“I can’t believe you bought a ring in advance.” She props a sassy hand on her hip. “No, wait, I absolutely can.”

Still on one knee, I cock my head to the side. “You going to let me put this on your finger or what?”

“I will, but once you get off your knee.”

I laugh and come to a stand.

Popping the lid on the box, Kate’s eyes go wide. “A black diamond?” She reaches out and touches it. “It’s really beautiful.”

The ring is set on a platinum band, and when I saw it sitting in a jeweler’s window as a “one-off” piece, I knew that it was made for one person only.

My girl.

Slipping it onto her finger, it’s the perfect fit and needs no adjustments.

“JJ, it’s amazing.” She looks at it in awe.

Resting my forehead against hers, I look down at the ring and place a hand over her stomach. “I want our wedding to be small and intimate. Just you, me, close family and our friends. What do you think?”

She palms my cheek and nods. “I know how much of a big deal this is to you after everything that happened last time. Inever pictured myself having children or getting married. But now I do, and it’s entirely because of you and how you’ve turned my life around. I’ll happily marry you alone and in some dingy bar.”

Kissing her gently, I smile against her lips. “I was thinking of my hometown.”

“Perfect. And only East, Layla—his wife—and Ava. I want my parents nowhere near.” She laughs darkly. “Not that they would anyway.”

“Princess, you’re my family now. I promise they’ll never hurt you again.”

Slipping her left hand, complete with my rock, into the waistband of my boxers, she palms my already hard dick. “I want you.”

KATE

Walking to the bed with my legs wrapped around his waist, we kiss passionately, his tongue sliding against mine.

As he lays me down on the bed and lifts my nightdress, a satisfied smile spreads across his face. “No underwear.”

“You like me bare, right?”

“Damn right, I do.” Pushing his boxers to the ground, he drops to his knees on the floor and then pulls me towards him.

“I want to know if wife pussy tastes any sweeter.”

He licks me from my ass to my clit, circling his tongue until my hips rocket off the bed.

“I never thought it could be sweeter, but it fucking is.” He licks his lips. “You’ve always tasted like mine, but now you taste like forever.”

“I want you inside me,” I cry as the first orgasm hits me hard, melting me into the mattress.

Crawling over me, he positions his huge cock at my entrance. “Please,” I beg.

“Please, what?”

“Please give me your cock.”

“That’s a good girl.” He pushes in halfway but then stops, leaving me more desperate than before. “Tell me you’re in love with me.”

This moment feels bigger than when he put a ring on my finger a few minutes before. But big doesn’t necessarily mean scary, and I’m not scared anymore. I’m nervous about what my future as a mom and wife will look like for my career, but mostly, I’m excited. I know he’s what I want.

He’s the only one that’s made me feel this way.
