This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales
is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.
Warning:
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This book has been
rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.
Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-
rotic), and X (X-treme).
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall
word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find
objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated
titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as
“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,
stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Taking It All
Chapter One
Jonathan Hunter squinted against the morning sunlight. Muscles he hadn’t used in
ages slowly woke up with him, throbbing, pulsing. He’d be a sore son of a bitch today.
Tension had clamped down on him for months now. Last night caused the tightness
to dissipate some. The fight wasn’t over yet—but it had come to a head.
Having Joanna, the only woman he’d ever loved, had taken such a load from his
shoulders. He’d spent years following her, making sure trouble stayed out of her path.
It had been exhausting. Keeping one step ahead of the many hired killers who would
take her out just to get a promotion, had been his preoccupation for years.
Now she was with him—her and her son, Alex. Their son. His boy.
Joanna’s slow, deep breathing, while she lay sprawled over his chest, was all the
blanket he needed. There was a peacefulness in her expression, half masked by several
strands of hair that fell across her face. She looked more relaxed than she had since
she’d moved here to Valley View, Colorado.
There was a reason for that. Finally, she was right where she was supposed to be.
With him. In his bed. And she would stay with him.
The phone rang. Her lashes fluttered. He grabbed it before it rang twice, hoping
she’d continue to sleep. After all she’d been through the night before, she deserved it.
“Hunter!” The excited voice on the other end of the line caused an unfamiliar
swelling in his chest.
The pressure turned warm and spread through him. He smiled. “Morning, champ,”
he said, his voice scratchy.
He lived for the day when Alex would call him Dad.
Joanna opened her eyes, moving slowly over him. His dick stirred between them,
oblivious to the amount of lovemaking they’d done the night before, and more than
ready for more.
“Is Mom going to take me to school this morning?”
She rolled off him, sitting and stretching, then scratching her head. Long brown hair
fell past her shoulders, tousled, looking absolutely adorable.
“How about if we both take you to school. Would you like that?”
“Sure. Can I talk to Mom?”
“You bet. We’ll be there in thirty minutes.”
Joanna took the phone from him, and he heard Alex speak when she put it to her
ear.
“Mama, is everything okay?”
