moment and try to catch a breath, but it was
useless. Just before everything went black, I felt a pair of hands pulling me
back towards the flames.

Marcy was mine since the day I met her, we grew up together, we served together, and we were going to be together forever. A misunderstanding ruined that. I never stopped loving her, though, and I will do whatever it takes to protect her.
MARCY
I made a horrible mistake. Once he finds out what I did, he’ll never forgive me. That's okay though. I will never forgive myself for depriving him of the only thing he ever wanted.
