She smiles. “So bossy.”
“As long as you know what it is then it’s all good,” I say, snagging her around the waist and yanking her to my chest while my other hand cradles her face. We connect in a sweet, brief kiss before someone says, “Get a room.” A rumbling chuckle comes from me as Everly gasps and pulls away with embarrassment.
“Later,” I grumble and then give my mother a knowing look before adding, “Take good care of her.”
“Of course, dear.” She takes Everly’s arm and hooks it around hers. “Let’s go before he gets more distracted.” I wave them off and head toward the locker rooms while she leads Everly to her office to gather her things.

She spent the entire day and night with my mother, so by the time I saw my precious Everly, she was sleeping in her bed, but that was unacceptable to me. I swiftly scooped her up and carried her to my bed. “Excuse me, little girl, but where is your bed?”
“I’m pretty sure I was just sleeping in it,” she mumbles sleepily, but I hadn’t missed the attitude in her voice.
“Not your bed, but you need to be in my bed.”
“Or your bed is with me.”
“No, my bed is a lot bigger. Besides, I expected you to be sleeping under the covers when I got home. Why weren’t you in there?”
“This.” She handed me a paper.
You’re my baby daddy, and will pay up, Linda.
The note was left in the mailbox when I got home.
“Are you serious? I told you the truth when it came to my experience, Everly.”
“I believe you. I’m scared, Julian. I’ve been in love with you since I was sixteen years old, and it took forever for you to notice me.”
“I noticed you. I most certainly noticed you, Everly. Hell, the past four years were necessary so I could focus on my career and so you could grow up or I would have done something dumb.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I love you, Everly. I should have made that clear the second you walked through the door. This whole housekeeper bullshit was just to keep you inside the apartment and stop you from having to work outside. The idea of you working for another man set my teeth on edge. You belong to me.”
“Do I?” she sasses.
“You know you do.” My hand is on her ass, giving it a squeeze as I drag her onto my body.
“Why don’t you show me?” She challenges me. All signs of sleep are completely gone from her pretty honey-colored eyes.
“You’re asking for it.”
“Feels like I’m always asking for it.”
“Please don’t stop on my account. Come on, little girl; time to beg Daddy for what you need, but there’s something you need to be wearing before you do?”
“What’s that?”
“This,” I pull the ring from my pocket, and then slide it onto her finger.
“Oh my goodness, you are serious.”
“I’ve always been serious about you, Everly. I love you.” I pull off her pajama bottoms along with her panties, running my fingers over her wet pussy lips. She moans and then I steal a kiss.
“I love you too, and I will marry you.”
“I know because there is no other option, little girl.” With my cock ready, I lose all my clothes and align myself and push inside.
“You’re lucky it’s huge.” She marvels at the ring.
Grunting, I add, “Yes, it is.” I lace our fingers together and raise our hands above her head, pinning it to the mattress as I fuck my fiancée. We go at it all night long until she realizes that everything is all about her.
Chapter Twelve
Everly
My body aches from the longest day ever. My phone rings and my heart swells to see Julian calling. “Hey beautiful. Are you on your way home?”
“Yes I am. I’m surprised you’re calling me.”
“I had to take some time to call my lovely woman. How was your day?”
“Probably not as tough as yours, but I’m exhausted.”
“I’m sorry, baby. Tell me what happened.”
“We had to work on multiple clients: from kids, men, and women and it included not just haircuts, but styling and coloring. Of course, we tag teamed some of them because hair coloring can be a full on all-day process for some women.”
“Well, go home and get in the tub and soak, eat and then get some good rest. When I get home, I’ll wake you up with kisses and a nice massage.” It sucks when our schedules are so off, but it will be nice to wake up to his touch.
“Mm…that sounds wonderful, but what about you?”
“Damn, baby girl. Don’t get me started on what I want you to do to me, but none of that matters because it’s all for you.” Damn it. I’m no longer so tired and sore. My seat is getting hot, and I have to get some air.
