He growls, lifting me up in the air and tossing me over his shoulder. “I believe you do.”
Chapter Nine
Axel
I bought a house on a fucking hill to keep people away from me and yet so far, I’ve had two people I despise end up on my property within a month and they want to accost my beloved. I need to marry this woman and let the world know that there’s no one else but her.
As soon as I got Honey relaxed after two orgasms, I went into the kitchen and fix us a simple lunch. Then I made a couple of calls. We’re getting married at City Hall tomorrow. The paperwork has been collecting dust in Brooks’s desk drawer for weeks now.
“Sleeping beauty, Daddy has your lunch.” She smiles sleepily, sitting up in bed.
“What are you still doing here?”
“Damn, you can’t wait for me to leave?”
“No, it’s just… I thought you said you were on a work site.”
“I was, but you’re more important.” I brush my lips against hers. “Now, eat. We have a lot to do in the next sixteen hours.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, tomorrow morning, you’re going to finally become Mrs. Knight.”
“What?” Her mouth falls open, and her beautiful eyes widen to the point where I have to steal a kiss.
When I pull back, I add the details because it’s not going to be the princess wedding she deserves. “Well, it’s only going to be at City Hall, but I can’t wait another day. Hell, I’d do it right now, but I don’t want to rush you down without allowing you time to get ready.”
“Axel, are you serious?”
“Of course I am. You’re going to be my wife. I’m tired of motherfuckers doubting that you belong to me. There’s no one or nothing that’s going to come between us.” She sets down the sandwich and tosses off her covers. Fuck me, my tee shirt is so sexy on her. It was the one I was wearing while I was working today. I usually don’t work with my hands, but with the amount of work needing to be done, I offered to assist. Licking my lips, I stare at her pebbled nipples.
“Oh no, you don’t. I’m getting ready. Call my brother and have him get it ready right now.”
“What?”
“I’m tired of it too. I just had a bitch coming up here demanding I leave the house so she could move in because it was her turn. Never in my life did I want to punch a hoe, but I did. For years she’s been chasing you, and I thought it would stop when we got together or when she got older, but I was wrong.”
“You don’t have to fight over me because there isn’t any competition.”
“It’s not competition. It’s putting a bitch in her place. She used to say you left because you were so hard up that you couldn’t handle her.” She ducks her head like she’s worried there might be some truth to it.
“I was revolted by her.”
“I figured that.” I can see I need to reassure my woman she’s the only one.
“Being young isn’t the only thing that I find attractive about you. My heart and soul gravitate toward you. From the day we met, I hoped we’d be together, but I knew you were too young for me. I was an old man in comparison. It’s the reason Samuels tried to tear us apart. He wanted you and he thought bringing her in between us would do the trick.”
“I love you, Axel.”
“Good because I’m marrying you, and you’re not getting away from me,” I warn her. She smiles and nods like the good girl she is.
I call her brother, and thankfully he’s in his office. “I’m here, waiting for you two, but you better not keep me waiting too damn long.”
Within two hours, I was a lucky man to have a taste of Honey for the rest of my days.
Epilogue
Honey
“Daddy’s going to be home soon.” I smile at my oldest and think, yes, he is. My pussy throbs at the idea of him coming home, and that means relief. It’s been a full two days since I’ve seen him. We rarely spent time apart in our five years together, but he had a major project six hours away. I’m six months pregnant, so traveling with the kids wasn’t convenient or safe, so I stayed home.
“Yes, baby. Daddy will be home soon.” I bite my bottom lip, thinking about all the things he’s going to do to me once he’s home and our kids are in bed.
It feels like forever as the minutes move in slow motion. “How about we go for a swim?”
“Yay!”
I take Melody out of her play yard while my four-year-old gets his trunks. Five minutes later, we’re in the large in-ground pool while Melody plays in her splash pad in the shallow end. Colt can swim like a fish, but I don’t let him go to the deep end unless his dad is here or Melody is sleeping since I can’t watch them at the same time.
