and ripped it open. She rose reluctantly off his flesh only long enough for him to roll the condom into place before she took him inside again. “Not without me baby. Not without me there to protect you and make sure that you are taken care of.”
    “Not without you,” she agreed thinking that she would never need a ménage again as long as she had him in her life. “Never without you.”
    Epilogue

    “Where the hell have you been young lady?” Dom demanded as Maggie entered the room. He was appalled that his daughter was in jeans and sandals with a casual shirt. She looked common.
    “Why I’ve been busy daddy dearest,” Maggie cooed and it was then that he noticed the rock on her finger.
    “So you married one of them. Which one was it?” Dom demanded. He’d of course have to make them redo the wedding vows, a big society splash filled with all the right people but at least the girl had finally shown some common sense and done what he’d ordered.
    “I didn’t marry either of those men.”
    “Well, who then? Who did you marry Margaret?” Dom could feel the vein pounding in his temple and knew that his face was turning red with anger.
    “Do you remember the two men that came into the office the last time I was here? The two that were sent to discuss things with you?” Maggie smiled up at him when he snarled at her.
    “What the hell have you done you stupid little girl? Those weren’t the ones you were supposed to entice. Can’t you do anything right? Do I have to do everything for you?” He turned away and moved behind the desk. “I’ll take care of the dissolution. Just tell me where the ceremony took place and I’ll get you out of this mess.”
    “San Antonio,” she murmured and waited for the bomb to drop in the room as her father processed that bit of information. When understanding lit his eyes she just grinned and nodded her head at him. “That’s right. I’ve met the family you tried to keep from me. I’ve met them and they’re wonderful.”
    “You don’t know what you’re talking about. Your mother couldn’t wait to get away from them,” he declared.
    “Because she thought your money would buy her happiness. She learned a different lesson though, didn’t she?” Maggie’s eyes went cold now as she took in the man in front of her. It was amazing what a little bit of knowledge and distance could make you see. He was nothing. And she had spent too much of her life trying to please nothing.
    “You’re just as stupid as your mother,” her father thundered as he stood from behind the desk planting his meaty fists on the surface and leaning towards her. She was almost afraid that Alex would enter the room and hoped that Patrick would keep him out there waiting for her instead of helping him into the room. And just the thought of Alex made her smile and release the rest of the pain at having a father who didn’t love her, who saw her as nothing more than a possession.
    “No, I’m nothing like my mother, not anymore, and never again. It took me long enough but I’ve finally realised something that she never did.” Maggie looked again at her father and felt a deep sadness for him. As much as he surrounded himself by people and things when he died he would be all alone. And he had no one to blame except himself.
    “What is it that you think you’ve learned little girl?” he demanded but the bluster had dimmed and she realised that he knew she was leaving.
    “That money means nothing if you don’t have someone to enjoy it with. That life is more than wearing the right thing and going to the right places, being seen with the right people. But more importantly, I’ve learned that I don’t have to spend my life trying to please a man who will never be happy.”
    “You’ll regret this little outburst Margaret and you’ll come crawling back to me begging for my help.”
    Maggie just smiled and shook her head. “No. I’m doing the one thing that my mother never could. I’m
